Today, I received a text saying, "I don't think we should be friends anymore. You're terribly depressing and you make everyone unhappy" followed by, "Oops, wrong person!" and then by, "Sorry, it really is for you". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a text from my girlfriend in which she broke up with me. I was upset, but one minute later another text from her said, "Sorry, wrong person." FML
Today, feeling so depressed to the point of having suicidal thoughts, I texted a girl I had a crush on. Her response? "Can you please delete my number, you're getting annoying." FML
Today, I received a "Happy Birthday" text from my ex. I thought maybe she missed me, but when I replied with a polite, "Thank you," they responded with "Sorry, wrong person. However, fuck you." Ouch. Happy birthday to me, indeed. FML
Today, an old friend of mine texted me, saying we should hang out. I thought it was really sweet and was excited to see her again, until she realized that she was texting the wrong person, and canceled our plans immediately. FML
Today, I was trying to break up with my boyfriend over text. I was being really careful to phrase it nicely, and I hit send with a sigh of relief. Except I sent the text to my mom, who now keeps sending me unsolicited advice about my "love life" with an occasional "You go, girl!" FML
Today, the person I've been sharing my most intimate feelings with finally got bored and let me know I've been texting the wrong number for weeks. FML
Today, I sent out a text saying "Smile! You're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." to most of my contacts. I got one reply, from my best friend, saying, "Are you fucking stupid?" FML
Today, a close, funny friend who has quite the attitude, received a long email from a long-time friend of hers, telling her how difficult she is. When I told her it doesn’t matter, that she is still wonderful, she went off on how bad a friend I am for saying that, and then deleted me off WhatsApp. FML
Today, a boy I'm not even dating took it upon himself to tell me that we would never work out. Via text message. FML
Today, I sent a cute, jokey text to my girlfriend saying, "Just in case the world ends, I love you." Not only did she dump me because I was an "idiot for believing in the doomsday", which I don't, she also wrote a Facebook status about it. Now everyone thinks I'm mentally unstable. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Text back: "Who are you again? I forgot, I have so many assholes in my contacts."

Actually, this IS pretty depressing compared to other FMLs that just talk about inconveniences like anal seepage. It's quite depressing to find out your friends would rather ditch you than help you out if they think you sound sad all the time, that'd usually be the cue to ask if anything's wrong, not dump them. ): Also, am I the only one who thought the first comment was being sarcastic?

That was so depressing to read, OP why did you post it. Now everyone that reads it will be unhappy!

Do you not understand the point of FML?
DrownedMyFish 18
You really shouldn't be on FML if you thought this one was a depressing read.
DrownedMyFish 18
Hold on. I think #1 was attempting to make a joke. It just wasn't funny.

I think #1 was joking, because in the fml the op's ex friend says he / she is terribly depressing and makes everyone unhappy...
chaxandgoods 9
I think he/she said that as a parody to the FML
PeteyPablo12308 20
Anal seepage?! Which one was that?!
Voij 16
25, uhm... the one right below this one.

You're sprinkling salt on a wound

Do you not understand sarcasm?
Micayla 12
Wow, forget them OP. obviously they can't see what an awesome and amazing person you are! They don't deserve to be your friend anyways!
UberNova 18
Clearly they have more of an opinion than a random person on the internet. Don't try and make OP feel better with lies, he/she probably is a very depressing person. Stop with all these lies and sugar-coating, if OP wants friends then he/she needs to change.
Krystal3408 32
I agree with this guy
Theglc20 27
Meh. if they dont like you for who you are. There not a true friend anyway
Krystal3408 32
You can't just use that as an excuse everytime although its tempting. Things need to change, OP.
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
Ya.. like if youre depressed, take actions to better your life. If you come off as depressing, then forget them! Apparently your personality type doeant work with theirs.
Pandacupcakelove 26
#3 That doesn't really fit here... Depressing is not who the OP is. If they're a depressing person, they're probably also a depressed person. The friend should have brought it up face to face though, and been a little nicer.

This is what I'll do next time someone's a jackass. Thanks.

Finally a good comment! Lol

You're better off without him/her, trust me. Not only is it low to say things like that through SMS, but the whole number confusion also suggests she/he might've not been the brightest spoon in the shed.
chaxandgoods 9
I completely agree with you. But it is either "Brightest spoon in the drawer" or "Brightest tool in the shed".Please don't mind, I'm just a grammar Nazi. FYL OP.
corocoro 30
Actually, that's the joke. ;) And it's a mix of: *Sharpest spoon in the drawer. *Sharpest tool in the shed. *Brightest light in the room. / Brightest crayon in the box.
RedPillSucks 33
Yes. Mixing metaphors on purpose can be very punny. Unfortunately some people either don't get it or are too anal about it. That spoils the joke. I thought it was funny. And grammar nazis don't care about metaphors as long as the grammar is OK.
imshadyxo 25
That phrase is rather confusing... "sharpest spoon in the drawer". I dunno about you but my spoons aren't sharp.. Just round
Slawter16 24
#57, again, that was the joke.
StarWolf111 21
You need to find new friends then.
Krystal3408 32
OP also needs to obviously change something
iAlissa 34
Yes #34, I forgot you knew the entire situation, and that OP is to blame. Look at the situation from all angles before making an ignorant, assuming comment.
SunAndMoon427 12
Yes 34 because changing depression is so simple... It's obvious if they're a depressing person they're probably depressed and just saying "well just change it" is probably the rudest thing you can tell someone with a mental illness.
websphere69 27
Its sas the way that people are losing that personal touch with each other these days, its their loss!
tigrouficele2012 44
I've had people say that to me. It just makes me more depressing because then I have angst about losing friends. Yay for vicious cycles?
DancingShadow_fml 12
I think that it's probably time to reflect on yourself as a person... Maybe everyone else feels this way too...
Pesticides 19
one isolated opinion doesn't make op have to question his/her own personality
stangluv 15
Correct, but a little self reflection doesn't hurt in a situation like this.

I heard texting back "k" makes people really angry... Try that.
gracehi 33
"**** you, you botched abortion! I hate you and never want to see you or even hear your name uttered again! I curse you and hope that your head falls off at an awkward moment and tumbles into the depths of hell followed shortly by the rest of your body!" ... "K."
