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

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!

There is no excuse for cruelty, ever. I'm sorry that you had to endure this and sincerely hope that you took none of it to heart. True beauty cannot be seen with the eyes.

Who cares about assholes like them.

I think you're beautiful, OP.

Being a decent human being calls for not leading others on with a lie. I'm sorry you had to deal with that OP. However, the best practice is to not care about his opinion.

How can you know she's beautiful? Maybe the guy could not lie to her. It's not important to be beautiful on the outside because the one true love, will love us for who we are. If you're ugly, you eliminate the chance of someone just want to use you as an "accessory".

That's not necessarily true. People that are ugly or believe themselves to be ugly, such as girls and especially those with lower self-esteem in the looks department, tend to be targeted since they're usually nicer and easier to manipulate and/or take advantage of. One of my former best friends is a great example of this.

Everyone is beautiful to someone. Just because you don't find someone attractive doesn't mean they are not beautiful, that's our point. There's someone who will find you beautiful somewhere in this world.

What an idiot! I hope you didn't take that to heart. Always know and tell yourself that you are a beautiful and wonderful person inside and outside. It's nice to get genuine compliments but know you don't need validation from anyone anyway. When you know your own beauty and worth no one can bring you down especially with stupidity. Keep shining.
