Today, I was trolling on a My Little Pony forum. I was midway through typing a big post, calling them all a bunch of attention-seeking losers who act like morons because their parents never loved them, when I broke down in tears, realizing I'd just perfectly described myself. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was trolling in a chat room when someone said, quote, "He's just a no-life, unemployed loser still living in his mom's basement. Probably spends all day stroking his tiny dong and fantasizing about having a real girlfriend." I actually started crying because it was so accurate. FML
Today, I finally accepted I need help with my anxiety issues. I started small and I joined a support forum and wrote a post. I was quickly called a troll by multiple users, accused of faking it, and told to "fuck off back to Tumblr" because they wouldn't believe my anxiety is really so serious. FML
Today, I was really stressed, so I tried to let it out by crying. It lasted about 30 seconds, and I was making fun of myself the whole time. Even my subconscious thinks I'm pathetic. FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, I was reading a blog post by a girl that I really like. In the post, it said, "I know I'm not beautiful." I told her that I thought it wasn't true at all. She responded by crying hysterically and asking me why I would say that. It turned out that it actually said, "I know I'm beautiful." FML
Today, I realized I shouldn't have confessed anonymously to my long time crush through an anonymous account. I was so happy that they noticed me a little and made posts that seems directed to me, but then they just stopped. I'm so sad and craving their attention that I'm getting upset when I shouldn't be. FML
Today, I approached my mother for comfort, because I've been feeling depressed and unloved by anyone lately. She replied, “Honestly, I stopped loving you back when you were a toddler.” FML
Today, I found out the hard way that everyone in my dorm knows I watch My Little Pony. FML
Today, I went down a four-hour YouTube rabbit hole trying to understand the Onision drama. I finally snapped out if it, thinking, "I don't care about any of this. What am I doing with my life?" FML
Today, I was sitting with a group of people at lunch. I was having a bad day, so I began venting to them. Eventually, they got tired of it and banned me from the table, because my "depressing mindset" reminds them of their trauma. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just because they don't like what you or I like doesn't mean that their parents didn't love them, it means they like a fandom. I like Dr. Who does that make me an attention seeking loser?

Definitely haha. Being on a MLP forum doesn't quite warrant that treatment.

Well I'm glad you had that epiphany to be honest. Most people can't see what's right on front of them.

"I was trolling..." -- automagic YDI.

OP is the reason people commit suicide; they're too afraid to express themselves in person so they go somewhere they will be accepted and you "troll" on their site to make fun! YDI.

Everyone has money for the gym! Get a better physique everyone will give attention you! And plus it's self betterment & improvement.

I agree that op deserves it, but i will never understand why people likede mlp... from what I have heard, the majority of its fanbase is middle aged men that do acid??? I read this on another fml about mlp
RageWolf16 31
That's a rather ignorant statement, #114. The vast majority of people who watch MLP are young girls, because that's the target audience. The people that get all the hate, though, are men in their teens and twenties, not middle-aged. "On acid" is a very extreme and rude assumption. Why do men have to be taking drugs to enjoy a tv show? Let them be.

Anyone who purposely goes out of their way to abuse, harass, embarrass or terrorize another person does so because they are in fact miserable with their own life and must attack others to make themselves feel better. YDI.
Andicc 19
Wtf does going to the gym have anything to do with this? You could have a perfect body and be one of the most attractive people on earth and still be miserable with yourself. Not everything is about looks.
Juggalette_623 9
Good thing you were in a mlp forum op. We will love and tolerate the shit outta you.

116, what's with the rant? Didn't you read 115's comment. He explained where he got his information. He has been misinformed, not ignorant. You are the rude one here.

Backtracking a second, OP is not the reason people commit suicide (#39). People commit suicide because they're not mentally stable, and usually don't get very much constructive help about it, and often it's a result of their stupid actions (Amanda Todd for example). If you're getting abused online, grow the **** up and get over it, and if you're going to kill yourself, anything could provoke that. Anyway, trolling is meant to be for humorous purposes. It's a common misconception that trolling is just the spewing of abuse in the face of someone who doesn't deserve it - it's stirring up discord just to aggravate people over something petty for the joy of watching people act like offended children. Sending death threats to feminists, however, is not trolling; there's a fine line that is often forgotten. OP's comments (assuming it was a brony-populated forum) were trolling, because immature men would get ridiculously offended and butthurt about it. If you think trolling is pointless and stupid, that's different, but it gets completely blown out of proportion.

Wow. This is a perfect storm of YLS (FML) and YDI
thecrazymancan 17
You do realize people commit suicide for other reasons right?

When trolling bites you in the ass

It needs to happen more often, the internet would be a better place

pretty sure anything following "today, i was trolling" = immediate YDI. example: Today, I was trolling on the intermet when my brother hit me with a bat.

Just because they don't like what you or I like doesn't mean that their parents didn't love them, it means they like a fandom. I like Dr. Who does that make me an attention seeking loser?
Yeshua_fml 19
According to OP, yes, yes it does.
JoshTheTacoMan 19
A fellow Whovian on FML!
LordMarshall41 10
Well, the difference there is that Dr. Who wasn't made for girls under the age of 12.
JustCallMeMoss 5
yeah what 77 said theres a difference between watching a sci fi meant for teenagers and up and watching a little girls tv show about magic horses
CrikOgresmasher 19
Actually, Doctor Who was originally intended for kids
SweetJTBR 22
Both the Doctor and the pones are fun to me. Allons-y~!
GraceyBlueEyes 13
I find it strange how doctor who fans use "dr. who". I used too also but as far as I understand it's incorrect.
CrikOgresmasher 19
Fan-TAS-tic!

#77 and #86: Who cares? Are these guys bothering you? No. Are they hurting people? No. Are they minding their own business and enjoying a show that's actually pretty good? Yeah! Whether you like or watch the show is an opinion and a choice, but never judge or insult people who are simply going about their lives. It's just rude.
the_zero_article 15
Actually, if you've ever been to any anime conventions, it's often self identified "bronies" that are offering hypersexualized MLP merchandise, which at the very least a tad unsettling, especially considering that it's a show for 6-10 year olds
Nuparu_Mercer 5
No it does not, it makes you one of us, a Whovian
buckeyed 20
117, actually, yes the culture hurts some people. Not me personally but when older men make young girls feel uncomfortable or that they don't belong in a fandom intended for them, then there is an issue. (You can read up on these things, like at cons or the way bronies try to control the show).
Lomus 24
If it was a man obsessed with the Tweenies, or Teletubbies, or any other show for six-year-olds, it's creepy. Full stop. Doctor Who is a family-oriented show (granted, originally an educational show for young kids, but anyone who's seen those early episodes would agree they can get quite dark), so it's fine if anyone wants to watch it.

@86 At the risk of starting a TV war, what about sponge bob? Lots of adults watch sponge bob, but it was (originally?) a kids show. The thing is, lots of kid shows have subliminally adult topics buried in them. Kids don't usually see it, but adults do. I'm speculating that this is how the fandom develops? Thoughts??? Here are a few more... Teletubbies Ren and Stimpy Pee wee's playhouse
Lomus 24
You have a point, but adult Spongebob fans generally take the stance of "this is a kids' show, I remember watching this as a kid", rather than "too many kids watch this show, the writers cater to them, not the real, immature older fans".
thecrazymancan 17
Yes and Legos were made for children from 9 to 14. Just because something was originally made for one age group doesn't mean other age groups can't enjoy it.

"Takes one to know one" has some merit to it after all.

awh! you can be a brony now too! :) cheer up buttercup. ♡☆

YDI for being an attention-seeking loser who act like a moron because your parents never loved you.
aireeahna 23
that's what you get for going on those kinds of sites!

Thats such a waste of time. Why dont you try and do something that makes you happy instead of putting others down for what makes them happy.
Ilikepie467 10
What if it usually makes him happy?
Vnzou22 9
If putting others down is what usually makes OP happy then thats very sad.
slyde32 12
there's a lot of people around who find happiness in putting others down, unfortunately

if society doesn't find something odd about grown men becoming sexually aroused by animated pony cartoons meant for little girls, then we must be too sensitive these days
dawnimus 21
I'm pretty sure it's a tiny minority of MLP fans that get sexually aroused by the show, most people just watch it because it's a TV show they like.
mike7800 8
I guess that would explain the sex toys then. because if a lot of people don't like something companies invest in it and sell it right ?
pazuzus_intern 10
141 my little pony is hardly the first thing that was meant for kids that is oversexualized nor is it the first kids show to make it into the sex toy and pornography market. We live in a world with a wide variety of fetishes, some of them MUCH weirder than this and harmful to others, which I imagine is what society is worried about. LIKE IT SHOULD BE!

It's actually quite funny saying almost nothing and getting almost screamed at over the internet.
