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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

having just moved to cardiff from southampton, im in a similar situation to OP. however, rather than sit and mope about it, i'm throwing myself into making friends at work, which seems to be working. i can only suggest OP does this as well. it's cheaper than hiring hotels if nothing else (Y)

Identify what about you prevents you from having friends and work to change it. You deserve being alone if you maintain your behavior and it hinders you from having friends.

Yes we will be waiting for the FML of your stay at the Budget Inn with dirty Mike and the boys.

Little advise for future-reference:This is nowhere near the "love" category.

I was in the same boat, I'm still getting over crippling social anxiety. My family didn't understand how difficult it was at first, but slowly with their help I'm getting out more and finding people with similar interests and hobbies. It takes time and understanding between you and your family, and maybe counseling to show you how to change. It's not impossible.
