Today, after reading more FMLs than I'd care to count, I think I've finally realised that the world isn't made up up of mostly competent and intelligent people. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized I don't have a family, I only have garbage people who have been sucking my time, my money, and my life from me. FML
Today, after being horribly treated and dumped by five men over a span of six years, I have finally come to the conclusion that I must be the problem. FML
Today, I realised I'm so used to being invisible that I prefer it now. Human interaction is overrated. FML
Today, I've come to accept that no matter how black-and-white an issue is, someone will always side with the obviously wrong point of view and take themselves 100% seriously while doing it. I don't want to live on this planet anymore. FML
Today, something bad happened and I posted an FML, only to have a caption with a judgemental comment thrown on the top by some desk jockey asshat. FML
Today, I realised that I live to work. I’m not even good at my job. FML
Today, my coworker was talking to me about how there's always that one person in a group of friends that everyone secretly dislikes and laughs at. I realized that that person is me. FML
Today, I realized that my social life is so dead that the only thing I do that involves other people is read FML. I don't even participate in the comments. FML
Today, I've come to accept that while my family claims to be supportive of my disabilities, they become completely ableist whenever they're the source of the problem, or if my problems otherwise have a direct effect on them. I have no real friends in this world. FML
Today, my coworker was talking to me about how there's always that one person in a group of friends that everyone secretly dislikes and laughs at. I realized that person is me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Had you somehow also not already discovered the rest of the internet?

I used to explain to my son that the world is not really like the movies or the news. It’s the extraordinary and unusual that make it to the screen. I believe that also applies to FML and the internet in general. People making good choices does not usually lead to drama and humor. The selection process makes the unusual, the stupid, and the downright cruel stand out in what we see and read. I still believe that most people do their best to make good choices; but I certainly agree there are some idiots, A-holes, and jerks out there that inspire a lot of FML’s. It’s also important to remember that be it FML, Dear Abby or whatever - Only one side is presenting the case and they have a very human tendency to try to make themselves look like the “good one” or the “victim”. I always try to read between the lines and try to understand what is likely to have really happened, not just the things OP has told us about. Many times OP was probably genuinely wronged, but sometimes they probably caused their own problems.
