Really ruined the con for me desu.
I think I need to see a doctor, one of the reasons being I can never seem to complete projects, even when I still feel really investing in them. The other reasons aren't /cgl/ related, so I'll leave them out. I have these costumes that I've gotten at least partially done, but even though I'm still interested in them I can't seem to finish. I can only ever finish things for other people. I can't focus or think straight anymore though, so I keep on injuring myself when trying to do things. Cut my finger open while being careless the other day, brushed it off and just waited for the blood to stop flowing so it wouldn't get on anything. Instead of working on any of these numerous projects, I'm sitting here drinking whiskey and hating myself. The only time I've been able to be at all productive and felt okay was when a friend gave me some adderall after a long shift at work, even though I've never had any sort of ADD problem and it was way too intense (I played Windwaker for 13 hours straight and got dehydrated to the point I kept licking my lips and didn't go to the bathroom or get up at all during that time). I feel like such a fucking mess. I just want to go out and nerd out in my chinese cartoon costumes. Or get involved in some of the j-fashion comms instead of just lurking all the time. Only positive is that I have been able to keep my body looking good and my skincare routine going in the hopes that I'll actually finish something, though I want to get thinner with some more muscle.

At least you have a bf. I'm too narcissistic to love anyone.
I just want to cosplay Ash and Misty with a qt boy, gdi.

I've said it a lot and I'll say it again and again. I think it's amazing and I wish there was a Sound Horizon tier orchestra / musical where all the music players are lolitas and the performers are cosplayers.
On another note got my IW order and it was everything I wanted it to be and better. I was worried for a bit because the blouse and JSK were black but the blouse was a bit darker. It looks alright though. The sweet letter they wrote in English made me smile too.

>>8974072
How did people react to finding out they were being utter shitbags?
I feel extremely fat, more than normal. I work out 10 hours a week or so, and have to be on a strict meal plan so I don't lose weight. It's just...I feel like a whale when my thighs rub together, or if I poke my stomach. I'm about 117 lbs and 5'6 now that I'm weight restored, and I just feel like a giant slab of blubber. I never had a thigh gap when I was in the hospital and dying. It's been 3 years since I was discharged from the ed clinic. They said I would never get better, but things might get easier. Well things haven't gotten better or easier. They said my growth might have been stunted--emotionally and physically. When I eat, I can feel the fat forming and attaching itself to me. Sometimes I just want to cut it all off.
My "friends" make fun of me. They don't know about my weight struggles, so they comment on how "thin" I am, which simultaneously makes me ecstatic and feeling like I want to cry. They make fun of how I look, my personality, everything.
I'm just really feeling sorry for myself atm, and needed to vent. Thank goodness for anonymous message boards where I can wallow in peace.
I posted a few threads back about a toxic cosplaying friend who talked behind my back, copy me and was condescending. I followed anon's advice to start distancing myself. Here's a quick update
>unfollow on social media (still fb 'friends' tho)
>start being more open, really enjoying myself, don't care if they say shit
>friends notice change
>fess up about issues with toxic friend
>everyone tells me they have problems with them too, like the same exact problem
>friends are really happy that I'm cutting ties and support me on it
>friend just now told me they posted a passive aggressive tweet on how they miss their old friends but and don't know why it broke up and how they can't go back or something
I'm feeling so happy and free now that I managed to get that stress out of my life and that friends are supporting me but I'm upset that it's happened to so many people, and that some are still putting up with it.
>>8974080
Get new friends. Seriously. You sound young, don't waste your time hanging around people you don't like
>>8973981
Why would you go through all the effort to repark the car whenever you were already near the entrance?
And start walking more. You'll notice a huge difference.
>>8973981
Idk why people are telling you to lose weight when idiots like rednecks think a petti means you're pregnant and have a fat ass
>>8974086
Kudos to you anon for being brave enough to cut the cancer out of your life! I wish I could do the same with my obsessive borderline stalker friend. I just don't reply to his messages anymore, but he still finds the need to comment on everything all the time.
Hopefully the other people in your creepy friend's life wise up soon too. The sad part is knowing they'll just leech on to someone else to fill the void you made. Scary.
Also, I wonder if you're the anon I talked to a while back about this? If not, I'm sorry for the mix up!
It's my birthday today and the only people who apparently know I exist are my parents. Most people didn't even send me a shitty Facebook message, which I know they do for others. The one person who did couldn't even be bothered to write 'happy birthday' and just wrote HBD instead.
Nobody from my comm cares either.
I feel like an insignificant little ghost.
>>8974176
I know it sucks, but we're all insignificant. All the birthday wishes in the world can't make you more significant and it doesn't make other people more than what you are beyond them being more socially active.
>>8974080
Ii really sorry that you are struggling, EDs are really tough to cope with. Please be proud that you exercise, eat carefully and have maintained a healthy weight. I think you should contact your doctor and let them know how you feel,see if you can get some support. There is a perception among a lot of people that once your weight is 'normal' your ED is cured and that's just not true- the physical battle is only half the war. It's also really difficult to be around people who don't know your history and think 'thin' is a goal everyone sees the same way or can safely aspire to. Please confide in someone and get some support to help change your thought patterns - CBT or Mindfulness could both help you. Please remember surviving an ED makes you a strong person, and now your body is strong too- please focus on the things your body can do, rather than how it looks.
>>8974080
If it helps, thigh gaps are only a possibility if you have the right hip shape for it, can't fight bone structure.
I hope you get to a point where you can feel comfortable in your own skin anon, sooner rather than later. Your freinds have no idea what you're going through, and are probably trying to use humor as a coping mechanism.

I just have numbness when it comes to her I felt context was needed idk if that makes me cold
>>8974239
Numbness is how we cope, anybody who calls you cold for numbing yourself to an obvious shitlord is also a shitstain.
>>8974243
Thanks friend. Most times I kinda bottle it up. But posting about struggling on fb and grateful for those there only to get "Don't bum me out." in a pm just threw me truth be told.
I'd unfriend the little twat but she's a giant drama llama that would blow it the fuck up forever.
>>8974111
Maybe! A few anons replied back to me last time, but at the same time I realize that this happens to quite a few people. If you were one of the anons that responded thank you so much for your advice!
I'm sorry that it's happening to you too! I know it's hard to cut ties with someone who still interacts with you, mine was easier because they didn't. Hopefully with time they drift off on their own trying to find someone else. I know friend that's in your position and is too nice to actually leave or ignore them. So she's just stuck there and I know it's taking a toll on her.
That's very true, people have already left them and each time they just find someone new to be their friend and it's just a never ending cycle.

Aww, happy birthday, anon!
Did you actually tell anyone it's your birthday? It's best to casually mention it about a week in advance. Most people don't keep tabs due to shitty memory - sadly including yours truly.
>>8974064
Avoid Lolita Updates, secondhand sites, etc. I was constantly buying before because it was a daily habit to search pages and pages of stuff for sale. I have slowed down so much since I stopped tempting myself by looking all the time. I understand not wanting to miss releases, but it's so much more important that you get your finances in order.
>>8974022
i'm glad about your order!
also it still makes me happy to see this again
>>8974176
Do you say happy birthday on other people's profiles? I don't get many on my wall because I am rarely on FB, so I'm not on people's radars. I also think it's much more meaningful to get a message rather than an obligatory "Happy birthday!" that they only left because FB reminded them.
>>8974460
I have no idea how. I can barely be fucked to get out of bed anymore.
It all started a few months back when I broke up with my gf. I felt okay at first, but after a few weeks, not so much.
>>8974176

Ignore the autistic ana chans. Normal people know that bullshit is uncalled for, white trash tends to defend white trash tho.
When I was younger, I really wanted to get into cosplay. Ended up giving it up around my late18th year when I realized it wasn't "right" for me. Didn't really regret it because I had other interests to pursue anyway.
Discovered Lolita in high school, and fell in love. However, 8 years later, it doesn't really make me happy anymore. I don't want to leave Lolita but I haven't even been wearing it and find my interest in it is fading. I'm not even that interested in clothes in general anymore. It just isn't fun. So I'm upset about that even if it sounds really stupid to other people.
Basically I grow out of all my hobbies and interests and life is boring and I have no purpose.
>>8974176
I know how you feel, I feel like a ghost all the time, even when I was a kid I felt like a ghost. I've never had any "real" friends and have spent most of my time alone. I'm an introvert but even this is too much for me. I hope you can have a good birthday despite nobody celebrating it with you.
Gonna contribute some good feels if it's okay
>wearing lolita 7+ years
>always dipping into different styles and never sticking
>finally settling into a few styles I love
>building a more solid wardrobe
>getting back into crafting and art
>feeling 1000x more confident in my coords than ever before
>making new lolita friends
I'm feeling good, probably better about wearing it than ever before. I feel like the magic of Lolita is bubbling up again and I'm really, really happy about it.
sad feel first
>work no longer gives me shifts at all
>apply to a ton of places, don't hear back from a single one
>currently waiting on a possible job through a friend, have no idea if it'll happen or not and it's a shitty job regardless but i need the money
>can't afford any cosplay supplies at all and feel like shit because i can't enjoy my only hobby, not to mention i can't afford day to day expenses which is the real pain in the ass
even sadder feels
>love bf, he's my best friend
>however, depression and anxiety + treatment over the course of our relationship has changed me as a person, not the same as i was when we met
>libido is complete kill
>occasionally feel attracted to other guys in more than i just 'think they're hot', tears me up inside as i love him, but the spark isn't there/not the same
>not sure if it's normal in a relationship to have things feel this way, sometimes very happy, othertimes worry that the relationship is dead, can't decide if i'm happy commited to him or not
>don't have friends i can speak to about it too as we're all too close (to me and bf) or they haven't been in a relationship as long as me and won't have perspective
it just fucking sucks. I don't know if i'm happy or not,and then i feel so incredibly guilty for even thinking about that kind of thing in the first place. I don't know how to handle never being sure about anything in my relationship :(
>making first "real" cosplay for upcoming con
>saved the hardest for last like an idiot
>have to style a wig for the first time

Well RIP that cosplay for a week, it's a good thing I'm not going to A-kon like I planned to.
>>8974781
It's normal to have a wandering eye and feel hot and cold, anon. As long as you can keep it in your pants it's perfectly fine. However, I urge you to think whether you're really happy with him if the spark just isn't there and you don't feel sexually attracted to him anymore. It could open the door to many other problems, and it might be that the relationship has simply come to its natural end, which also happens a lot.
I feel the same and I've already discussed it with my bf, and we're planning to end it when we're not both in a financial dump (since we've lived together for 4 years now) so it's not as hard on us as it would be now.
Take your time to think about it, it's ultimately your call. People change over time and that's okay. Also consider if it's maybe some other factors contributing to your negative feelings - are you stressed out? Are you low on money? In my mother tongue there's a saying, 'Poverty at the door, love out the window'.
>>8973981
I knew some guys like that (their go-to insult was 'fat bitch').
One of them got his half-sister pregnant and the other is a dog hoarder. Don't worry about the white trash.
Usually play dress up in my room at night on my days off. I only got one fucking day off this week and I have to work 42 hours starting tomorrow at fucking 6am.
Turns out my land lord is coming over so I have to dress all normie and look "appropiate" because the land lord is some old chinese guy who is all modest and uptight and keeps raising the fucking rent.
I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE INTERFERING WITH MY FREE TIME I JUST WANT TO WEAR LOLITA BY MYSELF WHAT THE FUCK.
>>8974078
Most just stopped replying. The ones that kept arguing with me kept being asses about it but eventually gave up too. One of the assholes even called me
a "retarded irrelevant bitch" before blocking me. I laughed.
>>8974267
Your friend and I are totally one and the same! It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in this, but it sucks that so many other people are going through this. It's such an awful experience, and you're right, it does take a toll on you! Thank you for your words of encouragement. Hopefully I can push him away just enough for him to realize we're not best friends and that he needs to leave me alone.
>>8974018
I'm also narcissistic, I find the girls I go out with are too clingy. After one or two dates they're texting me hearts and shit.
>after summer no more study finances from government
>have to fully loan the money from the government (but bf doesn't want me to because I already have a small loan from them) or have to go really minimum for me, which means I pay my study from savings (actually for Tokyo) and my bf pays for the rest (not much, healthcare is partly financed by the state too)

Aw anon, I feel you with the thighs rubbing together thing, and the eating making you feel yourself gaining weight. I'm about 5'6" and 130 ish? Most of my weight is in my thighs, seriously when I did track in hs I looked like Chun-Li. I admire you for how dedicated you are to staying healthy! I am too lazy to work out despite how badly I want to put on more muscle.
But I think you should also shift some focus to making yourself happy. The happier you are with your life and the things you do the less you will focus on your weight. If you do not feel comfortable with your friends, just let yourself drift away from them. One thing you will learn is that you don't need to keep poisonous people in your life. If you are not getting anything from a relationship then you can simple end it. Do not put up with shit like that, you deserve better and you should treat yourself as if you do. Plus, there is nothing more fun than making new friends! Please just remember that thigh gaps honestly do not exist except in a very specific body type. Girls have such a lovely shape to their body, and it is very amazing to see how many shapes and sizes they come in. I like to think of us all as flowers, down to the stretch marks and colors and size differences, but in the end we are all something beautiful.
>>8974680
That usually does it for me, but not lately.
I'm fucking capital-D Depressed. I can push myself all I want, but nothing's going to come out. I'm empty.
I need to fix myself before I can even try to get back into cosplay.
I miss my girlfriend.

I don't know if it is normal or not. I just know that the lows/dead points of my relationship were enough to make me seriously unhappy, sad, and unsatisfied. Even the fun points didn't counter it. That's when I knew I had to end it.
so my friend has a new GF who is a cosplayer, and im super happy for him, but shes kinda starting to annoy me. She is kinda super elitist and my friends and I are super laid back, buy it if you wanna buy it, do it cuz you like it, whatever.
>>friends gf palns to cosplay something I am also planning at same con
>>is super obsessed with not wearing it the same day
>>I dont care, it wont bother me
>>shes obsessed bc I have more of the correct body style, according to friends who talk with her about it
>>no one cares, do it cuz you like the chara
>>tried to make sure i'm not doing it the day she wants to do it
>>fine, I wont, but I'm not doing this bs everytime if this happens again
I'm annoyed bc I feel like shes bringing drama. like, I dont give a crap about you or your cosplays. I'll do what I want on whatever day and same to you. If you're the one thats worried that I'll look better, that's your personal problem, not mine. It wouldnt matter so much, but we arent really friends and my friends don't care about crap like this. Like, we'll just be like "haha, lets take selfies and do stupid crap together since we dressed the same"
I did a cinderella cosplay and there were 3 others cinderella cosplayers and I took a selfie with everyone of them. no one cares.
She also only spends like, 30 min at the con in cosplay so iu don't know why shes so obsessed and freaked out. She annoyed me on another matter and I kinda want to be like, "Changed my mind :)" and dress the same chara but I don't want to be a dick to my friend.
>been working on a costume for about a year
>lots of research, pattern altering, custom printed fabrics, it's the most in-depth I've gone for cosplay
>Month or so before the con, random cosplayer puts out a tutorial for her version of the costume I've been working on
>Huh, she used the same patterns I used and the same fabrics, smart girl
>Suddenly EVERYONE making this costume is using those patterns and fabrics

I kind of feel happy for him, he was one of the very few people who understands my mindset, and it's probably for the best that he's been pulled back into the world of normality by this girl, but at the same time that leaves me very much alone on the outskirts. I don't mind the loneliness, but none of my other con friends have the craftsmanship or creative thinking for me to properly brainstorm and bounce ideals off of them.

Why? Why can't I find it? Why do I care so much?
>>8975503
Ahhhh I found it!!!! It was still on the socks!!! Idk what that noise was!!! I hope it wasn't a spooky ghost!!! Yaaaaaaaay!
Bought dream dress in black. Wake up at 5am realising its not actually my preferred colourway even though I know I would break out in a sweat everytime I wore the Ivory version in case I stained it thus consigning it to a life in my closet. Aaargh. I did the right thing why do I feel so sad.
>>8975398
just do it. fuck that bitch. she'll be seeing other people cosplay that character at the con anyways.
There's this one girl from my town that I've been friends with for 7 years or so. She's been more into cosplay than me, but in the past few years, I've gotten into the hobby and am making my own cosplays while she still buys most of hers (not really relevant).In high school, I knew someone that was stalking her and another friend, and helped her get proof by screenshotting convos from said stalker. A few months go by and I realized that I started to like her in a romantic way. I had always considered myself hetero, and I never really found myself attracted to females. I brushed off my feelings since she was in a long distance relationship with someone else. Time went on and I eventually left my home town for college while she went off to a nearby art school, but we still kept in touch pretty often through facebook. One day, she deactivated her fb account out of the blue. All of my friends were unable to see her fb account and cosplay page as well. She still posts on DA and occasionally tumblr, so I'm pretty sure she's okay. I've tried reaching out to her recently but still haven't heard back... We always got along really well, but I get a feeling that she secretly found me a bit annoying. I really miss talking to her and she was my last female friend that I was still really close to.
>>8975471
aw, you ok buddy? wanna talk about it?
sometimes shit like that happens for no reason and it's so frustrating and everything sucks, but it fades a lot eventually. it gets better.
>dead best friend's birthday was a week ago
>had a crush on him basically forever
>surprisingly upset despite it having been 5 years
>>8975503
Anon I think you might have a problem. I'm not being mean or insensitive, but if you're that worried about losing the toe clasp from a pair of socks, you might need to talk to someone. Sounds like anxiety manifesting through your wardrobe.
>>8975704
Seconding this.
Baby steps anon, but you should think about how you're managing stress and look into living with compulsive disorders. Even if you don't have one, it might help you like it did me.

It's not like it isn't true anon. Gotta be honest with your folks man, jeez.
>>8975764
Its funny because i actually hate the cat girl trope. I usually just tell him "Nah, but i hear gerbils are all the rage now" and he usually laughs about it. Bastard actually had the gall to ask me if i had heard of "those crazy japanese ship girls"

>>8975704
Interesting. I didn't come back here expecting to read such comments. It's funny that you both brought it up, actually. I do have diagnosed anxiety. I've always wondered about having compulsive issues, but I always felt like the things I do are too small to qualify. When I was a teenager I used to wash my hands like crazy. Just coming in from outside made my hands feel extremely dirty, even if I didn't touch anything. I made myself stop washing so much, because my hands were getting dry and raw.
I also always have to give my boyfriend a hug and a kiss before he leaves due to being worried that he'll die while he's gone and I won't be able to kiss him again.
I can never say "good bye" to people, because when I was a kid I watched Road to el Dorado and they had that "best friends never say good bye" song, so I'm worried that if I say the phrase "good bye" I'll never see them again.
I always have to tell everyone who leaves my home to be safe, or else I worry that they'll act restlessly and die. With my boyfriend I used to say it several times even after her left the house, just in case he didn't hear me.
I've developed some sort of infrequent binge eating issue when I'm really anxious. I literally feel like I can not stop eating, even if I'm in pain. It's hard to wait ten minutes to eat during these episodes. Usually the only happen like once a month or less.
Sorry for talking so much, I guess I just was hoping to see if any of this stuff sounds like what you're both talking about. It's just stuff that sticks out to me as abnormal and kind of compulsive I guess.
Anyway, for another feel.

>>8976069
you know you're on the right track when she spins into damage control mode. keep it up
Posting a pathetic feeling because it's a Saturday and I'm locked in my house all alone with nothing to do.
The last few years, I've been using Lolita as a way to cope with being socially isolated. I have no friends. I can't even make friends online. Lolita started becoming a glimmer of happiness for me when I was left feeling isolated. It makes me feel like a character from a story. Admittedly, it doesn't work very well, but it's one of the only things I have to at least feel like I'm "special" instead of feeling unwanted. The worst part is I hardly even wear Lolita because it's a little uncomfortable and I don't want to wear it just sit around my house. I don't even like CGL. I'm only here because lately I've felt lonelier than I can handle.
I'm such a waste of air. At least I can leave nice comments to other people and maybe make their day a little better.
>>8976059
I've been there, anon. Managed to stop out of sheer willpower as well. You can do it!
>>8976059
Know that feel anon. I've been picking at my earlobe piercings lately and its getting to the point that it hurts to wear my kawaii jfash earrings.
My compulsions always flare up when I'm stressed about other stuff, so they kinda serve as a warning sign to start taking better care of my mental health lest I fall off the deep end again. Good luck fellow picker.
>>8976059
Oh, and when I was rreally young my psychologist recommended getting a styrofoam wig head to pick at instead of my scalp. When I got older the same wig head was used for storing cosplay wigs lol. But maybe give that a try if you need a way to keep your hands busy?
My friends/internet acquaintances will ask me for cosplay advice and do a real shit job with what I said to do. Then they come back to me asking how my end product was so nice but theirs was bad when they did ~exactly the same thing~.
I hate that I can't say "Because your work was bad! None of your cuts were in straight lines and you rushed everything! And you made cheap substitutions for no reason!"
But no I guess my tutorials and advice were just misleading somehow despite showing literally exactly what to fucking do.
>>8976083
It's similar for me. I'm really, really bad at making friends, wouldn't even know where to start find somebody who lives in my area and isn't known for being a nut case or drama queen. I do have a few friends online and a super lovely Lolita friend, but she lives hours away.
It would so great to have a Lolita friend near me, heck any friend that isn't a nut case and shares my interests would be great.
I really want to cosplay again, but I'm just not in good enough shape to do it and not feel horrible about myself, and it's really hard to find enough time and energy to cook healthy food, stick to an exercise routine, etc. It was so easy to stay /fit/ when I was in my late teens, I could eat whatever I wanted and just go jogging every day, but now it's a constant struggle not to gain weight.
It doesn't help that it's hard to find costumes that would fit me even were I skinny/fit again, either. 20-30 something men are kinda rare in anime these days, they're usually not characters I'm interested in, and when I do find one I like, the costume is usually super generic clothes that don't look like cosplay.
>>8975702
Damn, I thought for a second your dead best friend was my dead friend, because he was a cosplayer and his birthday was last week too, but he only died last year.
Still stings pretty bad, and I feel horrible because I wasn't able to make it to the funeral. (It was a six hour drive away and I would have had to leave at like 4AM to make it in time, and had work until after 10 the night before.)
>>8975760
Hah, my dad actually brings anime stuff up all the time when I talk to him, he's actually watched a bit himself. It's really weird when he brings up some movie or show and I'm like "wtf, you watched that?"
He doesn't know what kind of 2D girls I'm into, though, and I don't think he'd understand at all, let's say he's an Angelina Jolie kind of guy and I'm more into the Keira Knightleys.
>>8976059
I have trich so I do that as well Anon. It's annoying when you want to concentrate on something else but just get distracted by it. I try not to actually pull hairs out, my hair is already terribly thin because of 10+ years of pulling, but I can't seem to stop picking my scalp and splitting hairs. What usually helps me is to keep my hands busy (playdough works really well) but you can't do that all the time. If you find yourself picking without realising the most important part is to train yourself to take notice and actively stop, it's hard but really helps. Also don't say to yourself "oh well I already started might as well continue" stop yourself in the middle of picking, by any means possible, in order to break the habit. Also, let your friends and family know. It's embarrassing but they will help you stop.
>>8976069
if you have the energy, block people from posting on your timeline without your permission and nuke the pictures one by one by reporting them to facebook and saying 'they're pictures of me and I don't want them up' or whatever the option's called. you're doing great anon, stay strong!
>>8976118
mine wasn't a cosplayer or anything (knew him before my cgl phase began, we were childhood friends), but I went to the funeral and it was so shit. his grandparents insisted open casket which made the parents not come in until they closed the casket and the person talking about him was so shit, knew nothing and everything was so bad. my mother felt like she had to talk because of that and everyone said she basically saved the whole memory of the event for them.
he was referred to as the little prince afterwards so now I can't read that fucking book ever without becoming a sobbing mess.
>>8976075
It's getting bad, too. Posted a picture of myself with Starbucks yesterday and got five messages about how she knew I was going to give up after a week.
I literally got a hot black tea. And she was ready to begin gloating. I'm not one to do the weh mommy issues, but she is the reason I'm a whale.
>>8976145
Block your mother, holy shit.
I'm sick of lending money to people and them not making it a priority to pay me back no matter how many times I remind them. Makes me feel stingy but I'm working my ass off to be able to buy the things I want and it would be nice if the people I was lending money to appreciated that.
>>8976117
I'm sorry to hear you're in a similar situation. Social isolation quite literally can kill a person, so it's awful to hear anyone feels that way. But at least you have some online friends though, that's a good thing and a positive to try focusing on. I live in an area where finding anyone to be friends with is impossible too. I can't even really hook up with anyone I went to school with because everyone thought I was weird and didn't want to be friends, and anyone who wasn't a druggie moved out of this little shithole town to go to college or they are having kids and getting married. I'm so scared that I'm never going to find a friend and end up trudging through life all alone and miserable.
>>8976147
You see I would, but I live like ten minutes from her and I don't want to deal with this shit face to face because I'm 1) a pussy and 2) she scares the shit out of me. I haven't told my husband she's doing this because that fight is the last thing I need.
>>8976059
Why is your scalp so dry?? I couldn't pick a flake from my head if I tried (and I just did). Maybe you need to get a different shampoo. idk.
This sounds exactly like me and my nail-biting though.
>>8976145
You got two options, anon.
1. Block her like >>8976147 said
2. Spin this back on her in the best way possible. Tell her some bullshit about your doctor suggesting you lose some weight because of your health and make a post about it on your FB. It's not a lie, doctors for general check-ups usually tell you "Hey, you might want to consider getting healthy because of the diabetes and all these other health concerns with being overweight" and if you post publicly about it, she's less likely to say shit because it's one thing for your mother to publicly go "Oooh but I think my daughter is beautiful the way she is, look at her!" but quite another for her to anyway look like she wants you to risk heart problems, diabetes, etc by staying overweight.
If you do this option, just be very careful to word it so you're doing it to follow doctor's advice or you'd taking the doctor's advice to lower your risk of all these common problems that overweight patients have. That way it comes off very strongly as MUH MEDICAL HEALTH so anything your mother says to sabotage you/make you feel bad comes off as her being a huuuuuge bitch.
>>8975342
Do it, anon.
>>8976153
Face it, it is gonna last until the rest of her life unless you stand for it. Be a pussy and stay suffering, or deal with it and grow out of that horrible part of your life.

Are you me, anon?
One of my best childhood friends is a slutty club girl who teaches piano for a living in some boggy shithole, the other's the town bike with 2 kids out of wedlock (that she doesn't take care of). My only two guy friends from then are now a travelling homosexual and a priest, respectively. My secondary school friends have turned into fat genderqueer xe/xum SJWs and banished me from their lives (bullet dodged, at least). One is studying in the UK and posts dumb fandom shite occasionally.
I'm in a foreign country where people aren't exactly known for being social so unless you go to the same parties/events as the others they're not interested in you. I've a total of three friends now, two of whom I meet up with once a year, third one's Polish and doesn't speak English all that well but at least she likes tea and resin crafts.
I'm not getting any younger, I just want some friends already.
>>8976238
Why don't you make some?
>>8976257
I moved across the country and had to leave my machine at home. Also I've never done spandex. Or any clothes. I'll sew you a wicked stuffed animal though.

You could always buy a pair in white and RIT dye them?
>>8974022
aww. I know them feels. It's so great to see cosplayers do skits who actually know how to use the stage well and have prepared themselves to perform. Maybe it's just the cons I've gone to, but it seems like such a rare thing at masquerades - idk, idgi sometimes because all of my cosplay and lolita friends have been a part of some kind of amateur theatre like community and/or at school, but then almost everyone I see at masquerades are awkwardly upstaging each other or speaking too loudly on the mics or trying to improvise, but don't even understand the concept of "yes and" and try to shoehorn internet jokes. It's so cringy that I gave up going to those.

>>8974781
I'm in the same job situation. I did get a job, but back for the company that laid me off in the first place. I've been out of work for 10 weeks and been rejected after every interview I could get. What sucks is that I've gotten to the point of having a "beggars can't be choosers" mentality, so I'll take it especially since I've finally deferred my loans (which I promised myself not to do), but since I'm back with my folks, my mother especially disapproves with me going back there in spite of the hours not running as late as my old position.
>>8976286
Well heck I didn't know Rit could be used on those materials. I'll give it a shot worst case.

suck his diiiiiick anon
Is it normal to be kind of afraid of people shouting or hovering over your shoulder? I work retail now and I have to look up certain components on a computer when the customer comes in with a request. And a lot of them like to hang over the desk and look at the computer screen to see what I'm doing, and it just makes me very anxious. My parents used to fight a lot when I was a kid, or yell at me, and I spent a lot of time hiding behind couches or under my bed. Is this normal?
On a more /cgl/ related note, the sheet masks I ordered came in way quicker than I thought they would! I've never tried Freeset Donkey Milk masks before so I decided to splurge a bit on this time's sheet mask haul. I'm excited to try them out.
>>8975845
Definitely look into seeing someone, anon. Preferably someone who focuses on talk-based therapy first and foremost. It sounds like you could use someone to discuss coping mechanisms with (as opposed to getting medicated).
You'll feel better for it, I think.

You two are the best anons.
I'm slowly going through each photo and saving them as well as reporting them. (They're selfies from high school, and most are with a friend who has since passed away.) And I posted about medical shit.
Frankly, she's a narcissist who is probably still going to give me a little grief, but this will cut it down exponentially.
Thanks!

She made my FaceBook when I was, fuck, 14?? Maybe?
I still use it because that's where my friends and family are. If I block her, I won't be able to contact my two younger siblings.
I don't want to get into the BUT MUH CHILDHOOD but, basically, my choice is keep her or don't see my siblings.
14:1"Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. 14:2In my Father's house are many mansions. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 14:3If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. 14:4Where I go, you know, and you know the way."
14:5Thomas says to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?"
14:6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 14:7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him."
14:8Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."

Anon. Make yourself a new Facebook page or create separate friends group. Lock down your Facebook so the only stuff she sees is the stuff you want her to see. Also, keep her on your friends list but stop following her. That way you actively have to go to her page to see the crap she's posting instead of it clogging your feed.

Goodbye lolita I guess? I'm trying out compression tights soon to see if they help, so maybe I can work ugly medical tights into my coord or something.
>>8976882
Yooo anon I have this too, shit sucks but I have coped with it in lolita fashion for about four years now. Here's some advice for you:
-Explain your condition to close friends/those you'd be interacting with at meetups or cons. You don't have to go into excruciating detail but saying "I need frequent breaks to sit for just a couple of minutes" will go a long way. Sometimes this means changing plans when the plans don't include some way for you to rest, but people have been very accommodating with me so they might be with you too. Surround yourself with people who don't suck.
-Stay hydrated!! This will help with overheating and heart palpitations. Also, taking sodium supplements will help with water retention so you're not constantly needing to pee (unless you have other dietary restrictions of course).
-Don't get discouraged! Things will change, but you don't have to stop wearing lolita because of it.
I always feel kind of left out at cons since I stopped cosplaying. I try to be super supportive of my friends (one in particular since she does the most), always willing to hold bags for photos, watch for costume malfunctions, help with touch-ups etc. but then I get largely ignored when they meet other cosplayers from the community, or outright ditched for photoshoots and comp stuff. I understand I can't tag along for all of it, but I really hate hanging around cons by myself like a loner. I usually just end up going home instead.
>>8976813
Thanks, I am.
>>8976883
Thank you, it's really comforting to hear that someone else can make work with lolita. I've only just been diagnosed recently and was really active before that so it's been a huge adjustment. I'm seeing a cardiologist who is more familiar with the condition in May so hopefully I'll get more advice on what helps. I'll definitely try the sodium, even though I drink a minimum of 3L a day, I don't seem to be retaining any extra. Do compression tights help a lot? I'm scared to drop $100 on tights unless they help.

I might be overreacting because I'm tired and in a bad mood because pain, but am I wrong in thinking that was pretty inconsiderate of her? Ugh, whatever.
>>8976517
it's not really normal but I kinda have that. I have issues with people grabbing my shoulders from the behind or covering my eyes, and generally hovering over my back. I was volunteering at a sports event and the courts were separated with nets (no walls) and the chick volunteering with me left to go to the bathroom or something. apparently she felt like the way to announce she was back was to grab my shoulders from behind and shake.
shouting, too - angry shouting makes my mind kinda switch off and I get really quiet.
>>8976703
aw, thanks anon. I'm glad I could help, and I hope your mother realises how shitty she is, no matter how unlikely it is.
>>8976882
Another lolita with POTS here. It's totally possible to wear lolita with a few adjustments. Listening to your body and keeping an eye on your vitals can make a big difference.
-compression stockings are awesome, and compression arm gauntlets and stomach compression.
-bring emesis bags and nausea suppressants (if you have gastro symptoms)
-plan a few days before and after a meetup to take it easy
-don't be afraid to use a wheelchair if necessary, it might feel confining but it's way better then passing out in public

Man I'll never understand how people can ask to borrow money unless if its an emergency. I only ever borrow money from my boyfriend but he always is the one that offers to help me buy stuff. And he's kinda my boyfriend. I would feel too weird asking to borrow money from friends.

>feels compelled to help others with costumes more than own
I know where you're coming from. I've got, maybe, 5-6 incomplete projects that can be continued at any time but somehow I dissuade myself to do other things (literally, procrastinate), yet I can sew up someone else's costume lickity-split, so.. yeah, I feel ya.
Heck, maybe we should just work on one another's costumes and then problem solved, heheh. Note, I too take adderall time to time whenever I need that boost to get up in the morning. If you do want to get on it (or if your doctor recommends it), there's a slow release ver, that or you can take a tiny dose (which I sometimes opt for).
Take'er easy on the hooch too, eh. This is playing dress up we're talking about here, 'nothing to get bent out of shape over. Also I'm hoping you're drinking something Canadian (Canadian Club, woot woot).

Hopefully this gets easier over time.
I only ever wanted a friend that I can cosplay with, do stupid shit at cons or atleast talk about animu and vidya but everyone in this country is either a giant pleb or just seeking for attention.
Only person that came close to being a good friend was my ex and even with her I could only somewhat talk about vidya and animu

Good luck anon, both with your mother and your weight loss! Keep us up to date please!
>>8976059
Maybe you can redirect it?
(a bit NSFW)
I have trich and I used to pull out hair from my head, but then I redirected head hair to my pube hair. It relaxes me, and it gets me nice and clean down there. No more bald patches on my head, and I don't have to pay for waxes anymore.
>>8976069
>patronizing posts about how "BEEYOOTEFULL" you are when they're shit pictures that you know aren't flattering
Same shit happened to me just last night anon. One of my jealous ex friends noticed I was having a good day with my friends yesterday. She's a miserable shit 24/7 so she hates it when she sees me happy. So during some ungodly hour, like 1am, she ninja-posted this ugly, unflattering pic of me from five years ago on my wall saying "teehee look what I found!!" Fortunately I got home in time to catch it quick and it was only up for 20 minutes. I just deleted it without question, she's disabled from posting pics to my wall without me seeing it first.

You have less social status in cosplay communities because you don't cosplay anymore. So in turn hanging out with you doesn't garner them as much social status by being around you anymore.
>shoppingshopping secondhand
>see item I want to buy
>decent price, good condition, awesome!

It's not that the seller is disreputable, but I know her personally, and find her incredibly unpleasant, and interacting with her is tiresome in the extreme.
I also don't want to give money to her condescending ass. Blah.
>>8975342
You can save money by skipping acen. It's a shit con for lolitas.
>>8977624
Oh anon, I'm sorry. I know going to your first meetup alone is scary, especially if you're very shy, but you can do it. Try talking to the other girls before the meetup (on facebook or whatever), maybe even be upfront about the fact you're shy and nervous if you can manage that, you might be surprised to find out just how forgiving and welcoming they are. You never know, you may end up making some new friends who like the fashion just as much as you do.

just pull your photographer aside for a minute and let them know what the deal is and ask if they can deal with it in post processing. as a photographer i'm more than happy to get rid of little things that people have no control over and i don't know any other togs who won't do it, so you should be fine.

Time to get a different boyfriend anon. I would if mine ever suggested it, that shit is gross.

I really would like to go to acen this year as I work guest relations for a different con and want to attend the industry event. I missed the opportunity last year as the group I left with arrived late Thursday. This will be my first year attending it. Also, I planned on working some hours at our booth. I just think I'll wait until after everything is said and done at acen to see where my finances are at. I'd like to be able to pay either half or all of the card payment. I do have $300 set aside for acen but will have another $100 or more by the time it rolls around. I don't plan on buying much merch if at all.
>>8978359
Or maybe just talk to him about it.
My boyfriend wanted to RP some weird shit with lolita once and I explained to him why I was uncomfortable with it. He never brought it up again.
If your bf keeps pushing the topic after you've tried to explain to hm like an adult why you're not okay with it, then that's an entirely different story and dumping his ass becomes a better option.
>>8978537
fuck off robot
>>8978359
Oh, get a boyfriend? Just get a boyfriend? Why don't I strap on my boyfriend helmet and squeeze down into a boyfriend cannon and fire off into boyfriend land, where boyfriends grow on little boyfriendies?!
Why did no one tell me that Nairing your lady-parts is such a horrendous idea???
I just wanted to avoid "steel wool" with my Cammy cosplay, and I swear I took off a chunk of my clit. I had no idea I could scream so loud. I nearly deafened myself.
It still burns when I touch it, the next damn day. The con is this weekend. Holy shit, what if my vag is still a wreck by then? I can't walk all weekend with this raw mess between my legs.
>>8978623
Surprisingly, the stuff that is strong enough to melt hair is bad to get on your sensitive bits.
Put some icy hot on the area to help with the soreness.
>>8978623
Put some topical antibiotics and anti-inflammation ointment on the affect area and gauze that shit. And remember to wax next time.
>>8978623
Hey I'm a dude so your mileage may vary, but I found that the "magic" shaving powder (for black dudes to use on their face) works perfectly on my junk (which is white, incidentally). I was scared because I also know that naired-balls war zone feel, but everything turned out fine.

I've had this happen to me, and yeah, this post has it about right.
If you're comfortable enough to do it, I'd go commando the whole time and wear long skirts or dresses if you have them, even cotton is going to rub and make it worse.

... What?
That story took a sudden 180.
>>8978555
That joke doesn't really work if the task in question is just as easy as the cannon idea.
In fact I'd say it's actually way easier for women to get a boyfriend the typical way. Finding a cannon and having to go somewhere else would be harder than just sitting around and waiting for one to come to you.

I'm >>8978359
And honestly I don't think I could look at my boyfriend again if I found out he was fetishizing my clothes. It just makes my stomach turn.
I wouldn't want to wear lolita around him ever again, and it's pretty much all I wear at this point. So I'd either have to drop my fashion or drop my boyfriend. One is far more replaceable and cost me a lot less money.
That's just me though, you can obviously do whatever you want. If you can put him most likely jerking off to thoughts of you being a little loli then more power to you.

I feel the same as you anon, i thought i was the only one. I don't have anywhere to go on Saturdays, most of the time i go out alone in the late afternoon, the friends i have are too far away or we don't talk a lot (maybe i should contact them more), the only person that dress lolita is so far away and she cannot travel anytime near my town due to money. I would like to ask her to come with me in a very important con to wear some special lolita outfits at least, because my life is so boring and sad thinking others have friends that enjoy lolita, cosplay or have a bf, the closest people i have are so far away so online.
I feel the pain to not going anywhere this summer except going out alone in the afternoon. And i fear to wear lolita alone, simple jfashion is fine.
Lolita at least make me feel a bit alive, but i wear it not so much.
Have a hug anon, you aren't alone!We need really a fb group for super lone lolitas to share outfits and positive thoughts.
>>8978623
Next time you want to get hair off your coochie, I suggest you get a men's razor and shaving with baby oil. Men's razors are made for the face, and thus more sensitive skin. Baby oil helps prevent razor bumps and burn. Slather with cocunut oil when you're done
>>8979080
>honestly I don't think I could look at my boyfriend again if I found out he was fetishizing my clothes. It just makes my stomach turn.
Why?

Bikini Zone is also great for preventing razor bumps after shaving.

I fell you two, I dont go out, I have one friend but we dont hang out and she isnt into lolita anyway. I sit on my butt looking at dresses I like and realized yesterday that literally the only drive I have is to have money to buy more dresses and the want to look cute.
I want to wear it everyday but it takes so long to acquire so many pieces, and im a fatty-chan that is trying to lose weight but fails because sometimes I cant even make it out of bed without great effort.
I joined my local comm lately though and they posted about their next meet, Im going to try to go, but im afraid the little lolita I have will be awful and ill be shamed.
>>8979124
No idea. It's just a major red flag for me and I wouldn't deal with it. We all have dealbreakers, and that is one of mine.
Cosplay and drawing have been my only escape for these past few years, but now I can't summon the energy to do either. I can barely get out of bed anymore, and even then it's only for work. Thank god I actually like my job for the first time in years.
I just want to cosplay and draw, but I can barely muster the will to do a damn thing.
>>8979095
>Next time you want to get hair off your coochie
NO, NEVER AGAIN.
>>8979144
My drive is similar to yours, i just buy clothing ( fornow not lolita just jfashion casual items) cosmetics and other shit i want for pamper myself. I know about getting many pieces is a long process, i need to buy plain lolita skirts to wear un-lolita (no petti, cutsew, confy shoes). I cannot wear full lolita alone but at least wearing a lolita skirt is something.
I have a friend that she is worse than me, she doesn't go out with anyone since always, she isn't a lolita.
I really suggest to go in that meet, get a good coord and good luck to meet new lolita friends!
I'm seriously considering cosplay friends instead lolita friends locally, these aren't that hard to find and maybe join them to lolita. I cannot waste my time to get dresses i would never wear or just for pics.

Hoping I'm not gonna be murdered or something for being a shallow normalfag. I already feel kind of vain wearing lolita unless it's very toned down, the last thing I need is some crazy kid with a grudge against me, who likely thinks I'm a huge sinner.

Haha, I love when women accidentally say what they are thinking all the time.
It kinda fucked up that you are even with your boyfriend when you consider him 'replaceable'
>>8979396
Chill. Not everybody dates in order to find true fairytale love and get married and have children.
>>8979396
I don't believe in 'the one', I love him just as much as I loved my exes. And if we broke up I would love another person too.
I find it weird how people tie their emotional wellbeing into the presence of another person to the point where they'll put up with things which make them miserable, or disgusted, or angry. Like that anon with the bf that didn't shower for like a month, or the anons with bfs that don't clean up after themselves or get jobs, or the anons who deal with boyfriends who openly hate on their fashion/hobbies.
Call it fucked up if you like, but everyone is replaceable.
>>8979418
Nice projection lol
Just because no one cares about you doesn't mean no girl cares about their bf
>>8979418

I'll give you that, it's just not a principle that everyone is comfortable living by. If my bf died tomorrow sure I could "replace" him with someone similar, but it will never be the same. Truth is some people want to believe that they are special because it feels good to have a "place" in someone's life. Others don't find that very important.

Guys like that typically look for far-stretching reasons to justify why they don't have partners.

>all women only love shopping and getting their nails did

It's like women who are failures at dating who blame men for their shortcomings. It's super cringey, and worst of all these people actually believe they're making valid points when all they're doing is advertising how insecure in their loneliness they are.

>we even smoked in lolita together
>mfw I can probably hop on a plane and see her a few times a year but it's way shittier than just being able to drive 20 minutes or seeing her at meetups anymore
Yes I've seen some! My fav is Venus she is too kawaiii
And I don't like a girl that just makes fun of Lolitas because she is never able to pull out some real work by herself Supercarly 64 she is just too obnoxious

Well, it sounds like you've at least learned something about yourself. I hope you're able to break your habit - it's hard, but it's so much better on the other side (I used to be there too).

>Been with gf for 2.5 years
>Last week find out that i might not pass a certain class which prevents me from graduating as planned
>Haven't told my parents yet
>Tell girlfriend, she feels terrible
>Last night tells me she has a surprise
>Come home from work to see her dressed in her Fuuka swimsuit from Colossal last year
>She says she doesn't want to "mess it up" but she couldn't think of anything more "special"
>Tell her to take it off and save it for my birthday
>Order pizza and watch the first two P3 movies instead
honestly I've never been sold on "cosplay in bed" but i'm glad she's doing her best.

I wish my boyfriend would order pizza and watch anime movies with me. He's supportive of my hobby, but he himself is more into video games and alternative sports.

>all women care about is a mans money
I must be a man then because my bf has like no money and how funny, I still love him! I pay for just about everything we do and get and it doesnt bother me at all because he makes me happy and loved.
I buy all my own dresses and I would feel bad if he bought them, theyre expensive!
Im happy enough when he manages to buy a video game we both wanted to play, I dont expect him to shower me with money, I am an adult.
