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

Stay mad

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, 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.

Mine does this but makes it go onto the subject of my friends all being at uni or just no longer talking to me because I don't fit in with their groups fairly quickly. It's just a bit annoying, but it can help as I start to feel less down about it when I realise why my old friends don't talk to me. Any new friends would be people I meet at work or online.

Have you tried talking to one of those old friends again after a while? I found it sometimes actually works wonders. Sometimes they also wanted to talk to you again but are also thinking that you won't want to or are not sure you remember them so nobody says anything and it ends there. Even if you stopped fitting before, they might have changed with time. And sometimes you don't fit in a group, but some people within the group still like you. I'm only saying all that because it happened to me before. At most they'll ignore you and it ends the same way.

Get a hobby. Join an outdoor bootcamp group. There's friends out there just waiting to be met! :)

I had a shitty mom too whose pep talks were depressing. It is what it is--just take it with a grain of salt and try to avoid those "heart to heart" talks.

After high school a lot of my friends moved and so did I. Now I really don't have many friends, and no close friends. I'm sure it'll work out for the both of us. ?
