Thanks, I hate it!

Today, I was having a horrible day and messaged a friend to vent. She replied with, "Eat a cookie" and proceeded to send me a picture with a "motivational" quote from her buddhistic spiritual leader. FML

Today, I was having a really bad day and told my friend at lunch about how stressed I was and he gave me his brownie to cheer me up. After school, he texted me "Did the brownies kick in?" Yes, they did, right in the middle of my English presentation. They were "funny" brownies. FML

Today, I found out that my friend uses pictures of me to motivate her to work out. They are accompanied by sayings such as, "You don't want to turn out like this." FML

Today, I sent out a text saying "Smile! You're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." to most of my contacts. I got one reply, from my best friend, saying, "Are you fucking stupid?" FML

Today, my friend gave me a fortune cookie that said, "Don't be saddened by an upcoming event". Three hours later my girlfriend broke up with me because she said I was too superstitious. FML

Today, I sent the girl I like a Twinkie with a note saying "Enjoy! You deserve it". I found out later through an angry email that someone had written "you damn fatty" on the end of the note. FML

Today, I was feeling pretty down due to a recent back injury, so I thought I’d do something nice to help lift my spirits. I bought some cookies for my coworkers, who ended up not wanting any, and one of them decided to ask what was wrong with my face. Oh, right, my acne rosacea is flaring too. FML

Today, my best friend texted me and told me she broke up with her boyfriend. Trying to be supportive, I sent a long message about how he never deserved her and that I was there for her if she needed someone to vent to. She replied, "Are you high?" FML

Today, my grandma sent me a Valentine's Day card. For years she's been hinting at me to lose weight. The card: a picture of cookies on the front and a gym membership inside. FML

Today, I was selling winter-themed cookies at my university. I cheerfully asked a girl if she would like to buy cookies to support peer tutoring. Her response? "I don't eat food." FML

What "motivational quote" could be more uplifting than "eat a cookie?" It was probably anticlimactic. Mmmmm, cookies.

Maybe your friend doesn't know what is positive or negative at this moment for you. If she's real she will refrain untill she knows how to properly respond.

your friend was trying to distract you to help you with your stress it's actually a tactic used in psychology eating of sweets gives you a moment to relax and forget about the stress thus helping you de-stress my favorite is cheesecake helps chill me out every time

Doesn't this lead to forming a bad habit of stress eating?

Ya I guess it could if you're not careful about it, I used it as a once a week kind of thing but I see what your getting at

Stay calm, you'll get through your troubles. At least your friend is trying.

They don't seem to give a damn and gave you the bare minimum just to claim they "tried to help". I suggest the next time they come to you hurt over something just tell them "eat a cookie" and leave it at that. It's the type of "friendship" they want right?

I guess I should give some clarification to what I meant once a week I would reward myself with a treat thus helping myself be distracted and de-stressed but of course this could lead to stress eating if you do it daily
