/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm fucking pathetic. I have exactly two friends. I work a dead-end job with self-absorbed teenagers and drug users. The only people I really like at my job are two retirement age people who only work because they have no retirement fund, and this one autistic guy who is a pain in the ass, but at least we share similar interests.

I have no fucking idea how to make friends or meet new people outside of getting a new job, which would require an education, something I can't afford. Was sexually and socially repressed as a youth making dating and relationships in general seem like a M. C. Escher-tier nightmare.

Going to a con and cosplaying or larping seems like it would be fun, but I'm too scared and poor to go to one alone, and the only con my friends care about is E3, which is industry-only.
