Today, I realized I've been sinking into a deep depression, ignoring all my friends, and don't know what to do with my life anymore. This is all because I gave up Facebook for lent. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, Facebook stopped working and I realized how emotionally dependent I am on social media. FML
Today, I kept restarting my internet, wondering why I wasn't receiving any messages from my friends. Then I realized they were all ignoring me. FML
Today, I decided not to go on Facebook so people would actually think that I have a life. 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
Today, I realised that my social anxiety, fear of people's judgment, social isolation, you name it, have got so bad that I literally have no interests. It got to such a point that I even have nothing to search up in the internet, so I just stare at an empty browser page wondering what should I do with my life. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I'm now afraid to add people on Facebook. 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, after growing tired of my friends group leaving me behind every time and having secrets between them, I started to ignore them and stopped following them, without saying anything. They haven't spoken to me since, and it's been 7 months. I'm alone. FML
Today, I decided that after three days, I had to cut short my hiatus from social media. I saw a correlation between that and my anxiety going through the roof, causing my work performance to suffer. I’m so addicted to social media that in my off time, I think I was having withdrawal symptoms. FML
Today, I was feeling really down and decided to text a friend to vent to someone about it. Then I realized, I don’t have any friends. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for two reasons. First: you rely too heavily on facebook for social interaction and second: you practice lent.

Agreed.

Many people practice lent.

Agreed, mostly with the latter. Nothing wrong with having beliefs, I guess, but why would you practice lent? I don't get it. I don't think Jesus would want you to give up your commodities. You want to practice lent? Make a sacrifice and give up something important. "Herpderp I'm such a good christian I'ma give up facebook! That shows god i love him herpderp!" I don't agree with lent, but giving up Facebook or video games seems more insulting to the idea than not giving anything up at all.

68 - Lent is about giving up something important to you. It's about making a sacrifice. The importance of that sacrifice may not be the same for everyone. Don't disrespect someone else's beliefs simply because you do not believe in the same thing.

68 I agree with freedom of speech but you are an idiot. the point of lent is self control and giving up something just like jesus sacrificed. it doesn't have to be as major as what Jesus did ( obviously )

first christians dont practice lent catholics do.....second well i dont hae anything else but i staryed wih first haha
ooooooooooooh 4
202 - actually a lot of denominations of christianity practice lent, not just Catholics. Also, lent is about giving something up that is a big part of your life, most people give up something to do with food because it seems right.

162- I'm far from an idiot, you just disagree with my views and choose that as a response, possibly in hopes of offending me. Bravo on your first point. Secondly, as an agnostic raised Catholic, I was taught that lent was about giving up something important and show, through prayer, that you're grateful for what Jesus gave up for you. Now, does facebook seem important? If you're gonna give up something not important, it's not quite what it was expected to be, is it? Of course, OP does seem to have made facebook an important part of his/her(don't wanna check) life, but that doesn't make it less offensive to the idea, in my opinion. Seems like a joke to give up social networking for lent, at least to me, and if i were a Christian, I wouldn't want to laugh at my traditions. I remember when I was 13 and gave up video games for lent.. My very religious grandmother thought that was blasphemous(correct usage?). She freaked. Very amusing now, since I see her point. You can disagree with my opinion all you want, that's fine, but having an opinion that differs from yours does not make me an idiot. Calling me an idiot for this, however, might make you seem like an intolerant, idiotic bigot yourself. 202- Catholics are Christians.. They believe in Christ.. But if you wanna stick to the argument that they're not, which is fine since it's a very wide belief.. Then you should know that a few Christian denominations also practice lent: I'd love to give an example, but I'm drawing a blank.. I think methodists are one of them. I wonder how long till this FML is gone.

202 Catholics are definitely Catholics but I wouldn't blame someone your age for not knowing that. Stop listening to your ignorant church.

444, you're right. Catholic does equal Catholic. What you don't seem to understand is that religion is not that simple to define. Christianity itself is split into three main branches (and many more from each of those). Those branches are Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. 237, just for an FYI. You are correct in thinking that there are many non-Catholic religions that practice Lent. Methodists are one of the groups, as are Episcopalians, Lutherans, and Presbyterians.

There are so many varying views on Christianity because everyone interprets the texts differently. Seems funny that they all pray for the truth and get such varying answers; either god is trolling them or he doesn't exist.
