/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>2 part feels
>friends with goth lolita and another girl thinking about getting into it
>see the stuff the one wears, pictures they post, and when they talk about it.
>feeling slightly jealous that as women they can dress in such varied, cool, and pretty ways.
>guess it's another day of slacks and button ups, with the occasional jeans on weekends.

>2nd part
>Think the girl who wants to get into it is really cute, and enjoy seeing how happy she is thinking about starting.
>she's a mess of low self esteem, combined with low income, which means she constantly doubts herself and keeps putting it off.
>want to encourage her, but understand her reasons, even though I think her low self image is silly because she's so cute, with great interest.
>know a lot of them come form her previous relationship and verbal/emotional abuse so just let her be and try to be encouraging and listen when she talks about it or sends me pictures.

I don't even know. I kind of feel like she'd be real happy getting into something she's wanted to for a while, but I also fear the community and her own high standards may just make her self image issues worse.
