All I really wanted was people complimenting my getup or maybe striking up a conversation with me but no, I can't even get that.

Hey guys, you probably don’t remember me since I haven’t posted in a long time, but it’s ED anon from awhile back, I figured I’d post an update if anyone cares to read. Within the last two months I’ve lost over 20 pounds, putting me in the underweight category. I still feel really fat especially since my waist is 26 inches (still too big for some old school), it’s not really just feeling fat though, a lot of it is lack of control and low self esteem in general. I’ve been going to therapy once a week and it helps a little but not much. Generally I’m eating around 500 calories a day and it’s killing me, I’m so tired and weak, but if I eat more I just feel terrible. I just want to be cute like all the other Lolitas. I think once I get down to my goal weight I’ll be happy but I know I’m just lying to myself, and at a BMI of 16 I’d be even less healthy than I am now. I’m just so done with feeling like this, I can already see my bones why can’t that be enough. I wish I could stop and just be happy, but I’m only happy when I’m starving.

Please explain this to me, anon, what were the social repercussions of taking an uber in your city when it was "frowned upon"? What would people tell you if they "caught" you doing it?
Maybe the fact I don't really give a shit what people think about me stops me from understanding this, but it sounds a bit absurd, having to hide the fact you do shit for your convenience that isn't harmful to anyone.

Idc about social stuff, it was about getting into trouble and maybe legally.

One issue was because Uber was not technically allowed (then), the driver could get fined for the service if caught. I have had Uber’s decline my trips because they didn’t want to deal with it or would only take me to the border of my city. In some areas taxi drivers would get really angry because they felt jilted and would protest and block traffic. Luckily it didn’t get violent here but there were issues with big places like airports.

Not related but one time a guy was doing Uber with a truck which was pretty fun. Most of these experiences were nice and ih the beginning of Uber expansion there was a lot of interesting people who were nice and chatty.

This is why I always take ubers. Maybe it's because I'm in a country where there isn't a stigma around uber (aside from taxi drivers getting a bit pissy about them and vice versa) but I think it's a lot safer. If cab companies came out with a way of tracking driver identities that was like uber, I wouldn't mind using it. But I can't risk my safety for now.

I hope you find the mental energy to deal with it, think about it like you could save future you from the same thing again if you travel in a taxi.

Whenever I hear a story about someone getting molested in Lolita clothing I wonder why someone would find a (not trying to be rude)girl in such kiddy looking clothing sexually attractive. I mean, most Lolita outfits (depending on the style) do look like something a kid would wear.
It makes me wonder if those guys are total pedobears that either think the girl is younger than she really is or think "meh close enough"

Sometimes people think it's fetish clothes so they feel comfortable shaming us, or sexualizing us for it. Girls used to share stories on EGL that people would ask if they were dressed like "Victorian child prostitutes" which is a bizarre conclusion to jump to when seeing a woman wearing a frilly dress.
It says nothing about us and everything about these people: If someone's immediate reaction to your silly, frilly clothing is to ask personal questions about your sex life, that's entirely on them being degenerates.

I suppose this is one of the reasons girls prefer wearing the fashion to meets, because they feel safer in a group; having said that, I wear lolita daily and never had any issues, though of course experiences differ between individuals.
You won't be in any real danger wearing sweet lolita, unless the area where you live is shady and standing out there could put you at risk. If you don't have any lolita clothes yet, I suggest you join your local comm once you do acquire some frills and then go out to a meetup with them, you'll see there's nothing to fear.

There's a difference between gender and gender expression or expectations. The former is what the individual relates to, which everyone do; the latter depends on personal choice, and again personal choice on whether to conform to societal pressures.
This is how a man can wear lolita and still identify as a man, and not immediately want to be a woman for wanting to wear a dress.

I'd say, guys find it sexy, when a girl has fancy features. This made Suicide Girls a thing. Unnatural hair color, tattoos, piercings, same goes for weird clothing. Once I asked an ex-friend of mine for male's advice, if the typical guy finds lolita appealing. He said that honestly it's really attractive as one-time escapade, but dating such girl on regular basic is weird af. So, yeah, my five cents go for fetish things.

Ordered some bag from a girl, for my friends birthday that’s already passed. and she’s taking fucking forever to send it out. It’s been two months, And her excuses are so lame.
Like how her post office has been closed for a week, and how she didn’t have enough money to send it when I paid for shipping.

It confused me at first because this is my first AP dress, and for a while I thought maybe full back shirring (I only have dresses with a little shirring, nothing fully shirred or even full back shirred other than this one ap dress) was what made the dress look frumpy, but maybe it's also the shortness (I'm tall and the straps don't adjust... thanks AP.) it's annoying, I was so happy to get it as it's cute and my first ap, but yeah.. it's shit.

Anon isn't wrong though; it's not that op is unworthy of love because they're depressed, but loving yourself is extremely important and you won't feel loved by others if you don't love yourself. Even when people do genuinely love and care about you, you'll think they're lying or that you're unworthy of their love.
Loving yourself isn't easy especially if you're not used to it, I struggle with it too as do many people; but it's important, and while mental illness does make it difficult, it's not impossible.

Also, >>9875699
It's true that people have different circumstances and varying types and degrees of mental illnesses and not everything suits everyone, but that's not a good reason to not seek treatment.

I would have agreed with you a couple decades back, but this just doesn't wash anymore.
there are a variety of alternatives to treatment-resistant depression.
In virtually all of the cases they're resistant to only a specific class of antidepressants, in which case there's plenty of others to choose from.
For the few fringe cases that aren't so simple, there's likely some other disease/affliction going on, which should be addressed. There's also a number of non-antidepressant treatments, which aren't therapy or exercise memes, if they don't care for side effects.

Yeah the situation is getting better, there are options other than medication but they're pricy so I get what the anon above was saying.

My feel ..
Lolita is full of horribly unfashionable/cheap people

I have a really modest closet, but I seriously live for all the eccentric stuff comes out of Japan into the world at large
It's like if it's not in a certain bubble, lolitas just don't care.
That's where I think the 'conlita's' actually start holding sway, there's literally nothing separating a conlita from others in terms of what is or isn't acceptable.
You don't need to 'talk the talk' outside of minding your 'lolita rules' p's and q's, you don't have to have any greater interest in fashion (at all)

I'm not even super well versed in it, I just hunt down looks from certain designers and try to find new ones. It's not like it's hard, and there really is good stuff out there to see.

I feel like, at least before when there were primarily lifestylers and a subculture it was different, there was more to lolita. We can't even develop a new subculture, or even latch onto an existing related one, just blah.

Nowadays, you can't even expect a certain level of coinciding interests with others, just..

Why? If I don't complain here I will complain anywhere else. This is the only place where I can complain about things where people will understand. Kind of hard to do so on ap lace where no one knows what cosplaying is other than 'dress up'.

Also, do not take me as an example of 'stormtrooper'. I'm just a fucking loser who HAPPENS to cosplay. In no way i'm an example of the community nor should you think less of stormtroopers because of me.

You kinda did, actually. You've asked anons who were kind enough to offer you some advice for their social media info so you could interact with them off anon and get more advice. While that in itself isn't a terrible thing to do, you're better off getting help from someone who's actually a trained professional, i.e. a therapist or even a good life coach.

Before you misinterpret this: No, I don't hate you, and it's okay to pop in the feel threads every once in a while to vent and get some minor advice, but you're making a name for yourself around here and this isn't a good thing, even less so if you want to make friends. Please think better of yourself and actually work on improving yourself.

Honestly? Lay low for a while. Lurk but don't post, and if you have to post, participate in discussions genuinely, respond to other anons instead of talking about yourself, and try not to be dramatic. You're not "doomed", it's just 4chan and anons can have a very short memory if you don't force yourself into recognition; you know what I mean? The less you pop up and act like you usually do, in a way that gulls can recognize you, the quicker you'll be forgotten so you can continue posting actually anonymously.
Notice that your "name" here may be Anonymous but you're still recognized; like I said before, that's not a good thing.

Don't worry about my life, anon. My problems are mine to solve and no one else's words will help it if I coose not to - and i'm stuck on a paradox where I want help but being romantically miserable 'gets me off' too.

Sounds like you've /r9k/'d your way into the 'I'm not confident enough that I'm a catch to be ready to date a girl' zone and you're trying waaay too hard now.
At most cons I've been too, the only lone men that try to interact with me are trying to fuck me.
And since it's a con, you have to think 'well, this person is probably not from here' or that that girl you're talking to isn't and no way is someone going to go through that for someone they only met once and have had no interactions with prior. It's obvious then that you're looking to hit it quit it, and unless you are a fun person to be around, that's not going to happen willy nilly.

Think things through, learn how to talk to women and go on dates outside of the con scene if you're having so much trouble
Go to cons in cosplay with friends
Wild idea, toss yourself into a group of strangers. be fun and approachable with something to offer for temporary companionship

Tell your girlfriend you'd never hang out without her around, and explain you can't be mean to your co-worker. Don't avoid co-worker girl, but don't go apologize or something.

I love Mana too but he's not the founder of our fashion. The fashion was founded by young girls trying to break from stifling social norms, while Mana popularized the term and look of Gothic Lolita, iirc while describing his own aesthetic; I'm not 100% sure of this but it's possible he's responsible for the fact the name lolita stuck with our fashion.

I've done this three times now. If it's not perfect I'm not going to the con. I want to shoot myself, it's so infuriating. At least I'm getting better each time.

I understand you but try to focus on making something you, personally, will be proud of. You won't make anything perfect when you're new, and being posted in the bad cosplay thread is not a death sentence by any means.
Just aim to do your best and focus on having fun at the con, and know that the next cosplay you make will be even better.

I'm terrified of getting into that mindseat of "Oh that looks good." Then getting to con and feeling like I've brought a 6 yesr olds papermache project. I don't want to be humiliated by people avoiding me because I look stupid with my shitty prop.

Admittedly I don't attend cons regularly but having been to several over the years, people are more likely to avoid others for looking/behaving like creeps, than for looking stupid. Case in point: Itas in their fire hazardous lace monsters almost always have people gushing over them and their "kawaii lolita cosplay".
Make your cosplay because you want to honor your character, and go to the con to have fun. As long as you're not entering a contest, no one is going to judge you harshly. Remember that it's a lot easier for people to be shits on here, when they're anonymous, and it doesn't necessarily reflect reality.

Comm mother is the older girl (usually mid-30s) who plans all the activity and makes sure everyone is safe. It may be a regional thing.

That is a cute Mercy.

I think you can learn something from this though, in your planning stages it's that 'stepping away' point where you come back and rethink things. If you're that critical of your own work, then use it to your advantage. I have to do this with my art. Before I get to the inking stage, I set down the drawing and wait a while so when I come back to it, I have a fresh look and can change anything I don't like.

But cosplay is a growing process, and with every thing you make, you will learn from your mistakes and make something better the next time. If you just quit, you never will.

I dunno about comm, but I am always designated con mom. My friends keep coming to me for advice/rules/what plans are and it just happens since I tend to have that kind of personality anyway.

People don't ask to get touched in transport. You should jump into a meat grinder.
>>9875407
See if you can't find a friend at the con. If nothing else try to make friends with con security, so they can recognize you and help if you need it.

I want to join a comm but i'm unsure if my taste in fashion will land me on the ita thread if i post pictures to try and fish for friends.

I feel like "confidence" has undergone such a definition change. Confidence now means charm not actually be comfortable in what you are.

;; its not like it would have been a meaningful conversation if the person insults someone in first message but its one of those
"I CAN EXPLAIN"

I consider anything that only has (1) or less people cosplaying a certain character to be obscure. I wasn't calling the series obscure but the character... since 90% of people only cosplay 8 of the characters.. so literally every other character in the series is rare to see cosplayed.


I just can't let it go I guess.
