Today, I was talking to my mom lamenting the fact that none of my few relationships seem to last longer than 2 months. She asked why and I said, "because I'm paranoid, obsessive compulsive, judgmental, defensive, and stubborn." Instead of encouraging me, she said, "Well, at least you're honest." 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 mom why nobody likes me. She reeled off about a dozen reasons. 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, I told my mom that I was taking antidepressants because I hate myself. She said "That's not surprising. You hate everybody. And, you're kind of a bitch." FML
Today, my father described me as "the sort of sucker women marry then cheat on all the time." My mother agreed with him. FML
Today, my mom confessed that she has to make up compliments to give to prove me wrong when I said she can never say positive things about me. FML
Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML
Today, I asked my mother if we could test me for OCD, since so many people have suggested to me that I might have it. She smiles at me and says, "No, honey, you're just really really weird." FML
Today, my mom told me my relationship is a joke, because teenagers don't understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. I couldn't help but remind her how she's divorced three separate men to date. She hit me over the head so hard that snot flew out of my nose. FML
Today, my mother is such a nosy, intruding busybody, she has driven away my last three boyfriends who could no longer stand her. My latest fella had even proposed, but he asked for the ring back and you can bet he blamed my mother for repeatedly involving herself in our private business. FML
Today, my anxious, obsessive, overbearing mother called me four times. That's significantly less than usual. When I complained to my dad, he said, "She just worries about you because she loves you." I don't feel loved, I feel smothered. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, if you posted that here looking for some encouragement - all I can say is your Mom knows you better than I do so I'm going to have to go with her assessment. "Put on your big girl panties", stop whining, and start addressing your problems!

If you know your flaws, why do you let them ruin your relationships?

Your mother WAS being encouraging; at least you're not in denial. Now stop looking for pity comments and get to work on handling those issues.

Slime like you are why I hate society. At what point did it become okay to just tell someone to go kill themselves, or cut themselves, or develop anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. Especially people who may actually be depressed! How would you feel if that quiet little kid who dressed in black and sat at the back of the classroom actually DID go kill himself, as many people suggested? Would you be happy? I certainly hope not, otherwise you belong in prison with the rest of the scum of society.

42, shut up. Trying to convince everyone that the world is filled with worthless scum won't make you any less of a loser.

How am I a loser? There are so many better targets for that label, like #28, just an example. And who am I trying to convince? I'm happy living in my own little world, avoiding idiots.
