/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I don’t think so. The first step is admitting that there’s a problem more than anything else. I feel like complaining about an issue just leads to nowhere, I’ll take a recent example I saw a few months ago.

There’s like this one person in our social circles who keeps complaining about how she’s lonely despite having an online boyfriend and how she has a dead end job at target, can’t get anywhere and she’s pushing her mid 30’s. So a few strangers gave her practical advice like how to set up a bank account, get a car, how to advance up the job ladder, etc. Standard text book shit that just led to her whining and making excuses about how she couldn’t do any of that. I fucking kept out of that issue because I’ve personally dug myself out of shit situations before, and my first response is always self intervention before anything else. Anyways this fucking person went on a FOUR FUCKING DAY LONG THREAD bitching about her life and side stepping practical advice to a point where a buddy DM’d me going “you got to fucking check this out bro.”

I think what makes it worst is that she tried to petition me for advice on how to make props for cosplay and the only thing I could tell her was “get a real job, cosplay is the last thing you should be focusing on if you can barely pay rent.” And she was just taken aback by it.


Anyways I don’t disagree with bitching being a form of venting but I strongly believe that if you want to improve yourself or move forward, the first step is realizing that there is a problem. Second is obviously setting up a game plan and the third is learning that failure is fun and that you pick up new tricks to make your game plan work. Then you realize self improvement is literally the best / worst korean mmorpg you’ve ever played.
