Today, I was feeling terrible and posted on Facebook about how I was stressed out and feeling really lonely. My sister replied saying "#fatfuckproblems". 13 people liked it and some so-called friends posted stuff like "rekt" and "SLAYED, bitch!", all in less than a minute. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a guy who I hate commented on my Facebook profile picture that I "look like I've fallen off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." Sixty people liked this, including my boyfriend and my best friend. FML
Today, I was together with a few of my friends when I got up the courage to confess I have an eating disorder. One of my friends then said "... but you're not skinny." FML
Today, I was insulted and harassed by my sister and her boyfriend, all because I proposed yesterday. They were angry I might get married before they did. They have known each other since primary school; I met my fiancée earlier this year. FML
Today, I got in a huge fight with my mom, so I went to my room and locked myself in there and played loud music so I didn't have to hear her. She then started yelling at me on Facebook, so I logged out of Facebook. She then started yelling at me on Yahoo. Damn technology. FML
Today, I realized the sweet, sensitive girl I was talking to on a dating site was actually my brother trolling me for fun. FML
Today, my life became a lot more depressing. A while ago, some friends and I founded a "Forever Alone" club, because all of us were single at that time. I'm now the only member left. FML
Today, someone gave me a note to pass along to a girl in class. The note had the girl's name surrounded by hearts. When I gave it to her, she assumed it was a love note from me, and said, "Not in a million years, fat ass!" before I could say it was from someone else. FML
Today, my family went on vacation. I had to stay home to take care of everyone's animals. I called my mom, who said she was too busy to talk to me. When my sister asked her who was on the phone, she replied, "The dog sitter." FML
Today, a colleague found out that I struggled with anorexia when young. After ranting about how it's a silly 'Women's disease', he renamed me 'Miss Piggy' and made oinking noises every time I ate something. FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, I'm sorry. It amazes me how cruel some people can be. I hope you find someone you can talk to, OP. Hang in there.

That was extremely rude, especially from someone like your sister who is supposed to help you when you're feeling down

I'm from Australia and we call friends, c**ts as well as a lot of other bad stuff but don't really get offended. We have a weird sense of humour here

I'm from Australia too and calling someone a fat **** is still pretty offensive.

If you actually want positive attention, how about you call up a friend and talk to them about it. Instead seeking attention on facebook?
PennyLane27 32
OP, try this: Try Only posting positive posts. If you type it out, and it's negative, then delete, and instead make yourself post something positive, no matter how small of an observance. It's hard at first. It might feel forced at first. But it's a small way toward helping shift your overall perspective. And Please please please don't worry about likes and comments. They are meaningless. They have no value. Social media attention is meaningless. Seriously. When you're 90 you aren't going to look back on life and think "man I got so many fb comments/likes, I feel so fulfilled." You're going to think back on real world, tangible memories.

Sounds like OP doesn't have many real friends in the first place.
Fairyjoshy 13
Likes and comments tend to come from real live human beings, and it's a human attitude to desire the approval of your fellow human beings. Sounds like OP's sister is a bully and one of the "cool kids" and the OP's so-called friends jumped on the bandwagon.

I agree social media isn't the best place, though i don't understand why people can't just ignore and scroll past when seeing it. It took extra time just to kick someone while they're down, that says a lot about a person.

You can't say people should NEVER post anything remotely negative, that's just as bad. That's why people see people's fake Facebook lives full of glamorous selfies and parties ans holidays and feel inferior. There is a difference between posting negative attention seeking posts every 10 minutes and someone who usually seems happy or just doesn't post that much making a one-off, honest, negative post. True friends (or just decent humans) should be able to tell the difference.

Well, realistically, negative shit is going to happen to everyone. If you feel some type of way, you just do. I'm actually NOT a fan of people who make infinite posts about all this supposedly "awesome" (but entirely mundane) shit that is going on in their lives (e.g., "My wife drew a smiley face onto some cardboard! She is my world and is the best wife in the universe!"). It's *social* media for a reason. Obviously, you don't want to have a Wall of Shame, but ... express yourself freely.

You're literally the kind of person that someone like OP needs the least, next to those like OP's sister.
kayayye 22
sorry to hear that OP. you should get new friends who are nicer.

Embrace yourself for who you are! And be grateful you're not like your sister!! *hugs* from the FML community :)

In the movie "THE MINIONS" There is a very relevant comment about these type of people who don't sympathize. it says....."If people don't like you, just fart"
MrsReed 14
Sounds like a good philosophy to me!

And this boys and girls is why you don't seek attention on Facebook.
LPac5295 27
Do people know how to take things seriously anymore? Clearly you were reaching out for help and they all make fun of you like that? You can find better friends OP and I would have a serious talk with your sister.

Top comments say it all... On one hand, don't be the facebook attention seeker. On the other, holy shit your sister is an asshole!
