Today, I bought a friendship bracelet. I'm not sure what's sadder, the fact that I don't actually have a friend to give the other half to, or that I'm actually wearing one of them so it looks like I have friends. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I visited a friend’s house. He has a vast collection of Cartier bracelets. Being strapped for cash and starving, I stole one of them when he wasn’t looking, thinking he wouldn’t notice one missing. I went to pawn the bracelet. It’s fake. Rent’s due tomorrow. FML
Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML
Today, my friends and I were going to do an ugly sweater photo shoot. When we met up, one of them was wearing a sweater I gave on her birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The present I received from my best friend was the exact same necklace which I gave to her for her birthday two months ago. It had been unwrapped and re-wrapped in the same paper. FML
Today, I signed my own plaster-cast to make people believe that I actually have friends. FML
Today, I bought an "I love my boyfriend" t-shirt so people wouldn't think I'm single. I'm very single. FML
Today, I found out that my ex gifted a special handcrafted necklace I made for him to his new girlfriend. She wears it on all her socials. FML
Today, I realised that every morning my girlfriend gets me to help her put on a locket her ex-boyfriend bought her on Valentine's Day. FML
Today, I was so lonely, I tried to hold hands with plastic "horror hand" I bought for Halloween. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend, who is buying me a ring for my birthday, is buying my best friend a ring that cost 10 times more than mine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Think of your bracelet as like a hope chest. You're saving the other half for the right friend!

When I was a kid, I won a "best friends" watch set at the arcade. As I was there with family (and didn't really have any friends), I couldn't decide which one I preferred, so I wore one on each arm. One watch said "Best" and the other said "Friends". My sister was incredibly mean about it, but I felt super cool having two watches. After that my mum bought me a nice watch which I still have. Now I don't like having things on my wrist so I haven't worn a watch in at least 10 years. Leave them on the side and pretend they are from two different people. ;)

wear them both so you can become your own friend.

Don't give up hope, for some people making friends takes a lot of effort and hard work, but it's worth it because it means the friendships you form with the people who are patient enough with your slow friendmaking skills will be extra valuable to you! And those people generally tend to be super lovely.

Why would you buy a friendship bracelet if you don't have any friends?

My best advice for making friends is just joining a club or a group like scouting, dancing, drama, dungeon and dragons - anything. You will meet people, you will make friends just by being there. Seriously I cannot advise this enough, join a club or society - just give it a go. If it doesn't work out, try a different one maybe.

It'll be okay! Join some clubs. Find people. There's other lonely people out there too! Believe me!

You can always give the other half to a family member. Once I got older I realized my mom is the best friend I ever had, and many others feel the same. There is no shame in that!

It's sadder that you wasted money on a trinket when you could have used it to rent a friend.

It's even sadder when one tries to be humorous and fails miserably, #12.
