Today, I was trolling on a My Little Pony forum. I was midway through typing a big post, calling them all a bunch of attention-seeking losers who act like morons because their parents never loved them, when I broke down in tears, realizing I'd just perfectly described myself. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was trolling in a chat room when someone said, quote, "He's just a no-life, unemployed loser still living in his mom's basement. Probably spends all day stroking his tiny dong and fantasizing about having a real girlfriend." I actually started crying because it was so accurate. FML
Today, I finally accepted I need help with my anxiety issues. I started small and I joined a support forum and wrote a post. I was quickly called a troll by multiple users, accused of faking it, and told to "fuck off back to Tumblr" because they wouldn't believe my anxiety is really so serious. FML
Today, I was really stressed, so I tried to let it out by crying. It lasted about 30 seconds, and I was making fun of myself the whole time. Even my subconscious thinks I'm pathetic. 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 was reading a blog post by a girl that I really like. In the post, it said, "I know I'm not beautiful." I told her that I thought it wasn't true at all. She responded by crying hysterically and asking me why I would say that. It turned out that it actually said, "I know I'm beautiful." FML
Today, I realized I shouldn't have confessed anonymously to my long time crush through an anonymous account. I was so happy that they noticed me a little and made posts that seems directed to me, but then they just stopped. I'm so sad and craving their attention that I'm getting upset when I shouldn't be. FML
Today, I approached my mother for comfort, because I've been feeling depressed and unloved by anyone lately. She replied, “Honestly, I stopped loving you back when you were a toddler.” FML
Today, I found out the hard way that everyone in my dorm knows I watch My Little Pony. FML
Today, I went down a four-hour YouTube rabbit hole trying to understand the Onision drama. I finally snapped out if it, thinking, "I don't care about any of this. What am I doing with my life?" FML
Today, I was sitting with a group of people at lunch. I was having a bad day, so I began venting to them. Eventually, they got tired of it and banned me from the table, because my "depressing mindset" reminds them of their trauma. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just because they don't like what you or I like doesn't mean that their parents didn't love them, it means they like a fandom. I like Dr. Who does that make me an attention seeking loser?

Ouch. This is a very sad but important story. Trolling. It's only a temporary method of relief and attention, much like an alcoholic's drinking. Noticing a problem is the first step on the road to fixing it. Attention-seeking. It's a term with negative connotations, but in reality we all need attention. Positive attention is always better than negative attention though. And when we receive positivity, we give positivity. It's a shame, the social pressures that men go through. Men are supposed to be strong, independent, etc. and when that is not the case, and they don't realize the illusion of these social pressures, Bad Things Happen. But it is just that- an illusion. You can appear tough on the outside, when on the inside you are anything but. Accept that. And once you let down the guise of fitting in, the true you will shine. So yeah. It doesn't matter if you feel like an attention-seeking loser. Lots of others have exactly the same problem. And it's not a problem. You've just got to seek attention in the right way. The My Little Pony episode One Bad Apple (S3E4) has a similar moral. It's about [spoiler]a pony being bullied about her appearance, who, to trying to avoid her problems, bullies other ponies about their appearance. Eventually they all realize this and become friends, but not before some problems along the way. OP, if you ever want someone to vent at without fear of being judged, feel free to drop me a PM. :) I feel this is a good time to quote C. S. Lewis - "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
