Today, I told my parents that I wasn't feeling very social and up for company. How do they try to make me feel better? By inviting a whole bunch of people I don't know to a pool party at my house. They said I should face my fears. I'm now in my room, hiding. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents had my little sister's birthday pool party at our house. My mom decided to tell all the guests that the pool was "just for decoration" and nobody would actually be allowed to swim in it. Cue a million screaming tantrums and my parents and even me receiving tons of hate. FML
Today, I was at a really big party and everyone was showing off by flipping into the pool one by one. When it was my go, I attempted a back flip, cracked my head open on the side of the pool, and was rushed to hospital. Now everyone hates me cause the party was forced to shut down. FML
Today, I overheard my parents discussing whether or not they could trust me being alone in the house for 2 days. They then came to the decision that I'm too unpopular and unattractive to ever throw a wild party or get laid. FML
Today, I found out that when my friends say they're too busy to hang out with me, what they really mean is that they're going to have an awesome pool party, and don't want me to come. The Instagram stories say it all. FML
Today, I told my mom I was going swimming with friends. She told me, in front of them, not to go into the deep end unless there was an adult around because I'm not old enough to swim on my own. I'm 19. FML
Today, my dad had a go at me because he thought I was embarrassed by him and that was why I never invited any of my friends over. I was too embarrassed to tell him it's actually because I don't have any friends to invite over. FML
Today, my mother asked me why I disliked her and my father's nakedness in the family pool. FML
Today, I've invited friends and family to my birthday party. I've also come home to find that my parents didn't pay the water bill. I either have to tell everyone I know that they are uninvited or not to take dumps in my house. FML
Today, I laid in bed until 3am kept up by a house party. In my own house. Which my housemates didn't invite me to. FML
Today, I learned that my parents know that I have no friends when they told me to go and make some. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your parents make no sense. You simply said you don't feel like company, not that you have a social phobia. Not that having a raucous pool party would be a good way to force your child to get over their social phobia anyway.

Suck it up

do the words mental health disorder mean nothing to you? 'suck it up' isn't the best advice to give someone, that's like telling someone with a physical disorder to just 'Shake it off'

Some people don't like being social. I feel the OPs pain. I am like that sometimes. You're right, you can't avoid everyone and that's why social phobias are so hard to deal with. Some people can't just get over it, for example people on the autism spectrum.

I have dissociative psychosis so being around people is painful, I can go weeks without ever leaving the house and having little to no contact with a person IRL, so yeah I probably could avoid everyone physically.

I agree with 81. I sure as hell don't need constant company, nor would I mind living and dying alone.

Well, they were trying to help. And the best way to get rid of your fears is to face them. I don't see the FML. They did the right thing.

when I tell my parents I'm not feeling up to company they listen and comply now because the last time, they did something similar to what OP's parents did I ended up with a tour of the nearest psych ward for almost stabbing our neighbour.

I could very happily live my life online with little to no contact with the out side world, it would definitely keep my psychosis in check
