Today, I found out that my entire family thinks I have no friends, am expressionless (to quote, "a robot") and that my monotonous voice hints at the suppressed depression hidden deep inside me. According to them, I need psychic evaluation. It all came out during a family reunion. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my family finally noticed my depression because of how quiet, down and uninterested I’ve been. They responded by harassing me for saying nothing, calling me names, and making fun of me. Hmm, I wonder why I’m depressed. FML
Today, I found out that my parents have always believed that every single time I have ever showed emotion, I was faking it and that I'm actually a sociopath with no feelings. I was kicked out of the theater department at my college for my poor acting skills, and they know it. 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 was hypnotized and talked into telling everyone truths about myself at a show my family and I went to. I don't know what I said. All I know is that my family laughs whenever I'm near them. They won't tell me what happened. FML
Today, I realized I rarely go outside anymore due to hyperacusis, social anxiety, depression, and sensory issues. I'm also afraid to tell my family and friends about my problems, because they don't understand how bad it really is. Looks like I'm doomed to be depressed and alone my whole life. FML
Today, I asked my friends what they thought was my biggest problem. All of them responded, "You're boring." I don't deny it, and I certainly did ask, but… Ouch. FML
Today, I found out I wasn't invited to the annual family reunion. The reason? Everyone thinks I'm "creepy" because I'm the only adult who will go out and play with the kids. FML
Today, my aunt informed me that she thinks I'm faking the debilitating disease I've had for the past 13 years. Apparently she thinks I just don't want to go to college or get a job, and that I like living on disability. She also added that my entire extended family agrees with her. FML
Today, I couldn't say a single sentence without being interrupted or having the conversation hijacked into a monologue of past grievances by family members against people they have issues with. And they wonder why I hide in my room all the time… FML
Today, I have no friends because I have severe anxiety and severe social anxiety. I thought I had family but as it turns out, my family is trying to get rid of me by sending me away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, maybe you do need a PSYCHIATRIC evaluation. They must be pretty worried about you to bring this up, or complete assholes, but for an entire family to agree hints at something deeper. What's the harm in some evaluation? £100, perhaps, but for your mental health, a small price to pay.

Agreed with number 1. If that many people all think there is a problem and their opinions are pretty in-line with each other, there may be an issue you can't see. Although, I don't see what a psychic could do for you, I'm pretty sure a psychiatrist might be able to help, lol.

get a couple of strippers and do some coke, acid and/or ecstasy before the next reunion. that will change everyone's perception of you for good

Well the rest of that reunion must have been akward... And physcics are complete bullshitters. Go see Dr. Phil. He's slightly more legit.

lol @ your family thinking they're Psychologists. Almost as bad as this one kid taking Psych 101 and suddenly thinking he's a fully qualified psychoanalyst. Just the other day he tried to relate my tendency to procrastinate my homework to latent homosexuality. ...then again, he thinks EVERYTHING is related to latent homosexuality.

(#43) And the a couple years from now people are gonna be reading an FML from you saying, "Today I realized that this kid in my Psych 101 class a couple years ago was right. My tendency to procrastinate my homework was related to latent homosexuality. FML."

@42 not all psychics are fake. Many yes, probably most, but not all.

Yes, ktbird, all phsycics are fake. Nobody has the abilty to magically talk to ghosts and read your mind. I am sorry to burst your bubble.

...Maybe he is a latent homosexual trying to repress his urges and hide his proclivities by projecting them on others? Seeing as he is forcing latent homsexuality where there is none, I'd wager he may have control issues too, and feels powerless in all aspects of life except for during the freedom his homosexual fantasies afford him. Yeah. Counter his psychobabble with that, and I doubt he'll try to psychoanalyze you any more.

Well? Are you a pyscho? go see a doc before you shoot people up.

@88: The last time I did that, he said that my trying to psychoanalyze his tendency to relate everything to latent homosexuality was a sign of latent homosexuality. Though now that I'm writing this all down, it could just be that he's ******* with us.

Congratulations on your first... It's a feat to accomplish such a thing AND type a lengthy, thought-out comment. Kudos to you, good sir.

ReyEr: Your lack of spelling acumen has actually made your statement mean the exact opposite of what you wished to say. It's a shame that you will not be able to appreciate the humor and irony in what you've accidentally done.

They should listen to Family Business by Kanye West... If you actually are "like a robot" then you should get some help, but it's not something to bring up at the family reunion

They're probably right but we'll never know without the psychic evaluation.

Similar to Dahmer? Cause my dog, Willy, used to eat other dogs. I don't know how he did, considering howvhe never left the house. Maybe he pooped them out..... But then again, that's what condoms are for, right?

Are you happy with your life? If yes, ignore them. If no, then yeah, you need help. Most people will answer, "Yeah, I guess, mostly." This is also an acceptable answer, and you don't need help if so.

maybe they want you to be depressed so that'll you'll join the family business and crash some planes into some towers

This is incredibly racist. Take that attitude elsewhere, and check your facts. Better yet, just don't talk.

Arabs don't have family reunions. Most of them are in training camp...........for their upcoming football season.

Mr_26: **** you, you racist asshole. There's no room for knuckle-draggers like you here. And besides, if you want to hate so much, at least do some reading. The Pakistanis weren't the ones who did that. Or were you just being bigoted against Muslims? Well, congratulations on showing yourself to be ******* stupid douche bag hater all the way around. I hope you choke to death on some Basmati rice. In case you didn't read me correctly before: **** YOU.

You obviously didn't lose someone you loved on September 11th. **** you, asshole.

Theirs seriously no harm in having a psychiatric evaluation done, as it's beneficial for yourself as well as the population of the rest of the world. We don't need another ******* sandnigger bombing another major city of the UNITED STATES.

Are you sure it was a family reunion and not an intervention? At any rate, listen to those around you, they might pick up on things that you brush off or ignore.
