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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

i don't know what age you are or what area you're from. your mother may expect you to be with your friends for security purposes. kidnapping a group of screaming, running children is essentially impossible. kidnapping a quiet loner is trivial. notifying your mother isn't a social commentary as much as a safety precaution - something that only a mother would worry about.

If you go to the mall so often, maybe try meeting people there that you can become friends with. You can do it, OP.

You should tell her! It's nice to have someone to talk to about those things. Don't be embarrassed about it.

I'm sorry that you don't have (that many) friends. Still, I don't really see why you choose not to tell your mother the truth. Don't you think she wants the best for you?

I am sorry. Loneliness is a battle that not many people are sympathetic too at the best of times or even understand how it could be possible when the world is full of people. But it happens many times over. Loneliness can also lead to depression. So take note of that and try not to let it get you down . Sometimes there isn't anyone at that moment in your life and no matter what you do, you are still alone so all you have is you. I hope your life turns around soon and you meet many wonderful people to hang out with. Your life won't always be lonely. There are friends around the corner but Until friends enter the picture do your best to keep yourself occupied. Take hobby classes. Learn a new skill. Or volunteer if you can The world is your oyster. Good luck
