/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I got major attention in the feels thread month back. Today all of the good advice finally paid off. I have bangs now. Thank you /cgl/

I took the advice to think happy thoughts whenever confronted with a mirror. The sheer effort of doing just that showed how deeply ingrained my self hatred of my face was. But... I feel better now.

Today at the hairdresser she remembered me. Last time she cut my hair was a year ago, so I'm very impressed. I put my trust in her, and the bangs came out great! To be fair I used verbs like "fear" when discussing how to make them and what kind to get. But she understood my point, so my new bangs are super light and fluffy. I'm touching them a lot.

I thought another horizontal line would make my face look more square. It turns out that my glasses and bangs combined actually makes my chin look less square. It's like my
old long hair, swept behind my ears, made this vague pyramid illusion of my face. With that gone, I feel like the triangle has been flipped vertically. Things could not have turned out better.

This post feels a bit disorganized, but the anons who know will know. The other anons who told me to go see a doctor for dysmorphic-stuff, I know you meant well. Either way, I'm so grateful I got to connect with you all. I am cuter in bangs!
