Today, I realized that I lie to my friends online and go "offline" for hours at a time so it appears that I have a life outside of the internet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I purposely went offline on Facebook chat, just so people would think I actually have a life. FML
Today, I lied and told my friends I was a compulsive liar. Well, I think I lied. FML
Today, I decided not to go on Facebook so people would actually think that I have a life. FML
Today, I found myself lying to my diary. FML
Today, I had to lie to my boyfriend about having plans on tonight so he'd think I had a life outside of him. All my "friends" are going to a party. I'm not invited. 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've discovered that it's hard to convince your friend that your Internet won't stop randomly shutting off when he's trying to have a serious conversation with you. I'm actually not lying, but he thinks I'm trying to ignore him. FML
Today, I had to admit that I'm polyamorous. Well, I'm in several relationships. Parasocial relationships. With YouTubers and Twitch streamers. I talk to them through the screen. I can't remember what it's like to have real-life friends. FML
Today, I realized that I hate lying to my mom about having a boyfriend. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Haha dude... do NOT feel bad. Seriously. I do that all the time except with my real life friends because I love my internet friends better. I would much rather live in a virtual world then in one where people can judge you because your fat and lazy and you work at taco bell and your hobbies are eating, farting, and smelling wet dogs. Seriously, wet dogs smelll sooo good.

It's completely normal. Don't feel bad. Everyone wants to seem cool. I do. Everyone does. And don't worry at all about what your online friends think. They like you so feel free to be on whenever you want.

Stop complaining. You made your own life choices.

If you are off-line any way, why not go out and have a life? It would not be a lie any longer. What are you doing instead; logging on as someone else?
