# Self-Deprecating Blogs Online Sites Let Losers Post Their Misfortunes By Wesley Yang | Published 2009-09-21 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Self-Deprecating-Blogs References: [mylifeisaverage](http://www.mylifeisaverage.com) & [imsobadatsex](http://www.imsobadatsex.com) In the wake of [FML](http://fmylife.com) (F%@k My Life), a site used to post personal tragedy stories for the enjoyment of others, similar sites have been popping up all over the web. ‘My Life is Average’ lets boring people post about how uniquely average they are. For example, “Today I turned 11. I did not receive a letter from Hogwarts. MLIA.” ‘I’m so Bad at Sex’ is another blog that posts [misfortunes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-misfortune-cookies) such as having your boyfriend choose a rare Pokemon over having intercourse with you. The last self-deprecating blog that follows close to the steps of FML shares equally amusing stories of horrible and depressing days such as “I had to tell my mom that my new girlfriend is pregnant. My mom, who introduced us, looked horrified. Apparently my girlfriend’s mom and my mom found each other some internet group for people who adopt. They wanted to see if we’d guess ourselves that we are biologically brother and sister.” For more awesome, [self-deprecating blog funnies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-me-ai), look through the gallery! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Self-deprecating Blogs:** Opportunity to create platforms for people to share humorous and relatable misfortunes, fostering a sense of community. - **Personal Tragedy Stories:** Opportunity to develop websites that allow individuals to share personal tragedies and find solace in the empathy of others. - **Humorous Misfortune Posts:** Opportunity to create online spaces for people to share amusing stories of their worst days, promoting laughter and entertainment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Online Communities:** Opportunity to build platforms that facilitate connections and shared experiences among users through self-deprecating blogs. - **Social Media:** Opportunity to introduce new features or platforms in existing social media networks that allow for the sharing of personal tragedy stories. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity to create content or platforms dedicated to sharing humorous misfortune posts, catering to people's desire for entertainment and humor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humorous Parenting Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-pray-cry.md) - [Internet Humor News](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo.md) - [Novelty Polling Websites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funnypoll.md) - [Humorous Losers-Focused Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/league-losers.md) - [Simple Joke Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dad-jokes1.md) - [Social Bio Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-cringe.md) - [Creative Experiment Sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worldsworstwebsitelol.md) - [Absurd Content Feeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absurd-content.md) - [Meme-Based Dating Sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schmooze.md)
