Today, I realized that I lie to my friends online and go "offline" for hours at a time so it appears that I have a life outside of the internet. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I purposely went offline on Facebook chat, just so people would think I actually have a life. FML
Today, I lied and told my friends I was a compulsive liar. Well, I think I lied. FML
Today, I decided not to go on Facebook so people would actually think that I have a life. FML
Today, I found myself lying to my diary. FML
Today, I had to lie to my boyfriend about having plans on tonight so he'd think I had a life outside of him. All my "friends" are going to a party. I'm not invited. FML
Today, I spent an hour deleting 70 of my status posts from the past week so I don't look so addicted to Facebook. Damn, I need a life. FML
Today, I've discovered that it's hard to convince your friend that your Internet won't stop randomly shutting off when he's trying to have a serious conversation with you. I'm actually not lying, but he thinks I'm trying to ignore him. FML
Today, I had to admit that I'm polyamorous. Well, I'm in several relationships. Parasocial relationships. With YouTubers and Twitch streamers. I talk to them through the screen. I can't remember what it's like to have real-life friends. FML
Today, I realized that I hate lying to my mom about having a boyfriend. FML
Today, I realized I've been sinking into a deep depression, ignoring all my friends, and don't know what to do with my life anymore. This is all because I gave up Facebook for lent. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

this is weird O.o; i'm a Kimberley in Canada your're a Kimberly in France except i don't lie to my online friends i can honestly tell them i haven't had offline friends in 8 years. and i'm only 22. (before anyone calls me a bigger loser than OP, my best friend was taken by fostercare when i was 13, right in front of me the cops took her away while we were walking to my house, the trama from that made me become a loner in highschool, never made friends for fear of losing them. if i posted a fml i figured it'd be too depressing)

That has nothing to do with anything. Stop looking for sympathy on the Internet.

Hey, I'll give you sympathy. It's not uncommon to learn to build relationships in a safer environment of Internet. and then you can move from there--when you're ready and want a fuller experience. 22 is pretty young. Cheers for Canada. :)

:/ not really looking for sympathy 'suckstobey0u' just being honest, ppl have reasons for not having offline friends, nothing to be ashamed of i don't care either way if i ever have offline friends i have a few good friends online and thats all i need. ^_^ aw thank you 'spellfire' the internet is much safer to make friends, as long as one is careful, the internet is not lacking creepers.

My best friend moved to California in 7th grade. The best friend I had in high school ****** me over not long ago. As of late, I have acquaintances that I hang out with. I don't get too close anymore. Do I spend too much time online? Probably. For the longest time I was without internet. I feel ya, Kimberly. It's kinda lonely though.
