Today, it was my grandfather's burial. As the family was about to leave, a great aunt came up to my skinny, tall and pretty cousin and told her, "Stay beautiful and kind." Then, she walked to me and said, "And you, Stay kind." FML

Today, I was standing in the parking lot with my sister, after my aunt's funeral, when my grandma walks up and says to my sister, "You're the one going places in life, I'm proud to have you as a grand daughter." She then looked at me, and walked away. FML

Today, I went to my grandfather's funeral. As I stood there, bawling my eyes out, my aunt came over and put her arm around me. She leaned her head close to mine. I assumed she was going to say something comforting. Instead she asked where I'd bought my shoes from. FML

Today, I was at lunch with my grandpa and my sister. My grandpa looks over at my sister and says, "Wow. You're so beautiful." Right after, he turns to me and says, "And you have a nice coat." FML

Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML

Small talk

Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML

Today, after my cousin recently died, my aunt basically told me that I shouldn't be sad, because we fought. FML

Today, I asked my grandmother what she looked like when she was young. She casually replied, "I was ugly, sweetie. Just like you." FML

Today, I met my cousin after two years. She got really tall and skinny, like a model. I joked saying, "You've grown and gotten slim, and I've stayed the same and have gotten fat." I expected some sort of disagreement. Instead, she looked me up and down, frowned, and gave me a long, sympathetic hug. FML

Stop complaining. Old people are crazy. Especially when someone close to them dies. When my grandfather died, my grandmother had all of us making thank you cards for people who had brought food and gifts and proceeded to flip out on us because things weren't perfectly straight or even or colored correctly. Yes, we all were hurting, and it was wrong of her to act like that, but when people are hurt, sometimes the only way they know to cope is to lash out and be mean to people. So what if she doesn't think you're gorgeous? Get over it.

To late now, but the correct reply to that is "Don't ****** tell me what to do bitch!"

****, man.. After my best friend was murdered a few years ago, I said a whole ton of hurtful things to people that I still think about and wish never said. Give her a ******* break. What she said wasn't even that big a deal. So she called you less than beatiful, eh? Boo hoo, cry me a ******* river.

Well... At least she thinks you're kind...? But you're complaining about your great-aunt saying something that you didn't like, when the real FML is that your grandfather just died. :/

Skinny and tall does not equal beautiful. It means she has an eating disorder and/or a tape work and she has/had a pituitary problem.

Not necessarily... and sucks about the insult OP, but like many others on here, I'd think your grandfather's death would have more weight than an insult from your great-aunt. Sorry for your loss.

Yeah, I'm 6'3 and 140 pounds, I eat around 3000 calories a day, am physically active, and there is nothing medically wrong with me, nor do I have an eating disorder. Just because someone's skinny doesn't mean there's something wrong with them.
