I hope this is just some avant-garde trolling that is going right over my head.

Actually, I hope that about this entire thread.

I had a few acquaintances that I had made from previous conventions added on my facebook. One day they were looking for an extra person to split the hotel and travel costs for a major convention, and all I had to do was agree to pay a certain amount and the condition that I would be a character for their cosplay group.

So I agreed but it just feels like they don't include me a lot in their conversations. And it makes me feel bad because I'm doing a character from a series that I'm really not interested in. I'm putting in a lot of money and effort into mine, and when I check on their cosplay "progress" photos they look like shit and they're recycled from previous years. One hasn't even begun hers yet and the con is in a matter of a couple months. A part of my conscience tells me not to go through with this because I'll be excluded when the time comes for the convention, but another part of me says to go through with it anyway because it's a major convention I've never been to before. And even if they don't wind up hanging out with me I suppose I could try to entertain myself.
It just feels awkward, and I'm a little jealous of their friendship with each other.

>thinking that's an insult and not just an observation
And they're pissed at you for that? Awful sensitive, aren't they?

>I have no self-respect
They're thinking of fucking someone else that they can know personally. That's not porn, that's not a movie, that's real. And the only thing that separates them from actually doing it is a physical screen and the distance.
Grow some esteem for yourself, nobody has to put up with that shit.
