Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my self-esteem has gotten so low that when I was out walking my boss's dog and someone called out, "Beautiful!" I assumed they were talking about the dog. They had to clarify they were speaking about me. FML
Today, a friend of mine commented that I "have a lot of confidence for a fat girl". Ummm... thanks? FML
Today, I was feeling pretty down due to a recent back injury, so I thought I’d do something nice to help lift my spirits. I bought some cookies for my coworkers, who ended up not wanting any, and one of them decided to ask what was wrong with my face. Oh, right, my acne rosacea is flaring too. FML
Today, I was at a Chinese restaurant with my boyfriend and his family. After the meal, we all decided to open our fortune cookies and read them out loud. On mine, it said "You will change your mind many times before settling down." I didn't realize what it meant until after I'd read it to them. FML
Today, I was at a Chinese buffet, and I got a fortune cookie. I opened it, and it said, "The love of your life is sitting across from you". The only thing across from me was an empty chair. FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML
Today, a guy started complimenting me and calling me beautiful. Halfway through, he burst out laughing and said he couldn't do it. Who needs self confidence, anyway? FML
Today, my friend gave me a fortune cookie that said, "Don't be saddened by an upcoming event". Three hours later my girlfriend broke up with me because she said I was too superstitious. FML
Today a cute coworker asked me out to lunch but I said no because I know how unattractive I am, and didn't think he wanted to be seen with me. He got really pissed and told me that I needed to work on my self-esteem. I just blew up something that could have been wonderful. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not everyone can be a winner. Feel honored.

Buy a lifetime supply of fortune cookies, so whenever you're feeling sad, you get a compliment and a cookie c:

Take the advice from the cookie and have the attitude of a winner, because you are a winner OP, don't worry about what other people think of you. :)

Why does your info say that you try to ********** long words into a sentence?
GoW_Chick 15
... because that is what they decided to write in their info.

I think it's supposed to be a joke... It's like saying he just throws random long words into sentences. '**********' being the long word here... Or it could be a type-o, who knows?

He likes to throw big words in a sentence every once in a while even if they don't fit or make sense in that particular sentence... Like **********... When u splurge... It goes every where randomly lol

SecretMe00 5
I didn't say it was a big word... I said like **********..... Like when u ********** u splurge ... I was just explaining how he "splurges" big words through-out his sentences. Make sense now turbo?

Having low self-esteem doesn't make you a winner anyway, so don't worry about it.

You're an idiot.

My Fortune Cookie punched me in the face. Such a weird name for a stripper.

It's a typo. The first 'n' was supposed to be an 'e'.

I know some people who have low self-esteem, and they would never actually admit it.
