Everybody has a body
Today, I realised just how cripplingly self-conscious I am, when I couldn't even fantasise about having sex with a guy without feeling shy and insecure about my body. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was feeling a bit insecure about my body, and I told my boyfriend I don't know how he can even stand to have sex with me. He replied, "I know, right?" FML
Today, I realized how sex-deprived I am when the thought of owning condoms gave me a rock-solid erection. FML
Today, I realized how bad my depression has gotten when I caught myself fantasizing about suicide while having sex with my husband. FML
Today, my girlfriend wanted to try having sex despite her serious body image issues. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it up due to how utterly terrified she looked. Now no matter what I say, she thinks it's all because her body is hideous. FML
Today, I realized that I'm so depressed that I can't even watch porn without getting upset about how I can't get laid. FML
Today, I got more turned on by the idea of sex with my boyfriend than actually doing it. FML
Today, I was so insecure, I got scared of what people might think of my fingers. FML
Today, I realized how truly insecure I really am when the guy in the show I was watching looked straight into the camera and I immediately looked away. FML
Today, it’s been so long since I’ve had sex I’m seriously considering hiring a professional if you catch my drift. I try to put myself out there but I’m so self-conscious about my mastectomy scars that the thought of anyone seeing me naked sends me into a heaving sobbing anxiety attack. FML
Today, I realized just how much my bad sex life has started affecting me, when after not being able to climax from masturbating, I instinctively faked an orgasm. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sad. One day op
ProfessionalTrol_fml 14
Yeah, just like how one day you may be able to come up with a decent first comment. Nice try though
Eiregal2 10
Bitchy follow comment. How original!
unknown_user5566 27
30- It's funny that you are pointing out a snarky comment while being snarky yourself. Pot calling the kettle black, eh?
Eiregal2 10
Yyyaay thumbs down and a dig. I am truly part of the FML family now. I'm happy
Meettitan 14
Why do people bitch about first comment all the time? Not everyone comments with paragraphs of well written, comedic, gold. Also, by there logic of "You wasted a coment!!!1!"... don't you just waste 2 by bitching about it? /endrant

68 People treat being first as some sort of godly reward. It's funny as hell to see the comments after a guy says "first" though.

I find shyness and insecurity in a girl cute :3
Ren_Uchiha 11
One day OP will what? was the desire to be first so powerful you couldn't even type out a full comment?
englishdweller 3
It's one of those saying that we "older" people would get, instead of "tlkn lk ths"
Meettitan 14
102- what makes your comment more "full" than theirs? Honestly shit like this is irritating. Next people are going to be saying their opinions are more valid than others, because they're opinion is more "full." /endsecondrant

Working out may solve your problem... Just maybe
sarahlouise0506 10
Just cos OP feels insecure about her body doesn't mean she is fat. She may have lots of moles, or spots. We all have bits of our bodies we don't like
alshygirl 14
Confidence is sexy. Most of us see something worse in the mirror than what we are in reality
doctorhook86 25
11: Working out is good advice, regardless of the specific problem. Proper exercise makes fat people thin, skinny people athletic and sexy, and has a strong tendency to improve confidence. Moles, funny nose, big feet, whatever: the OP will probably feel a lot better about her body with more exercise in her life.

thats so rude. she could be underweight, or have the perfect body. its just how she sees her self you asshole!!
doctorhook86 25
109: I read your comment in the voice of a spoiled 14-year-old girl and that made it funnier. Still downvoted you for sounding like spoiled 14-year-old girl though.

What if shes not even fat ? She may just be insecure . Watch what you say bro
dumboears 8
It doesn't work for all. I've been doing a healthier lifestyle for the past three months which includes regular exercise and I'm still very insecure even to the point where I'll avoid certain social scenes.
ComTlancy 12
FFS guys, exercise is good for your self-esteem regardless of body share and size.
yabbadabbadooyah 12
109, I don't see how you found what 74 said rude. Exercise is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle, and can boost confidence. When you work out you tend to feel good, especially if you've been doing lots of it. In my opinion it can boost your mental and physical state, which is a good thing, and by saying what 74 said, he told the truth in a way that was not offensive to the average person.
fatraptorjesus13 9
Why are people arguing against the fact that at least some form of exercise is healthy...oh America...put down the big Mac.
hottiewitdamesse 8
yeah of course, i totally get that and i agree, but when i read the comment, i took it as they're implying that shes fat, when she might not be. because if someone was underweight they could still feel incredibly self-consious, and working out wouldnt help. i didnt mean to upset so many people, its just how i understood it.
yabbadabbadooyah 12
When someone is underweight working out can be beneficial too, depending on the workout you do. Not all workouts are for weight loss, some can cause a increase in muscle mass, which for someone who is underweight is a good thing.
doctorhook86 25
133: Certainly exercise isn't the solution to every problem and insecurity, but it does have a strong tendency to help self-esteem and confidence in a general way. You'd be hard-pressed to find a doctor or mental health professional who wouldn't recommend exercise to patients/clients--but that doesn't mean exercise will cure every problem by itself. 160: Exercise is definitely good for underweight people, except that they should aim to build up rather than slim down. Unfortunately many girls get the stupid idea from the media that skeletons are sexy. In fact, most people are far more attracted to athletic-looking bodies, and on that basis, exercise is awesome.
hottiewitdamesse 8
yeah thats true, but i didnt mean in like muscle mass. my friend is a dancer and shes extremely muscular, but shes still 20 lbs underweight. but she also doesnt have to be either of those, she could still have a perfectly average body, and still feel horrible about it.

Chuck Norris was once faced insecurity...he stared it down until it cried.
TrueTriage 16
There once was a street named after chuck Norris but it had to be changed because no one crosses chuck Norris and lives
Shadowvoid 33
By my research, that lizard in your picture is an "Ameri-African house gecko. I find tens of these around my house. They are cute. And you live near me.
gracehi 33
Yes I find them a them lot too. This one is just a baby, and he crawled out of my cat's litter box while I was cleaning it. He didn't seem to be scared of me and he was very cooperative while I took this picture. I thought about keeping him as a pet, but I just put him outside instead. That's where he belongs. :)

To be entirely honest I don't think twelve year-olds even know who Chuck Norris is.

Aww sorry :( don't worry! It gets better!

Some guys do like to see shyness in a woman during sex. So it's not that bad.

Youll learn to accept yourself, i was insecure too then i realized i dont really give two ***** what someone else thinks of me. Good Luck.

4, Exactly! If Original Poster is this far down, she can only go up from here. It's kind of sad but, maybe, she will read all the reassuring comments on her post and start feeling better about herself.

Every one is beautiful in their own way. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. (:

EVERY one? How was Hitler beautiful on his own way o_O?

23- he probably thought he had a beautiful mustache, I mean think of it now...it's pretty iconic btw...I'm not trying to defend what hitler did or anything, don't get the wrong idea from what I'm saying
MURIKKA 11
23- One could say that he was a brilliant public speaker and a political genius. Like 38 said though, I'm not defending him or anything, just trying to prove a point.

23, I do nazi what Hitler has to do with any of this.

23- Hitler was actually a pretty good painter
UberNova 18
23 - Hitler was a great leader for Germany, regardless of the other things he did, Germany prospered under his rule which is why he was able to threaten europe, in his way his leadership could be considered beautiful.

Ouch. Have a couple of drinkypoos. Fix all problems

What the hell are drinkypoos?
SkoomaKi 28
I don't know what it is. But ask yourself, would you really want to know? It's probably something innocent, but you can't trust anything nowadays.
WiseGuy79 14
Trailer Park Boys reference... No poos involved haha

Thanks for clearing that up for them lol the shitbarometer was rising
isaiaah 6
That sucks op. Maybe one day you can get over it! And try and hit the gym every once and a while. The results make you feel good trust me.:)
Mideoyeo 12
Everyone who's assuming that OP is fat..just stop assuming so because not once in the fml does it say that she's shy because of her weight. Some people just have a shy nature!
isaiaah 6
She said her body, what else would that be? Her deformed leg? If that was the case I'm thinking he/she would have said so
kaitie311 1
She could have breakouts or moles that could make her insecure about her body. It doesn't have to be just being overweight. Not saying you're wrong but being overweight isn't always the case.
FranzFerdinand 18
16: She might not be fat, but exercise usually helps rather than hinders your appearance. It makes people feel accomplished and can boost self-esteem and morale, so even if OP isn't fat, it isn't bad advice unless they take it too far and start overworking themselves. OP, I know this is cliche, but nobody's perfect- why bother worrying about your flaws when you're bound to have some anyways? I'm sure there's someone out there that would like your body and would be willing to help you through your insecurities. Honestly, if you're really bothered you could consider seeing a therapist- even if you only have minor problems, they would take the time to help you out.

55, Body image issues is the simple answer to your question. You know, those skinny girls who insist they are fat? I'd be surprised if this was new information to you...

Learn to love your body! If you don't love it, who will?
MrSassypants 34
I know, right? I know no one would love my body and that is why I love it. Now someone loves it.... yay.....
