>>7734010
just realised shes wearing honeycake
no wonder shes sad

People tell me I'm cute, but I just don't believe it. I know there are people far worse off than I am in the face and body area.

If someone like Kooters were to tell me I'm beautiful, I'd truly believe her. Word for word.

I wish I could go to Japan and meet Kooters and get her approval. If I don't, at least I'll know not to believe lies and focus on other things in life.

I'm probably crazy. Good thing I have a therapist.

>>7734019
that's dumb. don't do that.
kooters is too busy with herself anyway. she'd just tell you to fuck off or something. and if you ARE pretty, she'd feel threatened and tell you that you weren't just to spite you.

I feel like I'm losing my friends, friends I've met at cons and through cosplay. It's extremely discouraging and it just makes me feel like I'm just not a good enough friend or just not a good enough person.

I have all these cosplay plans and no one to do them with, and no one to attend cons with me. I do still try to find something of value at cons anyway, gaming with random people or chatting while in line for stuff. But at the end of the day, I don't have anyone to either share these experiences to begin with, or even someone to talk to about.

>>7734030
I'll talk to u anon

>>7734025
You have a point. Man, that'd be super great, though, having her tell me I'm pretty.

>>7734019
I agree, it is a good thing you have a therapist.

>"this is why you shouldn't talk when I drive, I was tuning you out so much I wasn't paying attention to the road"

fuck you too.
but I guess its fair, I've been talking about this anime a lot now. but to tune me out so hard you forget how to drive.. you need to step back

>>7734044
she would'nt tell you that, that's too gay. and if you were nice to her she'd call you a lesbo

>>7734105
Hahaha, good point, dude.

>>7734041
Where are you from?

>>7734101
what a fucking dick

>>7734101
that... doesn't make any sense? if he was tuning you out, that means he should have been focused on what he was doing. sounds like he was just tuning everything out and blamed it on you

>>7734111

>>7734101
What an asshole. Break up with him.

Shame on the man who claims to love you but won't accept your weabeeness.

>>7734101
FUCK boys who don't like Gurren Lagann. Kick his stupid ass to the curb and move on with your life. You deserve better.

>>7734101
Ugh my bf has been doing something similar and its been driving me crazy

mainly i'll be talking about something and he gets bored and you can tell he really doesnt care and he'll interrupt with something else

Once I got really upset and said "If you dont give a shit about what im talking about just tell me to shut up instead" he said "babe dont be like that".. but it happens so often i'll just stop talking if hes not paying attention

or often times we'll be having a convo and talk over me and wont let me get my thought out.

I dunno. we have a lot of different interests and lots of common ones too but I kind of wish he even feigned interest in some of the things i talk about. Ok i get that he's not big on drawing but when i mention that i spent all day drawing or making something and he isnt even curious as to what it is it kind of bothers me.

I just hate having one sided conversations...

>>7734121
he hasn't even seen it yet. I've been talking about it at least once a day for two weeks.
>>7734127
he tells me he just tunes me out when I get repetitave about the same subject, and doesn't tell me when he's doing so because he doesn't want me to feel bad.

I'm lucky enough to share a bunch of interests with my bf though.

>>7734016
>not loving honey kitsch
get out sparkle grandma.

That feeling of being in your mid-20s and going from seeing friends every day, to every week, to every month, to every few months, to maybe this year. It's still good to see them but we all get so busy with life and things--and most of them are engaged or married--that it puts me in a spot of feeling really lonely as a single person.

So I deal with these feels by lying on my couch and watching anime after work most days. Works pretty well.

>>7734127

My ex boyfriend was like this. We once had many things in common then suddenly he just changed. Everything I loved talking about he seemed uninterested, bored or would rather discuss something only he personally liked himself. Everything from cosplay to funny AMVs, the latest film, or something I fount to be cute just no interest or would just say a few words like "oh cool" that's about it. It was like talking to a wall.

About 90% of the interests and hobbies I enjoyed he never wanted to compromise and take part in. Me on the other hand did for him until I got fed up with everything being so one sided. It only got worse and worse to the point I felt alone and unhappy that I had nobody to share my interests with. As a result a break up happened and I no longer feel awkward for loving how I like to live my life.

>>7734157
fine, I'll take my gorgeous prints and leave you with your ugly, tacky mess

>tfw I'm the one that tunes out their bf sometimes

I can't even be around him when he plays league, the constant bitching and moaning is too much. I stopped playing over a year ago but he still goes on like "the thing about league is..."

sage cus no cgl in this post

tfw you want opinions on your coord but you're too scared to post it on /cgl/ and ask for help

>>7734189
I'm sorry things turned out that way for you.

I think I'm gunna try to bring it up with him if it happens again, because I really don't want things to end the way your relationship did. I don't feel awkward or anything but just kinda bummed he isn't interested at all in my interests at times

>>7734206
league is one of the things we mutually enjoy having a bitchfest about lol

>>7734216
Oh absolutely do it. I'm a fatty and asked for some advice and actually got some really good help on making my plain coord better. Some harsh posts here and there because lel4chan but overall a really good experience

>>7734226
Where did you post yours? Coord help thread?

>>7734206
Oh man. I do it too anon. But too be fair,I get really antsy when I listen to people stutter and mumble. My bf repeats the same thing a lot, or he gets stuck on words. He once called paper towels, "paper tinfoil"
Which in hindsight, was pretty fucking cute, but at the time I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what he meant.

So sometimes when he's being repetitive or tinfoily I tune him out

>>7734236
Yep. Most people that look into those threads are pretty nice

>>7734206

Back when I was dating, my then bf would sperg about his university student council politics. It was as stupid as it sounds. I tuned him out a lot, but he didn't seem to notice even when I began to get super sarcastic with him, so it was all good.

I don't regret it to this day. Petty politics is obnoxious as fuck.

>I'll finally be with the only friend I ever had that didn't constantly ditch me and treat me like shit again

>I'll finally be with actual adults who have their shit together and don't just live in their parents' house, collect all their empty liquor bottles and have fuck buddies who have babbymommas because "I just dun want anything serious right now teehee YOLO!"

I'm so happy about being around people who actually give a fuck about me that I don't care about these stupid people anymore. I'm done trying to make friends with shitty people. Bunch of white trash otaku wiggers.

I'll be your friend.

>>7734117
what part?

>>7734544
do you have a throwaway? what coast are you from?

>>7734640
West coast. SoCal to be more precise. 4chan email included.

>>7734644
this is an important question. boy or girl?

>>7734647
That's a man, baby.

>>7734647
Well names in the email. As much as it pains me, I will never wear cute frilly dresses, for I am a big manly man. Feels bad.

>>7734650
I'm sorry anon. I just really need to reach out to make female friends. I have about 10+ guy friends (all my bf's friends) and I need to branch out to make friends of my own. I'd feel uncomfortable meeting up with some guy when I'm a taken woman, plus I just want to talk about girl shit.

>>7734656
That's alright, hope you make some girl friends soon. I'd post in your friends thread if janitors weren't such roodypoos.

>>7734568
I'm in the upper part, the panhandle.

>>7734206
I do that sometimes but still pretend to listen at least. We're both spergs (he refuses to get diagnosed so he thinks he's normal but he's just as bad as I am) and we both spergramble at each other from time to time but for some reason I'm the only one with enough social conditioning that I pretend to listen and don't, you know, get up and walk out of the room while he's in the middle of a sentence

yes I'm still mad about that

>>7734216
>tfw you know that feel but can't even post in coord threads for fear of being recognized
My comm has such a stick up its butt about 4chan it's ridiculous. If they ever find out I lurk here (magically, because of course none of them do!!1) they'll accuse me of any and all anon-instigated drama that has happened ever.

Anyhoot

>notgonnahappen.jpg

Also is it normal for guys to still want to have sex even when they're ill? My boyfriend has been taking good care of me (although not the apartment, evidently) but he also keeps trying to get frisky. When I'm all vomity and sick the last thing I want is any part of his body anywhere in my body but he doesn't seem to get this. He respectfully backs off when I say no but then he just comes back later that day to see if I've changed my mind, which suggests to me that he doesn't understand WHY I don't want to get freaky while my intestines are breakdancing. Do I need to puke on him to prove my point?

I broke up with my gf because tl;dr she got insecure and went through my Facebook messages, got upset, I got majorly upset over her going through my stuff and broke up too fast without thinking it over.

She went to AX without me, and just our mutual female friend and felt really sad without me, and we were sorta planning a cosplay together, too.

Man, fuck insecurity. I had no damn clue about the stuff she was insecure about, then it blows up and now we're here.

Is the Daiso anon still here to tell us about what it's like to work at it for 3 years? I'm curious.

also tfw no daiso's in Europe where I can buy cute shit for cheap

I had the worst fucking dream last night and I am kind of laughing at myself for how much it fucked me up this morning:
>Comm is getting together for a 'lets meet Misako Aoki' kind of thing
>For some reason we are all meeting in one place and then they are getting a shuttle to where she is, and the shuttle can only take like 5 people at a time
>Somehow forgot to put makeup on that morning
>Also forgot to bring it
>And I forgot my wallet somehow?
>Also everyone is OTT and I'm in some casual mess with a frumpy cardigan.
>Call boyfriend so he can read me my credit card info so I can pay for stuff
>While I am distracted by this everyone is shuttled over to the event
>Last girl picked to go sitting by myself looking a hot mess on my way to see Misako Aoki
fucking shit I can't stop shaking.

>>7734794
I know where the hell did daiso anon go

I went at Japan Expo 3 weeks ago
>Can only go for one day because busy
>Wonderful atmosphere
>Beautiful things to see and buy
>Nice peoples, nice booths all around
>Take pictures of nice girls
>Was halfway crying when I took to train back

I just want to go again.
I just want to be there one more day, and talk more to these cute Naruga cosplayers.
I never was so close to peoples and things I can relate to that much.

And I feel old, too old.

>>7734768
>have unhealthy want for attention
>have nightmares about losing followers on tumblr or people leaving bad comments on blog
Woah that must be the worst shit.
And I'm serious.

I weigh myself sometimes twice or more a day even though I know it's ridiculous.

>>7734790
My bf definitely tried to initiate sexy times when I had mononucleosis and was bed-ridden for two weeks. Guys just have ridicilous sex drives, they start thinking with their dick when they haven't gotten any in a while.

>>7734963
once a week at most (preferably after you've taken a shit on an empty stomach in the morning). weight fluctuates all day err day

I need a girlfriend.
Extremely cliché, but I'm a bit tired of this shit, I just can't find someone, and I really looked, I even subscribed to dating sites and shit.

I just want someone to share my hobbies and life with, and learn new things from her as well, and I'm the very open-minded type. I'm a bit shy and all, but I can't be THAT complicated.

If I have that, I would have everything.

>>7734982
Post face, see if anyone thinks yer cute, share email if you live close to eachother

>>7734993
Meh, doubt so, I'm French and I don't think there's much around here.

>>7734982
Nah. You'd still be depressed because you think a person is going to make you happy and your life complete. Now I'm not saying you are elliot Rodgers level but he was a kid who essentially thought he had it all and a girl would make his life complete.

Just keep doing you and someone will come along eventually. You're probably more critical of women right now because you're actively searching for one

>>7735042
I'm not depressed at all, I lived for almost one year alone, and I'd say I was rather happy.

It just something that's missing, it is all.

>>7734982
No one is attracted to the smell of desperate, and you seem to reek of it from what I can tell

Being in a relationship won't magically solve everything in your life, the only difference would be that you are committed to someone.

Try to calm down and stop looking under every stone and crevice for someone, if you do that you might end up in a relationship because of all the wrong reasons and that would only end in tears

>>7734982
stooping so low as to using dating sites

>>7735002
I'm French too
post pic

>>7735057
dating sites are ok if you dont expect an AMAZING CONNECTION ASAP. It's fun and a bit of a confidence booster to just go out on a date and hang out with someone even if you don't connect.

>>7735057
They're not as bad as you think.
We're in 2014 grandpa, fuck that "Hurr you need to go in clubs or hang around your work for meet peoples".

It's sometimes even better, because you can make friends out of nowhere and have nice surprises.
Just don't sign up expecting someone owe you a bf/gf immediately.

>>7735057
Hey, I used the 4chan valentines thread on /soc....on the plus side, it worked.

>>7735063
>desperation detected

>>7735073
I used to be, but It worked, so... not anymore.

>>7735071
Somebody else knows the shame of meeting their SO on /soc/. In my defense I was super depressed at the time and neither of us usually go there.

>>7735071
/soc is a step below dating sites, right before craiglist

>>7735079
Yeah, I think the whole reason it worked out was that neither of us were /soc/ regulars either, we just dropped in for the valentines thread.

>>7735058
Ho well
I guess I can

>>7735091
With a bit of grooming you could be a cutie. Also that thing on the background doesn't look like Sepiroth, it looks like mothman. It's creepy

>>7735091
>yes_that_sephiroth
oh i thought you had dreads or something

One of my close friends got cosplay famous in our tiny country and he practically ditched all his old friends for the more 'advanced/elite/better' cosplayers.
And I was the last to find out about about this today.

>tfw no irl lolita friend
>mfw there are 2 other 'lolitas' that go to school with me and both are itas
One of the itas is an international studen China-loli who tried to stalk me and the other is an underclassmen in my major who can't dress for shit even in normalfag clothes.

>>7735129
He looks better with dreads.

I kinda got fed up and told her that she can't keep coming over without letting me know first. She stopped doing that after but she'd stop me on my way to class and want to talk for like an hour each time.

>>7735315
Sounds like a ronery ronery rori

>>7735315
Also kinda unrelated but her entire wardrobe was bad offbrand taobao pieces and she would refuse to wear a petti at school because it was "embarrassing". She had only one pair of lolita shoes, pic related.
She also caked on makeup and double eyelid tape and told me that she was scouted to work as an alt fashion model for some Chinese magazine.

>>7735205
>departure of CG
wait, what even happened to CG?

>>7735091
Oh, you're the guy who randomly posted your picture in some other lolita thread.

No offense, but you come across a bit desperate, and a lot of girls find that unattractive.

Mostly good feels here!

You're being too nice. He's got a weird creeper vibe from him.

I spend 3 years studying (Train everyday, no enough cash to rend a place) and one year being a NEET.
I enjoy life, but I realised how poor my social life was, aside from my friend circle and class I saw nobody else.

I just want to go somewhere and meet peoples.

>>7734493
Anon where you at? I'm going to the beach soon. You could totally tag along if you're relatively close.

>>7735516
I want to write books, I guess. I hate telling people about my desire to be a novelist because I don't want to seem like those uppity, ego-over-the-moon
>ah yes, I am.... a novelist. read my super amazing book about guinea pigs in an office oh ho ho
types. I'm not naive enough to believe I'll be popular or famous, and I certainly know I won't be earning any bank for years at least, but finally deciding where I want to begin when I've had a creative block for a few years now is so enlightening.

>>7734127
yeah this really inst a sustainable relationship, i hope you realize that. Eventually you two will end up breaking up because of his attitude about your interests. I have no problem listening to my boyfriend and putting my two cents in about what hes telling me just to at least seem interested, it's not hard, and he does the same.

First world problems, but this is becoming quite aggravating. I'm not even hot and I begin sweating from doing nothing. I thought being a hamplanet caused this, but even after losing weight I'm still sweating. I don't even stink, I just feel wet. It doesn't happen all the time just every now and then. It makes me scared to go out sometimes.

I don't even know why I'm part of my local comm. It's two hours away and I only know three people, and the rest of them are special snowflakes that demand asspats and coddling. I don't go to any meetups because I don't want to be seen with most of them. There are a lot of itas and fakebois that don't know how to fucking use makeup, a lot of landwhales that HAVE to have meetups be held at places that accept food stamps, and so many cheapskates that own closets full of replicas that you could count on one hand the girls in the comm that actually shell out for brand.

My expensive wardrobe is just sitting in my closet relatively unworn because of it.

I can't stand these people and I don't want to be associated with them.

>>7735733
You'll get there some day, anon.
And when that day comes you praise the private meets because they lack what makes you hate the public meets. There will be no more itas.

>>7735901
You should probably go see a doctor about that.

>>7735809
Not who you're replying to - Killers lyrics, don't worry about it.

>>7735901

Is this for real? I remember when that game got somewhat popular. My bf and I got all competitive with it for about a week.
That's an interesting little bit of info about the maker.

>>7736385
Yeah, but Orteil isn't looking like that anon above.
They're both French it seems though.

Just got to talk to the person I've been having a distant crush on for the last year, we're both really into Touhou and they offered to help me sew my cosplays (this person is fantastic at making costumes and props). They were really encouraging me to message them and even wanting to set up a time to work on something together and wow, I can't tell if I'm interpreting signals wrong but they were really intent on sitting close to me and leaving no personal space gaps between us. Wishful thinking because I never get out of the house and can't read social signals but oh god, I can hope.

>>7736414
Just ask that person out already for fuck sake.

At least, though I'm nervous about how I'll do this semester since I'm taking more courses which includes one that I failed.

>>7736520

>>7736501

>make /cgl/ friend thread
>get banned


where are you from?

>>7736558
Vancouver, there's girl one who I know for sure in the comm who posts here sometimes, but I'm a bit spaghetti when it comes to talking online.

I feel a bit silly about it. I mainly got into lolita so I could maybe make some female friends over here to hang out and wear cute things.

>me and gf are going as pic related for all of Otakon
>Kind of want to ask her if we can do a day where we switch cosplays
>Too afraid to ask
>Even though she knows a few years back I was questioning my gender
>tfw
Like shit I want to ask, but part of me is telling myself not to

>>7736585
I got into lolita and wanted to make friends, as well.
because there is a lolita comm pretty much anywhere.

>move
>go to lolita comm all excited
>the heads of the lolita comm make every meeting miserable
>30+ people in comm but only 10 show up per meeting max
>then less and less
>fuck socializing, the mods of the comm are horrible, will show up to every meeting, and will bud in on your personal conversations saying some judgemental shit

I'm suprised they haven't caught on why their comm sucks. it seems they get a new scapegoat every few years.
>"our comm is bad because ___"
>"don't believe the things you hear its all because of ___"


I've found it easier to make friends online, but no luck yet.

>>7736682
That's really terrible. There haven't been many meets yet so I've only gone to one really small one. It makes me a bit nervous that will happen, but I think the girls here are more or less friendly if not just reserved.

My main problem with online friends is that if I have them, I tend to not initiate convos if I get busy and then after a while I feel bad for not sending a message in a while. Especially since I don't have anyone on skype/steam and I don't really talk on fb

>>7735071
But the /soc valentines thread is really reliable for a serious relationship? I got freaked out of that board for all that porn stuff so i avoided it like the plague.

>>7736682
if ANY comm says "don't believe ___", "____ is just crazy"
or feels the need to get a scapegoat that is a huge red flag right there.

and IF your comm actually had a member in it who WAS crazy, there is nothing to prove, people will find out by going to your meets "well its not that bad"

>>7736638
dude just ask her, it would be a funny cosplay. She'll most likely find it hilaroius and agree, or feel ya, and agree. If she disagrees it's probably because she's afraid of the outfit getting stretched. You've got nothing to lose.

Heh.

Just be yourself, be confident, direct,
meet her eyes and smile, that's correct.
Do not let her see your fear
or she won't let you talk to her
so spread that grin from ear to ear
and don't you drop that eye contact.
wah ah ah aoh

Dress real sharp and stand real straight
bench 250 and watch your weight.

and yours may never be top shelf
but if you don't try, she's gonna hate.
wah ah ah aoh

Need to upgrade your personality
get new interests, a new mentality.
Old habits die hard, so buy my book
and when it fails lemme off the hook,
'cuz I'll say you just didn't try,
that you'd rather sit and cry,
and my advice really works for everybody.
wah ah ah aoh

Two, three years on down the line
you'll see her there, lookin' so fine,
she'll respond to every cue
she'll be so deep into you
Congrats! You caught a Borderline!

Holy shit, two people eating a cake in one sitting? How enormous are you both?!

>>7737123
what size cake do you think this is, its smaller than my laptop screen and it was my breakfast

>>7737102
Seems like you're being pretty bitchy too.
Unless you told him to save you some, he got bored and ate it. So what.
He even offered to make up for it later.
Threatening him to apologize is never going to get you a genuine apology either, EVER.
If you want an apology you should calm your tits too. "Hey hun I know you didn't mean it, but it made me really sad. Can you at least apologize to me?"

>>7737119
hnnggg this feel

>>7737131
I guess I was overeacting because the day before we were sharing something and he ate it all, and I asked him to please leave at least one bite for me if this ever happens again.

I was just so upset that he reacted like that when I looked at him sadly.

thanks for a logical response though.

>>7737102
It's cake. It's fucking cake. He even said he'd buy you another and you went all psycho girlfriend on him.

Why do so many women think being psycho is cute? Only the prettiest of anime/movie characters can pull that shit off, and even then, it's only almost.

Why did your boyfriend turn into an asshole? Why did you get so crazy over some damn cake? Use your fucking words next time. "Hey, you really hurt my feelings when you ate the cake we labored over. Like, I'm really hurt and I feel neglected and unloved. I'd be really happy if you didn't do that kind of thing anymore."

Fuuuuuck, why do women go so crazy over food. That shit ain't cute. At all. It's not even funny. You need help. You stupid cunt.

>>7737128
YOU EAT CAKE FOR BREAKFAST?!

>>7737148
Not OP, but hey, it's similar to eating a muffin or something like that. So it doesn't seem that out of the ordinary.

>>7737148
it was coffee cake with tea.

>>7737141
>implying he put a damn second to cook
>implying I wasn't going to say something
I looked at him sadly, about to say "hey.. can you please not do that.."
and he yelled at me.

I never had any intentions of unplugging the internet. calm your dickrage.

>>7737152
You came looking for sympathy, but you were the crazy one. He didn't know you wouldn't unplug it, especially because you threatened to. Improve your communication, but that probably won't help you being a manipulative bitch.

>>7737148
It's not candy! It's Reese Puffs Cereal!

Wait...

>>7737152
But you showed intentions of doing so. An empty threat is still a threat. I could lie and say "Hey, I'm going to kill your dog~!" It'd be a lie, but it's still a threat. A disturbing one at that.

Also, my bad, read that as "WE baked a cake".

You could have mentioned that you said that. Would've made you seem less dickish. Your reaction afterwards was still horrid, though. That's how a child acts when they don't get what they want; they throw a tantrum like you did.

You gotta be straightforward and own your feelings. Express yourself. Don't play any mind games and expect him to get shit. Be direct and explicit as hell. "Hey, I'm upset. I'm really upset. I don't like when you shout at me, it makes me feel X way. I feel like I'm being taken for granted when you do X thing." so on and so on.

Express yourself more, stop throwing tantrums, and I guarantee you that things will go 100% more smoothly.

>>7737159
I'm sorry I can't take you seriously you have a penis.

if you feel the need to inturrupt a woman who's looking sad with
"yeah yeah shutup I'm playing dota" you can go fuck yourself

>>7737169
>stop throwing tantrums
mostly this, but do all of the other stuff this anon suggested too and maybe you'll actually be able to be in a functional relationship. you sound like a fucking brat and I'm glad I don't know you in real life.

>>7737169
I TRIED to express myself.
he YELLED at me the second I started looking hurt

I'm sorry I don't remember it exactly but here's what happened
>day proir, eats the entire meal we were sharing
>ask him not to do that, tell him I'm hurt
>today, make a cake
>tell him I'm going and to save some for me
>come back
>cake gone
>look at him hurt
>about to say something
>he inturrupts
>"yeah yeah you're upset move the fuck on I'll buy you new cake mix get over it, I'm mid-game"
>walk over to internet router and ask him to apologize
>he starts screaming at me
>I apologize to him later for making it seem like I was going to unplug the internet
>he tells me its my fault for leaving the cake out there without telling him not to eat it

there we go. the entire story.

>>7737178
The boyfriend was being an asshole, yeah, but, hey, an eye for an eye makes the world go blind.

Even Stevens doesn't work. Walking away or talking things out like an adult does.

God, I sound like my grade school teachers, but come on, shit's good advice.

>>7737195
Then get a new boyfriend, or don't, just move on from this asshole, shit.

>>7737102

I didn't know children were allowed to live together

learn to communicate with words, relate your feelings to one another and learn to pick your battles

>>7737195
Then dump the shithole, jesus christ
There's no excuse for staying in a relationship that makes you feel that way. You came here asking if anyone else's boyfriends turn into asswipes when they play vidya, you were fishing to see if this kind of bullshit is normal and it's not. I don't care how sweet he is outside of playing video games, this shit is never going to get any better and you need to put a stop to it.

>>7737195
Might be a little mean, but you might just need a new boyfriend. He doesn't seem nice.

>>7737195
>>7737229
Also, no, my fiancé doesn't act like your boyfriend when he plays video games.

>>7737233
Seconding this, mine doesn't either. Two of my exes did though and the first time I stuck around way too long. The second time I was like NOPE.JPG and moonwalked right outta there. No regrets.

>>7737178
You get a negative response on a predominantly female board and assume the commenter must be male?

laughing.jpg

>>7737242
Good for you. :) One of my ex's was like that too and it didn't take me long to nope the hell out of there.
My fiancé is a total sweetheart in comparison, albeit a little too excited in games.

>Fuuuuuck, why do women go so crazy over food. That shit ain't cute. At all.
There's no "we" in food. Fuck off asshole

>>7737195
You sound like me, anon, and let me tell you, I can be pretty impatient and insufferable with my boyfriend for the dumbest shit. Granted, at the time of my bouts of anger, I think whatever set me off is a huge deal, but afterward it always ends up being tiny.
Stop with the threats right now. Even with something you view as something small like his video games, it won't lead you to a good place. The threats will get bigger, and you may even act on them, and trust me, you don't want to go there.

Try to control your upset, anon. I can see where you're coming from, he was rude, that's true, but your reaction wasn't the best either, and for this subject matter, it's really not useful. Your upset wasn't the cake itself, it was the way he treated you. I feel you. But minor threats won't fix anything. Do you get upset at your boyfriend often? Because I used to, and that eventually chipped away at him to the point where he'd immediately be peeved at even the slightest inkling of my anger. You need to talk to him and make him understand. If he doesn't something wrong, don't just jump down his throat, try to be patient. But he also needs to understand that he can't just be rude to you. like that. It's a two person effort. Tell him you'll try to keep your cool at little mistakes if he promises try to not be a dick. Both of you need to work on this if you want it to work. If either of you aren't willing to work at it properly and equally, then just break up, there's no point. You're both out of patience and both just going to be jerks and poison to each other.

Also, my boyfriend doesn't treat me that way while he's playing something, but he does often get noticeably frustrated and agitated during, so I take that as my cue to not bother him. It isn't as if he's any used to be when he's engulfed in a game anyway.

>>7737322
Man, that sucks. Do you have any other dresses in mind as a replacement?

>>7737302
Yay self-worth! I hope crazy cake-anon is able to get a hold of some, hopefully she'll be able learn how to behave like an adult and convince herself she deserves a boyfriend who is the same way.

>>7737341
I sure hope so, but everyone matures at different rates and some not at all. Best we can do is wish them luck. :)

>>7737339
No non printed ones. I was looking at JetJ's lolibrary the other day and I realized there are some really gorgeous non printed dresses that were made and everything on my wish list had been prints. There aren't any for sale that are catching my eye at the moment though.

Only other dress I want that is currently for sale is $40 more expensive than the dress I missed, and it has a print. Boooo

>>7737404
Well, Closetchild is going to update with new stock tomorrow so maybe there will be something in there you fall in love with! Good luck anon!

>>7737404
It was the pink one that siriusc posted wasn't it? Have faith though anon, non-prints pop up all the time and though it might take a bit of searching through sales you'll find something else equally beautiful!

I met my SO on /r9k/ while shamelessly baiting a MRA thread. I'm not sure if that's worse, but gogo 4chan dating site.

>>7737421
I met my S.O because he happened to be looking at a convention thread even though he's normally not on here(friends of his were going).

I was asking questions since I was new, and some details of my costume

He said he would say hi if he saw me, he did. We were friends for a few years and got together 2 years ago.

>>7737102

My ex did sometimes, especially when he was getting frustrated with League of Legends. It was probably the worst. Current bf is really great and even if he's getting frustrated or angry at a game, he just mutters angrily under his breath until it's silence. He will still answer nicely when I talk to him, but I know better than to poke the bear. Nobody likes to have more annoying shit on top of already being annoyed at something stupid. You should take note of that.

>>7737426
Hey, that's how I met my new boyfriend. He was on cgl looking to talk to someone about lolita stuff and convention stuff since he'd never been (r9k homeboarder) and wanted to know what the fuss was about. It's neat to see people connection through anonymous boards and actually making lasting relationships. :)

>>7737195
>using cake mix
you deserved it

>>7737102
My boufriend isn't like that with vidya, but he has NO self control with food. I have to specifically tell him how much of something he can eat or he'll just have all of it.

He doesn't get much to eat aside from what I bring him, but he's also hypoglycemic, so when he eats too many sweets he gets really bad headaches, and most of what I bring over is sweets.

>buy pack of oreos
>plan to nibble on them throughout the week
>eat 4 one day
>come back next day, there are only two left

>>7737138
I don't share food with my BF because of exactly this. I'll get him his own, or I'll say, "you canhave one small bite" and then fucking pack it down.

>>7736430
Awh. Shame, I'm on the East coast.

>>7737159
The fuck? The selfish fatass shouldn't eat the whole freaking cake (that's pretty disgusting in itself), he's a child for not even being considerate and thinking his girlfriend would want to share it equally. It's about the principle here, not the food itself.

Also if someone takes games way too seriously that they turn into some giant raging bitch over something like that, they've got some fucked priorities.

>>7737421
>met my SO on /r9k/ while shamelessly baiting a MRA thread
Oh wow how did that even work

>tfw no seme

>>7737187
If there's one thing I've learned on this board, any time someone uses the words "you sound like" they're about to over react and say something overly retarded bitchy.

>>7737411
Yep. I literally texted my fiancé jokingly asking him to buy it for me seconds before seeing that it had been posted on tumblr. I immediately had to ask him to order it for me (with my account info of course) because I was afraid it might have been bought before I got home from work, and my shitty phone wasn't letting me order it. He braved the moon speak to order it, totally confused because he rarely buys online, let alone from a Japanese site. And then it turned out to not even be in stock.

I'm definitely going to search for another non printed beauty! Thanks!

>>7737676

>Why do so many women think being psycho is cute?
A-at least my boyfriend thinks it's cute when I act kinda crazy... even when I put my blood in my baking for him and broke into all his accounts online to read his message history everywhere. ;_;

TL;DR my parents are unreasonable.

>be last year
>finished my BA the year before with zero debt
>live in the middle of nowhere college town with zero job opportunities beyond retail
>could have possibly moved to the city and started job hunting
>nope.jpg
>parents force me to choose between grad or law school
>because more degree must necessarily = MONIES
>manipulation intensifies as I enter a two year MA program
>my thesis still doesn't really exist after a year because I have no drive to research or be in this program right now
>develop general anxiety, get sick a lot because I regret it so much and it's a shit ton of work
>receive an academic warning because one of my profs gave me a B- for being absent
>you're not allowed to get under a B+ in grad so I have to retake it
>I tell my parents all this
>"Aw, poor thing. BUT you HAVE to finish teehee"
>they seriously don't fucking understand I probably won't finish because I have zero desire to be there
>stepdad never went to college
>my own mother didn't even finish her education MA until she was 28
>mfw I'm 22 and I want to kill myself

I'm never happy and I'm stressed all the time because I fear going back and just adding more debt. I think after accepting aid this year, my total loan debt is reaching 30k. My mom also shits on me all the time for being 'angry,' or 'Gosh anon I'm so jealous of other women who have nice relationships with their daughters but we can't,' when the reality is I'm stressed out and probably wouldn't be that way if I actually felt there was any hope.

Add to the fact that I'm hideous and fat and isolating myself from everyone because I'd hate to let them see that on top of being unattractive, I can't even get my personal life together anymore.

It's honestly the worst kind of loneliness.

>>7737831
Elaborate for us?

>>7737865
I took longer than expected to ship (2 days longer than what my TOS lists as a max) thanks to being called into my new job twice in the last week. A girl didn't let me know that she needed an item by a certain date (if I'd known, I would have made my bf or someone else take it and ship it) until it was practically too late.
So, on top of feeling like shit because I've been working a lot (the money's nice, but my body is killing me), I feel like shit for upsetting my buyer.

>>7737470
I live with my family and my brother does the same thing!!
>parents get fancy cheesecake for social thing
>lots of leftovers, I'm pretty much the only one eating it
>I'm eating it really slowly, a little slice a day probably
>brother swoops in and eats like half the cake in one sitting
>you don't deserve this.jpg

every time there's food I like he does the same thing too

>>7737784
In my case he recognized and remembered what I would be dressed as, happened to see me, said hi and we continued to have conversation from there

I made bad life decisions, and now I have a bad degree.
It's a job I love, but finding one is hard, and I'm 25, so I don't want to go for another 5 years for a new course.

>>7738394
Bitch don't be nice to people like that(reffering to the comment not the refusal to post her name). People think they can get away with this shit if you let them think it's okay. Rip into her tell her she doesn't get the dress now even if she agrees to the old price because she's a dumb cunt.

>>7734790
Yes. Puke on his dick.

She replied to me and told me she didn't want to "overpay" for the dress. I didn't freak out at her or anything, but I explained to her that she's not going to get anywhere with that attitude and exactly why what she did was unacceptable. I told her it was evident that she was new to the fashion and should learn how to be a better buyer.

>>7738669
What dress was it?

>>7738669
'Atta girl! Even if she gets pissy at you it's no skin off your nose. People shouldn't try to take advantage of people like that especially with overconfident assertions or passive agressive bullshit.

Sounds like hyperhydrosis. I worked with a girl who had that, she'd get botox injections in the worst areas (or something like botox at least) that supposedly reduced the problem.
Go see a doctor indeed, it could cause you problems in the summer.

>>7738669
wow, sooo much self control!! i wouldve named, shamed, cursed at, blocked, and tore that bitch in to pieces hahaha,,,

>>7736720
well, is anyone talking bad about your comm? its always something to take note. even if the person themselves seems crazy there always is some truth.

>tendency to cry when having sex, makes things a bit awkward

I just don't even know, man. I feel super guilty/gross for thinking about sex all the time (I've nothing against other people who do, but I hold myself to ridiculous standards) but I just want a boyfriend, or at least a date.
>so ronery

>>7737973
Lying to them doesn't seem like a great idea..especially if I do run into more trouble and I need to grovel for help. I don't have anybody besides them.

>>7739082
Just yeah do the party thing.
Or you can always go to /soc/. If you post that info in your states meet up thread a bunch of guys will add you on kik and then just pick one lololol

>>7739082
>I feel super guilty/gross for thinking about sex all the time

You'd be surprised how often people think about sex, I suggest stop guilting yourself for it.
Seems to me if you have casual relationships nobody holds it against you if you keep it within the bedroom. Only time people ever get pissed off about women fucking is if they openly boast about it, or profit from it. You should be fine.

>>7739082
what state?

>>7735901
If it's not an illness or anything, you could just be a very sweaty person like me. I get my deodorant from the apothecary, it makes me sweat like 80% less than I usually do and it's odorless (my sweat really clashes with most scented deodorants, ugh)

>>7739082
Meh I think about sex alot, don't feel guilty, it's healthy and perfectly normal.
Try masturbating, that can be really nice.

>>7739100
I stopped masturbating and looking at porn a while back and now I rarely think about sex. It's quite fascinating.

>>7738677
I'd actually prefer not to give specifics, it was by JetJ though from a while back

>>7738687
>>7738699
>>7738882
Thanks guys, I was regretting not being a little bit meaner, but in the end I'm glad I kept it classy

>>7739087
Live your own life anon, not the one your parents want you to. You only get one chance. Wasting it in a school you don't wanna be at is NOT WHAT YOU WANNA DO.

>>7739115
I really dislike porn myself, it turns me off rather than on, but to masturbate is good so I do that when I feel like.
I used to feel bat about it, mainly because I was in a toxic relationship. Now I just don't care.

>>7739092
>>7739100

Thank you. That makes me feel a lot better!

>>7739090
I've actually never been on /soc/. Do people actually meet up from there?

>>7739142
Best to avoid it.

>>7739136
>I used to feel bat about it

>>7739162
Aw sorry, it's in the middle of the night here

>>7739164
3am here

First time wearing a cosplay that I've done most of the work for for the first time, and I'm getting this crushing sense of anxiety about looking fucking terrible compared to everyone else at the upcoming con. Or just looking terrible in general.

I know there's the whole "everyone's terrible their first time" bit, but this anticipated embarrassment is killing me. Uggghhh.

>>7739168
here too

>>7739174
You're only as stressed as you make yourself feel. Accept the unknown, and wear it with pride.

>>7739177
Buona sera

>>7739174
No matter how bad you might look, someone is going to look worse, chanses are you look better that alot of people. Don't worry

Good evening to you too, I'm actually in sweden, there's a thunder storm raging right now and it's warm af

>>7735080

I tried replying to a few posts on craigslist while I was passing through some cities, but not many replied and never met up with anyone. I kept having a feeling that the ones who wanted to tie me up weren't going to untie me too.

>>7739185
Hey it's late and english isn't my first language, if you understand me I'm happy doe

>>7739189
>tfw this is the first moderately cool night in weeks
Fucking finally

Just graduated from college with a BFA and I can't deal with the stresses of job hunting. When I don't get replies I get frustrated, when I get recruiters emailing me I get terrified. I don't know what it is about them making the first contact that unsettles me, I guess I'm afraid of their expectations being too high? Plus they're all from a city that's about an hour and a half away from me including traffic.

The only reason I want to work full time is so I can have more money for my cosplays and anime shit, but the idea of spending 3 hours of my day commuting is daunting as fuck. It's gotten to the point where I want to go back to school for a second degree just to put this off. I don't even want to leave my house lately because I keep checking my email in dread/anticipation, I hate it. I've always had instances of social anxiety, but it's never been this bad before.

>>7739202
I'm still sweaty tho, the heat is horrible here, always

>>7739205
Coming from someone who used to spend about that much time commuting to/from work, it's not really all that bad. Yeah, sure, it's pretty hellish for the first stretch, but you get used to it - and if you're able to drive on your own, you'll have plenty of time to train yourself to sing better faster than you expect, too.

That said, after about 1.5/2 years of spending about three hours commuting to work, I was pretty ready to find a spot that would have less of a drive.

Especially if this is your first job, I'd say go for it. Chances are, given your long commute, they'll also be a bit more lenient about you showing up a couple minutes late here and there, too.

Be brave and take whatever chance you can get, anon!

>>7739100
>>7739092

Another anon, but thanks so much for this.

I'm so goddamn horny all the time. Half the time when I'm daydreaming, it'll be about me getting tied up and sexed up. it's embarrassing.

>>7739205
You know what? I was going to work around that 3 hour traffic deal but speaking from experience--get that degree. If you have the means, go for it. Get it. Masters Degrees are quickly becoming the new standard and those of us who got our Bachelors are fucked. Why not, if you want to put off the stress anyway?

Get that second degree now, while your brain is still fresh.

>>7737195
Your boyfriend sounds like an obese manchild. Keep food away from him.

When I see that cake-devouring, raging MOBA-players can having caring girlfriends, it gives me hope.

>Don't have boyfriend

I know /cgl/ would hate this, but I think I might pay J-Nig to cosplay Evelynn. How much does she charge?

>>7739724
Oh man did you actually play this game? I imagine so since you said you enjoyed Otome games. I'm not their target audience and I even played HB. What a great and bizarre game.

>>7739733
Actually I didn't, I completely forgot that Hatoful Boyfriend existed. But now I want to for the laughs. I heard the plot was actually pretty involved.

>>7739721
pls be my bf I'll ditch the one I have now

I genuinely love this game ;_;

>>7739142
I met a girl on 4chan about 4 years ago. Thus begin the Worst 2 years of my life ever.

>>7739142
Some guy from /soc/ really wanted me to be his waifu, I ended up blocking him because he sent me an unsolicited dick pic. Nah bra.

>>7739785
Only person I've met face to face from 4chan was a guy who ended up befriending me after I got doxed by /b/ oddly enough.

I met up with him while I was traveling in London and he showed me around. We chat on FB at least once a week. He's a super cool guy!

>>7739743
The music is so great too. I'm such a loser I have "By your hand" and the angel battle theme on my cars playlist, which I blast when they come on as I drive around.

>I really dislike porn myself, it turns me off rather than on

Widen your search, there porn out there suited to everyone.

>>7739082
Thinking about sex is perfectly normal.
Everybody does, but it's the kind of thing you cannot say.

Ease up a bit, watch porn, try to do some one night stand if you have the opportunity, but calm down, nothing wrong with that.

>>7738605
What the fuck, is your mom eight years old? Talk to her about that shit.

>>7739099
What's it called?

>>7739729

Just look up ebony dominatrix on redtube bro, you're welcome

>>7739223
>Tied up
Damn i wish I had a girlfriend into this, my ex never wanted to try, and my sexfriend was a huge fan. I love tying up girls.

>>7739236
Would you give that advice for someone who is 25yo ?

I live in Belgium.

>only 3 good cons per year
>next one is in October

Lately I've been watching con aftermovies over and over again while sighing.

>be wearing closet cosplay because didn't have time to make anything new
>tfw not sure if i should even bother

>>7739948
Just cosplay Totoro

>>7739945
Almost same feel, except Netherlands here

> tfw the best con is always during times you can't go

>>7739945
Same in Francia.
Only one worthwhile con, and like 3 other smaller cons.

Everytime Japan Expo is finishes I have zero morale for one month.
How I envy these US peoples.

>>7737934
Sounds like my brother and the worse part about it is he still maintains his figure of a 90 pound anorexic looking thing

Be me in a lolita circle of friends. One lolita drifts away, never talks to group, can't make friend group meets, never around. Circle goes on, drifter gets upset, circle tries to accommodate but drifter doesn't really make the effort.

Confused and annoyed, what do cgl

>>7739945
And even F.A.C.T.S. is getting boring to me. THey get bigger and bigger but unless you're there to actually buy shittons of merchandise, it's not that interesting too more to me. Too many people, too little to see besides the tiny Japanese culture stands, panels are non-existent, and the people who commentate on the cosplay competition are way less amusing than they think they are.
Sorry for the rant. I've been going to the con for some years now but I think I'll sit it out for once this year.

>>7739785
please elaborate

I got an exhausting full time office job, and amongst other more important issues with it, I miss actually having time for lolita and impromptu mini meets.

>For years, ridicule people with waifus

Chinese gossip was permabanned. Her new residence has an IP that was previously banned and she doesn't know how to dispute it.

>>7740039
are you ten years old?

>>7740043
I'm so ashamed anon, it feels so gross and wrong.

>>7740070
It is gross and wrong. Get out more.

>>7740066
Worse anon. I'm 19.

>>7740070
But IT IS.
But the whole idea is, you don't give a fuck, that's how you are.
And that's BEAUTIFUL.

>>7740052
Noooo!!
If she goes to https://www.4chan.org/banned then there's a lil form to fill out to dispute it.

I haven't feel like starting on any cosplay projects lately and was pretty frustrated about what to do until I started watching Love Live.
Now I reached out to a pretty good local cosplay who also really likes the series and we started a cosplay group! Then another really good cosplayer joined as well and I'm super excited and really motivated about cosplay again!

Tfw you're going to be in a kawaii idol cosplay group!

Also, another feel but a bad one:

>Cosplay maid to work at friends' maid café at foreign con, all in good fun
>Guy comes by, says he works for foreign cosplay organisation x, wants pictures
>Demands very specific poses, nothing lewd but he's like smile more, put your leg in front, etc
>After con, organisation posts pics but none of me
>Message them about it, they say they don't know anything about it
>Turns out he's a well known con creeper in that country who just took my pics for his private fap collection.
>He has also forced girls into photoshoots etc before, really scary guy.
>Mail con organisation, they say they can't 'just ban him' for god knows why but they will talk to him.

I feel so frustrated at the moment. I'll never trust a random photographer again. What would you guys do if this happened to you?

>>7739967
>90 pound anorexic looking thing
>implying that is desirable

>>7740525

Jeez, let up. All he did was take some pics. How could they ban a guy for taking pics that you agreed to?

>>7739969

Sounds like the drifter wants to be held by the hand in the activity known as "being social".

If the drifter is blaming the group, even after the group has clearly showed they're trying to accommodate her and she fell through, then she is in the wrong.

If she makes the excuse that she can't drive, that's not enough. She can learn to drive, or ask around for a carpool (and pay the driver for gas), or take transit.

She is being lazy and is expecting everyone to take care of her and be her chauffeur, when in truth NOBODY is obliged to help her come to meets. Nobody is forcing her to come. Nobody is forcing anybody to come. Everyone who wants to come, will come to the meets out of their own effort.

If you want to do anything, either ignore her and let her complain until she's hoarse, OR tell her directly that she is being an immature and spoiled brat. If she's not making the effort to come, even after the multiple times the group fell over themselves to include her, the only logical reaction you guys should have is that she in actuality doesn't WANT to be part of your group, or she's being a spoiled princess who expects everyone to cater to her whims.

Being social takes time and effort. Let her figure it out for herself.

>>7739951
Yeah some friends of me even go to the Netherlands to go to your cons too, but I live in the very west part, so it's too far for me
>tfw the best con is always during times you can't go
THIS. SO MUCH.

>>7739963
We have a Japan Expo in November, but I don't think it's quite as big as yours. I wish I could come to yours, looks like heaps of epic.

>>7739970
I've only been 2 years now (2012 and 2013), so I wouldn't say I'm bored of it yet. But it's true that unless you're interested in merch, you don't have much to do. Actually it's the only thing I do, I don't even attend any panels nor have I ever seen the cosplay contest. I ask cosplayers for pictures when they pass by.
So I think I'll go this year, because there's some stuff I wanna buy.

Antwerpcon and Atsusacon are not worthwhile for me, so I've never went nor do I plan to.

I am inherently pissed off by one girl in my comm. She posted a WTB for anything under €50, be it bodyline, a replica...
Someone responded with an offer for a small payment plan for her BTSSB printed skirt.
She responds with "do ya have CDC as well? I want the OP with choker and bonnet-set"
And I was already annoyed by her. She wants to be a living Barbie and talks about how once she's eighteen she's gonna spend grands on plastic surgeries to archieve 'perfection', claims all her clothes are dolly clothes and how Justin Bieber someday will be her husband.

>>7743194
Annnd I just found out she made herself a facebook fanpage. This girl owns one skirt. Just one skirt.
