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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

I'm sorry that you feel this way. I've been there many times in the past. I can say it will honestly get better. I'm in the NOVA MD area. if you need a friendly ear you do have a friendly person here

Once I was actually honest with my mom about not having friends my life got way better. She would plan things for us like shopping or getting our nails done. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders once I gave up the facade of having friends. (I'm in college, but my advice of being honest stands at any age)

Maybe you should shop with mama! You may get an extra outfit out of it too

I know how you feel, OP. It's not always easy putting yourself out there but hopefully baby steps will help :)

I'll go with you! I don't have any real friends either, my supposed "friends" always hang out together without me
