Today, while walking around outside with my friends, I was told that I have no right to complain about the heat since I'm not fat. Thirty minutes later, I had sweat out all the liquid in my body and promptly passed out from heat stroke. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told to "stop being such a little pussy." Why? Because my body chose to pass out from the heat. I didn’t complain even once, but I drank plenty of water and still passed out. FML
Today, it was so hot in the un-airconditioned gym that when I got up off the floor, I slipped in my own pool of sweat and got a concussion. FML
Today, I was at work as a lifeguard. The temperature was absolutely stifling, but I tried to tough it out. A couple of hours into my shift, I passed out, fell off my stand, and crashed into the water. Or so the medics tell me. FML
Today, I walked to the grocery store despite being out of shape since it was typically only a 30 minute walk and gas prices are bad. The hourly temperature on my weather app was wrong as usual so by the time I got to the store, I was sweating buckets. By the time I got back home, I was so overheated I nearly threw up. FML
Today, I had an asthma attack while walking home with my friends. As I was struggling to breathe, they thought I was attention-seeking and left me on the floor. FML
Today, after asking my family to quiet down at a restaurant, my mom told me to go outside. In 100+ degree weather. So I did, and after what seemed like an hour, my family ran out screaming because they thought I'd been kidnapped. I nearly got heatstroke to show my family that sensory overload is real. FML
Today, I was hanging out with a friend, and we were on our way to the nearest frozen yogurt place. The second we got out of the car, I immediately complained about how hot and bright it was outside. I was so busy complaining, I didn’t hear my friend telling me to watch out for the curb. I landed face first. FML
Today, I was playing basketball in the searing heat with my friends. I jokingly told my friend that I was gonna die if I stayed out there much longer. Two minutes later, I got the ball and made the shot that won. Too bad I didn't see it, since I collapsed right as I took the shot and blacked out. FML
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, I went to a huge rock concert. While waiting in a half a mile long line to get in, I passed out due to the heat. I regained consciousness to hear about a hundred people yelling and trying to help me. My boyfriend, who I went with, was not one of them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's a new kind of peer pressure. If you don't feel well, do something about it. You're the only one who knows how your body normally feels, so restoring it should be your main priority, regardless of what you so-called "friends" tell you. By the way, ditch these losers before they push you into doing more harm to yourself.

Your body size has nothing to do with how you handle the heat.

It’s a non-sequitur to think that you don’t need to hydrate in hot weather because you’re thin.

Yes, it does. Fat people have a lot more mass, but not proportionally more surface area, so dissipating heat is harder. Nevertheless, skinny people are not immune to the requirements for hydration.

@RichardPencil (apologies if I have the username wrong - I’m visually impaired), you’re an idiot.

You're not just visually impaired.

This is why we need to keep shaming fat people. Whenever we let them think they are real people with valid opinions people get hurt.

Dude, you forgot to add women, vegans, Democrats, people who identify as LGBTQ+, atheists, black people, Muslims, Jews, the working class, the poor, the homeless, the terminally ill, immigrants (both legal, and illegal), murderers, rapists, child abusers, zombies, werewolves, vampires, extra-terrestrial beings, and dragons, to your list. I enjoy being facetious as much as I enjoy sarcasm, and irony.

I think in his eyes, fat people are worse than all of those

I’m confused: only fat people feel the scorching heat?? I think you need to get smarter “friends”

Are you not old enough to know you need to hydrate yourself? Or do you just listen to everything your friends say?

Yeah, not staying hydrated is your fault. Heat stroke can easily kill you. Good for you for surviving, but when it's hot drink water constantly!

Um we're you drinking water?

Well, on the bright side, at least you're skinny!

Your friends are dumb. Listen to your body, not them
