Today, I got a cross-country job promotion. I decided to plan my Going-Away-Forever party, and bought a pack of 100 invitations. After mailing them out to all my friends, I have 92 left. FML
I agree, your life sucks 436
You deserved it 86

8 close friends are better than 100 whatever friends!

And you couldn't have decided who to invite BEFORE buying the cards? Man, YDI for being a dumbass AND a loser with no friends.

Why is this an FML? You just now realized that you have eight friends? And why are you throwing yourself a going away party, isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Stop complaining. YDI.

okay.. eight friends? nothing wrong with that tbh.. would you rather have 30 shitty friends?

@ #42 - i bet you're one of these people that has 200 "friends" that don't actually like you. having 8 close friends is A LOT.

Eight good friends is a lot, whether you believe it or not.

Well you can always see what strangers will come

I have had many goign aways for ever parties ( lol I move around a lot ) and there is nothing you will remember most than a party with a few close friends... I had a couple that were pretty much like a hige party...they were good, but felt just like any other party... not worth it...being the last time I will see this people... seeing how there were like 10 people who I saw once... and 6 that I really liked and some other 20 people who I talk to once in a while. In reality most people only have around 5 close friends.

Most people only have a few friends who are worth anything and would fill the other 92 spots with people they don't really like but have to be nice to anyway, or don't know that well, etc. etc. Real life isn't Facebook or Myspace, and this isn't that surprising.

8 good friends makes you way happier than having 38 sort-of-friends that aren't a consistent positive in your life. also, dont forget about old friends, work friends, acquaintances, family and family friends...and you might be able to add a few to your list.

No one else has said it yet, but major congrats on the promotion! How exciting for you!
