Today, I finished reading a manga series on a website I go on all the time. As I read the last page I got a huge celebratory message from the website saying I was the first one to read every manga on their site. The website opened in 2011 and has over 30,000 manga. My God, I need a social life. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I checked this site to find out that my previous submission had made it onto the main page. This has been the sole highlight in my life for the past month. FML
Today, I enjoy reading this site and other people's suffering just to feel better about my own life. FML
Today, I realized that my social life is so dead that the only thing I do that involves other people is read FML. I don't even participate in the comments. FML
Today, I have been reading FML for 12 hours. FML
Today, while pensively thinking up my next awesome Facebook status over dinner, I finally came to the conclusion that I need to get a life. FML
Today, most of my day was spent repeatedly checking to see how well my Reddit posts have been performing as of late. I think I need to find a hobby. FML
Today, I have wasted so much time reading comments on this page that FML comments have become my favorite bedtime stories. FML
Today, I thought of this website for the first time in like 15 years. I wanted to laugh but now people just post actual sad shit. FML
Today, I realized I spend way too much time on the computer. I grabbed the menu at the restaurant, glanced at the page, and tried to do CTRL+F to find seafood. Geek coming through! FML
Today, I spent an hour deleting 70 of my status posts from the past week so I don't look so addicted to Facebook. Damn, I need a life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's... Sad. But strangely inspiring? There's a hell of a lot of manga I won't read so good on you...? God even manwha?! Some of those are terrible!

My god! I thought I was bad b/c I watched all of fairy tail in 3 months, but that's a whole other level.

Now, if only I could do that, but with scientific journal articles. Getting all the necessary sources for my thesis is driving me insane.

Who cares! It's your hobby and what you like to do. There's people who spend the same amount of time sitting and watching TV, or watching Sports, or doing nothing! If it's what interests you, do it! At least its a kind of reading, where watching TV is mindless.

I'm not a manga reader, but I've definitely been there. You could see it as a positive, you're a voracious reader, you have passions and interests and dedication to what you're interested in! Hopefully if you work on managing your time properly you'll be able to spin this tendency into a good thing. Buuut, if you're absorbing yourself so deeply in this series because you're searching for a way of escaping other things in your life (such as a lack of social life) maybe it will be better to redirect this energy in to tackling the issue head-on?

Being social is overrated. People suck.
