/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

When I was in high school I wore lolita a few times a week. I'd get a few stares and laughter from the freshmen, but once they realized they were the only people who gave a shit, they shut up pretty quickly.
Other than that, I didn't get much harassment since most people were afraid of approaching me. Though after I graduated, I did find out a few things people did behind my back:
> Writing in the bathroom that said I sleep with old men for money, with a random cellphone number that wasn't mine
> Rumor going around that I was the daughter of a wealthy Jewish banker who transferred money to overseas accounts for rich corporations. My clothing was apparently an attempt to rebel against his religious ideals.
> When I first started wearing lolita in middle school (all Bodyline and pretty ita), a lot of girls were secretly interested in wearing the fashion too, but after looking it up online they stumbled upon the brand shops, gaped at their prices, and started to hate me for being "so rich".
That being said, never once did I feel endangered or bullied for what I wore. My outfits ranged from casual to OTT depending on whatever the hell I felt like wearing that day. Even if I had been outright bullied, I wouldn't have cared - the joy I got from my clothing far outweighed any negativity I might have felt from them. That being said, I had been bullied for years and had very few friends before I moved there, so maybe I just had a enough of a thick skin at that point to not give a fuck.
