it's not even feeling jealous when they talk to eachother or anything, I'm just so paranoid about becoming the 3rd wheel even though that's not happening at all. I guess it comes from never really having good friends so now I do I'm so paranoid I end up looking clingy, because I try to talk to them even more in moments I feel like that.
cgl related because we're hoping to all go to this con together and I can't help but be afraid that by then it's just the 2 of them and me alone

>tfw the person who got me into lolita is super small compared to me
>tfw i'm basically a landwhale
>tfw we'll never be able to twin

It's my birthday tomorrow. I have no friends. I think I'm going to go out and drink at a Wetherspoons whilst reading, order some food at 11pm and then spend of the rest of the night drunkenly listening to things on my ipod.

I have no mouth, and I must scream.

>>7777404
My birthday s on Wednesday. My boyfriend is taking me out for sushi but I'll probably end up paying since he's a poorfag.

I don't have any friend though. It's pretty much just him.

>mfw I think about the next meet up

I don't know what to do. Even if the dress fits I know I'll look and feel hideous next to my small, cute and thin friend. Guess this is the final push for me to actually start working out and stop being a lazy fuck.

>>7777412
>Boyfriend

I'm afraid to say that my star sign accurately describes my romantic life, hopefully when I go back to university I shall acquire a friend. In a way, I've got used to the loneliness. I just wish I could stop constant feeling of tedium that drips over the rest of my life.

I just hope I don't go insane like I did last time and refuse to leave my room except to buy food at 24/7 supermarket.

>>7777422
Well my boyfriend lives about an hour away from me so I can't just go see him whenever I'm lonely. When I do go see him it's usually for a week or so at a time.

In the meantime I sit at home being lonely and watching anime and bitching on cgl. At least I have internet friends, I guess. :/

>I just hope I don't go insane like I did last time and refuse to leave my room except to buy food at 24/7 supermarket.

A-anon are you me
I still have a few friends, but most of them moved away, and I feel we are not as close emotionally as we used to be. i can feel them slipping away; they all have new lifes without me. Also, no bf, last time I had sex was two years ago. Since then I have never a dte, or even a boy being interested in me. Also this year I failed my exams and probably my papers too since I haven't even started them. I feel like a complete failure.

On that note: I think I might have depression, but I am too scared to go to a doctor because I am afraid I am not actually depressed, but just happen to have a shitty personality.

>>7777484
>On that note: I think I might have depression, but I am too scared to go to a doctor because I am afraid I am not actually depressed, but just happen to have a shitty personality.

If you think you have a problem see a doctor. My boyfriend feels the same way but from an outside perspective it's very obvious he has some pretty severe bouts of depression. I just wish he had the means and money to get the help he needs.

>>7777484
>I think I might have depression, but I am too scared to go to a doctor because I am afraid I am not actually depressed, but just happen to have a shitty personality.

Go anyways. They're getting paid to sit and listen, not to judge you. What will probably happen is that you'll find an aspect in your life that you feel you need help working on (depression, anxieties, etc.), and you'll continue seeing them until you feel as though you don't need the help anymore. If at any point you don't feel comfortable going, you can stop.

I'm in outpatient right now for an ED. I can't start dieting again until hopefully October, if my doctor decides to finally let me out. I hate how large I've become again. My pants fit again, and it's awful. My period came back. I can't stand being in my body. I have never been so excited for October.

>supposed to be saving to buy bf's birthday gift
>drop $850 on lolita instead
>probably won't have enough money in time for bf's birthday
what am i even doing
every savings/budgeting tactic i try just fails in the end ugh

>>7777546
oh god are you me?

>>7777539
Wait, how can your doctor keep you there if you're outpatient? Also if you're not underage shouldn't you be able to get out of there as soon as you want?

But on the other hand going to a (for german standarts) Huge Con without a Cos feels like bullshit.

>>7777549
It's complicated, I am 18, so the whole "of age/able to make own decisions" is kind of borderline. I will be moving out soon though, so once I start again, they will not have to know. Our relations are strained at this point, so not keeping in touch will not be an issue.

>>7777388
Payphones still exist, also I'm assuming Anon has some friends who have phones?

>>7777556

I tried having another account that was deposit only, but it isn't really working

>>7777548
hopefully someone can help us

>>7777573
Ah, makes sense then. I'd tell you to take care of your body after moving out but well. I know what shit's like. Just try not to die, anon.

>>7777539
>oh no I'm recovering and getting healthy and I hate it boo hoo

I got essentially kicked out of my local lolita comm. I lashed out at one of the popular girls and since then everyone just ignored me completely until I just couldn't take it and left on my own accord.

I only recently got into lolita and I love it but now that I have no one to turn to I'm considering just giving up on it.

I don't have any friends in my city. The only friends I have lives about an hour away so we don't get to hang out, and even then they're all guys. I want girl friends to have girls nights out and have sleep overs and paint each others nails and talk about makeup and oh god I'm so lonely I want to die

>>7777578
do it in small increments either each day, bi weekly, monthly, etc.

What was your reaction when you stepped into a friends room for the first time /cgl/?

I found the perfect table for my room.
It's so good that I now realize just how shitty the rest of my room is.
And I've always been a recluse, but now I REALLY don't want anybody seeing my room.

>>7777618
Where do you live, anon? Maybe you can try the friend finder thread.

>>7777421
Hey! Believe in her who believes in you! Eat better these next few weeks, get out more. Lolita's advantage is looking okay on some different sizes. You ain't even that big or tall. You can do this. HAVE FUN.

How come the gaia thread got deleted: :c

What happened to the last one? Didn't it auto sage?

>>7777827
Not /cgl/-related enough for the janitors.

>>7777757
I can't really post where I am without the whole comm finding out about it (they hound cgl for drama) so I can't really make any lolita friends in my area anymore since my comm has pretty much black listed me.

I'm beginning to really want to just to be able not worry about myself craving the need to rip myself apart. I've came so far in the years but the more I have to worry about my emails and all that is driving me crazy and it would be nice not ratting everything sweet in sight.

>>7777922
If you're not in the comm any more, who cares? You could also just message people on the friend thread yourself, instead of putting your info up and waiting for people to come to you.

>>7777922
Well, you can be vague about your location and just put the general area of where you live. I'd totally hang out with you. You sound awesome.

I kinda got pushed out of my comm as well, so I know that feeling.

>>7778020
I live in the US that's all I'm really willing to give out. You can email me, I dropped an old one in the name field. Thank you.

Advice for what to do, if there's anything I can do, is extremely welcome.

>>7778116
IB MYP? Damn, you're young.

Anyway, as an ex-IB teacher here is my advice:

1. Do something easy that'll get your diploma, it's IB MYP and it is of no consequence past getting into the next level of schooling. Past that, this project will be forgotten.

2. If you want to do something meaningful, a project with guidelines and assessment isn't always the best place to do it. Especially something artistic that is a very personal vision. Trying to think outside of the box is really commendable, but you've also got to keep the audience in mind. I don't know about your school/assessors (even though it's IB and I like to think all schools will encourage individuality and creativity), are they likely to understand what they're getting at, regardless of your own ability to execute it?

3. This is not the biggest mistake you'll ever make. It's a big decision for you right now, but both of your options are sound. If you're worried, do you have a teacher you can talk to about it? They might confirm what I said in that it's a creative idea and it could allow you to explore various means of expression and research difficult issues, or they could say you're better off investing more time in other subjects/exams and keeping this one simple.

I always thought the biggest failure of the IB is that at the end of the day you're still trying to pass a diploma, even though they throw in personal projects and extended essays for you to "develop" as a young person. You'll always have to make some form of compromise to "tick the boxes" of the assessment. I spent my high school life ticking the boxes with minimum effort and investing time into my own development in other ways, and it paid off further down the line in my career because I had more to offer than typical cookie cutter good students - but I was still the good student package. Keep MYP easy, especially if you're planning on getting the actual IB at the same school and you don't need to go through an application process.

Get a cheap zyrtec/claritin knockoff for the allergies ASAP. Not sure what you can do for the infection.

>>7778496
Seconding drowning yourself in antihistamines, get some steroid cream for your skin, and talk to a doctor about the possible infection to get some antibiotics if you can. Otherwise drink lots of water, get some sleep and good luck.

>tfw you compliment someone at a convention and they act awkward or unhappy about it
It makes me scared to compliment people
Half seem genuinely happy if I give them a compliment, the other half are like "Oh uh... Thanks... Heh"

Fucking this. It's why I'm considering not doing it anymore anyway. 90% of the time you'll be seen as a creep.

You know, there is a board for that shit. Go back to >>>/mlp/

>>7778609
>>7778652
Lots of people have trouble accepting compliments, they don't necessarily think you're a creep. I've always been taught that accepting compliments too readily makes you look arrogant and full of yourself, so when someone starts gushing over my appearance I start to feel really uncomfortable and don't know how to respond.

>>7778618
He looks like shit.
I cannot wait until this long hair and shity beard thing-trend dies; especially all the wannabes irl with their pathetic beard attempts and greasy unkept long hair(especially this disgusting topknots-they already look awful on girls, and even more awful on men with long hair who don't know how to take care of their hair). Ii 99% of the cases it just looks shitty, celebrety or irl. Personal pet peeve.

>On that note: I think I might have depression, but I am too scared to go to a doctor because I am afraid I am not actually depressed, but just happen to have a shitty personality.
This is exactly what I'm going through except with BPD. I either have a really shitty personality or I'm actually certifiably crazy.
Keeping it cgl related, Uni starts today and now I'm trying to balance school, a job that I need but am on the verge of getting fired from, with trying to finish my cosplays for an upcoming con. Fuck me.

I like my men cleanly shaved and with short hair. But not too short (buzzcuts a shit).

>afraid that I'm going to be walking around with wet panties

It's really getting bad. I was actually blushing at some of the monsters/killers of a haunted house attraction this past weekend. One had a stitched-up scarecrow mask I really liked.

>>7778989
You most likely don't. Before all the Tumblr kiddies have a go at me, a disorder like that is quite rare and a doctor won't be able to diagnose you from just one visit (and those that do are shit doctors). I suggest you stop scaring yourself by reading Wikipedia articles on mental disorders and actually see a doctor. Being unstable in any way can come from a plethora of things, and a lot are easily manageable when you understand your emotions. Some behaviour comes from untreated minor mental conditions, like anxiety, which are perfectly treatable.
I wish people would stop self-diagnosing and actually see a shrink for their problems because nine times out of ten it's not a special snowflake disorder but something else.

>tfw browsing 4chan (except lovely boads such as cgl/ and toy/)

Why are we getting so much hate here, cgl/ ? ;_;

>>7779044
Stop paying attention to them, it's /pol/ and /r9k/ cancer shitting up the other boards like they usually do.

>>7779044
If you find that 10/10 model billionaire, let me know. My boyfriend stopped working out and doesn't have a real job. I could use some money and rock hard abs.

>>7779036
Yeah this. Not saying I'm sure you don't have it, but as one of the most intense mental illnesses BPD isn't that hard to detect, just like for example schizophrenia. Most obvious signs of BPD are (usually pretty bad) self-harm, impulsive and thus half-hearted suicide attempts, and random outbursts of extreme anger that can result in physical violence. Of course mood swings, black and white thinking etc are symptoms too, but those could be caused by something entirely else.

>>7779059
People also think that a personality disorder is the same as a mental condition like anxiety or depression. It's not, it's much much worse. If you had it your family would haul you off to a therapist a long time ago.

>>7779044
Sometimes it gets to me too, but then I go outside and talk to actual men and they're perfectly decent people.
It does make me a bit paranoid when I'm around awkward nerdy guys, though. I want to like awkward nerdy guys because they're more likely to have interests in common with me but I can't help but wonder if they're /r9k/ types who are seething with hatred inside. Especially my boyfriend's friends who just go bug-eyed and silent when I enter the room. Sorry I'm interrupting your bro-time with my ovaries but this is my house, too!
I just really hope they're the cute kind of awkward, not the creepy kind of awkward that goes home and posts to /r9k/ about his friend's slut skank gold digger girlfriend who totally interrupted their L4D playthrough by jiggling her whoreish tits around on the way to the kitchen where she belongs... or something.

>>7779050
It kills me a little inside when I see this sentiment outside of 4chan, which is happening more and more often lately. Maybe I'm just paying more attention to it? I don't know.

>>7779083
Wouldn't be so sure about that. My parents hauled me to a therapist because my grades were dropping (turned out I actually have pretty bad ADD), but my dad, who was later diagnosed with BPD, was "just an asshole" for 10+ years. My mom didn't even THINK of taking him to a therapist until I brought it up.

>>7779083
I'm not completely with you on that one. I have a mood disorder and a personality disorder, and BPD traits besides that. In my experience depressive episodes put me in more danger than my one and a half personality disorder.
The "good" thing about disorders such as anxiety and depression, though, are that they aren't chronic, so I guess in that way they are indeed easier to deal with.

At least I'm sober enough to realize it? I always used to get dressed up in lolita to lift my mood and give me courage but that's not working anymore so I've resorted to liquid courage. This is probably a bad idea.

>>7779114
Oh man, bad idea. Back when I had social anxiety I used alcohol and xanax (not prescribed) as a crutch. You don't want to go down that path.

>It kills me a little inside when I see this sentiment outside of 4chan, which is happening more and more often lately.

There's some kind of weird feedback loop with the /r9k/-r/redpill crowd and the SJW tumblr crowd. I'm seeing more of each outside of their respective containment zones. I don't get it.

Sometimes I go to cons and tally up the number of flowercrowns vs the number of fedoras I see. I imagine they are opposing sides in this cootie war, and try to picture how the inevitable gang fight will go based on what I've tallied up for the day.

>>7779117
Yeahh I know. My therapist actually complimented me on NOT being an alcoholic since apparently many people with my particular combination of issues end up with a drinking problem.

Holy shit I just misspelled almost every word in there. I need to sleep this off, but I still haven't sent that email fuck fuck fuck.

They'd probably just sit in opposite corners of the room and grumble. Both types are really only 'strong' when they're backed by their online homebase.

Nah, in fact I believe they are samefags with the same persecution complex, the only difference is the ridiculous cause they shitpost for.

I don't really get this anyway. Aren't these people pretty much saying "I'd rather have a bucket of ice water dumped on my head than donate to ALS research"? Why is this a thing?

>>7779190
You're supposed to donate $5 and "spread awareness" or some shit. I just hate it because it shows alot about how fucking stupid people are if they have to have such an attention whoring outlet to do so.

>>7779161
No, they're the exact same people, but they have opposing views. It's like feminists and MRA fucks are the same, but they want the other gender to suffer, they'd have the best hatefuck ever.

>>7779148
Lol quit projecting

Though I love teddies and MLP has been part of my whole life. Sad to say, it give me happy feelings more so when I ingore the crazy fans.

>>7779196
>>7779190
It's either donate $10 and do the ice bucket or donate $100 to avoid it. Not a lot of people have that kind of bank sitting around, especially lolita.

I wouldn't complain about awareness. The ice bucket thing ended up bringing enough awareness and knowledge to raise $50k.

>>7779234
Not complaining about the awareness, but the fact is that if you need to make such a dick waving contest to spread awareness for something, it shows just how selfish and stupid people are. People didn't even know what it was before it became some popularity thing, it's stupid that this needed to happen to make people aware.

but seriously all you need is to vent or talk it out and you might come across what is really ailing you. Its a extremely common problem with youth at a crossroads. In a way it is depression, but not the crippling type, youre simply overwhelmed and worried of what holds next in your life.

Stop. Eating. So. Much.

- Don't drink anything that isn't 0 Calories (use sweetener if you have to)
- Have Oatmeal for breakfast (1/2 cup + 1/2 CUp of applesauce instead of milk = approx 200 calorie breakfast that should keep you full for a good bit. Again, use sweetener if you have to.)
- Learn to stir fry veggies. They taste pretty good if you do it right and you can feel full as hell while not guilty at all for approx 350 calories.
- Coffee. Tea. Caffiene in general.
- Walk 10,000 steps a day (there's cell phone apps for this).
- Don't drink alcohol (yes, this shit has calories in it too).
- Count. Try to stay around 1300 a day.
- Even if you weigh yourself everyday, you won't always see the progress (haven't pooped, recently ate, extra water weight, PJ's denser because of over-night sweat, etc). Just keep maintain healthy habits and you'll be fine.
- Keep at it.

Thanks, Anon! My biggest problem is snacking and that I am addicted to eating tons of pasta, olive oil ans shit like that. tfw italian.
Also, I have zero motivation to work out... I just need to pull myself together and stop whining on 4chan.

>>7779342

Most of this is pretty horrible advice, coming from a lurking /fit/izen

I won't point out how I just felt like saying most of this is bad so don't do it

>>7779388
snacking is fine, the issue with most people is what they eat to snack on.
avoid grains and pasta, its like a sin against your mama I know, as a fellow Italliano its hard. Olive oil is your friend, use it to cook instead of butter or vegi oil. You can do Keitonics, but it requires more attention to what you eat but less motivation to actually work out, just dont ignore any health symptoms after the 3rd day.

>>7779093

I hope you realize that not everyone on /r9k/ has that mentality. The ones that do are really vocal about it, but most guys on r9k are just >tfwnogf.

I feel like I'm losing the fire for making cosplays. I still want to dress up and cosplay but I've been less motivated trying to find characters that will fit me or will look good in. I've tried a few and I thought I look alright but looking at pictures, I look terrible. It's really putting me down.

>>7779539
Well why don't you post some pictures and let us judge

>>7779563
I've posted before and I got feedback. I've taken it and have been trying a little harder but I feel like I'm stuck in a rut in skill level even following tutorials or getting help. I get too scared to get pictures taken because I know I'm not too photogenic

>used to be short skinnyfat asian
>short legs and wider than average but still considered slight hourglass
>hips on narrow side but still have thigh gap
>start lifting
>waist shrinks
>hip measurement increases
>thigh gap now minimal
>look more "solid"
>feel square as fuck
I wish I had a really small waist and bigger hips, but my torso is just so wide and disgusting. I still have some lbs to drop (I'm 112 but want to get to 105), but I'm afraid I will look even more square.

>tfw all the shit I need to look better is expensive as fuck.

I need to use some software to pull deleted messages off my iphone but it needs to go into some special mode in order to do that and I can't get to that mode because my power button is broken. And even if it was, I don't know if messages from a year ago would still be on there.

>Suddenly hit with a wave of emotions

I know that is not true, but I occasionally get this irrational fear of never being loved. I'm really keeping myself on a short leash now so I won't get into a relationship because of all the wrong reasons, but damn I don't know what to do with myself from time to time

Oh my god this sounds like me. I have these two friends and they are very close to each other and I always feel like I'm the shit tier friend even though they obviously like talking to me and feel bad when they don't respond to me because they tend to be busy. I'm just so paranoid that one day they'll just stay together and stop talking to me lol.

>>7779234
I think since so many people ended up doing it, it became more like a participation thing than glory hogging. Of course the most famous ones are from celebrities/e-celebs, but fucking all these normalfags on my Facebook are doing it, challenging each other, and spreading it around and they don't really strike me as the type to attention whore.

The ice bucket is supposed to approximate one aspect of ALS because people don't really fully understand how degeneration is occurring/what that feels like.

I'm not surprised Deerstalker did it? It's no big deal but they're definitely the type

>>7780263
Tell your boyfriend to fuck off. If he wants your roommate to be fit then HE needs to be the one to fucking drive him to gym at 1 in the morning. That's absolute horse shit. You're not his little errand bitch.

> mfw lone lolita
> mfw I want to sell some stuff so end up wearing lolita to the local swap meet
> mfw I got such a nice welcome
I like being solitary, but I feel so left out of the community and the latest news, and now I don't know what to do.

>>7780266
I just realized my verb tenses made no sense whatsoever. Lets pretend I didn't destroy English grammar.

>>7780265
It's really not even my bf, it's whiny bitch. Boyfriend would probably understand my desire to go alone, but whiny bitch is incredibly passive aggressive and likes to start vicious rumors and incite drama among us, and at this point he expects me to let him tag along. If I stop taking him with me, I'm 99.9% positive it'll start a stupid amount of drama. Just kind of POed at the bf for even suggesting this dumb idea in the first place.

I start uni again tomorrow though, so I pretty much intend to use their gym whenever I get the chance, and perhaps sneak away to my local gym when whiny bitch is away. Not gonna just sit by and continue getting squishier, but I want to avoid this crapstorm for as long as I can.

>>7779780
Be productive. I know it sounds like a major pain in the ass, but just sit down and do something. Even if it's cleaning the house, the fact that you've accomplished something will make you feel better. From there, it's your choice what you want to do with those good feelings.

I only say this because I've been having the same problems on/off again. I get free time, I consider all the things I could do that need done and while thinking about them I end up burning several hours out of no where. I get nothing done by half-day and then I feel depressed and disappointed in my self. The fact that I got nothing done makes me feel worthless and so I spend the rest of the day browsing the internet aimlessly.

Seriously, just ass yourself into doing something small and go from there. Maybe make a schedule for the day and plan out shores/activities for yourself. If you get going your body will do the rest.

Everything has been getting worse, thanks to the stress I have got physically sick, I get anxiety attacks every time I am with my parents, I haven't been able to sleep in a few days...

For the past week or so, my binge eating took a toll on my body because the gym was closed for freshman week.
>tfw had to deal with minimal cardio
>tfw my college is such a faggot

My quads were ginormous, I looked like I had mom legs. So I worked out with my SO today and cardio'd and stretched, in insane sauna-like conditions, and already I feel/see the difference. Working on getting off binge eating too. I had a salad for breakfast for the first time ever and it was filling.

>>7780400

Shit, I'm 25" too and 5'0", even when I'd dropped weight into the 80s it didn't budge from that.

Lucaille finally released an amatsukaze wig and I'm just so disappointed with the way they decided to execute the style. Looks like I'll be buying a long wig + clip on twintails like I originally planned. It'll be way more expensive but it'll look better. I might try to mess with the tails' clip base a bit to make it appear more pointed.

It's been more than 24 hours since I hit the BIN button on a skirt on LM and the seller hasn't invoiced me yet. I even messaged them to confirm my paypal email immediately after winning the auction. I just want that fuckin skirt. Maybe I should message them again, but I don't want to be annoying.

I'm with you there. I can't even knit well. My only "skills" are gardening and baking, and those don't even count because the only reason people think I'm good at them is that no one my age even attempts them. I wish I had learned to play an instrument when I was younger.

Untrusting can lead to isolation and thus lonelyness. Why don't you trust people Anon? Some previous relationship/friendship betrayals?

>>7781236
There's also peoples who tends to be natural lone persons, and who don't easily trust other peoples. It's not always due to a past trauma.

But it can be quite aggravating.

Paycut is related to moving from my current location to another one, not for my lack of performance.

>>7781590
Are you a 3D Animal Crossing character

>>7781739
No, why?

>>7781745
You talk about fishing a 6ft hammerhead shark as it was an everyday thing, also actually tried to capture it. U must be either Animal's Crossing major who's trying to pay it's debt, or a Pokémon trainer.

>>7781750
While I specifically have gone fishing for sharks that size I wasn't aiming for it that night, I was aiming for something under 3 feet that night (maybe a small lemon shark) and how that shark didn't snap my line or cut it with its serrated skin I'll never know. I wanted to pull it up to the pier so I could get my picture taken with it, possibly win money (our pier fishing shop pays everytime somebody breaks a pier record) and let it go. Nothing infuriates me more than those stupid inbred hicks who keep majestic creatures like that just so they can mount it on a wall on some Billy-bobs double wide or attempt to sell their fins on the black market.

Can't quite find an analogy to make it /cgl/ related so sorry about that

How does someone get to fucking 26 and not learn to be responsible enough to go to fucking work? I don't understand.

>>7781790
I believe in you anon.
You will make it trough I'm sure of it.

>>7781321
I almost the exact same problem except that I'm still doing the same major. Everytime I was going to register something stupid came up like grades that were not put up in the system or that they couldn't find my payment and now I'm 5 days away from starting school again and I'm not registered for anything yet.

>>7781810
Uh, did you ask to get the flat to yourself for a bit or..express how great it would be to have that time off to be alone? Because otherwise shit's on you. Your flatmate's not fucking psychic and it's not like people who can afford to do so never take a weekend/time off.

Tell them to stop hovering over you. Issue solved. Plan better next time.

>>7781841
I have both mentioned that I'd like to be alone, and mentioned I don't like hovering many, many times. It still happens.

>>7781852
Well, they have a right to stay at home if they want to, it's their flat as well.

>>7781852
>>7781841 Here
Oh, that suuucks, then. This seems like one of those situations that won't get resolved unless you get really firm or snap on them one day. Sorry, anon

I have a problem, where I buy impulsively and end up regretting it so I try my damnedest to justify it.
>"Oh, well, at least I know this is something I won't use"
But then I'm stuck with it.
>"Oh, well at least I know I shouldn't eat this, it doesn't taste good"
I still spent money on it.

And so on. It's driving me insane. What do I do?

>>7778664
Honestly, I just politely say thank you and move on whenever someone compliments me.
Even if I don't agree, I don't say it because then it feels like I'm fishing.

What do people even want to hear when they compliment them?

>>7781644
I'm in the same boat, anon.

>>7781913
I guess people just want to hear some gratitude, but...

Then again, why be gracious for something unwarranted?

>>7781914
we can get through this anon. we'll find friends that won't just drop us for the next person they see.

I just bough a tank top that says "Overdressed and underpaid" and I really wish there was a way to wear it lolita. Maybe I can commission a cutsew.

>>7781909
This just means you are a perfectly raltional human being.
It's called post-purchase rationalization, and we're all subject to this.

>>7781277
Whoever you have sex with probably is bad. Or you're bad.

>>7781913
this. If you disagree you're fishing, if you don't you're stuck up. I look confused and nervous when I thank people, so I guess they may not think that, but what else am I supposed to say? I usually go with "haha thanks, if you say so".

>>7781920
It's not rocket science.
Someone says a compliment, if you agree or not, just politely says "thank you".

Note that a compliment is also a good glass-breaker to engage a conversation, especially in a con.
Just don't overthink it. It was a compliment that it as it is.

>>7781939
Still unwarranted though, and often done with ulterior motives.

>do a quick sale on a pair of boots on LM
>LM admins bitching because I only have one boot pictured.
>Logic dictates "Why would I sell just one boot? Who benefits from one shoe?"
>"LEL POST PICTURES BY TOMORROW OR YOUR POST COMES DOWN."
>mfw I'm on my way out of state and I won't be back til day after tomorrow.
>Mfw over a single boot not being in the picture.

I understand why but I'm just so miffed.

>>7781954
Compliments don't needs a warrant, it's the very essence of a compliment.

And I can't tell for the motives, depends of the peoples I guess.
If I stop a cosplayer to ask for a picture and find the costume nice, I drop a little word, and that's it.
Just being nice don't need justification anon.

>>7781956
I think they just want to be a little harder now and enforce the new rues and you were just the unlucky one the mods found.
But I kinda understand it; it could be that the other boot is damages/scoffed/whatever as shoes often are when they have been worn, hence the seller only pictures one boots. It comes of a little shady, like only showing the top part of a dress as a proof picture.

Just delete the listing and put them back on once you can take a proof bicture of both shoes.

>gets stood up today
>it's not his fault, but i still feel awful
I got up early too to look all nice and stuff. Today was suppose to be super fun now I feel like shit. I ended up baking some cookies, but they look and taste awful.

>>7781966
Yes it does. People are nice to each other for whatever reason. Sometimes it's genuine, for the sake of being nice, often times it's not.

>>7781981
What were you supposed to do today?

>>7781982
That's true, some peoples have ulterior motives, but I suggest you shouldn't see the bad everywhere when peoples make a compliment.
And if you feel like there's a snake under rock, just smile and forget about it.

>>7781983
go eat octopus with it's tentacles still moving and then hangout at arcade/movies

>tfw want straight bangs so i can wear rectangle headdresses
>tfw look like some kind of emo rockabilly edgy hell bunny bitch with them

>Local cosplay meetup
>all my cosplays are in repairs for next con so wear lolita
>Bring BF because he loves when I wear lolita instead of cosplaying boys and wants to go to cons together with me.
>He's a built guy with a short temper so I feel safe in lace with him.
>Short temper means I'm also bringing him to get him used to stupid people at cons.
>Hundreds of weeababies
>He squeezes my hand whenever he's irritated by screaming man children and people who get too close to the skirt of my dress.
>He soon calms down a bit and I introduce him to my friends and share old stories with him.
>Before long hes confident enough to walk around on his own and investigate.
>He gets to tell off a creepy guy who was staring at me and a friend.
>End of day I'm sad because I made no lolita friends, but really happy because he's excited about going to his first anime con.

Feels great.

>>7781831
I've been refreshing my school's registration site all damn day.
The director actually got back to me and just told me what I already knew, "Just go to the first day of class and ask the instructor if people didn't show up."
Tomorrow I have a 6 hour filler class and the class I need are night classes.
Basically going to be there all day just to see if I can actually even enroll into the class.

>>7781981
>>7781988
I know that feel Anon, that sudden "I can't make it" after you were really looking forward to it and getting ready for it. that feel sucks.

>Had parts of this cosplay for four years.
>Always intended on doing it, had most of it done already.
>Had only lost hope because I couldn't find literally any fabric I liked.
>Decide "What the hell, I'll try again this year"
>Find the perfect fabric at JoAnns
>Go to get it cut, ask the width because I forgot to check.
>She inverts the numbers.
>It's 45 in instead of 54.
>Procrastinate and realize I don't have enough fabric.
>"Whatever, I'll call around!"
>No where has it.
>Father who's visiting Illinois even checks the JoAnns by where he's staying.
>After hours of searching and calling four different JoAnns, he's the one to get the answer.
>It's been discontinued through the whole company.

Fuck, man.

>>7782093
Post fabric in bst and any cosplay groups? Someone is bound to have it somewhere.

>tfw you realize drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and eating chicken nuggets is not an effective weight loss strategy

>>7781590
Good news:my shoulder wasn't as bad as I thought it was and should fix itself by late September

Bad news:That shark is still out there and somebody's probably gonna catch him and win that money before I can get back out there

For the past week/two weeks I've been having this pain in pic related area of my thigh and every few hours it like throbs and pulsates and is super painful, I'm a 21 year old girl and I'm scared to shit I have a lethal blood clot or something.

>>7782207
>tfw you keep losing weight long after you decide not to lose any more weight

>>7782248
Is that where you keep your phone(large pockets)? I had a feeling like that come and go before and I figured out it was because I kept my phone there and was constantly moving that leg while I was sitting or walking around a lot. Not from the phone signal giving me a tumor or anything, just from having a large piece of plastic, metal and glass in my pocket 24/7. Again I wear pants with large enough pockets that my phone would sit about there.

>>7782280
No, I don't carry anything in my pockets. I'm not overweight, I don't smoke, I do light exercise (walking). The sensation is like a hard, pulsing pinch in my thigh that ebbs and flows in how much it hurts for about 10-15 minutes and then goes away. This happens like every hour or so

>>7782290
That's kind of hot.

>>7782290
It's more likely that you've pinched the muscle and have minor nerve damage. It'll probably go away.

>Unless you're taking Yaz/Yazmin, whatever it's called in the US.
>Can cause blod clots.

>>7782293
Nah it's kind of really unpleasant and painful. It doesn't feel like someone's pinching my thigh fat, it feels like someone is pinching the muscle underneath.

>>7782298
Nope, not on any medication or BC

>>7782302
It sounds like it might possibly be something with your nerve too. How long ago did it start? Better to start talking to a doctor about it in case it is something more serious.

>>7782302
>>7782310
Than it's likely you pinched a muscle like >>7782298 said, you can do that without even really noticing it for a while.

>>7782290
You may've pulled something and/or have a knot in the muscle there. Worst case though it could be something more serious, so I'd book a doctor's appointment. If one's available to you though, definitely check out a physio and they can access if it's a muscle thing or something else.

>>7782265
I'll trade. I'm not gaining anymore weight, buy I'm certainly not losing it.

>>7782327
>>7782302

I have a doctor's appt already booked in...a week? Two weeks max? For an unrelated issue, so I'll bring it up then.

>>7782302
Oh, yeah I get something kind of like that in my jaw occasionally.
The best way to describe it would be it feels like the muscle comes out of alignment sometimes when I open my mouth.

I have this problem where if I look at a projector screen, I will get sleepy. Today I find out all of my classes use them. Fucking hell it was so hard keeping myself from looking like a lazy idiot.

>mfw I come into my last class and realize there's a projector

>>7782378
Find someone to fuck you to stay awake.

I want to work extra hours because theyre practically begging and hey I could always use the extra money

>faint after working almost an 8 hour day
>hospital says nothing is wrong and im fine
>continue to almost pass out near the end of 8 hour shifts

On a plus side:
>relieved that friends who told me they didnt have space for me in a room had someone dropped and I can stay

>>7782290
I used to get this really bad in my calves during the middle of the night of wake up screaming.
For me, it was just muscle spasms. They'd tighten up really bad and wouldn't let up.
I got prescribed a muscle relaxant and ir did wonders

The only okay thing that's happened to me lately is that I've been sleeping early for these past few days. Other than that, things are about the same, as in, pretty sad.

>>7783032
that feel

sleep around 5 - 6 pm every day now

>>7783054
Yeah, that sometimes happened to me, if I even managed to get that far. For the past few weeks I would sleep in the afternoon and wake up at night. And somehow, I've broken that cycle, sleeping at 10 PM the past few nights, although I woke up at 8 AM today rather than 6. So... it's something, I guess.

>>7777562

Just find that swiss lolicon guy and stand next to him. Problem solved,

I've been struggling to coord a new JSK I got, but then I stopped by goodwill to rummage around yesterday.. There was a gorgeous silk blouse (offwhite/light ivory, small peter pan collar, short puffed sleeves) for less than $4 that goes amazingly with my JSK. I've never been so happy about a thrift find in my life.

>>7783054
>>7783061
>tfw going to bed around 10 PM and waking up at 1 PM the next day
>not well rested, groggy, really just want to go back to sleep
>tfw day wasted
Apparently I slept straight through my alarm until it ran out of batteries. The fuck do I do?

I can't fucking stand my family

Why do seagulls have to shit on people for stuff they have no control over? I don't get it. Especially when some things are so obviously untrue and just nitpicking.
Whenever I see some efamous girl getting torn to shreds on here or lolcow it's always shit like "xDDDD her hair is so ratty lmaooooo" or "she uglaaaay xDDD" when none of those things are necessarily true.
Can you not just stick to making fun of people for being a lolcow/weeb/whatever else it is that they do that bothers you without nitpicking the shit out of their physical appearance? It's just so obvious and catty, because you people try SO hard to find a flaw in person x you start making fun of things that are perfectly okay.

>inb4 hi x

>>7783085
They want to hurt peoples, so they use the classic tactic of mocking the body.
That's all really.

WHY IS FISHING SO FUCKING HARD THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO START MY MORNING

>>7783071
swiss-anon here, who are you talking about? I'm afraid I might know them...

Good feels
>Got an interview for part time admin job, if I get this job it means I can afford some lolita accessories I've had on my wishlist for a while and can contribute to bills more.

Bad feels
> Friend who also applied for the job (there's 3 vacancies) and who has 5+ years career experience on me got a rejection letter.
> Feel bad because they need the money more than I do.

I'm finally sewing the last fastenings onto my bootcovers and I think my hands are going to fall off but I'm so damn relieved to be done.

>>7782522
Are you eating enough? Because if you're not eating and working for eight hours, that could definitely make you pass out.

>tfw no tall, short-haired gf to be a qt lesbian couple with
>tfw no qt tomboy to cuddle while watching animu together

WHY LIVE

>Go to the country mom and dad came from for vacation
>relatives spoil me to death because I'm the youngest (all other cousins are in their mid/late twenties)
>nice cheap clothes everywhere, food everywhere
>convenient as fuck
>both aunts are badass as fuck
>spend half of my vacation at aunt 1's house, half of my vacation at aunt 2's house
>feels bad because family problems back at home and no matter how much affection they show me they'll never be my real parents
>will be going back on September 2nd, want to stay here forever
>mfw have to go back no matter what
I don't have anything, not even friends or a sound family back at home, so I just want to live here forever. Sadly, I don't have the resources to move here and there's a slight language barrier as I can only speak the language here, not read or write it.

>relationship falling to pieces
>bracing myself for the impact, any day now
>"teehee everything is fine love what are you talking about I love you the most"
>at this point I couldn't give less of a fuck
>that weird point where I don't know whether to laugh or cry
>neither of us was an arsehole per se, the relationship just kind of broke under the stress and financial issues
Mary give me strength and keep the pints coming

>>7783273
I feel you anon. I recently discovered that I have a weakness for short girls, but everything else is spot on

>>7783289
cant read it?
where is dis?

>all my female anime friends are at least 7-8 years younger than me
>age differences makes me feel awkward for starting any sort of romantic involvement

>tfw it make me think im getting too old for this shit.

>>7783347
You are, nothing's creepier than some 28+year old trying for a girl who just turned 18. I remember one time a 30yo man tried to steal (we were dating but not official yet) and I literally told him "dude she was six when you graduated high school" she promptly became creeped out by this and stopped seeing him leaving her all to me

Not trying to be petty or insulting dude but as a 21 year old male myself I know my clock is ticking and I've only got a few good years left before shit starts to get real creepy

>>7783369
Once you get into your 20's though, it's not that weird.

Like, if anon is, say, 28, it's not super strange if he dates a 21 year old. After you get away from the teen years, the age differences become less and less important.

> tfw no money to get a student dorm

I wish I could stay in the dorms right next to all my classes, but instead I'll have to travel back and again each day..

Read about cosplay and look at pictures online.
>This is pretty cool maybe I should give it a try

Realize that I am a grown man, too old for cosplay.
>tfw skinnyfat and no friends so it never gonna happen anyway.
>tfw yuropoor cannot afford plane tickets

Now I just lurk this board and imagine how it must be to go to the large US conventions.

>I don't even like anime.

>>7783408

>>7783369
i see what youre saying but youre kinda blowing it out of proportion.

friends im talking about are 21-22. not once did i ever think about going for someone whos still a teen. hell, not even when they are 20.

>>7783369
Fuck no.
Starting 20 you can do whatever you want until you're like 30, and not aiming at teens.
Age difference don't matter much during that time.
A friend of mine got a gf 5 years younger than him and it goes perfectly fine.

Feeling great!
Yaya Han posted some Anita Sarkeesian video on her FB saying the video is very important while being true and informative.

She's now in full damage control as everybody call her on her bullshit.
It's wonderful

>>7780705
Congrats!! I am so happy for you. Have fun and best of luck!

> trying to lose weight again (used to be 150kg mega fat. dropped a lot but still obese )
> post on fb to get friends support
> tfw most of the replies are "nuuu love your body" "fat is beautiful and healthy" "you'll get so many injuries exercising" "curvy is hot!"

wtf who are these people. I might have diabetes if I dont fix (from being obese before and added family history) and hardly anyone is encouraging weight loss. just needed to vent because it makes me fucking angry. so over this "fat is healthy" bull crap >:(

>>7783487
Post a really passive aggressive reply about how you are comfortable in your body thank you very much but you're losing weight because you don't want fucking diabetes

>>7782378
I have a similar issue, I have afternoon classes and when I drive to class, the sun is usually setting and once it hits my eyes, I begin to get drowsy. It is bad since I am driving and I have a hard time focusing in class.

>>7777394
Lose some weight then, god.

>>7783487
Good job for not giving in and being brainwashed their stupid mentality though, anon. I mean, if someone loves their body, wouldn't they want to make it as healthy as possible anyway? Just ignore their stupidity.

Good luck with your weight loss, you can do it!

>>7783487
god damn, i fucking hate it when people reply with that shit.

a friend of mine was in a similar situation. her new job has her walking around everywhere and she started to hate being out of breath so easily and whatnot.
she started making FB post about her excising, changing eating habits,etc. of course she also posts about complaints because of her adjustment to her new lifestyle.

of course that lead to people posting stuff like "you're fine just the way you are!" "stop doing those things because it sounds like its hurting instead of helping!".

i sent her words of encouragement too keep it up but I actually got shit on by her friends because they think im just saying that because shes fat and that i hate seeing fat girls. stupid shit like that.

>>7783537
Being brainwashed by* their stupid mentality. Goddamn it.

>>7783445
I generally dont care about Yaya but what are they saying?
just curious because anita is greatly against character sexualization and yaya, of course, sexualizes everything.

>>7783115

Fuck if I remember what he's calling himself. He does a lot of loli djs unboxing vids on the tube or something like that. He also visited a con dressed as a magical girl, I think.

>>7779142

Nothing will happen because both of them are chickenshit outside of the net.

>>7783553
You bet.
This is one of the most voted comment :
> So someone who makes a living off of cosplaying over-sexualized video game women is supporting someone who believes video games over-sexualize women. I love it!
She's getting shredded, and ever made a tl;dr post because "blahblah this is so mean blahblah".

>>7783603
oh god. i guarantee the follow up is going to be "im a victim now!" "im being oppressed!" "this is why we need feminism!".

>>7783369
I started going out with someone who was 28 when I was 19 (nearly together 4 years now). Younger guys can be just as fucking creepy as older guys you know. Age difference doesn't really mean jack shit when both are at a consenting age and both are mature about relationships.

>>7783742
I never said young guys weren't just as creepy, the problem therein lies with you're dating someone who was old enough to pick you up when you were in day care.

>>7783244
Yea, I try to eat as much as I can and only drink water but I still end up feeling like that

>>7783537
Thanks hah... I actually posted "how can fat be healthy if I am going to get diabetes?!?!" then reassessed my friends list and deleted a bunch of them ><"

>>7783540
Ahh I hope your friend found a balance ^^" People can be so stupid about it... I hadn't really realised before it happened to me
