Today, while opening up to a few friends about how I was sexually abused as a child, one of them blurted "Pics or it didn't happen." How did the others react? With outrage? No, just with awkward chuckling. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a guy made fun of sexual assault victims, and laughed when he heard they’re getting money and support. He also said I look like his next victim. I hit him, unapologetically. My friends told me to apologise, and that he’s really a great guy. No longer my friends. Talk shit, get hit. FML
Today, I told my friends I was kissed by a girl. They said "Yeah, probably by your mom." The sad thing is, they were right. FML
Today, I laughed at a joke in a group chat. No one else reacted. After five minutes, I realized I’d replied to a message from last week. I had to also pretend I hadn't noticed and sat in silence. FML
Today, I was in a support group talking about how my sister and I were raised in a cult. Never one to be outdone, the loud mouth of the group piped up and scoffed, “Oh please! If it didn’t make the news and no one died, then it wasn’t a cult!” Sorry I wasn’t murdered. It was still abusive as fuck. FML
Today, I decided to open up to my friends about losing my dad last year. To my horror, all they could do was laugh at and mock me, all because I said that he "unalived" himself. FML
Today, I was peppered with questions about my swollen eye and if I'd gotten into a fight. I couldn't bring myself to admit that I'd been brutally beaten into submission by a doorknob. FML
Today, at a mind-numbingly boring support session, everyone was talking about their hardships. One guy was talking about losing his leg in a car accident. I was half-asleep and asked without thinking, "Did you ever find it?" I almost shat my pants at the roomful of death glares that followed. FML
Today, after weeks of therapy for severe depression, my therapist thought it would be helpful to confess my deepest problems to my friends, to prove that it was alright to trust people. I did. They laughed. Hard. FML
Today, I was telling my friends a story. I added a few "embellishments" to make it more intense. One my friends piped up with, "I was with you, half of what you just said wasn't true". It's now all over Facebook and I'm known as "The Bullshitter". FML
Today, someone was making jokes and everyone started laughing, so I laughed. He then proceeded to look me dead in the eye and go, "What are you laughing at?" I started stuttering and mumbled back quietly, "I don't know, what are you laughing at?" He goes, "I'm not laughing" and then they all stared at me weird. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

**** the person who said "Pics or it didn't happen." Some people do nervously laugh in awkward situations or when they don't know what else to say. I'm really sorry that happened to you, and I'm hoping you're getting help.

That'd be kind of an awkward situation, honestly. Save those details for a best friend - ya know? Sorry it happened.

OP, you have some awful friends. I can't believe they'd act that way in a time of crisis and not believe you. Hold your head up. Good things are to come.

Thats sick that scumbag should have been shot down and they should have been given support, I know just how you feel when I told my family about my abuse they all turned against me and stopped talking to me except my grandparents and my mother, my mother because she knew this man was a pedophile but still let him baby sit me because she was a young mum who still wanted to party and drink every night and he was happy to baby sit the pretty slender girl I was back then, I have gone to great pains to sabotage my looks now and found safety in obesity, tattoos and piercings.

I am so sorry that i bumped ydi by accident. Honestly that sucks and nobody deserves that crap, sounds like you need some new friends and family if that is who abused you

Unfortunately, some people lack the maturity to handle an uncomfortable situation. Instead of being consoling they make a crude, insensitive joke. I would've told them how uncool it was either immediately, or later on taken them aside. I'm sorry you were made to feel a number of unpleasant emotions because of your friend's jackass comment.

It was a pretty funny comment tho and it's a joke, not serious... People need to stop being ******* and realize the world ain't all fun and games. This generation has a serious problem with being overly sensitive. Get up, rub some dirt on it, and move on instead of being an annoying pussy
