Today, it's again one of many times my mom dropped me off at the mall to hang out with friends. Since I have no friends, I shop by myself and always tell her I had "so much fun". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother dragged me to the mall to get me out of the house and to get me to stop using my phone. She then spent the whole trip talking on her phone instead of actually interacting with me. FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, I walked around town by myself for four hours because I was too ashamed to tell my parents that I have no friends willing to spend time with me. FML
Today, my mom admitted that the only reason she took me out for lunch was because she felt guilty over going on a massive shopping spree for my sister while I was forced to stay home alone. I thanked her for the Wendy's meal anyway. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I could go to a friend's birthday. She said no, claiming I had been to too many this year already. I'd only been to one. It was my own. FML
Today, I went to the mall with friends. I'd ditched other friends in order to go out with these friends. At the table next to me was an ex, and on the top floor were the other friends I'd ditched. FML
Today, at a mall, my mom accused me of lying about being gay, just because I said I don't like shopping. FML
Today, I told my parents that I was going to hang out with some friends. My dad guffawed and said, "Ooh, look at Mary, pretending she has a social life." Thanks, Dad. FML
Today, I went to the mall with my mum. She had a few too many drinks the night before. As soon as we got into the mall, she puked. She walked around the mall with me, blowing chunks into a plastic bag. FML
Today, I realized the only reason my mom trusts me to stay home alone for long periods of time is because I don't have enough friends to throw a party. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow op, this is easily the saddest Fml I have ever read. I know it's hard to be outgoing and put yourself out there, but if you can do so. I'm sure there are some amazing people whom would love to be friends with you. Trust me I know how hard it is. But it will be worth it. I also agree with what others are saying. Be honest with your mom. One, she will respect you for it. Two, maybe she would go shopping with you. She's not just your parent. She's your friend too. I wish you nothing but the best of luck kiddo. I hope things get better.

theres no problem being alone it just shows your strong and dont need to depend on others to do things. i sometimes go to the movies alone if i got no one to go with. no shame in it.

You aren't the only one who feels lonely. You need to join a club or something at school or in town. Maybe volunteer at a shelter or something if you like animals. Don't be sad OP. Believe me everyone feels this way at some point. And yes tell your mom. She'll understand

It seems like OP spends a lot of time at the mall, maybe mom has personal reasons for wanting to get rid of OP regardless of his/her feelings.

join a sports team, that's the easiest way to make friends your age and you can be healthy while doing so

It's ok OP I know the feeling :( my mother always asks me why I don't like going out so I'm always pressured into going out with friends even if I don't want to. And if you lived near me I would be your friend ?

Why not drop the pretense and find places to hang out where you can make friends?
