I could cry a river anon!
I had the sax skirt untill my sister ruined it two weeks ago. It is too damaged to sell otherwise I would simply gifted it to you. Got it myself very cheap as a substitute because I´ve never been able to get the yellow one.
I will pray for us both but after this incident I´m on the verge of giving up.

Keep it /cgl/ related, ignore bait.

>tfw no comm
>tfw only 2 people are even slightly active in your comm facebook
>tfw too scared to ask them if we could have a meet
I've searched everywhere for comms in nearby cities (even an hour away is fine) but there's nothing.
Why even bother?

It feels good. If Lolita is your inspiration to be healthy go for it. If it's inspiration to starve yourself get a therapist

I've been feeling really depressed over my local comm lately. There is a large clique in the comm made up of girls that dislike me. They do all they can to bother me like talking about me behind my back and spreading false rumors. These girls enjoy gossip and are very vain, vapid people. Their whole world is about photoshoots, the best dressed and the prettiest girls. If you aren't that, you are below them in their eyes. I like seeing the good in people and I've tried my best to like them and give them a fair chance but they are really cruel people.

It hurts because I know they don't like me but they don't say anything to my face. They do all they can to hurt me online and gossip with others in the group, but they pretend everything is fine in person. The mods don't believe me when I tell them about these problems. Some of the mods are friends with them too. This all started when I made a few mistakes when I first started in the group, like posting to the comm page wrong or accidentally forgetting information for a meetup. I've always tried my best with the comm since, like making nice meets and trying to do all I can to make the community a nice place.

I just hate being surrounded by people I know who don't like me. It really hurts. It would be better if they could just be honest with me or even just keep their space and not involve me with their issues. I think they might feel like I'm encroaching on their territory or something? I don't know what their problem with me is. I almost wish I never joined the comm in the first place.

Have lolitas always been so cruel? I just wanted a group that I can have nice tea parties with and share my love for silly lifestyler things.

>tfw nobody to help you do up your waist ties

>develop p.o.t.s (a shitty syndrome that makes me dizzy and sometimes pass out when standing)
>over heat easily
>can't walk around at meets anymore
>probably can't go to cons anymore because of the walking and lines
>no caffinated tea or coffee

Goodbye lolita I guess? I'm trying out compression tights soon to see if they help, so maybe I can work ugly medical tights into my coord or something.

not OP, but thanks anon. i really needed to read something like this right now.

im in the same boat, i havent been motivated for cosplay anymore, even though i have 5 started cosplays laying around, i just dont have the motivation to finish. watching anime now makes me feel weird cause most of them take place in school, so theyre all like kids to me now. and lolita just seems to be so competitive and show-off-y ?? i am just disappointed in everything and have decided to focus on my future career instead. i also get easily discouraged since i feel like im a very slow artist, so this post encouraged me a bit, thanks again anon

Didn't see one in the catalog correct me if I'm blind.

A lot of people focus on the negative when it comes to /cgl/ but can I just say you all have really helped me? I'd even go so far as to say you've saved me from some dark shit. Cosplay/lolita rescued me from the depths of alcoholism and addiction and just having an online community that's so...human has really helped me. Today I bought my first new sewing machine in years and started using it and all I could think of was how all of you have helped me get to the point of being able to save up for nice things and not blow all my money on self-destructive stuff. Even the harshness of this board has really helped me. If I'm ever at a point of hopelessness/in a rut you guys remind me that I can't be a fucking NEET forever and I need to get up and do something with my life if I wanna continue to wear pretty clothes and pretty costumes.

Without /cgl/ I wouldn't have a job, I wouldn't have gone to school, and I would probably be in some seedy club in a dirty bathroom stall crying.
