Now imagine the panic attack you'll have when you see how famous you've become by having an FML published.

You don't just want to watch the world burn, you actually pour the gasoline and light the match.

I'd love to be on TV and get to talk to other people! Especially if I got to choose what topic I could talk about. :D

I agree with you! I think a lot of us have anxiety about at least one thing. For me it's foods with a certain fluffy consistency, such as marshmallows. It's good that OP at least recognizes that there's an issue that needs to be addressed.

Are you planning on being on TV sometime soon? I'm guessing you are based on your FML, but if not, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
