Today, my dad had a go at me because he thought I was embarrassed by him and that was why I never invited any of my friends over. I was too embarrassed to tell him it's actually because I don't have any friends to invite over. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my dad lied and said he was busy working, all because he didn't want to see me. FML
Today, my dad grounded me for not having any friends. FML
Today, while at a family reunion, my parents kept bringing up horrible things I did when I was about 4-6 years-old that I've been trying to forget for decades. After a while, I just stormed out. When I came back in the room, my dad had the nerve to ask me why I left and why I wasn't talking to him. FML
Today, my dad got drunk at a party and flashed me and my friends. FML
Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML
Today, my mom was going to take me shopping to buy a gift for my dad’s birthday, but unfortunately, I missed a spot while cleaning the kitchen. Now my mom is “embarrassed to be seen with me in public” and will buy my dad nothing, and tell him it’s because I don’t love him. FML
Today, one of my friends got me in trouble when he called our house and asked my parents why they didn't see us at a school conference. My parents were at a meeting elsewhere at the time, so I didn't bother to tell them about it, as we couldn't have gone there to begin with, and it was voluntary. They're mad anyway. FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, I found out why my dad doesn't want my girlfriend coming to our house anymore. Apparently, her dad used to bully him a lot during high school and he's never gotten over it. He's threatened to disown me if she comes back over here. FML
Today, my dad is an asshole. My brother gets to bring home and shag as many girls as he wants, yet when I told my dad I was inviting my study group to our house, 3 girls and 1 boy I’m not romantically interested in, he removed my bedroom door, just in case. FML

It really isn't that simple. What if OP is shy and has a hard time talking to people in the first place?

friends can be made, tons of them. But you only have one father (well, most of us) and it's important to at least trust him. So just tell him. It's a good start :)

79 - Because standards have plummeted. Kids from the millenia generation have learned to write online, where abbreviations, slang and (sigh) "text-speak," are the primary forms of communication. You'd be appalled at how many students turn in papers that use abbreviations, spell "you" as "u," don't always capitalize or punctuate. I mean, some use "text-speak" abbreviations, like, "BTW." Sadly, Standard American English is losing the battle to dialects that are slang and internet based. Shoot - even Webster's continues to decreased it's standards. I heard they have added "friend" in as a verb.
