I'm also a whole head shorter than this guy and have noodly arms, and I would never dream of hurting him. I hate him for making that kind of assumption but I also miss him and want him to be my friend again. Now I'm stuck being depressed and marginally suicidal because I don't really have any other friends.

If you're in Texas I'll be your hang out buddy. Cosplay and all.

>>8260472

>read magi: the labyrinth of magic

>will never pass as male if i cosplay my husbandos
I think i can get away with it for those that have baggier clothes (koumei, jafar), but pic related makes me weep.
How do you guys feel about genderbends? Obviously not talking about slutty shit, but something very similar to his original design.

>>8260487
I dunno, the original character doesn't pass as male. Face is girly as fuck.

I lost weight recently, so I tried on some ouji pants I had bought awile ago that didnt sit right on me. I can wear one pair now but the other one was a aatp pair id really hoped would fit but is still cameltoeing pretty hard. Pretty damn bummed about it tbh, im pretty thin everywhere else except my ass/hips ofc

>wanting to get into aristo
>never done a fashion thing in my life
>overwhelmed with options
>not wanting to end up posted on here for looking like a trainwreck

>>8260504
How tall are you Anon? Could it possibly ill fitting due to your height rather than just your weight?

My aatp pants are snug on my noodle legs cause they sit above my knees rather than below them.

>>8260487
Oh man, I really wanna cosplay hakuryuu too. I think overall it's okay to look girly and cosplay dudes, (in fact I've only ever cosplayed as guys but am biologically female and don't look like a dude at all outside of cosplay) you just need to carry the character's expressions/personality across and remember to bind if you have any ladybits that are too big.

And then everything else with normal cosplay standards apply, like.. Making weapons/good costume and makeup. If you really wanna genderbend though just make sure your getup still has landmarks of the original design (e.g for hakuryuu you keep his scar and do his hair in a similar way, and maybe only alter his outfit a bit so you still read as him).

I've been having a group of con friends. I somehow got the attention of one of the hottest males in the group, might hook up with him at the next con we go to. There's no serious feelings tbh, we just think the other is attractive but I'm getting pretty giddy about this, nothing has been public though. Just sucks that his beta friend in the group has gotten a crush on me too recently. I flirted with him in the past but this year I've been distant. I'm just worried though if things come up to the surface, drama will ensue...

>>8260504
I'm a size 2-4 (US) in pants and some AatP pants are still tight on me. The best you can do when buying new pants from them is to compare the waist measurement to the measurement around your hip bones because that's probably where the pants will sit unless they're high-waisted pants. You might be able to have them let out half an inch if you take them to a tailor though.

Jesus fucking christ she's driving me insane. I also don't understand how his condoms keep coming off. I keep telling her to tell him to buy different fucking brands of condoms or to just stop having sex altogether but she doesn't listen.

>>8260668
If the condoms keep slipping off, maybe he's too small for them? She probably needs to buy ones labelled "slim" or whatever.

>>8260668
people like that exist?

they should not be having sex if they're the irresponsible

>>8260668
Dude slap her. I had a friend like that except she DID want the "baby" and even accepted she was "pregnant" and cried when she had her period. You need to knock some sense into her or drop her for a few days and let her realize she messed up.

Also what >>8260670 said.
OR it could be they're not "slipping off" but actually rolling down due to him not having them on properly. I suggest you tell her to take the BF to her next gyno appointment so the doctor can ask him about his application of the condom and figure out if it's his fault.

>>8260509
most people don't get posted, even failures. if you do get posted just don't freak out, and try to learn from your mistakes.

>>8260509
I think a big part of it is to try to make a coordinate that you're happy with and you really love. If it's like that it's probably not horrendously ita anyway, and you can feel "at least I'm wearing what I like" if people slag you off, rather than having people slag you off when you didn't even like your own outfit.

>>8260668
Yeah, having a kid sucks so basically joking around with it is begging for punishment to happen. Tell her to get the Depo, Impanon, or a IUD whatever the world doesn't need more parents who aren't prepared to have a kid.

Bipolar must really suck huh.
To be honest I'd be a bit nervous too...

>>8260708
What's your illness?

>>8260440
Valid concern. My grandpa is bipolar and I don't speak to him at all, even though people say he's calmed down. He has a right to pick his friends and surround himself with positive people instead of someone who will be crying about suicide every month. Same goes for you, you have a right to pick your friends too. You clearly weren't gonna work well together anyway, so I dont see the problem.

I don't want any crazies in my life and neither does he, the fact that you went all 'see what you've done? Now I'm suicidal and it's all your fault!' Speaks volumes about the kind of friend you'd be.

>>8260440
God damn I've had the same thing happen to me. They got pissed whenever I told them I'm "having an episode". They said that I could control it without medication and I shouldnt go manic and blame it on bipolar.
Just drop them out on your life, it was probably the best decision I've made. But if you value your friendship more than your mental health you could try to inform them about mental disorders. Good luck, anon.

>>8260708
sounds like i.c.
I feel that.

>>8260246
I like it but I'm not wearing it.

I once had a friend that I helped give clothing opinions with and chatted what we liked and disliked about certain articles of clothing, great fun.

I wouldn't mind more friends like that anon, but it may not be what you're looking for!

A lot of people online do that, it's very disheartening.

I'm like a small hulk :(

>>8260708
Seconding that sounding exactly like IC... I feel your pain anon, I've been in the same boat. Are there any ways you can get any kind of medication? IC medication actually gave me a life to live again.

>>8260670
>>8260692
I've told her to take him to her gyno or his doctor to double check but she refuses because she says "he knows his own dick". She basically is refusing any help or any of my suggestions and just wants to complain or something.

>>8260685
>>8260703
Yeah no I'm getting really close to just pretending I'm not near my phone to ignore her. It's just constant crazy fucking ramblings with no end in sight.

I'm literally on the phone with her right now and we're 35 minutes in.

>>8260806
I feel like I stop caring about people... I don't have any friends. It just so fucking lonely...

>be me and my body pillow waifu
>plays YouTube video of girl role playing gf
>pretend body pillow is real
>pretend my virgin kissless ass has a gf
>starts talking to body pillow
>mfw when I realise how lonely I am

The only reason I cosplay is, because I am proud of what I can create with my 2 hands. Attention is a plus I am starved for human interaction.

>>8260807
ya anon it sucks that ur so buff. i bet u have so much money to spend on ouji that you dont know what to buy and your boobs are too big for lolita too. it sucks ur so pretty i mean like guys hit on u all the time its so annoying

>>8260727
>They got pissed whenever I told them I'm "having an episode"
That's rather personal information, and if you take medicine it doesn't happen.
If you don't take medicine you should be instead of making others' lives miserable.

I have zero sympathy for people who overshare and think everyone HAS to coddle them because they have a mental disorder. If you act like a wanker, I'm going to treat you like one, disease or not. I say that as someone who had to deal with a bipolar person a lot, and people have every right to ignore you if they want to.

>>8260818
I am a dude, I don't have boobs. And the only reason I wanna wear ouji is, because it looks to cute and classy. You do know that guys can wear lolita too right?

>>8260818
Not that anon, but you're bitter and should shut up.

>>8260816
I've always found solace in being alone, but I grew up alone as well so I tend to greatly enjoy it. Regardless, I still understand how you feel.

I think Cosplay has the additional side effect of being able to meet really friendly people and have a good time with those people, online friends sometimes can't beat the usual face to face conversation!

>>8260832
I feel like the music video of mememe describes my otaku struggles.

>>8260818
See I am to rip for ouji.
>dat feel when seagull see me topless

>>8260842
You just look hammy to me.

>>8260842
see, I was on your side until you decided to post topless pics of yourself to /cgl/

Your boobs look like mine btw, which is kinda cute. I'm a female B-cup and they remind me of my own.

>>8260718
You sound like a really kind, accepting person. I'm sure you're a great friend and an absolute joy to be around (not).

It just hurts when somebody calls you their best friend for years and then drops you like a hot potato. I'm not blaming my suicidal thoughts on him, I'm just sad that it had to end this way, and so abruptly too. I'm sure if you were born with something that you couldn't control and people didn't want to be your friend and constantly called you hurtful things, you'd be upset too. But no, you have to act like an ignorant cunt and insult people for things they can't help when you obviously don't know shit about the illness. Good for you avoiding your grandfather, you have every right to not spend time with him, but you don't have to degrade him like that. If it weren't for him your bitchy, ungrateful ass wouldn't be here.

>>8260712
>Bipolar must really suck huh.
It really does.
>To be honest I'd be a bit nervous too...
That's your choice, I guess. Not all bipolar people are violent though. The most "violent" thing I've ever done is throw a pillow at my Dad (being serious there). My outbursts were mostly just getting frustrated over small things and arguing, but it hasn't happened to me in years. I'm pretty calm now, just kinda depressed.

>>8260727
At least somebody understands. It's a shame people have to make all these assumptions without knowing anything about the illness. I do have a few friends who accept me and haven't ditched me, because they know I'm harmless and a good friend, but they live so far away so I don't get to see them that often. Sucks.

>>8260842
Nice tits

>>8260821
I kind of feel the same way, although I'd never say it this way out loud.
>have roommate who has detailed her extensive mental problems to me, only after moving in
>screams in her room and throws things around when she doesn't think she's getting enough attention
>gets louder and louder until someone finally begs her to calm down
>mfw I have class tomorrow
>mfw other roomie comes from abusive home and screaming/banging paralyzes her in fear.

at a certain point I think it's unreasonable to ignore how your actions affect other people. These days there's a culture of "if you're not suffering as much as me you have no right to complain" that is fucking toxic. I still get shit for not being nice enough to her.

>>8260848
Oh thank you, maybe I can wear a bra. And wear sweet lolita put on some make up and look intensely kawaii.

>>8260718
Anon, that's not really what bipolar is like, and to be honest you sound like a really horrible person.

OP has every right to be upset - they made a great friend who got along with them really well, and then out of nowhere he decides that they're 'too crazy' for him and might suddenly snap and murder him, despite having little-to-no evidence that that will happen. Bipolar doesn't make people go crazy and start ranting about suicide, or trying to kill their friends, especially not 'every month' (bipolar cycles, if they're not managed which it sounds like OP's are occur every six months or so).

OP has clearly been managing their disorder very well, and the fact that this guy arbitrarily decided that they were dangerous and crazy must have really diminished all the effort they put into getting better. Their being upset now has nothing to do with their bipolar, but it has everything to do with that jerk's thoughtlessness and cruelty.

OP, if you're reading this, I hope you feel better soon. Please don't be discouraged by the way your former friend acted. I'm sure you'll make new, better friends soon.

>>8260842
all joking aside you might want to check with your doctor about the amount of fatty breast tissue you have to make sure there are no hormone issues.

>>8260851
I have a bipolar friend, she tends to come and go because of it and is really respectful of not hurting me even though I really wouldn't mind. She fears she will someday.

It seems like a difficult disease to deal with, keep your head up even though you lost your friend. I do not live in Maryland or I would offer to attend with you, I live in Ohio.

>>8260821
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt

>>8260856
It's kinda akward sometime when I wear really tight shirts. And those thirsty girls stare at my packs while I bounce them left and right. Thank you so much.

>tfw people admire my chest

>>8260821
Explaining that you have to cancel plans because of medical distress isn't 'oversharing'.

If you think of hanging out with a bipolar person as 'dealing with' them, then maybe you should just GTFO. They're probably sick of your whining anyway, considering that you apparently go on ignorant rants whenever someone so much as mentions the word 'bipolar'.

And don't get me wrong, you have every right to think that people are wankers regardless of whatever illnesses they have - but what you're doing is pretending that people are wankers BECAUSE of whatever illness they have.

>>8260857
Have you considered calling her family, or asking her to go to the doctor for a checkup?

If you're nervous (and it sounds like you maybe should be, if she's violent) then you could always frame it as being concerned for her health. Which you kind of are. You're just concerned for your health, and the health of your other flatmate, as well.

>>8260859
Your shoulders are probably still too broad, unfortunately.

>>8260860
>>8260872
>>8260877
I agree with this very much.

>>8260813
You're trying to calm her down, don't do that. Get mad at her and say, "fine, then have a baby." She needs a verbal slap badly and you're just being her welcoming outlet.

>>8260877
I don't really know her that well, I suppose I could ask her for her mother's number but I'm afraid to tell her I plan on calling someone else to deal with her just based on how she reacts when I don't chat with her in the kitchen. I have considered calling the hospital before but I was afraid they'd sent police or something instead and I'd hate to be the bitch who tried to get her sick roomie arrested.

At least I learned my lesson about letting someone from school vouch for their friend when I'm looking for someone to take rooms in a house.

>finally get paid
>go onto LM to buy dress I've been looking at
>LM is down
>I have to leave for work in 20 minutes
>terror.jpg

>>8260893
As a bipolar person myself, I can tell you now that you shouldn't be afraid to call the police if you feel like a person is a danger to themselves or others, or if they're completely out of control. The police aren't going to arrest her or put her in jail. If you explain to them that she's mentally unstable, they'll try and calm her down, and possibly take her to a psych hospital where she can get the help she needs. The police are very helpful when it comes to the mentally ill, believe me.

>>8260863
>>8260860
You guys are awesome, and really made me feel better. I appreciate it.

>>8260668
Tell her she is pregnant then hang up.

>>8260917
No problem, if you ever need someone to talk to people are here.

While I don't think anyone can replace your friend, you can always mend the wound by finding even better friends who understand who you are and won't shy away when you tell them.

I just can't imagine what it's like being bipolar, it has to be unbearable.

>>8260896
at least 9 out of 10 times I'm trying to check LM, it is being down

no wonder I still have 0 feedback yet with 5 successful transactions over the past 2 months. No one has the fucking time to check the site 10 times a day just for the tiny chance to find the site being stable at some point and finally being able to leave some feedback. I have always given feedback in the past, but I'm really losing the patience. There is a girl I want to leave positive feedback but she has also left me a message in my inbox and I want to check it first before leaving feedback, just in case... but nope, everytime I click on my messages the site goes down. It's been like this for 4 days now, I'm just one step away from giving up and switching to egl sales again.

>>8260893
Hmm... you could always be all like 'Oh, I've noticed you've seemed pretty down recently. Is everything alright?' and then when she starts getting into it suggest that she should talk to a doctor.

This is how I always sorted stuff with my roomie... although she wasn't ill, she was just on loads and loads of drugs. Also I'm in the UK, so depending on how expensive healthcare is where you are this may or may not work.

>>8261117
Um, I live in the US. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with cops in those situations.

I can't imagine they'd shoot her for any reason unless she was pointing a loaded gun at people. Cops can be hard on criminals but they deal with mentally ill people all the time and know how to handle them. You can't deal with the mentally ill in the same way that you'd deal with, say, a drug dealer.

What's it like?

im pmsing at the moment and i have family over. i ate some dinner here and there and then afterwards i went for a donut and my favorite aunt said "you really sure about that?".

i've been really fucked up about my body image and overall appearance the past few weeks (i had to withdraw photos from a group project because i thought i looked disgusting) and my aunt's comment is really eating at me. im not hideous but i don't know i just feel kinda shitty.

>>8261778
Your aunt sounds like a cunt.

I am sure you are fine, exercise and take it day by day until you feel confident in who you are anon.

>>8261778
Ugh, I HATE when people comment on my food. My mom will say things like "wow, you must have been hungry" when I eat a lot near her, and while I know she doesn't mean it negatively it makes me feel like shit.

Fuck. I knew I shouldn't have mentioned /cgl/, I probably scared her.

>>8260630
This is cute. I happy for you two!

>>8261825
If she's scared, it probably means she's posted nudes on /soc/.

>>8260440
I fucking hate people like that, they always judge without trying to understand. The worse thing is that only people that have the same/similar problems will understand.

>>8261778
>>8261790
Yeah I saw my dad for the fist time this year a while back.
>"You must have been hungry!"

Yeah because I have to pay per day to get to college, pay for college materials, rent, meds, and then maybe food or /cgl/ stuff. I have like 1 meal a day with a snack or something for breakfast.
The fat twat can piss right off with his $190k job.

There is a reason i don't see him

>>8261825
lol, I saw someone I know (a semi-e-famous ouji) come up on OKCupid's tinder-style app. I hit the yes but never got a match back. Ah well~

>>8261854
I used to have an eating disorder so I get really defensive whenever someone comments on my food. Luckily my dad doesn't give a shit since I'm thin and fit.

I don't see why people feel the need to comment on what other people eat. It's annoying as fuck.

>Like to party, go to raves and generally get turnt
>Most nerds don't

Damnit, is there no one who's a partying con dork who knows how to have a good time without getting obnoxious? I need some new friends.


>>8261909
That's the worst! I've never had to deal with an eating disorder and STILL hate people commenting on my food. I had a couple coworkers who used to comment all the time. "Frozen food again? Ramen noodles again? Do you know how many preservatrives are in that" Yeah and I'm a household of one and I work here all day, when do I have time to properly cook?

>>8261924
What's it like being fun?

>>8261933
uhm, it's fun being fun? Do you wanna learn the ways of the fun, anon?

>>8261953
Kinda but I live I live in the land of corn and farms, Ohio.

>>8261956
Oh. I actually used to live there! Now I'm in Cali though and it's a lot easier to have fun here. Lemme know if you ever do a con out this way

>>8261961
>Want to move to North Dakota

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

>>8261964
Shhhh, just come to Califronia, we're the Best Coast.

>>8261983
It would be more fun and it is the best coast after all, maybe someday we can have fun anon

from glorious Canadia, there is no excuse for not calling the ambulance except being a shrinking violet. I usually take the "convincing abused roomie she's not going to have the shit beat out of her" shift instead of dealing with the sick one. it's not as bad now that she's realized that but it's good to know I have options. It's really so scary, even the idea that she'll hurt herself and I won't be able to do anything is almost worse

>>8261984
Make sure not to settle down in the Northern Part. Altohugh it's a pretty heavily forested area, it's quite cold and all the pot growers live there. Personally I enjoy the Bay Area around San Francisco. The L.A. area is nice, but it's too expensive and too hot for me.

>>8261984
>>8261983
>>8261964
Next cali con I'll organize the fun fiesta

>>8261989
I like forests and want my neighbors to be as far away from me as possible, but don't want the pot growers.

>>8261991
I would very much like a /cgl/ fun fiesta

>>8261994
I actually met some gulls at the last con I was at, they were fun but their party game was off. What they were doing was mostly getting hosed in the hotel room.

What you gotta do is go by the "Get Drunk And" rule. Pick a shenanigans that would be fun sober, and get slightly sauced and go for it.

Sit and keep drinking at the hotel? Not that fun.

Drink a bit at the hotel, pour some extra in a water bottle, head over to the con and use the cosplay photosets to take tipsy pictures and crack up, while topping off your drank level (but not overdoing it and getting sloppy?) FUN.

>>8261998
That does sound like a lot of fun, and it's a shame they wanted to sit in the boring hotel room.

My camera is kind of fancy so I worry people would think I'm like a real photographer or something though, I guess tipsy pictures would make me laugh harder on a junk phone!

>>8260238
Haven't seen you in a feels thread in a while.

>>8261991
Because it's called a "fun fiesta", can I expect there to be Tequila?

>>8262030

I'm banned for TOR / Proxy on this terrible community broadband plan in my dorms (even though I've never used one) so everytime I need to post I have to get dressed, pack my laptop, and walk to University to connect to their wi-fi to make a single post.

It's freezing out here and I don't regret a thing. I hope you have a nice day and let that voice ring out!

>>8262042
if you're at uni... got parents at home? could setup a VPN at their place. I happen have a fancy-pants router with VPN server built right in. Once I turned that on, I can tunnel into it from elsewhere, and posts always "look like" they're coming from my house and not work/public wifi etc.

>>8262042
if you have a smartphone you may want to look at tethering the connection to your laptop

actually since you do all that instead of just posting from a smartphone you probably don't have a smartphone...

Ever since then, I've stored my sewing machine in the closet and let it collect dust. I really do want to learn how to sew again, but at the same time, I want to punch that bitch in her saggy face and throw my sewing machine at her.

>>8262245

Basically I'm terrified that even tho I hate my body now, that if my skin will just continue to get more horrible then it already is (I also have bad KP on my arms) I will hate myself even more in the end.

>>Like to party, go to raves and generally get turnt
>>Most nerds don't
This is pretty much me. I have a solid group of 6-7 friends, but 4 of the closest are nerds who never go out, one is a non-nerd who only likes indie rock, one is a nerd hipster who only likes indie and obscure stuff, and one tech nerd does like drum and bass and dubstep but went to a different college hundreds of miles away (and when he's home for the summer is kind of awkward to go out with because he's an ex). I really want to go out to dance clubs and raves but I'm always told that it's way too dangerous to go somewhere like that as a young female alone, even if you don't drink, so I don't go out for that reason.

>tfw just want to rave but nobody to go with

I go to dance music nights at a lesbian bar near me sometimes but it ain't great.

>>8262245
That fucking sucks. If you paid for the class you should complain.

>>8262322
I have the same problem, bunch of nerd friends who only listen to jpop shit, anime OSTs, songs from MLP and game soundtracks. Couple of friends that like other genres, but they either don't like going to gigs and clubs or only like indie rock. No idea how to make friends who like electronic and dance music, and will go out to venues where said music is played instead of just listening to it in their room. I have some normalfag acquaintances who like clubbing, but only mainstream clubbing for the purposes of getting drunk and having sex - they don't actually like the music.

Which country? Bosnia and shit have white Muslims, and your name might not be as clearly white as you think (Mariam and Sophia are both Muslim names for example).

>tfw too old for lolita

>>8262383
I'm 30 and I wear lolita. I feel sorry for you if you already look too haggard for it at 22...

>>8262373
My name's Erica... It's German, I think, with a knacker surname.
We don't even have that many Muslims, mostly Poles and the like.

>>8262410
What's a knacker surname, like Maughan or Ward or something?

>>8262424
Exactly

>>8262384

>>8262445

>>8262449
You said that, not me.
You do know that there are distinct surnames that are most common amongst Travellers, right?

>>8262384
Whoa, I have tons of respect for you and everyone else who continues to do what they like to do after 30+ years old, I mean I'm only 21 but I really look up to you all because it takes really courage to dress what you want no matter how old you are.

>can draw decently
>everyone says "draw furry shit it's making mad cash"

I should have known that I will never get popular enough to make good money. I don't even know how to get popular. Suckers don't even hop on 25$ commissions. Fuck it.
At least I learn a bit artwise and the furry fandom never fail to amaze me or shock me.

>>8260842
You have a belly and definitely fatty tissue all around. Lose some weight and you'll be fine.

>>8261119
both your samefag and the way you type make me want to slap you

>>8262462
I am honestly confused by people who consider 30 old. It's certainly not "teenage" but, for your own sanity, I highly recommend you get out of the habit of thinking of people in their 30s as old. Your thirties are like your twenties except you have more money and possibly a house.

>>8262473
No, honey. It's not old, but definitely not young either.

>>8262458
More common, sure but it's not like there are traveller exclusive surnames or even surnames which are traveller majority or anything like that. I'd never think a McCarthy or an O'Reilly was from a traveller background on name alone, do you think people think like that?

>>8262474
It's still pretty young IMO. I don't want to freak out when I turn 30...

>>8262462
This is like the kind of thing people say to people when they decided to adopt a retarded baby or something haha

>>8262475
Considering I was bullied since childhood for it, I'd say many most certainly do.

>>8262479
That's so sad, I never knew there were people like that :(

>>8262481
Oh boggers can be absolutely lovely, especially if you have money while they don't

>>8262477
it's not young in the real world and it's certainly too old for this board

>>8262488
There are a ton of older people on this board, anon. Someone in the AA thread was talking about the fact that they're a high school teacher.

>>8262477
Most are married and/or have kids by 30, you can't consider yourself young when either of those things happen and you're doomed to a lifetime of cats if you're still single and childless by 30.

>>8262490
cults have a ton of people in them too doesn't make it any less weird

>>8262501
TBH I think everyone who dresses up as cartoon characters without getting paid to do so past the age of 16 is kinda fuckin weird but here we are.

>>8262475
McCarthy and O'Reilly aren't traveller surnames, but I've never met a Maughan who wasn't a traveller, and only one Ward who wasn't. Driscoll's another common one, but then again it's also a common non-traveller name. So yeah, I'd say there are common traveller names, and most of them are Irish (not all), but that doesn't make all Irish names traveller names by a longshot. Polite sage because this is super off-topic.

>>8262514
I know a fuckton of Wards who aren't travellers (or even Irish), but I do live in England.

>capes cosplayer
>make a cosplay of fairly obscure version of a popular character
>someone else shows up to the same con in same obscure costume but objectively better than mine

>>8262514

Those are just Irish surnames.

Shock horror, Irish travellers tend to have Irish surnames.

Is there anyone else here who honestly prefers attending conventions by themselves? I like having my own schedule, not having to worry about anyone else, and I find myself talking to more new people if I'm alone.
I decided to take my boyfriend to his first convention over the weekend and it was a hassle. We've been living together for 7 months and we've never gotten into a tiff before, but I actually found myself being legit angry and annoyed at him at this con.
>have to wake up early to drive two and a half hours to con on opening day
>we didn't travel the night before because my bf had closing shift until 1am
>picked him up at 2am, up at 6am

>calmly inform him that this is why it's important to take off for a travel day
>but whatever I'm the one with the costume and has to drive the car
>on the road by 7am

>had to stop to buy them
>drive through two cities full of retarded drivers and stressful situations
>finally get to the con
>it's 9am and all the good parking is taken
>people are being fucking cunts in the lots and I had to weave out of two of them before finding an empty one far away from the con center
>my frustration finally boils over
>"See bf? This is why we get to cons early!"
>bf takes it as a personal attack
>becomes visibly pissy
>trying to locate badge pickup which had been moved and was difficult to find
>bf is completely useless and has a sour puss on his face
>"So bf are you going to continue trying to make me feel guilty for being frustrated, or are you going to have a good time and try to help me find the badge pickup?"
>"Weh you yelled at me."
>okay.jpg just help find badge pickup
>we find it, I'm embarrassed because I looked so awful in my normie clothes that my friends didn't recognize me
>part of me didn't want them to
(con't)

>>8262736

I like being at cons with friends, but I definitely prefer travelling by myself. I'm really anal about punctuality and my friends aren't. So I always end up stressed to fuck travelling with them.

So I can do my thing of packing the night before, and running 20 minutes early for everything, and I can just meet up with them when they arrive.

>>8262736
you sound like a right cunt and I feel sorry for your boyfriend.

>>8262736
>need to find an abandoned bathroom to put on costume

He hasn't even woken up yet. I'm still pretty miffed. I would have had a better time at the convention had I just gone alone.
>tfw

>>8262736
>>8262771

Okay this sounds a lot less like you like doing cons alone and more like you don't like doing cons with him

To which I ask

Why spend those con days with him? If you say you like him normally but you're not on the same con plan, just bounce. You're a couple, not Siamese twins. If my girlfriend ( ;-; ) wants to haul ass over to the con and sleep in, I'd be like "okay cool, go! I'll catch up with you later" or vice versa.

The last con I was with a group of friends who I liked a lot... but nobody took it butthurt if nobody stuck around. I was late getting up because of a hangover, everyone left me and went to the con and I caught up with them, nbd. Or some people were in line for a panel and I decided I'd rather roam the dealer's hall, bounced, just texted them later and caught up.

>>8262793
In fairness anon, you probably missed the part where I said this was his first convention so therefore I couldn't really know in advance how he'd react or what he'd behave like. In the future, I likely won't take him with me at all.

>>8262736
Ehh, even if it was frustrating you should have made more of an effort to stay calm, and instead just mentally noted down for later "never take this guy to a comm again". Having someone act pissy and frustrated only makes stressful situations like being late worse, especially when I know from the last feels thread that you never told him to book the Friday off, you just told him to book the weekend off and assumed he'd know to book Friday too.

>>8262800
Welp, hindsight is hindsight. He won't be going with me again. He even admitted that he knew I was frustrated and shouldn't have overreacted the way he did, but then he ruined that by not stepping up when I needed him to.

>>8262736
Yeah, being on vacay with anyone can become a nightmare real quick. Especially if it's a vacay you've planned well and looked forward to. I'm glad my friends understand how independent I am at cons, and don't mind when I suddenly bounce.

>>8262771

to make it cgl related, whether I go then or later, it'd be too damn hot to wear lolita to the Baby store/Tokyo Rebel, and nothing looks interesting in their store. I want to support them, but their designs are becoming lackluster, imho, and I tend to buy from J-auctions anyway.

If I do get the internship, it's possible that I'd be there through the Spring as well, I'd be a little sad to leave the community I made, and knowing how bad the quality of the comms are, I don't know if I want to go back to being a lone lolita. I know there are seagull nyc area lolitas, but I hope it wouldn't be too hard to get in contact with one or two and to be friends.

Last thing though: I know it's hella expensive to live in a large city like this. The positions receive about $250 a week (granted I could work weekends for extra) and I plan on living with my brother (maybe splitting the rent and/or utilities) ; how feasible is it to survive on that much in NYC (and continually pay off my student loans)? Would the internship be worth it?

I have that problem. I really only see my friends once a week and make sure we go somewhere like restaurants and whatnot. They can still be pretty boring to me, but at least I eat well on those days, helps even it out in an odd way.

Holy shit though, girl needs a reality check. If she's going to freak the fuck out after every time they have sex, she needs to get a fucking shot or implant so they can be responsible (she sounds like the type to forget the pill, so I would not recommend that).

I laughed way too hard at this

>>8263472

Only if you ejaculated before, and haven't properly gotten rid of it (e.g. peeing) beforehand.

It's statistically almost as effective as condoms, and I also don't go whining to my friends every time my period is six hours late either.

Once I get medical insurance, I'm planning to get more effective BC anyways.

I just bought a binder that I was the max size for before my boobs decided to grow a full cup size up. Please kill me.

Here's a story from a con a few years back, A FULL BUFFET OF FEELS

>>Good feels. Went to a con in a shitty fairytail cosplay, people actually want pictures. I spend all of Friday hanging out and meeting up some cool people.

>>Best Feels: A cute Madoka Cosplayer hits me up. This never happens, I'm short and dorky. She says my cosplay is cute (don't believe her) and she says that I'm hot (in a weird question sort of way, Why are all ____ so hot) We spend all of Sat night together talking and drinking. (Fuck yes!)

>>Weird Feels: She's black and I guess I've never really been with a black girl before. She's super nice and cool, but there's these weird manner things that pop up. Like talking with her mouth full and asking for to-go boxes for other people's food and generally being really loud. Still think she's adorable otherwise.

>>REALLY WEIRD FEELS. She asks what type of Asian I am, I tell her and she tells me about all the college courses she took about said Asian history.

>>Bad feels: It gets late and I tell her that she can crash here if she wants to. There's a couch in the room so it's not a big deal. She says she wouldn't mind sharing a bed with me. Awesome. She takes off her wig and she has really short hair that's kind of dreaded. Her face is really pretty but I'm not use to this type of hairstyle so I don't really find it attractive (shitty I know). I hop in bed with her and she fucking squeezes the shit out of me and we fool around a bit. I don't have condoms (lol, who has sex at a con?) so I just pretend to pass out (ughh) She feels great but eventually she quits after she can't wake me up, and she just kind of uses as a pillow.

>>I spend the entire night with her snoring in my ear and thinking how crappy I am lol.

>>The worse feels: I woke this morning, thinking about how I blew a chance with a really cool girl 'cause I like long wildly colored hair... shitty. Fucking 2D man.

>>8263540
Worse than condoms actually. Failure rate of condoms is 15-18%, pullout can be as high as 27% failure. That is not almost in any sense of it. Always look at the imperfect rates instead of theoretical because you arent going to do any method perfectly. That stat is for lab settings.

>>8262493
Good. I hate children and I love cats.

>>8263584

You have a point. I'm not going to defend my shitty life decisions, anyways, and will assume full responsibility when I find I have a fetus. But thanks anyways.

>>8263583
>mfw a black girl back in schooling sent me a very long and detailed message about how I'm cute, telling me about herself, and desire to hang out with me
>mfw my father ingrained it in my head at a very young age that "If you ever have a nigger girlfriend I'll disown you"
>mfw I declined her offer stating "I am too busy for a relationship"
>mfw her spic friend and herself called me a racist because I said no and I was deemed a racist by her and that group like a week into classes.

I hate the minorities and their race bullshit. I think you dodged a bullet.

>>8263601
But weren't they at least partially right? Granted, your father was the racist one, but having that shit ingrained into your head isn't going to lead to a healthy relationship.

>>8263611
Even if the anon left out that information, some people actually does that. They can't handle rejection so they use the racist card to get the last word

>>8263611
I don't think they're partially right as much as they're instantly jumping to a conclusion, I definitely wasn't attracted to her and wanted to be nice. But I don't believe I think less of someone for their skin color, all races have attractive and unattractive people. She was just a creepy weeb and it would never work out regardless, you're right in that it wouldn't be healthy.

I just found it amazing that I was deemed a racist despite politely declining. I think whatever I said that was going to be the result.

There was another girl who wanted to take pictures with me, wrote poems about me and would write me notes, she was leaving for another school and on the last day she wanted a picture of me and her together. Thankfully it was the last class of the day, I ran out of there so hard after I said I'd be right back.

I am not good with the female gender, I was destined for doom.

>>8263611

Yes, but it's not like that was the reason he told her for rejection. They assumed that his rejection meant that he was racist, which is a pretty far leap to make.

>>8263611
The point still stands, they didn't know that. I hate it when people act like it's your fault for not being attracted to them, fat chicks are notorious for this as well as minorities.
>inb4 bitter
I'm a girl, and I have fat friends so I get to listen to it all the time. I'm not much of a looker myself but at least I'm not butthurt when people reject me.

>chubby friend and her sister-in-obesity circle around some guy sister-in-obesity likes
>friend approaches him, says SIO likes him, and so on
>he politely declines
>friend suddenly goes into turbo SJW mode, starts calling him names and ranting about muh fat rights, SIO comes over and slaps him
I like the girl but jesus christ sometimes she can be a pain

>>8263601
I dont know why, but this made me laugh

>>8263625
>I just found it amazing that I was deemed a racist despite politely declining.

True, that's definitely an overreaction on their part, and I'm really curious how they could possibly jump to assuming you're racist if you politely said that you're not interested.

>mfw black
>why is it so hard to understand that people aren't obligated to find you attractive

>>8263634
>sister-in-obesity
>all of my keks

I still don't understand how they don't realize that they're giving them more reasons to reject her by acting this way

>>8263644
In retrospect, when I call her friend a spic casually to keep the tone of the post similar throughout, there's probably some racism in me. She was definitely a bitch though! Like a yappy little chihuahua dog.

I think I basically said to her "I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but I've got a lot going on in my life right now and I don't have time for a relationship with anybody. My grandmother just passed (the only true part) I hope you're not too hurt etc etc"

>>8263639
I laugh at it too, I don't know what made them think I was even looking for a relationship. I sat there silently every class and went home to play games and talk to friends.

>>8263639
What is his name again?

>>8263601
Are you suuuure you declined politely?

Are you positive you were fucking polite? And not trying to get high-five from your friends by talking shit about her?

>>8263713
I'm pretty sure I declined as politely as I could. I'm not a saint but when it comes to someone's feelings I definitely don't want to ruin them. They went out of their way to express their feelings, of course I wouldn't crush them.

Plus, I didn't have friends to high-five to begin with! Nor could I talk shit.

It's still better than getting a full load stuffed up in your business.

Experience is only as creditable as how it's interpreted.

>>8263644
I've declined black people in the past due to already being in a relationship, and I have had a couple pull the race card on me. It's pretty ridiculous to me, considering while I've never dated a black person I am actually attracted to black men, and especially black women (bisexual/pansexual/whatever with a preference for women, I think black women have really beautiful skin especially if they're really dark). It's a really hard situation to react to, and why the fuck would you bring it up? Subtly calling me racist makes it less likely I will ever change my mind about you.

>>8263251
>>8263269

I-I just don't know what to believe.

There's a guy I've been really interested in for a few years now and I know he's also interested in me. However because we only see each other at cons we decided it's obvious that a LDR wouldn't work out and so we've never dated. Nevertheless there's always awkward tension when we see each other at cons because it's pretty clear we both want to be together but can't.
I dress in lolita and he's a cosplayer, so we have different friend groups, and a lot of my friends think I could find someone better and more "refined" (they kind of dislike cosplayers for being obnoxious or chlidish, I'm not entirely sure). Part of me wants to agree with them but part of me is stuck thinking that there's a chance we could work out.
I should just date girls more often. The cute ones are more widely available in the community and we could twin at meets and cons.
>except since i'm biscum girls think i'm only "experimenting" and are reluctant to date

>>8263271
>NYC
>250/wk
Maybe with 4 roommates you may find something affordable in a shady part of town. With just you and your brother you are looking at having 750 a month BEFORE taxes and 2 bedrooms are going to run you about 2500+ if you want to live in/around nyc.
You could look at something in say, New Jersey or Connecticut, that is a 20-60 min commute via metro and find something within that price range, but then it would be around 100 a month for the metro, leaving you 650 BEFORE TAX to find a place and well, good luck.

Just, look on craigslist at some prices and educate yourself.

I can't stand people, especially liberal hippies and SJWs, goading others to do things just to further their agenda from the comfort of their own home.
>belong to a specific group that isn't the most well-liked in the world
>want to legally change something about myself to make it less obvious, and my country's laws allow me that
>boyfriend's hippie parents who do nothing all day but get into Internet slap fights start giving me shit for wanting to change it
>"Noooooooo anon, you should be PROUD! Be PROUD anon, I'm always so happy to tell everyone I know what you are!"
>they keep insisting that the reason I want to change this is because I'm secretly ashamed of it
>tell them people from my group get harassed a LOT and that I have no intention of becoming a martyr or a whiny activist and rubbing it in people's faces
>just wanna be left alone and accepted, that's all
>"Oh but anon I understand, but you have to just be PROUD!"

Being proud doesn't exactly prevent you from getting harassed or having your job opportunities halved, now fucking does it?
I'm sick of people in cushy privileged positions preaching and telling others what to do in order to fulfil their agenda without actually having done it themselves.
I mean even my super conservative mom understands and wants me to change (that thing that would help me blend in) because she's in the same group herself and has experienced all kinds of slander.

SJWs are cancer, they all urge you to fight their battles without asking you if you even have the privilege to refuse at all, or if you even want to for that matter

There are people out there to help you out and who understand. If you want to talk, or anyone else, just shoot me an email. (:

nice gyno fag

Dat feel when you can't get out of a binge/purge cycle about a month before con. I'm trying really hard, but I keep getting sick, inadvertently vomiting, then saying "Fuck it!" and b/ping. Which is not helping the whole sick situation. I just don't want to be bloated for the con, hopefully visiting my family will help kick it.
(Luckily I haven't been gaining weight, but I've been bloated as all hell. My face looks so fat, too. Not to mention being dizzy all the time and constantly knocking into things.)
