Today, I got all dressed up, in high heels and a sparkly dress, to sit in the library for most of the night so that my roommate and his friends would believe that I have a social life. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got all dressed up for a New Year's party. When my parents and siblings left the house to their parties, I got undressed. I wasn't going to a party. I only got dressed up so my family would think I had plans. FML
Today, in an effort to look more professional at work, I wore high heels. My boss decided today would be a great day for me to walk around on the sidewalk holding a sign to advertise instead of doing the job I was hired for. FML
Today, I tried to be productive and got dressed in real clothes instead of sweatpants. I spent the next four hours on the couch binge-watching Netflix and pretending I had plans. FML
Today, I decided to dress up a little to go out to the bar. I put on a nice shirt, some leggings, and heels. When I walked out the door, my dad said that I looked like a whore. When I got to my boyfriend's house I told him what my dad had said and he replied, "I'd have to agree with him." FML
Today, I took the time to make myself look nice just so that the pizza guy would think I had a life. FML
Today, my roommate told me that she was studying in the library. Turns out, she didn't feel like going to the library and just spent all afternoon studying in a friend's room because she didn't think I was capable of shutting up for long enough to get any work done. Our other friends agreed. FML
Today, I dolled myself up and hit the campus gym, hoping to leave with a cute boy's number. I left in a stretcher. FML
Today, I had to lie to my boyfriend about having plans on tonight so he'd think I had a life outside of him. All my "friends" are going to a party. I'm not invited. FML
Today, I spent 2 hours doing my hair, doing my make-up, and picking out an outfit to meet some men. On chatroulette. FML
Today, I was getting a pedicure to cheer myself up. I've been so lonely, I got overly excited when someone sat next to me, because I got to pretend I had a friend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's a bit of a shame. Why not just ask if they fancy going out for a few? Doors may open.

Precisely or you know, since your already fancied up go to a bar or a club or a coffee shop... Actually BE social instead of pretending
moonsalt 20
To be honest, if someone puts that much effort into faking a social life, would it not be easier to actually have one?
Joe9024 20
Maybe OP has some social anxiety issues?

15- You can try and try, working your fingers to calloused nubs trying to make friends and gain a social life, but still get nowhere. There's not enough information about the OP to know their specifics, but social interaction involves two people, and if the other person doesn't want any of it, then you'll get about as far as a slug on salt-flats. Much like my relationship with the FML community, I love them all so, but they seem to hate me. 22- Spot on idea

It's ok OP, for the longest time the only human interaction I had was my dad, mom, and sister.

Time to hit the club! Meet some new people, cute guys, and have fun!

Same here, one of the only people I talk to at school is my little brother Q.Q

From 10 through 13 I pretty much just rolled out of bed said "Hi" to my mom then got on StarCraft or some other game.

Ya OP go to a club and talk to die people you never know what could happen
EpicSquishii 21
Go online and meet some new people. Immediately. There's no reason you have to feel lonely, there are so many people just dying to meet someone like you. You'll find someone to hang out with easily, be introduced to their friends, and so on :)

Female and meeting random people from the Internet, this sounds like a great idea... -.-
EpicSquishii 21
Yeah, you go out to a public place, have your fun, and part ways. Meeting a random person in "real life" and hanging out with them poses the same risk, but if you're intelligent about it, chances are you'll be fine. It's not like I'm saying "go to some man's house for a first meeting, tell no one where you're going, and make sure you accept whatever drink he offers you." Get real

Except the internet allows people to fake who they really are.
EpicSquishii 21
If you meet in a well-lit, public place.... shouldn't matter too much for your safety. "Oh you're a 73 year old man and not a 22 year old girl that wants a shopping buddy? Guess this outing is over, nice to meet you, bye." Will clear up 95% of most mistaken identity mishaps. Also FB and Google are your friends
OverBlossomed 22
What the hell do you mean "shouldn't matter too much for your safety"?!?! Uh...no! My safety matters very much, thank you! Who in their right mind safety shouldn't matter much?!?!

Aw op talk to people online if you find it hard connecting with them.
BronayPonay 6
Meh, if they really are gonna judge you on your social life, tell them to go **** themselves. If you don't want to go out and interact/talk to people most of the time, then you don't have to. I find reading or being in the library much more satisfying sometimes, so don't even sweat it OP, I bet your still awesome.

Next time you get all pretty and ready, go out somewhere fun instead of sitting at a library!

I would have went fishing
Joe9024 20
In a sparkly dress and high heel shoes?
kemic 7
Ya man, don't you know how much sparkly things attract fish?
djxerxes9000 18
"I would've gone fishing." is a much better sentence.

Why should it matter what your roommates think?
little_one 20
Wouldn't you want people to think you have friends? People's opinions matter to us even if they shouldn't. We just all want to be accepted.
SystemofaBlink41 27
I beg to differ... I wouldn't give a llama's balls about being "accepted" and I'm pretty sure a lot of people too.
BronayPonay 6
Not really I mean if I have to prove something to people I don't even know or like that much, it's just kind of a lost cause. People have better things to do than wait for some dicky persons aproval.

#44- no, they don't.
Silly_Lilly6969 23
That's pretty embarrassing, maybe you should ask your roommate to hang out. Or make more friends. Just be yourself.
