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.

I suggest you go out to public places & talk to the people there. Music festivals, art walks, fairs, clubs, bars, whatever's popular in your region. Maybe enroll at a community college & talk to people in elective classes. Or take classes anywhere & make friends. Dance classes, art classes or cooking classes.

So, you were having an affair with Steinbeck, Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald;). The library is a great place to check out guys (for two weeks at a time.)

YDI: If you put as much effort into your life as you did your lies this would not be an issue.

So you tried to convince people within your social circle.... that you have a social life? Makes sense.. Though like previous comments have said just go out and meet people.

I do the same OP, do not worry, it will only get worse in time if you do not find at least library friends. Hope you feel better :)

"Library friends".... Are those like "internet friends"? If so, I don't think that would be much better than having a bunch of "facebook friends" right?

Wow OP! Share your Twitter here! Maybe someone lives near you and you could meet up?
