Assumptions

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, at school, I was crying because someone I knew had died. My teacher pulled me aside and said, "I understand you're socially awkward, but don't worry, it gets better." FML

The teacher probably didn't mean it that way, plus they were just trying to help, it's not like she could of read your mind but nonetheless, sorry for your loss, OP, hopefully you'll be feeling better soon, it's always hard dealing with a death.

i would have punched the teacher in the face

Seriously? Unless you are 13 or younger grow up. Jesus Christ. Is everyone turning into a whining pussy these days. Sorry somebody you knew died. However it obviously wasn't a Friend or relative because who uses the phrase "somebody i knew" when describing those people? Was it the guy who bags you're groceries or the guy who always serves you coffee? If they had meant anything to you, atleast if it was me, you would have stated the relationship no matter how small. Please someone actually explain how my thinking is flawed. Seriously, I would honestly like to know.

Yes I am aware she is in school most likely high school. But my point about the person not meaning anything is still valid. Some people just like to fine reasons to be depressed and cry about everything. And I believe that is the OP's case

If the person that died was just someone that bagged her groceries or served her coffee, I don't think she would have been crying about it. She obviously knew them well enough for the death to make her so upset. Why don't you stop being such an ass, I think you're the one that needs to grow up a little.

Right because teenage girls EVER blow anything emotional out of the water. HA! You should know your a very enticing woman who made a bad choice at getting married at 22 who will end up divorced before she's 25 unless she winds up preggers then maybe the daddy will hang around. I'm just saying that it's possible this girl got all crazy over someone who makes her coffee.

What a jerk that teacher was towards you! I am COMPELLED to give you the answer you should have given.... "Yes, I agree my social awkwardness will go away over time, but you on the other hand will ALWAYS be a ******* asshole!" Problem is, then you're expelled.... but it would be nice to give an asshole their deserved come uppance! Hang in there!

Can you please explain to me why a teacher trying to step in and notice signs from a student should be considered being an asshole? Cause unless you didn't know, teachers are meant to be aware of problems that a student might have and take into account any signs they might present. Obviously this student was probably shy and kept to herself, which is why this teacher assumed that this student was sobbing about such a thing. People cry for alot of different reasons, and a quiet sob is often associated with worry.

Yes, 79, that is true. But on the other hand, it would have been nice for the teacher to ask what was making OP cry, instead of jumping to conclusions.

I understand you're upset about what your teacher said, but don't worry it gets better.

"You mean like when we get to eat the body?" Whoosh! Did you hear that? That was the teacher's mind getting blown. You amped it up from socially awkward to cannibalistic psychopath in 10 words. Pow!

Perdix was that your dinner plan for tonight or something?

I don't really understand why people like perdix. Have random pathetic comments that seem like a thirty year old man who fits the stereotype of every lazy unsuccessful person become the source of everyones enjoyment? I don't see how what you commented is funny, so I'm sure OP didn't get any benefit from it.

Because they are smarter than you. My comments aren't random, they are always pertinent to the original post. Also, many people comment to make jokes, not offer aid and comfort to the OPs. Most of us look at FML as an entertainment site, not group therapy. Take the stick out of your ass, you'll feel better. See, I can be helpful ;)

Um. I actually am socially awkward. And cried at school a few times because of it.

Um, everyone is socially awkward In one setting or another.

Sometimes I felt like crying, but I realized that was useless. Instead, when I felt really out of sorts, I'd stand up, whip out my weiner and shake it around a bit. I'd get a few days off school, get to blow smoke up some counselors' asses, and my classmates have stories they tell to this day. Pretty much win-win-win!

I love reading your comments Perdix, they always make my day a little bit better :)

#63 But I have social anxiety. So I'm social anxious/awkward in every social setting. #71 Perdix <3 Ahahaha.

Why so many down-votes? I have social anxiety. Deal with it.
