Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML

Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML

Today, I was in the car with my mom. We were discussing my brother, how he's been screwing up majorly lately and she blamed it on his friends. Then she turned to me and said, "It's a good thing you've never had any friends." FML

Today, I had to make up a story about my "friends" at school so my mom doesn't keep telling I'm a loser. FML

Today, my mother is upset that I won’t share things with her anymore. This is the woman who spent my entire childhood gossiping about every teeny tiny detail of my life, and used my suicide attempt as a way to garner pity for herself. Yeah, no thanks. FML

Today, I told my mom that I struggle with depression. She then told me that she thinks that I always seem to suck the life out of a room. FML

Today, my mom confessed that she has to make up compliments to give to prove me wrong when I said she can never say positive things about me. FML

Today, my mom slept all day. But when she got out of bed for five minutes, she told me I was a worthless piece of shit. Then she went back to bed. FML

Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML

Today, I found myself crying in the bathroom because I started to feel lonely and depressed. My mother came into the bathroom, hearing me cry and gave me an hour long speech about what a beautiful human being I am… And to not forget to lose weight. FML

Either your mom is trying some strange form of reverse psychology or she got way off track.

If you choose to believe what most think of you... You won't have much of a life at all... Set your own path... Write your own story.

It sounds like your mother had good intentions, but maybe just isn't very good at pep talks. At least she cares enough to try, though.

She didn't truly mean it. My parents usually do the same thing and it ends up pretty much the same way. She might just be trying to wake something inside you :). Happy new year BTW.
