>Find a Surface Spell dress I really like
>Friend loves it too
>Decide to get the same one in different colorways for twinning
>Her favourite is dark blue, she finds accesories everywhere
>My favorite is green and I'm apparently incapable of finding a pair of shoes that match

I'm tempted to go with the black colorway just to make it easier, but I don't like the golden embroidery.

>>8000469

I found the black and gold personally hard to coordinate myself, and not as striking as the green colorway.

I think you should go for the green one. It's exceptionally stunning. I think if you type in 'surface spell' on tumblr, you can get ideas for coords that don't necessarily involve green everything as well.

>>8000435
What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>8000480
Thanks for the recommendation, I feel a bit more sure about my choice now. I found to gold details too flashy for my taste.

I think my friend is going for white blouse + white tights + blue shoes and I wanted to do the same with green shoes, but I'll look for worn pics. I'd like to see if it looks good with a black blouse despite having the white embroidery.

Friend randomly messaged me about a peacoat she bought and linked me to a site called rosegal.

>she thought that it was legit because it was advertised through facebook
>tfw trying to get her to understand that there are scam sites (aka: M*lanoo and friends)
>being this new to online shopping

I'm a little bummed that it hasn't been updated on the old lj list (then again, they don't carry lolita specifically, just a lot of recognizable fast fashion items from taobao shops).
I'm seriously hoping that at best she gets her money back.

And this is why you don't put out until after the fourth date (and even then it's if you must).

I sometimes regret deciding to live at home for university. It's comfortable and my mom is a wonderful angel, but my father is practically emotionally abusive.

There aren't many days when he comes back home from his shitty job in a good mood, he constantly complains about the purchases that I make with my own money, gets angry at me for inane and minor things, is completely incapable of raising my younger brother, starts to openly insult me at extended family gatherings after a glass of wine, forces us to bear his inane neoconservative ramblings about how the world is going to shit when he chooses to talk to us at dinner, and is in general a depressing and frustrating person to live with.

Being Asian and having been raised with traditional Asian values I feel obligated to love and support my parents, and in general I feel guilty about the fact that I'm thinking and saying negative things about a family member that I'm supposed to be very close to. Nevertheless, I can't change the fact that I just really, really strongly dislike my father, who has provided approximately zero support to me in any non-financial capacity throughout the entire course of my life--and it's not like he's very good at financially supporting the family either, because he's so completely risk-averse and inept at career advancement that he's barely been able to make any progress in his career whatsoever (leaving a pretty heavy burden on my mom).

Japanese?

I haven't felt cute in lolita the last 4 or 5 times I've worn it. The most recent meet-ups have been so stressful that, though I've had fun mostly, I find myself breaking down and crying. I just left a bunch of related groups on FB and I'm inventorying all but my favorite dresses to sell...I think I need to leave for a while, if not permanently.
Unfortunately, that means withdrawing from the friends I've made, and that sucks. (We hang out outside of lolita too but I can't be around any of it I really think.)

I just don't know. Everything fell apart (not just CGL-related stuff) and it's too much and I wish I had never gotten into lolita as much as I did and that I never relocated.

>>8004123

Isn't that exactly what he's doing? He started it. He's the one that's an ass to you and insults you for no reason and you're just reacting to asshattery like any normal human being would.

>>8004241

I have dark circles/bags and people tell me i'm super cute all the time.

> tfw dark circles and eyebags so strong you look like itachi from naruto

the only thing that covers it are my glasses...

My father is such a sweetheart but goddamn I don't understand what goes on in his head sometimes.

>"No anon I will not get you that frilly dress/ sewing machine/ anything else you want for your birthday it is too expensive and you don't need it"
>Okay, I understand.
>"btw I bought you a new iPhone and an iPad"
>But dad, there's nothing wrong with my current phone and I don't really know what I'd do with an iPad.
>"Whatever I couldn't think of anything else to give you and I'm your father so I like to spoil you"

He just gives me things he likes rather than listening to me about things I like. At this point I'd prefer if he didn't give me anything - I feel like a brat for not being super grateful for the random expensive stuff he buys me and I'd feel like an asshole selling them because they're a gift. He does the same with my technologically-challenged mother and now she has a phone, a tablet and a laptop she has no idea how to use.
I'm also kind of annoyed because that overlocker costs like half of the stuff he bought me and it's something I'd actually use, but that was supposedly too expensive and frivolous. I love you dad but wtf.

>have very small lolita wardrobe
>never wear anything of it because NEET
>even when I go to town I'm too scared to attract attention to wear it
>don't go to meets either because social anxiety

Is it even worth it or should I just sell of my wardrobe and stick to buying stuff I can actually wear in daily life?

>>8004592
I think he means he'd rather you get something "useful" than spend a lot on "useless" stuff.
I say "useful" because he sees it from his point of view, not yours, and it's useless to him so it must be useless to you as well.

>>8004596

Live like Momoko. Enjoy lolita because it's beautiful and you can, not because you feel obligated to share it with anybody.

>>8004596
Is it possible to get over social anxiety and wear it? You'll feel more confident at least and you get to wear what you want! Sorry I know that it's easier said than done.

I'm someone that's really shy. I consider social outings with people I don't really know well as "practice" for me to not be shy.. But I would never give up wearing lolita. I don't mind wearing it alone to town even. I try to just be in my own world and not let others bother me.

As for comm meet ups, I don't really know if you are missing out that much. Sure, I would recommend trying it. You might make some really good friends. I don't really relate to people in comm. We just all share the similar taste in fashion. If we don't talk about that, it's pretty much hard to have a conversation.

And don't feel like you have to wear ott coords. Everyone has their own taste. As long as you do your research and can avoid being ita, I don't think there's a reason you shouldn't have confidence in yourself.

>>8004592
Sounds like you've made it pretty clear how you feel about his gifts, however well-intended they are, so you might as well sell them and get something you actually want. Or ask him to give you money in future.

>>8004592
Sell it and buy 2 overlockers anon. Tell him the truth if he asks then he might pull his head out of his ass. Middle aged men are pretty set in their ways so dont expect much.

Not having huge problems, but I guess my life is super boring. Not a NEET at least, but feel like something is missing from life when there isn't much going on in my sphere of lolita.

Example:
>woke up this morning to buy a mystery pack from Angelic Pretty
>they didn't put them on sale after all
>took a nap
>woke up for the Baby sale
>nothing exciting so nothing was bought
>checked Closetchild again for anything exciting >nope
>checked Yahoo! Auc for anything exciting
>nope

Now I'm feeling emptiness and not sure what else to do for the rest of the day ;_;

R9k are thinking of putting together a backpage for satsuki cosplayers to escort.

I know there are tons and tons of escorts on cgl and amongst cosplayers in general.

>>8004596
Sounds like me. What I did was keep all my lolita stuff and figure out what I wanted from my wardrobe so I can feel comfortable wearing it outside. I started buying and making more otome style outfits that were still cute and "non-mainstream" but not as attention grabbing as lolita. After dressing like that for a while I felt more comfortable wearing my old lolita outside. Now I have a better idea of what I want my wardrobe to look like and most of my lolita stuff does fit in there, so I would really have regretted it if I'd sold everything. There's only one dress that really doesn't work and I'm selling that one.
I'm still too anxious to attend meets but I'm working on it. My comm is quite big and active and the concept of buying and selling within my own country is actually a good motivator to get more active in the community, no matter how scary it seems.

>>8004499
Nice! It's likely filmed in such a way to make an already short actor look even shorter. Given he's basically towered over by Joffrey when in reality there's probably less than a foot of height between them. I've got less stubby limbs and more proportion than he has, but it's definitely a fun idea to try.

Just like it's possible to "get over" depression, ADD/ADHD, and other things.
Easy!

>>8004648

>>8004643
Hey, anon. Don't even feel bad.
I used to be homeless, but it was mostly my own shitty choices that got me there.
I had a homeless buddy of mine who used to say "Anybody who starves in the US is an idiot", referring to single people who look after themselves.
There are shittons of help for the hungry. Food boxes, food banks, soup kitchens, church charities..
There was never a day where I went hungry when I was homeless.
Eventually I got my shit together and stopped making stupid decisions and being stubborn and made an effort to get myself together.

tl;dr: some people live the lifestyle of homeless and don't care about climbing any higher and "fitting in" with a normal society. Some are too deranged to care, too.

>>8004649
no dipshit.
>implying it's something you just "get over".

I must be an horrible person, but when I'm at a meet with my comm I judge people. Hard. I like talking with them regardless of their clothes, but man I judge their outfits so harshly. I keep it for myself unless I'm asked about it though. I don't get why won't they make simple yet cohesive coords that flatters them instead of costumey glued-together things. And also most of them have grainy makeup when they bother with makeup at all.
I try to keep it positive and compliments everyone on my favourite part of their outfits, secretly hoping they'll improve or ask for advices.

I was SO close to just walking the fuck out of Joanns yesterday with about 100$ worth of shit.

>went to Joanns right when they open to avoid a crowd
>oh good, there's only a couple people milling about!
>get my shit cut and the counter and get my slip
>shits heavy; get to the register and put it all on the counter
>3 registers, no one there.
>ring the bell for service
>wait for a minute
>ring it again
>wait for like 5 minutes
>christ, the door is, like, right there... I just wanna walk out.
>leave all my stuff and go across the store back to fabric counter
>"sorry, but could you call someone to ring me up?
>"yeah sure!"
>fabric lady radios up a cashier
>BITCH WAS LIKE 1 AISLE AWAY BITCH I KNOW YOU COULD HEAR ME
>gives me a fuckin' 'tude.
>oh sorry did I interrupt yer job?
>seriously wish I would have just walked out with the stuff

Christ, I know it's the holidays, but the Joanns is notorious for their shitty customer service and how fucking slow as balls and incompetent their staff is.
I only go there when ABSOLUTELY necessary.
Is every Joanns like this..?

I wish I woulda' just jacked that shit. ugh. I wouldn't have even felt bad.

>>8004649
People suffering from chronic depression can be. Just like people with anxiety disorders can have them forever. Its a case by case basis, some people get better and some dont.

>>8004651
Thanks anon, but I live in a shithole (not US/EU) where the government doesn't give a shit about the homeless and homeless shelters only open in extreme weather in winter.

The homeless here are mainly the disabled (lot of amputees) and elderly and it honestly breaks my heart to see that.

I would love to hand out dinner to them this Christmas but I've heard horror stories about beggars threatening legal action on people who do this by claiming the food made them sick to swindle money out of them. We don't have Good Samaritan laws of any sort either.

>>8004662
people with anxiety disorders can have them forever if they do not seek help, in which case it's their own fault.
You can't help being an anxious person, but you can help having anxiety/panic attacks.
Most of these are very treatable.

>>8004657
Same. Many girls in my comm dress quite well and I don't consider myself to be an amazing dresser but there are always a handful of women who genuinely look like they got dressed in the dark and I can't help but judge the hell out of them. Like not even severe colourblindness would excuse some of the messes these grown-ass women wear to meetups. It's especially bad when it's a fancy event with a special guest like Misako and these people show up in what looks like oversized toddler halloween strawberry shortcake costumes that don't even fit!
They're all very nice and I enjoy talking to them but if I could wave a magic wand that would replace their shitty outfits with something decent I would do it in a heartbeat.

>>8004669
I'm considering doing a lolita sleepover party with a makeup workshop, sadly my place's too small. I've talked to a few persons about it so hopefully it's going to happen. Some girls are pretty and well dressed, but some foundation would up their game x100. I shouldn't be bothered so much by it, but it feels meh to be surrounded by half-assed outfits, especially knowing that they put effort and though into it.

>broke as fuck until my next student loan

I fucking hate those people. Why do they have releases on a friday when most ordinary people are working?

>>8004665
>people with anxiety disorders can have them forever if they do not seek help, in which case it's their own fault.
Yep.

>you can help having anxiety/panic attacks.
Nope.

You almost had it.

>>8004632
Nah, part of it's camera work, but I think Jack Gleeson's a good 5'7"-ish.

>>8004699
I meant you can help as in it's treatable, not "you can switch it off at will". I had anxiety myself, so I know.

>>8004578
Same here, I wear pretty big frames to cover mine.

>tfw no amount of concealer will ever hide your dark circles

I feel like I'm getting 'popular' in my comm.
I'm invited to private meet-ups, people come to me at meet saying that I'm inspirationnal and they love my outfits/follow my social media etc. I jokingly remarked we didn't have any e-famous person at a big meet earlier this year and someone answered in the same tone that I was the e-famous quota.
I'm not good at being popular, and I don't want to be a model. I'm super bad at handling negativity, I'm chronically depressed and I don't want people to think I'm an example to follow. I try my best to be positive and nice and talk to everyone, but I'm really afraid of all of this backlashing in a way or another or in people being disappointed in me.
On the other side the attention feels nice and it's great to see something I worked hard on getting validated, and I like meeting all these new people and going out so much.
Don't know what to do.

>>8004714
ugh I've tried so many concealers and methods but it just doesn't seem to matter. The worst thing is that I prefer wearing my contacts because it's easier overall but then you'll see said dark circles and huge lines so both options suck

>>8004677

If it's a big enough com/group get together, pay for a hotel room for the night. Or if you have enough money, you do it, that way you can have a mini workshop in a seperate room

>>8004651
This.

Fucking this. I used to be homeless as well and the thing is, the homeless stay homeless because of their addictions. Even in shitty third world countries like the Philippines where the homeless stay homeless because of their crippling addiction of sniffing solvents. No amount of help can help them if they can't help themselves.

>>8004726
Enjoy the compliments but don't let any of it go to your head and tell people, "That's sweet, but really, I'm not 'efamous'" maybe in a shy way. If you get enough popularity, someone will be a dick to you eventually, but be ready to brush it off when it happens. Just enjoy the fashion and your friends.

>>8004726
if you worked hard for it, you definitely deserve it.

>>8004494
Tell your friend A to not accept her in the group and your problems. If she says no then you either have to stay and deal with it or just don't do it and watch the drama unfold.

>>8004640
>Five weeks

Get a fucking job then, quit milking everyone else that is working for their money.

>>8004640
Tell him that he doesn't need to yell at them.
He can explain the situation and push them to get it sorted without being mean about it.
If he doesn't want to be mean to people on the phone then he can easily be polite instead.

>>8004651
>>8004643

Yea, like they said. It's their own fault really.

Most of them are probably lazy junkies. You work for your money. Don't feel bad that you are more well off than someone, because of your choices.

That isn't to say you shouldn't help out where you can though. Volunteer a little at a soup kitchen, give to legit charities (Ones that actually help people, unlike a lot of main stream 'charities' that pay their CEOs millions and maybe 10% of the donations go to the cause)

Just don't do something stupid like give a bum cash, they will just go blow it on crack/booze.

>>8004685

They are doing you a favor. Buying clothes with money you don't have is retarded.

>>8004817
This. I'm not sure what it is about this fashion that attracts people with terrible spending habits, but it makes me cringe. Currently not working the most glamorous job, and after getting gutted to pay rent/utilities/food I only have about $300 each month for fun. I could get a credit card and pay things off gradually, but I would rather live within my means and spoil myself later. I love this fashion and it makes me happier than a lot of other things do, but I'll just fawn over the dresses I have rather than digging myself into debt just to have the newest things.

>>8004834
It's not this fashion anon, it's just that there are so many people with terrible spending habits. People will rather put themselves in debt then not having tons of fancy new things all the time.

can't say I was expecting your story to go that way

>>8004863
There's more but I don't want to go into details about it. It's pretty disturbing and personal but to sum it up:

>Friend B claimed he had an underage girl in his house (like 17.) We are both 28. He was like 25 when this happened. He found her at Youmacon or something and she's been following around like a puppy because he's "Kakashi!" from Naruto. She was a Sakura cosplayer?

>Because Friend B is my baby daddy his mother tells me a lot of shit about him which included the above if I like it or not. She's reallllly autistic

>Friend B's mom was a total bitch to me when I was pregnant and refused to believe Friend B assaulted me

>The only reason why I still remain contact with Friend B is due to money, our son, and because I was a stupid bitch and I believe this is god's way of punishing me

>Friend B tried to have sex with me while I was sleep without my consent because his girlfriend wasn't giving him sex so he thought I was an easy target. My mom apparently let him in and assumed we was having sex

>>8004871
I don't even know how to respond to this other then Friend B should go burn in hell

>>8004880
You shouldn't blame yourself anon, please try to realize that no matter how hard it is. It'll be better for you and your kid okay. Love yourself.

>>8004881
When this happened I was sort of suicidal (back when I was 19) from personal issues and I just found out that my first bf tried to kill himself and his parents. (Not sure about him now.) To make it worse Friend B tried (and did) assault me twice. He claims that our son's disability is my fault because nobody in his family has issues even though his brother is bipolar.

I tried to just suck it up because I felt that I should of fought back, we have a child together, so I just went along with whatever bullshit he did or wanted (like complain about Friend A being a pussy,) and "Oh he didn't mean to punch me/ignore me at that anime con/he will get better!!!11" but I regret it now because he just got worse and worse.

He's with some short girl he met at a con (another one,) now and he used to beg me in emails to take him back or have sex with benefits because her vagina wasn't good enough (or something about it being too sensitive I dunno I just ignored it.) I had to block him several times and I deleted them all. I told the courts that I couldn't be in the same room alone with him because I don't know what he would do to me.

It was a basic form of abuse and I'm paying the price for it now. I know anon. I was a stupid bitch. I'm just venting and crying right now because I didn't know my (ex) friends kept in contact.

Fuck fuck fuck, I didn't think I would be stealing it from anyone I knew. I'm in too deep, I can't return it now without looking like a bitch (not that I'm not one, but I don't like people to know)

And apparently I can't even sell it because Apple has an "authentication lock" on all their devices.

I'm filled with guilt and dread, maybe if I hide it under the floorboards I'll be alright.

>>8005123
Damn, that's fucked. A lot of those success articles are a steaming pile of bullshit too; they aren't written by people that are actually successful.

An important to note is that-- ANYONE can be useful to you at some point in time. And someone with a grudge can just as easily fuck you over if they get the chance.

You get absolutely nothing by cutting off people. If you don't want to hang out with someone anymore--don't invite them anywhere and don't accept their invitations to go places. You still want to remain friends, but just don't meet up anymore.

Seriously, it's super weird. If I found an ipad, I would try to give it to the desk immediately for them to return. But hey, I'm not everyone, and you know what usually happens to ipads and iphones in the end.

Sorry my jimmies were rustled so I deleted my post.

I had things stolen from me from friends out of my own house so things like this ugh.

>>8005167

Don't worry. I thought I missed something in the post, and I re-read it again. I'm still standing by my post because now it seems even sketchier with 'omg i didn't know i would be stealing from someone I KNEW." Like, why should that matter. Do ethics suddenly change because you don't know someone? Or is it shame that motivates you?

Ugh, yeah, I'll believe you. Thankfully haven't had that happen to me but it sucks when you can't trust people over even things like items.

>>8000435
I have become everything I hated, completely and utterly. The realization that I wasn't kind; I was naive. When I obtained power over others, I did exactly what others did. I'm greedy, immoral, and petty. There's no going back now; I might as well go all the way.

I feel so fucking disgusting. At least when I was a poor student part-timer, I didn't stab others in the back for money. I straight up sabotaged some man's career, and possibly his life.

>>8005138
While not in the context of stealing, I've said stuff I didn't mean to say. Like Yes instead of No. At least I don't feel alone now.

But I remember once borrowing a hair clip from my sister in law once without asking. I just wanted to try it on. So I took it from her bathroom when she wasn't around, went downstairs to my room. Open the alligator clip. It falls apart. And then I hid it somewhere forever feeling guilty.

I could have glued it back together, but I didn't think of the possibilities back then yet. ;_;

>>8005185
If you feel disgusting then you have remorse and you can change. The people who don't give a fuck or don't see anything wrong are the people who can't change.

Dress cute but not inconvenient for travel

I got my first ever dress today in the mail. It fits, it's beautiful, and even if it's indie brand and secondhand, I felt prettier than I ever have trying it on. After years of admiring the fashion from afar, it's a great moment for me.

>>8005138

>degrading your personal integrity and betraying a friend over an iPad

They're not even that great. What's wrong with you? Give that back and tell the friend that you happened upon it in one of the rooms, recognized it was hers, and grabbed it before someone else stole it.

>>8004592

What is happening is he is buying both your presents in advance, so by the time you mention a frilly dress, whatever, he's already spent all sorts of money on an expensive gift.

Even if not, dang, you shouldn't complain about an ipad or iphone... can't you sell it and buy pretty dresses? Or ask him for a VISA giftcard with money on it so you can use it online. I'm sure he doesn't want to order himself a frilly dress. Or even ask him for a gift certificate from some stores you like, casually mention it or a couple months before your birthday/Christmas, leave it on a note where he can find it easily, so he feels it is a surprise.

Not discarding your feels, but certainly this can be solved.

>>8005401

You could go simple maybe? Black tights, nice shoes (I hope your buying some awesome shoes with that first dress!), a black blouse, then accent it with some gold jewelery. A hairpiece with gold accents? I would just let the red be. Like a focal point. So you don't look like a Christmas ball.

>I'd love to wear lolita, but I wouldn't have the slightest clue to put it together. Oh dear.

>>8005600
loli anon and yes to everything you mentioned. This was the wig i planned on getting but in dark brown. My friend has a bunch of black lolita shirts she said i could borrow as well as possibly some shoes. I'm going to buy as much as i can w/o trying to borrow too much.

does /cgl/ think /fit/ girls look good in lolita? i've loved egl for a decade, and now that i finally have the money for it, i am pretty /fit/ (broad shoulders, big quads, larger bust because of benching)

>>8005732
You might look better than a huge fatty, but tbh you might have a hard time getting things that fit in the same way.
Lolita is forgiving in the way that knee-length skirts hide huge thighs and poofy skirts balance out broad shoulders, but also pretty unforgiving for larger sizes and trouble with sleeves/socks/tights/etc. possibly being too tight.

I mean if some Brolitas can do it, you probably would be able to too, but just know you have a bigger chance of looking bad if you don't know what you're doing.

> mfw fatass
> desperately want to lose weight

>>8005746
I know this is probably something that you've already seen, but purging is the worst because it doesn't even 'work.' You won't lose weight by doing it. Most people who purge regularly can at best only maintain their weight.

I hope you can get some help, anon.

>>8005742
Yeah, the unbalanced fit possibility was my concern. I am 5' 1" and 112lbs, but I have had trouble not fitting the bust, arms, and shoulder part of dresses and jackets while being loose in the waist. Looking better than fatty-chan doesn't mean much... I just want to look like a tiny, cute and feminine lady.

>>8005727
It could be that your bodies are just shaped differently. I'm slim with a wide frame, so when I'm facing someone directly, I look pretty average, but when I turn profile, I appear much skinnier. My best friend looks slimmer than me from the front because of how her body is proportioned, but my waist is actually smaller than hers.

>>8005732
I can tell you right now you might have trouble finding blouses that sit properly on your shoulders and you'll probably want to avoid printed tights if you have muscular calves because they'll just look stretched out.

>>8005755
That's true and I get that, its just weird to think we're so close when I feel like a landwhale by lolita standards

>>8005755
I avoid calves, so I'm okay there. They're actually disproportionately small in comparison to my legs. Do you have any luck with certain brands or types of blouses fitting?

>>8005750
I logically know that already, but it's gotten to the point I feel mentally? sick when I don't do it. I've managed to reduce it to only once a day at least, but I've been stuck there for a while.

Thanks though, anon.

>>8005752
Hmm...Do you know your measurements?
Either way, listen to what this anon >>8005755 says, and also I would suggest avoiding short sleeves whenever possible, because of fit and also I think it can make your shoulders look even broader if they're puffed. Also maybe make sure to go for JSKs that can be laced tighter/have waist ties since waist size seems to be a problem for you. I mean there's a lot that do thankfully, but just a thing to keep in mind I guess.

Wish you luck if you do decide t start though.

>>8005767
I don't know my shoulders, but I'm an inverted triangle shape (no surprise) with 35 - 24 - 35.5 as my basic measurements. I have a wide body, though.

Puffy sleeves do look HORRIBLE on me, but okay, I'll just avoid short sleeves. Thank you ~

>>8005764
I tend to go for open flowing sleeves, like princess style, because I also have stupidly long arms so cuffed long sleeves are too short, and short sleeves look bad due to shoulders. Try making sure the blouse's shoulder measurements will fit yours; it'll mean the rest might be looser, but you can either hide that in a JSK or take it in where needed. And I get most of my blouses from taobao (Infanta and Magic Tea Party had made a couple of my favorites) and rather like the fit.

why what the fuck is this shit, I want your dress and I lowball you in hopes you'll be like "that's too low, how about this?"
am I doing it wrong?
I lowball people usually $50 lower than what I want to buy it for and do research knowing my WTB price isn't unreasonable.

mannn, what do I do?

>>8005421
been looking for a gold blouse to coord with the same jsk
>fucking sold out

>>8005864
It's because they're bitches, honestly. If someone offered me too low, I'd try to compromise with a price I was more comfortable with. A reasonable seller (one who has stated that offers are okay, mind you, otherwise its a little rude) should always be willing to haggle on an overpriced item.

>>8005864
You could be doing it wrong. Some people aren't interested in just selling the dress for the "proper"/market value, you're just interested in that as the buyer. As well as pricing up to be greedy, they might be attached to the dress or finding shipping a hassle, and therefore want above the actual value to make the selling feel 'worth it'.

Also if you're doing $50 lower on people who don't say that they're open to offers, that's just fucking stupid.

what dress was it anon?

>>8005901
Depends on how you make the first offer. If you come across as a turbocunt I won't even bother haggling I'll just say I'm not interested in that price.

>>8005912
We will talk about weeby stuff with you, anon

>>8005930
it was a non-print AP dress, I don't even remember the name so in the end not much of a loss.
>>8005932
yeah, of course, I wasn't snoody about it or anything,
I even had my lolita friends help proofread what I was going to send to make sure it was alright.

I think it's definitely a case of "I like these things so EVERYONE likes these things and when you say you like other things you're just confused or something". I'm pretty sure he has Aspergers, actually. That can run in the family, right?
He means well but can't grasp the idea that not everyone is exactly like him.

>>8005596
Nah I know for a fact that he bought them a day before my birthday (he's a shit liar and I saw him wrapping stuff with a huge grin on his face the evening before), whereas I've been talking about that overlocker for months. Of course I could just sell them but it would definitely hurt his feelings because he thinks he got me something awesome. He's just really bad at communicating and it's only gotten worse since I've moved out. Casually mentioning things does absolutely nothing, and when he does pick up on something it's always the wrong thing.

I'm well aware that I have a cool dad and I wouldn't want to trade him for anyone else but he can be a bit tiresome at times. I'm just glad he's staying within his means and isn't buying everyone cars or boats or something.

>>8005995
My dad used to have a habit of buying me expensive toiletry and perfume sets. I can't use them usually because I have eczema that's flared up by most toiletries because of strong scents and chemicals. My dad knows this but kept forgetting, which is weird considering I inherited it from him. This went on for about 2 years, with me repeatedly reminding him, until my mum put her foot down and showed him all the unopened sets in my closet.

>>8004578
>>8004714
>>8006020

It's the prolonged use of glasses that caused them in the first place

Go to an early Christmas dinner in Lolita, everything is fine. Mum's boyfriend comes in, says I look great but asks what costume I'm wearing. Tell him it's not a costume, he insists "No it must be a costume, what character are you?" Try to laugh it off say, "There's no character, just me!" but he totally ignores me, going "No, you have to have a character, I'm going to call you Emily cause you look like something from Wuthering Heights!" Calls me Emily the rest of the goddamn meal. Try to get mum to help me as I told her how much I dislike it being called a costume; I've told both of them more than once that it's not a costume, just a fashion, but they never listen, but she does absolutely jack-shit.

>>8006052
Start calling them names based on what they're wearing.
>"Oh, you're going out to dinner in that dress? That looks nice. Very classy, you look like a Katherine. It's an elegant name"
>"You're gardening? Wow, those gloves make you look like a total Gladice"
>"Those shoes, with that top? Nice one, Sharqueisha"

>>8006040
How so?

>>8006052
Sounds like he's trying wayyy too hard to be funny. Do you wear lolita often? If this is the only time he saw you wear it then I guess it can be hard to wrap his head around the idea that it's not a costume thing but if you wear it often he's just being an ass.

>>8006058
I do. He's seen me in it more than once and I've explained to him multiple times that it's not a costume.

It doesn't help cause I've had huge self-esteem issues for a while and I was finally starting to feel comfortable being who I actually wanted to be; starting to wear pink and Lolita after being an emo-kid for years, but now all I wanna do is stop wearing it because they're laughing at the person I actually am, you know?

I'm happy I could see them, I managed to ask a staff to get them my thanks after I stopped crying.
I also don't really understand why I started to cry, I might be really emotional. I'm really embarassed now because of it.

I really need to sell some dresses because I'm turning into one of those hoarder types, but I've already had them on Lacemarket for a while and reduced them a couple times... And I can't stand losing too much money on them. Shit sux.

go ask /po/
But you dont need a fucking special printer you ass, but you would need a 3D program to make a model and pepakura designer to 'unfold' it. I've made character papercrafts before as well as 3D models and resined them. It's not that difficult.

Then the majority of America is retarded because
>buying education with money they don't have

>buying houses with money they don't have
>buying material goods whose value is arbitrary with money they don't have

Credit doesn't make you more responsible than someone else, they're just paying it back over time with interest. The only time it's bad is when someone can't pay the bills and they're in over their head.

>>8006062

Tell him to go fuck himself, that's not your name.

>>8006187
are you implying they aren't

>>8006229
Credit isn't retarded. Only adult babies who want to pretend they're financially superior would blindly say that forming credit history, especially in America when it's essential to buy or rent, is retarded.
Also
>implying any guy would resist sharing a deep dish and a cigar with that grizzly bear

>>8006094
I see this kind of story all the time. Why are so many of you a) bad at communicating with your cosplay partners so they'll know right away that "life happened" and you might not make it or b) unable to be honest with your friends?

>create meet up
>itas join

>>8006187
Credit is important because it is proof that you are accountable for things. It's why people with credit get houses/apts and people without don't. Your credit score assures a renter that you will pay each month of the lease, not scramble for payments and back out and bail. Same with loans.

Most people can't afford a 100,000 house or 20,000 car out of pocket, it just doesn't happen. If you can't understand that I am praying for you, honestly. Credit/loans are such a basic thing and a basic part of the economy. If you have "good credit" you are more responsible because 1) you're typically paying back in full ASAP and 2) you manage your money well enough to be able to pay in the first place. People have bad credit when they only pay the bare minimum every month or when they fail to pay at all.

>>8006040

>>8006249
Do you even read? That anon is agreeing with you.

>>8006062
Then maybe not hang out with them? It's pretty simple.

>>8006245
I'm not disagreeing with you at all, I'm just wondering what the previous people were thinking by implying that putting things on credit must implicitly be irresponsible.

As you've said, as well as I have said, credit is only bad when people can't make good payments. And what about the original poster implied they wouldn't be able to pay it back? Nothing. That's all I was saying.

>>8006241
>I have a postercard of that cover art from when the editors of Bitch magazine visited my campus

Not many people feel comfortable dumping their own parent just because their new boyfriend is an immature ass, though. I agree that nobody is obligated to spend time with their family if they're shitty people but it's really not as simple as you say, especially if anon still loves her mom.

>>8006287

That anon was going to buy a dress on credit, because their student loan (credit) hadn't come through.

Buying a house and buying expensive vanity objects with credit that you will pay off with credit are completely different.

Someone admitted that they do this here:

>>7995163

>Been having constant UTIs and health problems
>Find out that my wisdom tooth on the left in the back didn't grow out all of the way
>Have to get it taken out because of infections
>Dentist recommends to take them all out
>Plan the surgery
>It's two months before an anime con in 2015 in March
>Can't find a second opinion or a way out of this
>Major surgery

>>8006444
Wisdom tooth removal will not affect your plans two months later unless you don't have insurance.

My face was more or less fine a week and a half after I had all 4 impacted taken out. I was working again 4 days after.

You eat like pudding and ensure for a week until the holes close up enough for real food, you rinse with a lot of mouthwash because you can only really brush your front teeth, and you take a lot of vicodin for like two days, and then you're fine. It's really not major surgery. Don't panic. You'll be fine.

>>8006444
>>8006479

Yea, like they said. I wouldn't worry. It's not that big of deal, you will be healed far in advance of that.

Just do what they say, don't go home and try to drink a milkshake or something.

I didn't even take any painkillers or anything

>>8006493
>milkshake

Yeah seriously don't even touch a straw for like 2 weeks after the fact it's pain and suffering. I'm an idiot and thought, "Oh well my face feels okay, I should be fine" and tried to drink a shake through a straw and ripped out two stitches.

>>8006493
I wouldn't recommend not taking painkillers. It's a gamble. You can end up in the worst pain you have ever experienced in your life, happened to me.

>>8006094
Dude, just fucking tell them. You've fucked this up for yourself. You could have gotten help from them/someone they have a connection with. Or they could have seen you were having a hard time and saved the cosplay for the next convention. It's a bit fucking late now

>>8006502
I took one vicodin and it made me feel terrible, so I just took ibuprofen and I was fine. It's really a thing you have to judge by how you feel.

When I first came home, I took a vicodin, cried for half an hour (thanks, anesthesia) and then fell asleep on a chair on my boyfriend's lap. When I woke up I'd drooled bloody spittle all over him, and he was sweet enough to not wake me up. Ruined his shirt, the blood stain never did come out.

>>8006479
>>8006493

I'm sorta paranoid because this is a student hospital and I've heard horror stories about this place. But they are the only place besides the local county hospital that accept my card.

To make it worse they didn't give me advice to not get another infection. I brush my teeth a lot but it seems to be that it's hard to reach spots under my gums were the tooth didn't grow all of the way out. Dentist gave me some brushy things that I never used before so I hope they help.

>OK
>Still feeling crappy about it
>FML I have like no other friends

Honestly the wedding is about me and my fiance, I didn't want there to be any drama or crap, just people having a good time. But it's harder than I thought to be all buddy-buddy and I try really hard, but end up not calling/texting her back at times. Not I see why people just run off to vegas/same sex get married at the courthouse with no big ceremony, it's still so complicated

Medieval fantasy theme though and it's the most fun thing to plan/prepare for, so that's keeping my thoughts busy. Still having feels about it though, and my fiance who is usually carefree has been bringing herself to tears no matter how much I console her because she's worried no one will take it seriously on our day and just see it as a novelty, just a "lesbian wedding". No matter how much you prepare yourself for these sort of things, it still catches you off guard.

>>8005864
I always assume that when someone makes an offer, that's about the most they can afford (like maybe $10 more, but that's it). If the offer is too low, I don't reply b/c I don't want to waste my time.

I've also found that people who make low offers tend to drop out of sales more than people who either buy at list price or ask for a smaller discount, say $20-$25, or free shipping, which makes me less inclined to start haggling with them.

>>8006502

I mean, worst case scenario, you aren't taking anything, now you are in a lot of pain, you take something. That was difficult.

>>8006596
Good luck with your instantly working pain killers. I'm not kidding here, those 20-30 minutes were the worst thing that ever happened to me. And that's not me being a pussy, I've heard from other people having the same experience. If you read up on it which I didn't at the time they warn you to take painkillers before the anesthesia fades.

>>8006407
And what about using their student loan money implies they won't be able to pay it back? I know people who spend their loan money on personal goods, that is nothing new and again not bad as long as they can pay it back. You're grasping at straws.

>>8004640
You can't get jobseekers while in full time education. My ex spent 9 months going back and forth with the job centre. Quit while you're ahead

>>8006583

>>8006570
I'm so sorry, anon. I guess at least your friend is still coming to your wedding and supporting you that way? Idk, that in itself seems like a stupid line to draw, but whatever. I'm sure you and your fiancee will both look amazing, and I hope you have a wonderful time.

>>8006647
I know *I" can't, but my partner is definitely entitled. It's just because we live together, it's technically a joint claim. For some reason living together and dating makes you financially responsible for one another (Being someone's parent doesn't, though) so they have to factor in my expenses as well.

>>8005925
If this is who I think it is, I'm glad things are working out for you, anon. I believe in you.

>>8006570
I know it can be hard to feel strong when you're constantly being invalidated because of a silly thing like the sex of your partner, but try and remember that just because some people have stopped looking at you like the people you are doesn't mean you, your feelings, and your relationship aren't just as real as any devoted straight couple.

>>8006698
Yeah you need to claim for a codependent via student finance not jobseekers. Sorry that jobseekers are so shit at telling you this stuff and you had to find out on 4chan of all places. They will likely mess you around for months before they tell you straight

>>8004609
Doing this now and it's pretty nice to retreat into my own frilly world. Totally not healthy, but damn do I like it.

I can't apply for student finance because I'm at college (Inb4 underage b&, I was a dropout and went back) not uni. I'm not entitled to anything from SF.

>>8005757
I've been there myself. If you genuinely think you're going to hurt yourself, check yourself in. As far as telling parents, it's embarassing as hell at first, but they're your first line of defense in suicidal tendencies because they won't pack up and leave you like shitty friends might. As far as medication goes, feeling like shit is somewhat normal but it's still good to talk to a doc about the side effects because there may be an effective med that won't be as bothersome.

>tfw horrendous acne and eczema
>tfw nothing my dermatologist prescribes me is working
>tfw I want to cosplay but can't because of my scaly pizza face

> tfw assburgers
> tfw suddenly feel really confronted with it

not even sure why, generally I just try to not think of it and go on with my life and try to be normal.
It also made me remember how I read this paragraph sometime after I got diagnosed which went "Well people with aspergers aren't that likely to have a relationship, friends, drive a car" and it went on and this was supposed to be an informative site but it just made me feel depressed as fuck.

> tfw you'll never be normal

>>8006776
That shouldn't make you depressed, unless you base your happiness on trying to be the most like everyone else you can.

I mean, people with aspergers usually dont have friends and shit, not because it's physically impossible or something, but because they don't get the joy in it that most people do.

So what if you won't have some things that most people do. Go out and be happy in your own way, have things most people don't.

And besides, that shit isnt a ticket to happiness. I've had a relationship, i drive a car, and shit, and i still want to kill myself.

>>8006793
sorry I didn't mean to imply it like that, it's just that for me aspergers is something I prefer to ignore and pretend I don't have it because I feel better that way.

>unless you base your happiness on trying to be the most like everyone else

basically that

>>8006776
I'm a sperg too, and what I've been confronted by the most is my total lack of understanding of people. That and in group therapy for depression, the psychologist mentioned his young son, also autistic, and how hard it is to confront the fact that he'll never love him back was kind of a slap in the face because I know it's kind of true with me.

I've noticed that I can be friends much better with other autists much easier than I can with other people because we might argue a lot, but we communicate in the same way. Find some local people with similar "fixations" and hang out with them, I unwittingly did as a kid and have been friends with some for over ten years. It just really sucks right now because I'm out of state and have no local friends right now.

>>8006803
I nearly killed myself trying to be normal and it just didn't work out. I'm doing much better after I got diagnosed and learned I need to work with what I have and focus and what I CAN do rather than what I can't. Like, I can't drive, but instead of hating myself for it I make it a long term goal and instead learned the bus routes so I'm not sitting at home all the time wishing I could drive.

>>8006737
Same. Mine is caused by my adrenaline misfiring, so I can't do jack shit about it besides cope.

>>8006830
The problem for me is that I haven't (yet) really accepted that I'm "special" and that I'll be like that forever. I hate how I feel like my identity became having aspergers rather then just being me.

Why can't spergs drive?

>>8006776
>>8006793
>>8006823
>>8006830

I know a person with burgers and he used to have friends, drive, and now even has a job. The only problem was that well he liked to sleep with girls already involved.

He seemed cool with me. We talked about stuff. Outside of talking a lot (LOL who doesn't?) there was nothing different from him than anyone else so don't feel like you're weird or whatever.

>>8006768

See >>7987512

There's a ton of people with acne and solutions to handle said acne. I have eczema and I discovered that you have to keep your hair oiled and use your cream. It's all over my face/forehead so I know how you feel.

>>8006793
Check your privilege. It's very easy to say to find your happiness by yourself, when you have friends. You can enjoy spending time by yourself, right? But it doesn't work like this. You still have friends and people to talk to. Social interaction is one of the most basic needs of humans, and it's completely needed to properly function. Even if you aren't social right there and then, you are still running on earlier social interaction. It's like food, you can enjoy your time without eating, but not eating at all doesn't work for long.

>>8006872

Were you like, sick or something the day in pre-school when they taught "how to read 101"?

I'd say "you tried" but honestly I don't think you did

>>8006846
It sucks, but it is what it is. The sooner you accept it the better off you are. Make things that don't seem achievable that you want a long term goal and focus on quality of life in the short term. Once you have a good quality of life, you can start working on other things.
>>8006858
There's a reason why it's called a spectrum, there are many different levels of functioning and some are better off than others.

I hate talking about my ex friend/bf because it sounds like a vendetta or a bitter bitch but I just remember my buddy that I lost contact with. I wonder what he's doing now.

you have to persevere for a while and put in quite a bit of effort, and if you want to lose weight you still have to diet, but i can work up a good sweat and burn ~150kcal with the cardio alone at a moderate intensity (mainly because if i work any harder i'm going to bounce off my bed and break my neck)

there are other ones on youtube if you search "seated workout". You can add small weights or wrist/ankle bands too.

I don't know, assburgers isn't full-on autism. First time I heard of it.

My brother has assburgers, he was diagnosed as a wee boy. It was a difficult case. He wouldn't talk until he was about 5 and even nowadays he stutters a lot and takes 10 minutes to squeeze out one sentence. He has really bad motor skills, is kind of childish and doesn't have a single friend. And he has weird habits and tics, like walking around the room making airplane noises in front of everyone.
Despite all that he is still able to drive and attend university and do all the normal stuff.

>>8006940
If he didn't talk until 5 he doesn't have aspergers. Learning to talk at normal times is literally the definition of aspergers compared to regular autism. It's THE characteristic that's used to differentiate between them.

Asians are feminine little pansies. Never again. He had atrocious table manners, too, and was chubby and out of shape. Whined that running was hard. Bitch, I run and yoga to fit into cute clothes, shut up with your complaining.

My friend is half white, half asian, and apparently he has a four and a half inch. Pathetic.

I think your brother is just autistic if he's doing the airplane noises. I know a kid who's similar.

Asians--where the men look like women and act like women but want to be treated like kings.

He walks around in boxers, too. One time he wore I swear to gosh these shimapan looking little panties, just walking around casually. It pains me to say that he had a nice butt. But he blatantly checks out my tits all the time. Sexist pig.

>>8006976

Feh, my housemate is apparently the son of some jade baron. Yet he still tries to jew me on his share of utilities. Bitch, no, pay your shit. I don't care how rich your folk in the orient are, over here you're just another dog in the pen.

>>8006920
Yeah it really differs person to person. I didn't really have any pain after the first day as long as I didn't do anything stupid or yawn. Sometimes they can hit nerves while they're doing doing he surgery which can result in damage, if they just tap them maybe it causes mad pain?

You missed a good chance to get on the gravy train. If you're >25 you'll still be around 40 or so when you have all the free time you want, as the kids have grown up and you'll have your own daughter-in-law. And with modern medicine and glorious Chinese cuisine you still have a 100 years to go, easy.

>>8006999
Is it bad to walk around in boxers? Probably going to be dorming next year; when I'm at home, I only wear my boxers or underwear and nothing else. The main reason for that is that I hate doing laundry often; so I'll only change my underwear every time I shower. Then comes time to wash my clothes and I'll be cleaning like 15 pairs of underwear and nothing else. I have like 30 pairs of underwear for this reason. Only gotta wear a shirt and pants when I go out.

It's an Asian thing, especially for single-child male households. I didn't start doing my own laundry, folding my own clothes, cooking my own food, washing the dishes, cleaning my room, ect until last year when I started lifting.

Pretty much when I started lifting, I basically had to get my own food, and that led to cooking and cleaning dishes, then that basically led to everything else and more independence.

My mom still guilt trips me daily for being somewhat independent because it makes her feel useless.

I love him as a person, but his domestic incapability is overwhelming sometimes. I let the apartment get messy now, even though it embarrasses me, because I'm tired of trying to keep up.
>tfw

>>8007029

Well, if you live with strangers then yeah. I never walk around in just panties. Although I do go braless with just a shirt. Just keep some clothes nearby to toss on.

I wear outfits a few times before I wash them. I just wear it, fold it up and put it away, and wear it again a few days later, so it doesn't look like I wear the same thing four days in a row. Unless it smells bad, in which case it goes to the basket. What's wrong with washing a bunch of underwear? Why do you not wash anything else, like your sheets or towels? Anon, dude, man, not cool.

Their culture is shitty and backwards. This is murrka, they need to into equality and stop raising spoiled manchildren.

>>8007029
Some people will be okay with it, others won't. Depends on who you room with. I'd prefer pajamas at least, if I had to room with someone I don't know.

So goddamn comfy.

As an Asian person, I can confirm that the sons in the family get favored. Traditional patriarchal values and all. My parents usually made me do household chores while my brother slacked off all day. It annoyed me at the time, but I'm grateful for now when I see how helpless and dependent he is on others.

>>8007047

He isn't respectful to you. Even a literal retard can wash a dish. He's purposely doing it poorly so he can get out of it. Not paying for half the groceries, never mind cleaning his share, is disrespectful.

I was in a six year relationship with a pig like that. I tell you: set him straight now, or you're gonna spend your life on your knees cleaning after him. My ex would toss food wrappers all over the floor for me to clean up, despite my setting up a trashbin for him and putting it next to his desk for him to use, and one day I woke up and dumped him and never looked back.

The guy I'm dating now has a fairly clean room, so I'm hopeful.

I mean, girl, he doesn't even have basic hygiene down. That's fucking nasty. There is something wrong with him. Imagine how well he must wash his cock. And he shoves that filthy thing in you, you're gonna get a UTI.

I mean, you're his maid, chauffeur, cook, handservant, and pay the bills. And he works at a fast food joint, "manager" or not, a teenager job. He sounds like a loser. You have to feel embarrassed in your own home because he trashes it up and doesn't respect you, your home, or your feelings about it.

Fix it now. Don't just think he'll get better--he won't. He'll get even worse. Talk to him about it.

>>8007064

I don't understand what is wrong with that. He thought he got cum near my cunt, so he had me take a morning after. I tried telling him it was fine and the condom got everything, but he wouldn't stop panicking. I said he was a whiny pussy.

What is wrong about this?

Oh, and that stupid pill fucked my period schedule up, too, that month. It was totally unnecessary but I took it just to shut him up. If I were more clever I'd have lied that I did and actually just hidden it away.

>>8007071
>I said he was a whiny pussy.

**I mean my last post said he was a pussy. I wouldn't tell a guy that to his face. How rude, even if it's true.

>>8007071
Because you said that there was already outside of me so no contamination so why would you take something that he paid for and you didn't really want to use in the first place?

If you got to do something to make someone shut up then you have issues. You should of lied, broke up with him, whatever.

Im posting this in here because it gives me the feels...of utter rage.

Tere is a girl from my area. She's claiming to be super into Lolita all of a sudden. She's bullshit and saying shes been in it for years..she cannot name a single brand or print, she thinks you can wear cupcake petties with everything. She had one lacemonster which she wore with converse and is saying she so "totally into lolita since like 5ever"

She must burn in the deepest pits of hell.

>>8007082
Im sorry for derp typing, my phone is an asshole to type with.

>>8007076

Because I'm a passive and agreeable sort. He was really worried about it despite my trying to explain it, and I took it to make him calm down. What could it hurt to be extra safe?

And I did break up with him.

I'll lie in the future. If I could do that over I would have lied. But, you know, fuck me. I don't see how it is so outrageous that you accuse me of trolling.

>>8007082
You have one of two roads you can take friend.

If she's a vapid cunt and pointing out how wrong she is causes her to rage or take it personally, forget about that bitch.
She isn't worth the time, let someone else sort out her issues she refuses to face.

If she realizes she's been making mistakes and has a negative reaction to herself, take that ita under your wing.
Guide her disgusting level of obsession into a positive outlet.

Either way though don't be her keeper.

>>8007082
>converse

Ita bitch. 4disgusting8me. I wouldn't even wear that kind of shoe with a casual dress, let alone anything frilly.

I mean, it's okay to be ita, people can wear what they like. But to brag about how into lolita she is when it's not true. Like if someone could only draw shitty animu girls, that's fine, they can draw what they want, but then they brag about how great an artist they are and say art4life and shit. That's what fourteen year olds do. How immature.

>>8007090
Because to me it sounded ridiculous anon. I couldn't believe how any one would take something just to make someone shut up. It's your body and you already mentioned how he didn't come inside of you because of said small dick.

I wouldn't even bother having sex with the guy because of his tiny dick so I guess you're a better woman in that regard.

>>8007076
Calm the hell down. It's much better to be safe rather than sorry.

>>8006992

It's god's punishment for not wanting chest hair.

>>8007099
She's 22 years old. That's the painful thing. She bought a black and white "maid" lolita dress from Milanoo and was calling it brand.
i nearly puked in my mouth when she said it.
