Today, I hired out a motel room so I could stay there by myself and lie to my mother and grandmother about having friends. This is the third time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML
Today, marks the third time this month my parents came to visit. I moved 5 hours away to get away from them. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I had to clean out my room because I was having a sleepover. Only, I've not been in here for months since I've spent every night in my mom's room because I'm too scared to sleep alone. FML
Today, I got yelled at for staying in my room too long; got yelled at for going out of my room; got yelled at for staying at a friend's place. FML
Today, I walked around town by myself for four hours because I was too ashamed to tell my parents that I have no friends willing to spend time with me. FML
Today, my mom won't let me have the extra hotel room she booked all to myself, even though it's just me, her, and my sister. Basically I can share a room with her or with my sister, but I can't be alone. I'm 23. FML
Today, my parents tricked me by claiming we were going on holiday, but stopped at grandma"s first, "just to say hi", then left me there with my bags. They dumped me with grandma and went on holiday without me. FML
Today, I lied and told my friends I was a compulsive liar. Well, I think I lied. FML
Today, I laid in bed until 3am kept up by a house party. In my own house. Which my housemates didn't invite me to. FML

So get some, and stop wasting your money.

You have to stay out all night to prove you have friends? Wouldn't it be much cheaper to go to a movie and come home late?

Friends are overrated; just be yourself and find what makes you happy. Being alone isn't always a bad thing.

I assume you have a job since you're able to waste money? I have a hard time connecting with people because I am super reserved and introverted. I'm also terrible at small talk so initiating and maintaining conversations with most people is difficult. However, working in an environment with my own peers in a teamwork driven workplace really helped me make some new and great friends. Maybe the same could work for you?

It sucks being socially awkward. I have two people I consider real friends, and one is my sister. If you can find just one person to be friends with, go with that. Usually people with huge social circles have acquaintances instead of true friends. Do something you love, even if it is über dorky you will find a few true friends with common interest.

You deserve it for not even trying to socialize.
