FML is just shorthand for "fck my life." When people drop an "fml" on X (Twitter) or in texts, they're usually signaling one of these vibes: The "Second-Hand Embarrassment": When someone says something so cringe you feel it in your soul. The "Why Me?" Moment: Like when you realize you've been walking around with a massive stain on your shirt all day. The "I'm Done" Phase: When life keeps throwing curveballs and you've run out of energy to catch them.
