This is kind of my fault for not being nearly as assertive. Here goes:
>made peace with a few people from ex circle of friends
>cut ties because they were always taking advantage of me or my stuff
>made me feel used
>never did anything for me in return
>well whatever, they won't change but I'm lonely and I can always say no
>apologize and let a couple back in

>be a few weeks ago
>friend contacts me asking if she can borrow one of my lolita dresses for a local con
>tumblr tier Homestucker ftm
>literally will get angry if you use female pronouns when addressing her even though she still looks female
>>"Pretty please anon? I have nothing to wear for this con and I want to loli."
>>"I guess you can borrow one of mine if you come over sometime."

>be that sometime
>she's eyeing my DDC
>>"Friendanon I'm sorry, but that's my prized possession and that is something I wouldn't let my own mother borrow."
>>"I understand anon."
>>"I do have this replica that I don't really wear, and it has only a couple damages."
>>"It's perfect anon, thank you. I will return it after the con!"

>2 weeks later and no skirt to be found
>message her politely asking what time I can be around my apartment for when she drops off the skirt
>conversation ends ambiguously because we can't really square a time due to schedules
>still no reason why she can't drop it off inside our bottom stoop, which is always unlocked and never invaded
>almost 4 weeks have passed, no skirt
>mfw
It's disappointing to me that some people have such a lack of respect for other peoples' stuff that they don't find it a compelling priority to return things ASAP regardless of the owner 'reminding' or 'asking' them for their items. I shouldn't have to do that, it should just be common courtesy.
Yeah I could minimize it and say 'well at least it was only a damaged replica' but it was still $90. I know a lot of people who would be pissed at me if I borrowed a $90 skirt and didn't return it promptly.
