Today, I managed to not think too much about how alone I feel living in a strange city, and I went out to find a quiet place to write and eat. After I ordered my meal, I saw that I was the only diner that was sitting alone at a table. Then "All By Myself" came on the radio. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 realized how alone I truly was when I caught myself talking to a podcast. FML
Today, feeling bored and lonely, I drove into town to wander around the shops and go to Subway for lunch. While there, I picked up two trays and put one on the opposite side of the table, along with some of my rubbish, to make it look like I was with someone. FML
Today, I was alone in the kitchen doing the dishes, and I started singing along to my favorite song when it came on my playlist. However, unbeknownst to me, my neighbors were having a barbecue next door, and they cheered and applauded when I'd finished. I’m never singing again. FML
Today, I wanted to be alone for once, so I went out for dinner, planning to go to the cinema afterwards. My sister ambushed me at the restaurant because she’d heard I was stressed out and wanted to be alone, so she thought she should keep me company while I was alone to make me feel better. FML
Today, I was at a new restaurant when I went to the restroom. When I was done, I sat back down at the table, and idly started listening to my friends chatting. After a few seconds, I realized I'd sat at the wrong table, with complete strangers, who were too polite and/or bemused to say anything. FML
Today, I went out to eat with some friends. They picked a table that wasn't big enough for all of us. I had to sit in the booth behind them. Alone. FML
Today, I finally noticed how lonely I am when I realized I was petting my couch while reading a book. FML
Today, I was so lonely that I had a conversation with myself on my way home. It was only when I reached my apartment complex that I discovered that my neighbour had been walking behind me, laughing to himself the whole way. FML
Today, I saw a girl walking to class by herself. I thought she was weird for not having any friends to walk with. Thats when I realized I was eating lunch by myself. In my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just one of those days, OP. You should join a club or go to a bar or something and meet people :)

^ has a point. People likely won't come up and introduce themselves to you. You will have to make the effort to meet others. Perhaps check for groups in your city that share a common interest. You might be able to talk a bit online and feel them out before you meet (in a public place, of course). Find what interests you, and frequent areas that relate to your interest and you will meet others with the same passions.

Hey, you wanted a quite place. There's definitely a correlation between noise level, and amount of people. Go somewhere noisy and you'll probably find people.

How about you quit moping and do something about it.
Illblowyourmind 3
OP was actually trying not to mope, that was the irony of the FML-that the universe seemed to want her to mope ;P

...followed by U2's "One," "One is the Loneliest Number" by Three Dog Night, "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by the Beatles, and "Lonely Day" by System of a Down. I think someone's out to get you.
