Today, I spent thirty minutes on the phone with my best friend's mom, because her daughter was too afraid to tell me that I'm no longer a bridesmaid at her wedding because I'm too fat. FML

Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

Don't get it

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML

Today, my bestie had me kicked out of her wedding the day of. All because I altered my bridesmaid's dress without telling her. She knows I hate fabric against my legs. FML

Today, my best friend announced she was getting married. I've always wanted to be a bridesmaid but she then added, "You can't be in the bridal party because you don't have the same body type as the other bridesmaids. But you can still come to the bachelorette party!" FML

Today, my best friend told me that I wasn't invited to her wedding, saying that I was too pretty and that I would outshine her at the ceremony. I laughed and said that she was being ridiculous. She eventually confessed the real reason why I wasn't invited: apparently I'm an annoying bitch. FML

Today, I’m supposed to be a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding, but she doesn’t want me in the photos because I’m over a foot taller than her and the other bridesmaids, and it will look silly in the photos. I told her I won’t even bother attending, and mom actually took her side. FML

Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML

Today, one of my closest friends informed me that she wasn't going to invite me to her wedding, because I'm too shy and not enough fun, and she doesn't want her 200 or so guests to feel uncomfortable. I was the one who set the happy couple up. FML

Today, I was supposed to be a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding. Instead, I'm bedridden with the effects of fibromyalgia. When I called my friend to let her know I wouldn't be making it, her response was, "Can't you get fiber-malgia some other time and hurry the fuck up and come? This place charges by the hour." FML

She isn't a true friend if she cares about something like that. You deserve better and don't ever feel bad about yourself

Weddings... Would you rather have a happy, beaming friend of any size... Or picked for their body with an indifferent look on their face?

Your so called "best friend" is either shallow for preferring a type over a real friend or a coward for not being willing to stand up to someone else who is. You're more mature than she is. Move on to someone at your level.

Is this the case of 'choose a fat friend' so that guys would pick you' and after you get the guy, drop the friend... I cannot see friendship on her part.

Keep in mind, social anxiety is a thing now a days. I've always had a problem with telling people things like that before high school. Pretty much a normal child response. But if you are old enough to get married, you are old enough to stand up to your irrational fears. Am I correct? Either way, if she was just being a scared little girl, or someone with social anxiety... I believe you would need a new friend, or no friend at all. Best of luck to you!!!

This is not a case of social anxiety. This is obviously a case of piece of shit syndrome and cowardiceism.

"Social anxiety is a thing now a days." You say it like you don't actually believe social anxiety is a debilitating mental disorder that has been proven and studied by thousands of mental health professionals. Also, there's a big difference between you being a shy person "before high school" and having a disorder that is incurable and can only be medicated to help alleviate the issue slightly. My sister-in-law had to drop out of college even though she had straight A's because the large classes made her cry and have panic attacks. You don't "grow out of" having a mental disorders. OP's best friend could grow out of being a shallow bitch though.
