Today, I photoshopped a picture for my Facebook profile so my stomach would look a little flatter. I came back later, only to find someone had said, "What in God's name is this? Is your belly duck-facing?" and half a dozen other insults. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my friend to crop me out of her profile picture on Facebook because I look terrible in it. She responded that she wasn't going to, because it made her look better. FML
Today, I uploaded what I thought were beautiful selfies. One of my "friends" commented, "I've seen what your whole body looks like, so that's why you take only headshots. You're not fooling anybody, fatty." His comment got 18 likes. I took down the photos and spent the rest of my afternoon in tears. FML
Today, my friends and I were messing around with an app on my phone that makes your picture look fat. My picture looked the same before and after. FML
Today, my friend found a picture of herself on a website filled with pictures of thin people. I was in the picture, also. I was crossed-out with the word, "EWW" written next to me. FML
Today, I posted a picture of me without makeup on Facebook. A "friend" commented, "fuk me thts hideus!!" My dad replied, "Hideous, yes, just like your godawful spelling!" My mom yelled at my dad for agreeing with the guy, and they're still fighting. Meanwhile, my self-esteem is in the gutter. FML
Today, I was looking through pictures on Facebook. There was a picture of me and my friends with the caption "I love you guys!" below. I had been cropped out. FML
Today, I was at a friend's house when his dad told me that he had Photoshopped his face onto a woman's body. I looked at the photo and said it was gross, disgusting, and weird. Later on, my friend told me that the photo was actually a picture of his dad's twin sister. FML
Today, my dad finally added me on Facebook, When I looked through his photos, I quickly noticed he'd heavily photoshopped the photos I'm in to make me look prettier. FML
Today, I uploaded a new Facebook profile photo, which got over 20 likes in the space of an hour. The most I've ever gotten before was 10. Surprised, I went to check my picture again, only to notice two guys were sarcastically flipping me the bird in the background. FML
Today, I posted a photo on Facebook showing a side-by-side view of me before and after I'd tried out my new makeup. My dad commented, "What is this, Gollum cosplaying an Orc?" My mum, brother, and over 20 "friends" liked his comment. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you're insecure about your stomach, easiest thing to do is not take pictures showing your stomach. You unfortunately had to choose option B and you're paying for it. I hope you learn from this.

No one is perfect. Just be happy with how you are:)

Did anyone else read it as 'duck-f***ing' instead of 'duck-facing'?

Don't show your belly on a picture if you're not comfortable with it then. Simples.

If you don't like your body, eat healthy and exercise. Simple.

How the hell would someone's photoshop skills be so bad that their belly was making a duck face? Because the only thing that makes me picture are things that should have been noticeable to her before she posted the pic as not looking good... like a duck-bill like protrusion from the middle of her stomach.... I'm too confused by the technical aspects of her FML to be yelling at her for being shallow...

I really don't understand half you people on here...some people are uncomfortable with their bodies whether they are around their friends or not. we all have something we are self conscious about. I'm sorry but you didn't deserve it, and the rest of these people are assholes, and so are the people who left the comments on your Facebook. the reality behind this is that people who make fun of you are just self conscious about themselves because they feel inferior to others. downvote all you want but that just proves my point.

No one forced OP to include her stomach on the picture. So if you're nog comfortable showing your stomach, choose a pic with just your face. Photoshopping your stomach to make it look better is in no way justifiable. That's like a doctor photoshopping an X-ray to heal your broken leg.

115 You make me laugh, yes people are ass holes, but as 119 said, she shouldn't have included her stomach in the photo if she was self conscious of it. You coddling the OP and telling her that they were all wrong for voicing their opinions in a place specifically designed for such, is only hurting her. If she wants confidence she'll just have to lose her stomach, and find it herself, you're not going to help by telling her their wrong.

That's what you get for using photoshop.
