Today, I was in the car with my mom. We were discussing my brother, how he's been screwing up majorly lately and she blamed it on his friends. Then she turned to me and said, "It's a good thing you've never had any friends." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, my mom chewed me out, because my brother has been complaining to her that I don't talk to him anymore since moving out. We've never talked much, even when we were sharing a place! FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML
Today, I overheard my mom talking to a friend on the phone. What caught my attention was when she said, "You ever look at your kid and just think... 'Fuck. Where'd I go wrong?'" FML
Today, my brother's girlfriend dumped him. I overheard my mom tell him "It could be worse. Your brother can't even get a girlfriend". FML
Today, just because my mum's friend's son got better grades than me, she's now treating me like shit. You know what lady? His mom is way better than you too! She didn't attempt to kill her child half a dozen times, and you don't see me complaining about it all day long. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, I was comforting my friend who has a toxic relationship with her Mom. She said, "If I'm such a failure, they always make it known that I can't live up to their expectations." It caught me a bit off guard when she said, "I wish she would just leave me alone and leave my life just like your mom did." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Take the compliment. If you think you have little to no friends then try being a little more social.

#12 It's not always that easy of a fix. Perhaps OP is shy? It can take awhile to overcome that.

I understand how difficult it can be at times, but being social is a step in the right direction. This is my second semester at this university and I JUST started making new friends. So i know all too well how difficult it can be to make friends. But I can honestly say that even though I wanted to make friends, I wasn't putting much enough effort into doing so. I was always cooped up in my dorm studying and never once did I attend any of the social events on campus. Everything changed once I decided to get up and be a little more social. ( Both my shyness and nagging insecurities makes it a lot difficult for me to make new friends). It took time but it work. So it goes to show that it's not completely impossible. In the case of the OP, he or she could start online. The Internet is a great way to find things to do in your area. I think being in school makes it a little easier though.

Ouch. I barely have friends anymore but that usually what happens to people with children and those without, at my age. Maybe you should be a little more open at school or work? Or maybe youre doing just fine without all that and at least your mom thinks youre turning out ok :)

I suppose the reason for having such an extremely large collection is that they're never used?

Just stick with having only a few close friends. A lot of people will try to bring you down, and like the saying, 'if you have nine broke friends, you'll be the tenth one", is true. Without all of those distractions and peer pressure, you'll grow up to be successful, in my opinion and personal experience.

Sorry, OP! If I'd gone to any other school besides the artsy high school I attended, I likely wouldn't have had any friends. It just takes finding people who are similar to you. I know that's hard! My high school friends have all moved away, so I'm kind of in a transition period friends-wise right now. I know how tough it is.

Man, Doc, some people are so smart these days, don't you think?

Yeah, I almost had to put this into the Enigma Machine before t3hk4d3 decoded it and saved me a boatload of time.
