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?

I am awkward so I find the eassiest way to meet people is working! You are at the mall anyway! It's easier than having to put yourself out there in a new club too.

No shame, OP! You don't have to be constantly surrounded by and dependant on people to have value. I know what its like feeling like the resident lonerloser, but I actually enjoy the peace now. Just enjoy yourself guilt-free at the mall and shop your face off. Groups can get annoying sometimes. Though I don't recommend lying to your mom. Just say the truth and own it and not be worried if someone pittied you for it. After all, you never know things might change for you and you'll have too many friends and look back at this moment longingly.

I know that feeling, truly. My mom worked at the mall, knew I had no friends and still made me come there everyday after HS to wait for her to get a ride home. She'd give me $$ for food and that's it. I'd do my homework while eating. *IF* I had shopping I needed to do, she'd make me wait til she got off work to go with me. I couldn't even shop alone. Good luck, my friend. I'd bring my kids (15&12) and we'd all go together if I could! ?

That's nothing to be ashamed of and don't call yourself a loser. Please these days you have to be careful of the people you meet and consider calling friends. You should be honest with your mom and tell her your feelings about your situation. You just need to get involved with different kinds of clubs and activities that you like and you will definitely meet good people like yourself and before you know it you all will be having a good time going out and making fun and funny memories and friendships that will probably last a lifetime.

You can be my friend, which means you get to be friends with all of my friends. We're a bit of an odd bunch, but we'll always be here for you. Just message me on kik messenger, mine is AideenTheAngel
