Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, I was in the car with my mom. We were discussing my brother, how he's been screwing up majorly lately and she blamed it on his friends. Then she turned to me and said, "It's a good thing you've never had any friends." FML
Today, I had to make up a story about my "friends" at school so my mom doesn't keep telling I'm a loser. FML
Today, my mother is upset that I won’t share things with her anymore. This is the woman who spent my entire childhood gossiping about every teeny tiny detail of my life, and used my suicide attempt as a way to garner pity for herself. Yeah, no thanks. FML
Today, I told my mom that I struggle with depression. She then told me that she thinks that I always seem to suck the life out of a room. FML
Today, my mom confessed that she has to make up compliments to give to prove me wrong when I said she can never say positive things about me. FML
Today, I was comforting my friend who has a toxic relationship with her Mom. She said, "If I'm such a failure, they always make it known that I can't live up to their expectations." It caught me a bit off guard when she said, "I wish she would just leave me alone and leave my life just like your mom did." FML
Today, my mom slept all day. But when she got out of bed for five minutes, she told me I was a worthless piece of shit. Then she went back to bed. FML
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Either your mom is trying some strange form of reverse psychology or she got way off track.

Maybe you - and OP - have a friend and you just haven't been in touch with them for a while. It happened with me and my old and now once again best friend - we spent years without talking to each other after we got separated when we were kids, found each other again thanks to the internet and now it's been about 5 years that we've been best friends again, with the addition that her fiancee is now one of my best buddies too. I also got other friends now thanks to her, who's way more outgoing than I am and introduced me to people. If you had a friend once, no matter how long ago that was, try to find them now and talk to them again. Real friendship never changes no matter how long you stay apart.

A new year, a new start. Don't sweat so much on the past and start the year anew

Don't listen to her. You are perfect the way you are! And anybody who doesn't see that isn't worth your time. Granted family can be different but take what they say with a grain of salt.

Moms are so supportive. Don't listen to her, mine used to do that to. It's horribly cruel but survivable.

Well, is your aplombness high or low? Because, if it's high, you should be able to buck your mom off your ass.

Maybe she has self confidence problems too and it makes her feel better to talk about someone else's. Good luck by the way, OP.

If it makes you feel better, the only friends I have is the DVD with seasons 1-10 on it. I'll let you borrow it, OP.

Oh sorry OP that sucks :( don't worry a lot of parents put down their kids a little too much sometimes without really meaning to. Hope you have a happy New Years though!
