Today, I made a Sim of myself and had her work out until she was completely fit, then got her a job and a husband. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk, fat, single, and jobless. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while playing The Sims 2, I realized I had a virtual person's whole life planned out, and have nothing planned out for myself. FML
Today, I played The Sims just so I'd know what it was like to live alone, own a home, and have a well-paying job that didn't slowly kill me from the inside out. It was the happiest I've been in months. FML
Today, a close friend pointed out to me how ironic it is that I make the Sim version of myself work out to lose weight, while I sit on my fat ass playing video games. FML
Today, I just realized that my Sims character has a far more stable lifestyle than what I can ever have. FML
Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML
Today, I spent a good hour playing a life simulation game so my character could go through the stages of pregnancy and labor, only to jealously cry for an hour because my character can successfully get pregnant and have a baby, and I can't. FML
Today, after learning that my wife has been cheating on me, I decided to distract myself by playing The Sims. Not long after I began, my Sim's wife basically started cheating on him. FML
Today, like every day, I scrolled through my social media feeds, seeing happy couples, people buying houses and landing their dream jobs. I, on the other hand, am a single 23 year-old man in a dead end job, who still lives with his parents. FML
Today, my son was playing The Sims, when I saw him remove the door to a room and set it on fire with a Sim trapped inside. I chuckled at first, until I saw that the Sim was me. Meanwhile, my wife's Sim was happily painting in the next room, not giving a crap. All too accurate, sadly. FML
Today, I woke up on my day off as a family man. Yesterday I played an AI game where I went back to my college days in the 2000s. I recreated those days as they were, and it brought back many memories. The problem? The game let me create the perfect girlfriend. I regret dating my now ex-wife back then more than ever. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well then. I think you need to be more optimistic OP! You aren't single and fat! You're liberated and well endowed! Yeah. Sure. Can I get a cookie?

Aww take an example of your sim, I'm sure you're being too harsh on yourself! *cyber hugs*

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the image of your Sim is your own manifestation or how you want your life to be. Be more strong-willed into getting what you want, OP. Shed a couple of pounds and hit the gym, build up your confidence and love yourself. :) :) :)

Well then here's a idea if you don't like something about your self then maybe you should get up and do something about it instead of complaining from behind the computer desk

Maybe you should work on your real life instead of spending so much time on a fake one.

Then get out there and do something about it?

Why don't you make your Sim fat, jobless and single, and maybe then you will realize that its life is a piece of shit and needs to change?

I love how you can say ruthless shit and people still like it. You remind me of Maximus Aurelius. Granted FML is a mob mentality and these people are weak on their own. You have manipulated these people so well. I truly admire it.
perdix 31
Do you mean Marcus Aurelius?

@86: Or maybe it got so many thumbs up because it's true? If you're fat, jobless, and single you're not exactly living the dream.

109. I did mean Maximus. But you're correct. It is Marcus. Been awhile. Let's just say you're not Maximus the merciful in that case.
