TooMuchAnxiety
Kailua, United States
Today, my ex-boyfriend asked me to homecoming, in front of the whole school, knowing I have social anxiety. I was forced to say yes to not seem like an asshole. Now I can't back out. FML

Don't buy a dress, if he asks to see it, stall. On the day of homecoming, you're suddenly too sick to leave your bed! Problem solved

Or she can just tell him to **** off for putting her in such a predicament.

wow what an ass, no wonder he's your ex. I know how much it sucks when you have social anxiety, I hope you'll be able to get help for it

Find someone else to go with so that you don't have to skip out on a fun time to make memories. Tell the ex privately that you only agreed to it because of your public anxiety and that you will not be going with him. Problem solved?

Usually I would make a pun on these FML's, but not this time. Your ex is a ******* dick.

Should have said I'll think about it & told him no when it was just the two of you.

Social anxiety isn't something you can just get rid of by "sucking it up"

How do you seem like an asshole if you simply say no? Did he go all out asking? I'm sure everyone knew he was your ex, and wouldn't have thought you were an asshkle

Yes, you can. Back out.

This could be classified as abuse.

Not sure about abuse but it's definitely manipulative and if he's doing this as her ex, one can only imagine the crap he tried to pull while they were together.

Anxiety is a psychological disorder (it is what it falls under, there's nothing wrong with that or anyone who has it), so what he did, full knowing she had social anxiety, is classed as psychological abuse, maybe even emotional abuse after all her feelings of this too.
