Today, I was at a party. Trying to overcome my social anxiety, I was trying to take part in conversations. So, when a girl mentioned she had a doctor's appointment next morning, I blurted out: "What kind of a doctor?" Everyone stared as she responded: "A gynaecologist." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was at the doctor's office and the doctor asked me, "Have you been having any intimate relations?" and the first thing that I blurted out was, "You mean with other people?" FML
Today, I overheard a coworker talking about going to what sounded like a dentist's appointment. As she left later, I jokingly said, "Remember to open wide!" Turned out her appointment was with her OB/GYN, not a dentist. FML
Today, I went to my gynecologist's for a check-up. After the doctor checked me I went to the bathroom. It turns out the walls aren't soundproofed, because I could hear the doctor telling his assistant, "God! How did she ever find a husband?" FML
Today, I managed to score a date for the first time in over a year, and was very nervous. When I was asked what I do for a living, I laughed nervously, and then blurted out, "Finger women." What I was trying to jokingly say was that I'm a gynecologist. FML
Today, I went to my GP to discuss my anxiety. As I was explaining my symptoms, I accidentally farted loudly due to my nervousness. The doctor paused and said, "Well, let's address that as well." FML.
Today, I went to see my gynecologist. She was writing my symptoms up in my chart on her computer. After a little while, I noticed that she had a confused look on her face and was reading something instead. When I took a peek at the computer screen, I saw that she was Googling my symptoms. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job as a receptionist at a small doctor's office. When the doctor's wife called and asked if he'd stepped out, I blanked the word "Doctor" and instead replaced it with, "Medicine man." FML
Today, I answered a call I thought was from my friend and opened with, “What do you want, fuck face?” It was actually my dentist confirming my appointment. There was a long pause before she politely repeated my name to ensure they had the right patient. FML
Today, I went to a new doctor. While filling out charts she looked up and said, "I'm assuming you are single." FML
Today, I was at working at Burger King as a cashier. A girl I met last night came in and said, "Aren't you that guy from last night?" Last night, I had told her I was going to medical school and was going to be a doctor in less than a year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's when you offer to help get her loose and ready beforehand

Hey there's no way you could have known. But don't let this get you down! It's just a good future story to tell ^_^
cryssycakesx3 23
it's also apparently a present story to tell.

Exactly! Why bring up a drs appointment if you don't want to answer questions about what the appointment is for? This isn't OPs fault at all and they shouldn't feel bad or embarrassed.

Gyno cat?

Haha I feel like this is more of an fml for her. It's a legit question.

not only that if she did not want this known she would not have mentioned a doctor.

Could have been a dr. Appointment for just about anything. She did mention the appointment first

Yeah, if she didn't want to talk about it then she shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

My feelings exactly. If she was embarrassed she could have fibbed and said it was a dentist appointment or something. Clearly it didn't bother her to tell the truth about where she was going, so why let it bother you, OP?

It would only have been weird if you asked her if there was something wrong.

It's okay op... I'd have ended up asking the same, then probably walking off to mentally punch myself or break down a little, even the best of us aren't good at party talk, either.

I wouldn't feel so bad about it..I mean if you social anxiety and tried to over come it..think of it as the first step..now just brush it off the best you can and try meeting new people..you reacted In a quick response and nervous..ANXIETY..so try try try again..good luck

however, embarrassing yourself (although I see nothing to be embarrassed about) it usually does the opposite to a persons confidence. it's certainly much easier to say/think you can use such an experience to better yourself, but when you're completely mortified, you just wanna hide under a rock.

Keep getting yourself in uncomfortable situations you will get used to it eventually
