Sometimes I feel this way too. I do feel embarrassed sometimes to go out in big groups of lolitas because I know what we look like to normal people: clowns. I internally wince a lot at what goes on at meetups. I ask myself what's the point of this ridiculous, expensive clothing, and convince myself that I should sell most of my wardrobe. But I keep going to meets because for all the annoyances, there are many more benefits I get from making lolita friends - friendship, commiseration, help, inspiration, and a worldwide network of information and acquaintances.

I guess if my comm was full of itas I'd really feel like there was no point. I'm definitely not in love with a lot of the people in my comm but you never know who will show up to a meet and there could be someone really compatible one day.

So I'm trying to say that I do understand and identify with you loner lolis and under different circumstances I might be one too. There's some value in being alone and just dressing for yourself.

Aright seagulls,have any of you ever been put down/insulted/assaulted etc.. because of wearing make-up, lolita, wigs,or anything of that nature?
