Today, my sister was upset because she felt like no one liked her. Without thinking, I replied, "It's okay. If I acted like you, people would probably hate me, too." This sounded sympathetic in my head. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my mom she made me feel unloved my whole life. She called my sister and apologized. FML
Today, my sister was dumped by her boyfriend. As my mother was comforting her, I overheard her say "Honey, it's okay, you're the pretty one. Think of those worse off than you. Think of your sister, she might never get a boyfriend." FML
Today, my sister teased me about being a mistake baby. When I told my mom what my sister said, her response was "I still love you anyway". FML
Today, my family and I were visiting an aunt. While helping my aunt to set the table, my sister remarked that from behind I look exactly like her. I reflexively blurted out, "Well fuck you too." Very awkward silence. FML
Today, I got in an argument with my teacher for always comparing me to my sister that she had a few years before. After I said, "I'm not my sister so please stop comparing me to her," she responded, "Of course you're not your sister, I actually like your sister." FML
Today, my little sister came up to me and said, "Aww, don't be sad. Even ugly people can get boyfriends." She then smiled, patted my back, and walked off. I wasn't actually sad before, but I am now. FML
Today, my sister blamed me for everything again. We're twins and have the same friends, but they all like her better because she's an extrovert and I'm an introvert, and I'm sick of her getting mad at me, copying me, blaming me and making my life miserable for no reason. Why does everyone think I'm so pathetic? FML
Today, I said something in class and someone mimicked me. In a self-pitying mood, I exclaimed, "Everybody hates me!" The girl behind me then said, "Pretty much." FML
Today, my sister asked me if any of my family members had commented on my recent weight gain. I told her, "No, not really." Her reply? "They must just being saying it behind your back then." FML
Today, I was complaining to my sister about how jealous I was of her looks. Her response was "Sometimes it's okay to be the ugly sister. Like, you have less of a chance of getting raped." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of a sisterly bond breaking.

Sweetie, this is why we think things through before we say them

Op probably did think about what she was going to say, but social situations like this can make a person fumble on their words and mean something completely different.

"Without thinking"

#1, I think the reason you're getting thumbed down is because of the "sweetie." It seems condescending. I know it drives me crazy when girls my age call me "hon" before trying to correct me.

I'm thumbing him down because OP DID think before she said something.

She did not think it through. Maybe told the harsh truth, but at the wrong time.

@ 21 he's a guy. Not a girl.

#48 re-read the part where op says "without thinking"
dreamweaver1227 11
None of you are thinking.
Saub 19
At least you tried :D
Pesticides 19
Yeah it's better than just staring at her without saying a word until she breaks down even more.

Might have been harsh but maybe it will help her make a change

Trying is always better than not

My friend was once complaining that her bestie's brother doesn't like her, and in an effort to console her the bestie said: "Oh, you're upset that he doesn't like you? But lots of people don't like you!" She thought shecwas making it less personal :D

#6 Damn, I accidentally thumbed you down. Sorry! OP, while that wasn't clever of your part (you tried, though, and it's the thought that counts...?), it'll hopefully make her try to change herself for the better.

Hey it's nicer than anything my bro tells me :p

I did that once. My mother walked into the room i was in. And my dogs started flipping out and barking at her. So i said "they probably don't recognize you because you look so pretty" It sounded like a compliment in my head
christianpulis 17
Isn't it?
cailey1234567890 24
Not really. I said they don't recognize her because she looks pretty. Basically saying she doesn't look pretty most of the time
Mexico_WC2018 16
Damn, I didn't get it at first but when I did I laughed so hard. You couldn't have come up with a better insult if you tried.
LalaDee561 8
That would have sounded like a compliment in my head too and then I would have been in the same situation that you were in...
