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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a guy was telling me how his girlfriend considers me a "perfect beauty." Not used to getting this sort of compliment every day, I felt extremely flattered… until he started explaining in great detail why he couldn't disagree with her more. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I'm beautiful. Before I could thank him, he continued, "Too bad it takes a shit-load of makeup." FML
Today, I was talking to this guy that I like a lot and I think he likes me back. When he told me I was beautiful I laughed so hard that I farted. Loudly. FML
Today, a cute guy complimented me on my legs. I, being the awkward person that I am, panicked and replied, "Thanks, I grew them myself." FML
Today, a man stopped me to tell me I was the most beautiful woman he'd seen all day. He promptly followed that up with: "Then again, you are the only woman I've seen today, so, it can only go up from here." FML
Today, I was at the gym, when a pretty overweight guy started staring and eventually taunting me. Let me tell you, lines such as "Lay off the cake, fatty!" and "I can see your gut hanging out your ass, for fuck's sake!" don't exactly boost one's self-confidence. FML
Today, a guy I like asked me to a dance. Trying to act modest and at the same time compliment him, I told him, "You could do so much better, though." After thinking for a moment, he replied, "You're right, I could. Never mind," and walked away. FML
Today, I was feeling unusually self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on makeup for the day. On my way to class, I passed some guys selling towels. One of them jeered, "Wanna be prettier? Buy a towel, and throw it over your face!" There goes my self-confidence. FML
Today, a cute guy ditched his date and walked up to me, calling me beautiful. Not knowing how to reply, I just blushed. His date got angry and left. "Sorry. I take that back," he then said. "I was just trying to get rid of her. Thanks anyway." FML
Today, a friend of mine commented that I "have a lot of confidence for a fat girl". Ummm... thanks? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He just showed how ugly inside he truly is. I'm sure you're beautiful inside and out, OP. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. But your inner beauty just accentuates your putter beauty even more! Stay strong and keep your head up!

Wow. I'm sorry. I'll never understand why people feel the need to be assholes to others like that.

I know this is difficult, but don't rely on what others think of you. Build yourself up with all that's positive about you and ignore the rest(including assholes like him). I promise it's a long road but it really pays off in the end :)

This guy is probably so miserable with himself he needs to put down others to make him feel less alone. don't sweat it, OP. You're a much better person than he is.

Self esteem is overrated.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Beauty can be skin deep and it also can be internal my favorite beauty is the internal because it's real it's heartfelt and genuine

Why people have to be so cruel is beyond me, it is really pathetic. Fact is 50% of people are below average looks. Doesn't mean they are not beautiful to someone or lots of others.
