Today, I stumbled across my school bully on Facebook. She's a successful business owner and engaged to be married. I can't land a job and am hopelessly single. The b***h that served as the catalyst for my depression and suffered no repercussions is getting married on my birthday. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Same thing different taste
Today, I looked up my childhood bully on Facebook, hoping she'd gone fat and ugly. Turns out she's drop-dead gorgeous and very successful. FML
Today, my sister announced that she had gotten engaged. I was happy for her until I found out she's marrying the guy who relentlessly bullied me all through high school. FML
Today, we had a school reunion. The guy who bullied me throughout my high school career is now rich and married. I'm broke and single, and he specifically came up to me to point it out. FML
Today, my former high school bully became my manager. FML
Love is hell
Today, I was having a chuckle at the girl who used to torment me since she’s on her fourth marriage. Then I realized she’s gotten four handsome, rich men to marry her, while I’m still hopelessly single and haven’t had a boyfriend since high school. FML
Nostalgia
Today, I got a Facebook friend request from an ex-schoolmate from my high school. He was the same piece of shit who used to bully me at the time. He's now a psychologist. I guess my life was meant to be bollocks. FML
Fate
Today, I found out that my ex-girlfriend got engaged to a coworker. I got her the job. FML
Superhero stuff
Today, I bumped into the bitchy mean girl who bullied me mercilessly throughout high school, leaving deep emotional scars. When I told my boyfriend who she was, he picked her up, carried her out of the store, and threw her into a puddle. FML
Long time coming
Today, the girl I stalked in high school found me. I've since gotten therapy and fixed my attachment issues, but she told my fiancée the whole story anyway. Now I'm single and sleeping on my clothes in the back of a U-haul. FML
I don't know how to say this to you, but…
Today, I came across a friend on Instagram. She's engaged… to my abusive ex… who has been stalking and harassing me lately. She was wearing the ring he gave me. FML

Your FML posting really touched my heart. Sometimes, it really seems like the Universe is against us. Try to remember that it's just a feeling: bad things happen to good people, and great things happen to bad people every day. I feel like the Universe might be sending you a message by having your arch-nemesis get married on your special personal day. That message can be positive or negative, it's up to you! It could be "Look, you're a hopeless case, and even on your best day, your enemies can laugh at you!" or it can be "Look how powerful you are, your former enemy has turned her life around and is celebrating it on YOUR day. Now, it's your turn, and nothing can stop you from turning your life around, too!"

Facebook is one giant illusion, it is not a true reflection of people's lives, people show a very edited and filtered version of themselves. Do you know her business is successful, have you seen her bank balance? I have seen many long term relationships /engagements/marriages crumble where I have been so surprised to hear how miserable they were for a long time but were hiding it, their Facebook persona showed them to be all loved up constantly. Don't focus on it or compare lives, only focus on what you need to do to better yourself!

Most people have others say mean things to them. Usually people move on. Unfortunately some people react very negatively to these things and get upset. That is like blood in the water to a shark. People continue to pick on the person since they got such a satisfying reaction and the bullying begins. OP was the perfect victim. Here the bully is just living her life and the victim still feels bullied. Work on you. I had an adult co-worker who treated me terribly. I pretended like she was my best friend and was sure to say hi with a big smile even when she was being a snot. One day another co-worker said that she didn't like the way she treated me. She was hesitant to say something because she assumed that I hadn't noticed the bully. I laughed and imitated my wide, smiling greeting of the bully. After that every time the bully started to ignore me or treat me badly and I reacted with my enthusiastic smile everyone cracked up. It killed the bully not to be able to get to me.

We all have a little sunshine and a little rain whether we're good or bad people. Hopefully she's changed her ways and is being rewarded for it. Maybe she hasn't and will get hers later. Whichever the case, have faith that your sunshine will come too! Maybe not when you want it, but eventually.

OP you should record a short message of all the terrible things she did when she bullied you. Then sneak it into wedding ceremony or the reception playlist.

So I went on fb to show my son what a pos my bully turned out to be. (I saw him in the paper a few times for drugs) It turns out that his profile pic has the cutest little girl about the same age as my son hugging him with the biggest smiles on their faces. So here I am trying to explain to him not to worry because his bully will grow up to be a pos dad as well. Yeah there was a lot of back pedaling on that one. the moral of story is don't wish bad on ppl regardless of the past, they might have ppl that depend on them

Maybe she’s marrying the psycho of her nightmares but doesn’t realize it? Don’t worry, karma will kick in when she least expects it.

Don't blame others for your insecurities and lack of self discipline.

So instead of getting over someone else's childish actions you let it consume you. Many people have bad experiences in life it's your life to improve not theirs! I hope you can stop blaming others and set yourself up.for success
