Today, we were drawing self-portraits in school. I'm horrible at art, so I turned to the person next to me and stated that mine looked really ugly. He replied saying, "No, it looks exactly like you." FML

Today, I was partnered up with a girl in my art class, since the teacher had asked us to take turns drawing portraits of each other. I went first and felt pretty proud of how the drawing turned out. I showed it to her and she said "That's OK. I'm not good at drawing either." FML

Today, I saw a guy in the street drawing caricatures, and I decided to pay him to do one of me. Being a caricature, I looked pretty monstrous in it. When I showed it to my mum later, she shuddered and said, "Yeah, looks just like you." FML

Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML

Today, I went to get my school picture taken, when the photographer looked at me, saying, "You look like you need a mirror." FML

Today, I'm extremely disabled and by all means terrible at drawing, but I tried anyway. Sure enough, my drawings looked like shit, but I still took pride in them. That is, until my brother looked at one of them and said, "Wow! That's awful!" Thanks for pointing that out. FML

Today, in art class, our instructor called me up to the front to model for a drawing. I agreed to pose because it was nice to be called on, and I needed a self-esteem boost. He then thanked me, saying it's a great exercise for the class to draw such strange proportions. FML

Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML

Today, I was working on my art portfolio. I had drawn a self-portrait. When I was satisfied, I wanted to show my parents. They thought it was a drawing of a bear. FML

Today, after having been told that I looked horrible for the last five months, I decided to give myself a make-over. As soon as the make-up artist was done, I told her I didn't like it, and that I still didn't like how I look. She simply replied: ''Well, I'm a make-up artist, not a magician!'' FML

Today, I was getting my portrait done. The artist told me to smile. He looked at me, then said, "Oh, don't smile." FML

That happened to me once. But I shanked the guy in the eyeball with some crackhead's crack spoon.

Wait, you said it looks really ugly and he said no it looks just like you. Wouldn't that mean he is telling you that it isn't ugly? AND since it doesn't look ugly you don't either? So he complimented you darling, be happy. :)

he said "NO, it looks like you." translation: "no, it is not ugly. and you did a good job."

Okay, lets break this down. The guy said "No", indicating that he didn't find the picture to be ugly. Then, in saying that the picture looked like her, he complimented the OP's artistic ability. Where's the FML? Basically it's the OP's own artistic and physical insecurities that turned this into a situation. Bad show, OP.

Idiot. What if he said it with sarcasm?

maybe he was trying to say it wasn't ugly, it was pretty and it looked just like u. guys are complicated, you have to translate what they say into girl talk

How was that guy saying complicated. Please tell me how more straightfoward could he have been because he was clearly stating that she and her portrait isn't ugly and looks like her.
