/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

College graduate who lost their part-time job and hasn't been able to find one since. I started out reselling stuff on eBay from when I had money and splurged and now I've just started camming. At least all my costumes are good for something? I'm not making much but it's better than nothing for just a quick hour or two until I find another job.

Is it socially acceptable to ask for pics with people if they ask you? People who aren't in cosplay to be clear. It's going to be my first time and while I don't really expect pics I'm just really happy and excited about living my 12yo weeb dreams. I just want more memories since mine is horrible and I'd feel really grateful if someone asked.

Adding to that maybe tips on talking to people about interests as dumb as that sounds. I've never had anyone interested in the same series in me to talk to and I'm bad with stuttering in general. So whenever someone actually does wanna talk I get so excited and nervous I draw a complete blank and look like a "fake nerd girl." Even for stupid things like spongebob. I always think I'm going to be fine until I do it and feel like an idiot.

>really into cute Jfashion but pushing 30
>get into nanchatte anyway
>get toned down stuff
>tomboy in everyday life, too embarrassed to wear wigs much less pastel skirts and ties
>get fairly sad about it, no real life friends to dress up with
>retail therapy to fill the void
>now have more clothes I can't wear and merch gathering dust
>nothing fills the void
>only go to 1-2 conventions a year
>recently saved enough money to go on dream trip solo for a week
>never traveled on a trip by myself before
>go all out in cute outfits and wigs
>get so many compliments, take a ton of selfies
>feel cuter than I've ever felt
>feel like I beat my anxiety for once
>finally filled the empty void for a little bit
>now back home, cute clothes stashed in the back of closet
>at least I have a convention coming up

I'm just glad I got to feel happy with myself and truly excited for once. Maybe next I'll save up and take the plunge to go abroad for a trip. Never been on a plane but I've done one bucket list trip, why not another?

Just hoping maybe this'll help me get over my anxieties about dressing up and standing out at home. Still, it would be nice to have a friend to dress up with but I know that's not going to happen.
