What does the “#FML” meme mean?

It acts as a collective pressure valve that turns personal suffering into entertaining, shareable social media content.
Where does the “#FML” meme come from?
The English phrase "fuck my life" first appeared in Urban Dictionary on May 13, 2005, as an acronym. However, the editorial project originated in France via an IRC channel created by Maxime Valette and Antoine Descamps. Around mid-January 2008, this community transformed into a participatory microblog. Early features allowing users to post stories were added at the end of January. The exact launch date is disputed: some sources cite January 13, 2008, while the official FAQ mentions 2009. The site became a global reference for anonymous anecdotes, popularizing the hashtag usage at the end of narratives.
