Today, while making New Year's resolutions, I realized that I haven't hung out with anybody other than my family in over two years and I started crying. When my mom came in and I explained why I was crying, she replied, "Well that sucks. I'm off to have lunch with some friends. See you later!" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister-in-law asked why I wasn't out partying with my friends to celebrate the new year. My mom then asked "What friends?". Ah, the new year begins. FML
Today, I was feeling very sad and alone, so I went to see my mom. I was there for over two hours, but she was on the phone gossiping with her church hens for about an hour and 45 minutes. Then she wonders why I hardly ever visit. FML
Today, I was finally alone for the first time in a year. I thought I'd go to a restaurant, but ended up getting there before they opened. While waiting, I listened to music, only to end up crying for several minutes because I haven't had a girlfriend since 2010, and never will again. FML
Today, I asked my husband to spend New Year's with me watching a movie or maybe spending some time together. He said, "I can't upset my family by coming to celebrate New Year's with you." For context, we live separately because my Dad passed away and I can't leave my mum alone. FML
Today, I got invited out by friends for coffee after I broke up with my boyfriend. When I told my mom where I was going, she looked at me and said, "But you don't have friends. All your friends are pixels. Where are you really going?" FML
Today, I was at a goodbye dinner with friends before I move back to America. A friend called to cry over relationship problems she refuses to fix. While I was outside trying to politely get off the phone, my friends ate and drank everything I'd ordered and closed the bill. FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, I noticed that my weekend hobby is crying. I live in a city where I don't have a single friend or relative. FML
Today, after a huge heartbreak and a night of crying, I wake up to an empty house. I go in the kitchen to make breakfast and see a note on the counter saying "We heard you crying last night and didn't want to hear you complaining this morning, so we went to the mall. - Mom" FML
Today, it's again one of many times my mom dropped me off at the mall to hang out with friends. Since I have no friends, I shop by myself and always tell her I had "so much fun". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you don't like not having a life, start making one. It's not like people get one on Christmas day or something, you have to actually do something for it.

I don't have anyone to hang out with, either. However, I wouldn't cry about something like that because crying doesn't solve anything. Since you're already making your resolutions anyway, make a note of meeting new people and get to it.

YDI!, Honestly, just get a better social live then, instead of crying it out here. I think its already time to take action when you only hang out with your family in a month :P

Stop being a whiny loser and maybe you'll get some friends.. People don't seem to understand, you don't gain a social life by standing around whining about not having one..

People (especially high schoolers) don't seem to get that after high school, social lives don't always just fall in your lap. FYL, it can be hard making lasting friendships sometimes.

Absolutely. It's very difficult once you're done with school. It's even worse if you're shy or have been a loner for most of your life.

So you expected your mother to abandon her friends to take care of you because you've decided not to make new friends or do anything with friends you used to have? Essentially you're upset because your mother wouldn't begin to adapt herself to the behavior you're complaining about. Start going out, start making friends, or start rebuilding relationships you let go. Crying about it solves absolutely nothing.

If you don't put in the effort to be social and make new friends, you won't have any. If you're an introvert it can be difficult but not impossible
