School, Awkward, Teenagers and Love: Brief encounter

Brief encounter

By anonymous - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - United States - Pewaukee

Today, a guy I have been crushing on since forever finally talked to me. Too bad it happened after an anxiety attack when he carried me from class to the nurse's. The first thing he said to me when I came to was, "You're heavier than you look." FML

Today, a guy I like tried to talk to me. I got so nervous that I had a panic attack and puked in front of him. FML

Today, I ran into someone I'd never had a crush on in school, but because I've realised we have a lot in common, I get nervous whenever I see him. I was so near to him while paying for food that I had an anxiety attack, and had to leave quickly. FML

Today, the man that I have a crush on finally touched me. This would have been great, if not for the fact that it was to roll me on my side while I was having a seizure. FML

Today, the guy I've had a crush on came over to my house. My Dad came in to see how we we're doing, looks at me and says "Man... You've REALLY been puttin' on the pounds!", pokes me in the stomach a few times, and leaves. FML

Today, the guy I've been crushing on at work finally asked me out to lunch. I was nervous we wouldn't have anything to talk about. He spent the entire hour talking about how amazing his new girlfriend is. FML

Body positivity week

By FattieFatFat - 05/09/2023 14:00

Today, I overheard my crush and his friend talking about girls they would date. When his friend mentioned me, my crush said, “If she wasn’t fat, hell yeah.” Choking back tears at school for the rest of the day was not an easy task. FML

Today, it's my birthday. When my crush spotted me in the hallway and wished me a Happy Birthday, my nerves got the best of me and I blurted out, "You too!" FML

Shoot your shot

Today, I finally told the guy I like that I'm in love with him. He's the first person I have ever fallen in love with and owning up to my feelings was nerve-wracking due to my anxiety. He rejected me and ghosted me after saying he would get in touch soon. FML

At least he was a gentleman enough to carry you there. I wouldn't worry about his comment as a lot of people can appear skinny but weigh more due to muscle mass, water retention, etc..

Really hope you're feeling better, OP. I don't think he was being malicious but still not the best thing he could've said.

Case of women overthinking everything. He wouldnt have carried you there if he didnt like you, and he was able to carry you all the way there. And I don't care how small you are you're still heavy for a person to carry

Besides that was actually a compliment. He implied that you look good

He thinks you look light, and he was probably just surprised his strength wasn't quite as easily up to carrying a person. And he touched your body, though not really under the most ideal of circumstances..

Is that not a complement?

Well you broke the ice, so see how things go from here. You could suggest that you take him out to dinner or lunch taste a thank you.

Pretty sure this is the opposite of an FML...

In some cultures that is definitely a compliment! Besides, isn't it bad to be light as a guy? Most of my male friends always complain about being under 160 lbs

Oh well, time to go find a man who isn't an asshole. :)

How does this make him an asshole?! All he said is that OP is heavier than he looks, meaning OP looks like he doesn't weigh that much. I'd rather be told I'm heavier than I look than be told I look heavier than I am.
