Today, my social anxiety hit a new low. I was playing bingo and, although I won, I didn't shout "bingo" because I thought too many people would look at me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was playing at a bingo hall, when I got a bingo for $50. I got so excited that I accidentally yelled, "Holy fuck!" They kicked me out. I didn't get the money. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I'm now afraid to add people on Facebook. FML
Today, I thought I'd try to play Marvel Rivals, but my anxiety over having to interact with other people got so bad I panicked and never made it past the main menu. I really wanted to make friends or something. FML
Today, we had bingo. Three rounds into it a group behind me started to yell, "BINGO, BINGO!" I looked around and saw no one was coming to verify that they had a bingo, so I turned around and said "Stand up." The girl was a dwarf, and she was standing up. FML
Today, I began worrying I have social anxiety, all because while getting dressed I convinced myself that everyone would talk about me behind my back if I wore a striped shirt. FML
Today, I realised how badly the pandemic aggravated my social anxiety when I was playing an online game and an ally kept on getting too close to me throughout the match. I actually had to quit the game and take my emergency meds so I wouldn't go into a full blown crisis. FML
Today, I tried to overcome my crippling social anxiety and isolation by joining a club at the campus I attend remotely. Two girls at my table whispered and giggled the entire time, and one of them kept popping her lips like Donkey in the carriage scene in Shrek every few seconds. I left early with a migraine. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack just from thinking about appearing on TV and being watched by a real audience. FML
Today, my social anxiety is so bad that the mere thought of talking to anyone, even someone who isn't even real, makes me feel ill and uneasy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel for you, OP. We all are awkward.

No that's a legitimate fear. Personally, I've been known to lunge at/sick my tiger on people who beat me in bingo. You were right to purposely lose.

Then what was the point in even going play? Seems like a wasted trip!

Wat does Original Poster mean?

Old Person. This IS an FML about bingo, after all.

Usually people ask what does OP stand for but you answered your own question. And come on it is pretty self explanatory.

I can't tell you cause then I would have to kill you.

18- He means he has social anxiety and was too scared to shout "bingo". It's all spelled out in the FML, ya dumb ****.

Easy there, Shrike. There's a very small chance that some beneficent moderator changed the comment from "What does OP mean" to what it says now. A very small chance.

Well it's still a stupid question, what with google and all that.

Obviously the person who posted the original fml that we're all reading and commenting on.

OP stands for original poster, as you probably know, and the original poster is the person who wrote the FML.

#59, you disgrace me because of your username.
kittytub 12
me too. ): sorry, Lauren does NOT love jb in this case.
Jaxx66 21
Oh lord. "JB" means what I think it means, doesn't it?? That's disgusting. -_-;
Bluekaren16 19
I think 59 meant to put lauren loves Bjs as her username. It must have obviously been a typo because she wrote it backwards. :P
kittytub 12
I don't love those either ;c but i'll say I love jb- just bacon. ;)

Don't they have medecines for that?

Some people would rather not be drugged up.

I understand how you feel, OP, but the only way to progress in recovery with social anxiety is to go outside your comfort zone. Next time just try to push yourself to shout bingo!
koortneyg 12
I have done that so many times. You're not the only one. Just think when you yell "bingo" everybody is wishing they were you. (:

You should text the caller that you won. I'd suggest you Tweet your victory, but you probably are creeped out by having people follow you on Twitter.

It's okay OP, one time I had to get somebody to order my subway for me :)

We all have it to a degree. You just gotta meet someone who can take away the fears!
