Today, after spending weeks working on a song that meant a lot to me, I reluctantly posted it online. The "friend" who'd convinced me to post it, commented, "This is the worst shit I've ever heard." He got 30 likes, along with a barrage of agreeing, equally terrible comments. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally worked up the courage to play my friends the demo CD that I've spent all summer recording. I didn't tell them it was me. Not even 10 seconds into the first song, my best friend asked me to turn it off because it sucked. FML
Today, I uploaded what I thought were beautiful selfies. One of my "friends" commented, "I've seen what your whole body looks like, so that's why you take only headshots. You're not fooling anybody, fatty." His comment got 18 likes. I took down the photos and spent the rest of my afternoon in tears. FML
Today, I uploaded the first chapter of my best writing yet to a popular writing website. After ten minutes, I was thrilled to already see one review and five comments. Each comment was telling me to immediately delete the story because of how horrible it was. The rating was half a star. FML
Today, some idiot kid teased and taunted me for weeping on my "already bad performance", recording it on his phone threatening to put it on social media. I was singing and playing the guitar, in front of my childhood sweetheart, and supposedly soon-to-be wife's grave. It was our song. I do this every year on this day. FML
Today, a friend thought it would be funny to make a R.I.P. page for me on Facebook. Most liked post? "Too bad this page is fake." FML
Today, I worked up the courage to confess my feelings to this girl I'm crazy about. I even wrote and recorded a song for her. Instead of listening to it, she gave it to her ex-boyfriend, who responded to my heartfelt words by headbutting me. FML
Today, I phoned my ex, who I only broke up with a week ago. I then told her about the song I'd written about her. I have written a song, but it's shite and I would die of embarrassment if I ever had to play it to her. I’ll have to play it to her and confess my simpy, wet ways. FML
Today, I wrote a Facebook post venting about the horrible things I've been going through lately, hoping my friends would console me. I discovered that my English teacher from 30 years ago, the creepy dude who keeps asking me out, and some random chick I don't even know are my only "friends." FML
Today, a DJ friend of mine offered me a part in one of his tracks. I was flattered, and accepted. All I ended up singing was, "I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch" over and over again in the background. FML
Today, a friend sent me a song. I didn't have time to listen to it all, so I listened to the first 30 seconds of it to get a feel for it. It was nice and uplifting, so I sent it to my mom. Turns out, after the first 30 seconds, the singer brightens his day by singing about his enormous penis. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your friend is an ass.

This is why you should always trust your own better judgement. Especially of your supposed friends are such asshats.

Send it to Justin Bieber. It will still be the worst shit anyone's ever heard, but at least it will be on the radio all the time and you'll get rich.

Post more. Who cares what they say? You liked your song, right? You worked hard on it, right? It can't be that bad then. Keep posting them, don't give up.

Some people try their hardest at humor, yet they're just not funny; at the their very best, maybe just garner a few chuckles from the audience. It takes years to develop and streamline a good act, or it may be shorter, depending on how experienced and lucky the writer is. Sometimes, no matter how hard a guy tries to form it, change it, time it, it just flops. Just look at the movie Gigli. A-list actors, director's a household name… worst movie of all time. There is such a thing as constructive criticism. "This is the shittiest shit my eyes have ever had the misfortune to read," And stopping right there is obviously not. OP's song may just be that – garbage, but it would need some work done on since it received such a negative reception.

I know this may sound silly but the movie monsters university is pretty much all about this. (I watched it becuase i was helping a friend babysit.) Mike works his whole childhood and gives up his social life just to study to be a scarer, but the problem is, he isn't scary.

#54 - No need to justify seeing it, it is a great movie, any way you cut it!

well at least you know you suck at singing like most of us :) I just turn the music up really loud n sing so it makes me think I'm singing exactly like the actual singer

wow, rude. I bet OP's voice isn't even half-bad. by the way, I figured this out on my own - if you want to get better at singing, you have to turn the volume DOWN so you can hear yourself and improve upon your voice. if you can't hear yourself, you'll never know what you're doing wrong.

Perhaps he doesn't understand the importance of the song. Perhaps he is a douche.
