Today, after finding out that I would never be able to move my dominant arm again, I decided to talk to my best friend about it because it was getting to me. She responded with, "It really bugs me that you made this conversation all about you." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after my therapist told me I should open up to my friends more, I sent a message to a pen-pal and told her that I had asked for and found help with my postpartum troubles. She replied that I'm a bad friend for "always burdening her with my problems." FML
Today, my friend needed to talk out bad feelings. Then she urged me to open up as well. I hate doing it, but it only seemed fair, so I confessed my deep insecurities. Not only did she agree with everything, but she also helpfully added that I'm boring, have no life, and all my dreams are unattainable. FML
Today, I finally shared some of my insecurities and difficulties I’m experiencing with a close friend. The response was great, they listened, and gave advice. Later I met another friend, who said that they’re here for me. Everyone was just trying to help, but now almost everyone I know knows. I feel worse than before. FML
Today, I had to have a very difficult and awkward conversation with my best friend about her fiancé hitting on me. She seemed completely unfazed and ended up admitting that a three-way with me was actually her idea, but she didn't want to "weird me out" by asking me about it. FML
Today, I was talking to my best friend about how much of an asshole my ex-boyfriend is. After about 2 hours of non-stop bitching, it turns out she's actually dating him. FML
Today, while I was explaining my troubles to my therapist, he asked me, "And don't you have someone you can tell all that?" FML
Today, I told my girlfriend about a huge fight I had with my female best friend. This friend no longer wants anything to do with me, and I was obviously upset about it. Instead of being supportive, all my girlfriend said was, "Well maybe now you'll shut the fuck up about her for once." FML
Today, I was complaining to my friend how I was doing all the work in my group, and that they were getting all the credit. Her response? "It's OK, you're doing a shitty job anyway." FML
Today, my friend, knowing my mental health is really bad right now, decided to yell out the fact I have an eating disorder, and how she never sees me eat ever, then started to talk about self-harm and how she would never do it despite what she has gone through. All while side-eyeing me when talking to other people. FML
Today, after feeling like I've been sucking as a friend and contacting a friend who has called me their best friend, but doesn't talk to me much, we grabbed a coffee. The whole time I was trying to have a conversation, she was on her phone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Drop the 'best' part. Actually, drop the 'friend' part.

Well, I mean, you are kinda venting to her about your personal issue, so basically you are talking to her about yourself. She should be more of an understanding friend. And respectful.

Maybe your friend is willing to help you with some tasks your dominant hand was responsible for in the past? ;)

If she is really a friend she would listen to OP's problems

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
masturbating with your non-dominant arm feels better, so there's a pro in this situation.

This got way weirder than it should have.

It really bugs me when people are so insensitive :/
GigaPudding_fml 24
I do agree that the comment was insensitive and rude but seeing how the friend chose to say it, I'm under the impression the friend was talking about really important first. Like: "My grandma died" "Yeah my arm did too"

Swap 'best' with '*******' and 'friend' with '****'. That's probably more fitting.

AWWW, did she lose feeling in her dominant arm too? :(

Your friend is an asshat.

Time to practice b***h- slapping with your new pimp hand. Kidding. Maybe.

Or a salted dickweed.

What kind of best friend is that. I guess she isn't the listening type. Either way, she's a bitch for even saying that after what happened to your arm.
Featherwind 11
That was very rude and insensitive of her. Maybe it is time for you to find some new friends OP. Sorry about your predicament! FYL

Why don't you swing your dead arm into her throat. She may be more willing to discuss your issue then.

I can picture that... Hahahah

Maybe she's going through a rough patch as well? Either way, she should've listened to you.

That doesn't really sound like a friend to me, OP. I can't imagine just how bad it must feel to never use your dominant arm along with all the other complications that go with it. I wouldn't go to her for support anymore if I were you.

at least when you ********** it will feel like a stranger now.

But he can't even move it. -_-
happylappy 21
Yes he can. He said dominant. Meaning dominant out of the two. If he both couldn't move both he probably would of worded it differently.
flockz 20
it never said he couldn't move his less dominant hand. my comment implies using the other arm.
MrClean17 15
20 if OP couldn't have moved either hand the fact he typed the FML is pretty impressive

21 - How would that feel like someone else was doing it if he uses his good arm? I still think you meant to use his non-working arm and are trying to salvage your comment.

Go google 'friendly stranger masturbation' and then you'll understand.

Op said nothing about whether he can still feel with that arm, only that he can't move it...
