Ive been feeling less and less inclined to be part if a comm. i dont really talk to any of the members and meets feel awkward being surrounded by strangers and only being able to contribute small talk. I really love wearing the fashion regularly but it feels like an obligation to be part of a group and go to meets and cons. I made a few friends in the beginning but several have since left the fashion.

Does anyone else feel this way? Like being in a comm is an obligation yet you mever really want to hang with these people?

I'm 31 and feel too old to be cosplaying which sucks because I only got into it a few years ago. Feels like 90% of the con goers are teens or under 24, so I end up feeling like the only "adult" there. I see a few adults my own age or older but they seem really spergy or autistic.

>> No.9915623

>>9915606
May I ask what makes you feel it's an obligation?
I'm in a comm, I don't go to meets often because life doesn't always allow me the free time needed for that so I mostly see my closer friends when possible and that's it, I wear the fashion on my own otherwise; and I don't feel guilty about it at all. It's a fashion first and foremost, you can socialize through it but you don't have to. So what makes you feel that you have to interact with and be a part of your local comm?

>> No.9915625

>>9915607
Go to a con and socialize, boom. I've gotten invited to cosplay groups by random people I meet there, and then you just gotta chat more and make friends.

Another way is facebook groups. Find local facebook groups of people who like to cosplay or check the posts on an event page to see if anyone's looking to meet people.

>>9915606
Yeah. I don't really get the whole deal. I'm enjoy the fashion enough wearing it by myself and going out with friends who aren't into Jfash. I mean, I also understand if you like hanging with your comm or whatever, but I feel like people who need a comm to enjoy lolita don't "truly" love it.

>> No.9915630

>>9915623
It sounds silly but its one of those ‘everyone does it why arent you’ kind of things. Lolita makes it sound like you have to have a comm, or you have to go to meets, and i just dont really want either of those. Sure id love more lolita friends but its not really vital to me.

>>9915625
I actually really like this idea of not truly liking it if you have to be in a comm. i already dont understand reservingthis fashion to meets and cons only and i feel thats what i see the most.

>everyone does it why arent you
You can say the same thing about wearing alt fashion, to be honest.
>everyone wears jeans and t-shirts, why aren't you?
Do what makes you happy, anon. Fuck what everyone else is doing, it doesn't matter, you do you. Same goes for people who only wear it to meets and cons; it doesn't matter that you see it often, it doesn't affect you personally and doesn't mean you have to do what everyone else is doing. I mean this in the most encouraging way btw. If you're happy wearing lolita in your own free time and being a lonelita then that's perfectly okay, and unless someone from your local comm actively pushes you to come to meets and socialize with them, there's no real pressure to do what doesn't appeal to you.

Now I just want to get a cool dummy commissioned and try my hand at some comedic skits. I'm thinking of a cat dummy with a top hat and a monocle. It'd be extra fun to get to wear lolita while performing, I feel like there's a way I could tie it into the performance.

I feel so utterly jealous when people have siblings to share their hobbies, particularly cosplay, with them. I have never got along with my sister and she has always just looked down on me and my hobbies. I know these sisters in my comm who are best friends and they cosplay together. I never had a best friend even as a child.

>> No.9915663

>>9915661
I know that feel, except I don't have siblings, but my mom never understood my hobbies, and my "friends" discovered a new obsession every three weeks, and I kinda stopped trying to catch up with them. the only "best" friend I had was a girl I was kinda forced to be best friends with because our parents were friends too.

>> No.9915670

Instead of getting friends that like all the same hobbies, make a good friend or two in each hobby. Much easier.

I have friends I talk with about fashion. Other friends with which I talk about music and go to concerts with. Again other friends I talk about history with.

The more closer I get to people, the more I also talk about other stuff. Goes automatic. But generally, I just make friends based on one thing and rest goes automatic or it stays an acquaintance like friendship.

I have a hard time appreciating ouji because I see so many failed attempts at places like CoF. I'm a knicker and history loving HEMA fighter (relevant because it makes ME wear knickers all the time, so comfy), but they just look bad so often. It's a shame as I've seen some really great outfits that makes me know it's not the style in itself. But why do so many look so bad?

Thanks gulls. Unfortunately, my dad noticed me doing it, and began mocking me by copying whatever I said while practicing. When I told him to please stop, he acted like I was the bad guy, and said he wanted to try ventriloquy too. My mom swooped in and defended him and told me I should teach him how to get better. He has no interest in ventriloquy, he just doesn't want me to feel comfortable doing anything ever, he's a terrible narc who feeds off my misery and actively tries to deter me from doing anything I enjoy.

iktf. In mirrors I mostly look fine, but photos are just awful. I look so man faced because of my stupid jaw that needs fixing again; in spite of my never ending love of the fashion and for being around for so long, I still feel like I'm not kawaii enough for it. I also look high in photos. My eyes aren't droopy, but the facial misalignment makes it look like that in photos. Years of going to the orthodontist apparently did jack shit besides removing my teeth and emptying my mom's bank account.

I'm sure that the problems run deep, but have you messed around with light contouring?

For those of you who managed to stop spending compulsively, what worked for you? I haven't been able to talk to any of my friends about it because it's such a first world problem, and I'm scared it comes across as bragging.

It's not much but this is what helped me:
*Make a specific list of what you want to buy. If you don't have a wish list, make one, and force yourself to stick to it. Don't buy anything that isn't on your list.
*Stop browsing shopping sites as much as possible. If you browse every day, try browsing every other day as a start. Slowly reduce the amount of time and frequency of your browsing and find something else to do in your free time, preferably something that doesn't cost you money.
*Get real help for your anxiety. The first two tips are temporary fixes just to stop you from spending compulsively on anything that catches your eye; they won't last or help for very long, and if your anxiety is so bad that you can't control yourself, you need actual help. Remember that retail therapy is fun but it's not real therapy.

I know it's not easy, I actually struggle with the bullshit that is having shopping as a coping mechanism myself and breaking this habit is a struggle; but you can do it, I believe in you.

This is good advice.

It took me literally 20-something years to learn this. I wasn't making many new friends and I realize now it was because I was trying to find people who liked every single thing I did.

>> No.9916335

>>9916182
This isn't intended as sarcastic as it might sound, and I suggest you get help if you can't stop on your own instead of waiting for this to happen, but here is a thing I learned to be true:

Become poor. Get cut off. Spend all that money and find out what's it's like to not be able to buy normal food and worry about having to worry about having a roof over your head. You'll learn. You have to when the bank account hits its limit.

I buy in anxiety as well as sad feelings. Gives me something positive to think about. But I learned to be responsible the hard way, and altrough it sucks, experiencing it is the best teacher. When you know what's its like to have nothing and vent for yourself you'll make less stupid decisions. Either that, or you'll end as a hoe or something similar. Responsibility becomes a very nice choice suddenly.

Set a budget limit that you ABSOLUTELY cannot go over (shipping cost and taxes included in the limit). Limit your buying to once every 2 months or even more time. Find a different coping mechanism (gym, running, swimming, dance, friends).

But as >>9916335 said, the best way to learn to manage your money is to not have any. When you get cut off you'll have to crash-learn, so it's better to start now so you won't suffer.

> Parents offer to contribute to the surgery (I can pay for it myself, but the offer is sweet)

This has been years in the making, but I am super excited. My breaking point was that my lolita has trouble zipping half the month because my breasts swell, and they’ve been slowly getting larger. My classic-loving ass will finally be free.

the midwestern/chicago lolita comm has ALWAYS derailed and shit up any attempt the midwestern gulls have had to organize meets or make threads for local cons. We just had a thread for Anime Midwest get derailed because lolitas threw a fucking temper tantrum that there was no tea party even though the organizers had a primarily lolita based convention 6 months beforehand and said this one was anime themed.
they shit up the thread so much that they claimed the con chair was a pedorapist and he had to actually fucking come in to dispell rumors about the convention.

Our entire experience dealing with them has been a shitshow where they never really let us have anything without their constant bitching about "itas" and "normies". We're fucking sick of them. We're fucking sick of lolitas turning every single fucking thing into drama, especially when they make 0 effort to come to our meetups and always trash them after, even though none of them actually fucking showed up.

I stick to a point I made more early. Blouseless is an aesthetic choice. If you learn what fabric and cut to wear which season, you're actually better off with sleeves than without. They protect you from sun and can keep a layer of non humid air trapped in between making you feel less warm. Only reasons people have this is that many Westeners have the misconception that less clothes always means you're less hot no matter the circumstances.

Sunscreen. Sunscreen, anon.

I appreciate your dedication to the aesthetic but there's no point in suffering if you can't deal with long sleeves in the heat.

>my dedication for aestethic

Sorry, sunscreen doesn't make me less warm in humidity, so it's not as useful as using the right sleeves. Also, direct sunlight feels warm, that's also part of the protection I mean. Sunscreen doesn't stop that warm, after a while burning feeling when you have to walk in full sun.

I don't even hate blouseless. I do hate bad coords tho. And sadly, a lot of blouseless coords are bad. But there are also those I like. Generally, those are styled to be blouseless instead of looking like you just forgot the blouse.

The only thing I'm hating on is this endless argument of "but it's too warm for sleeves", because it's simply not true if you grab the right garment and itas use it as an excuse to try to get away with a bad outfit way too much.

Nayrt, speaking as someone who lives in a very hot and humid climate, if the heat is really bad I ditch the blouse and wear a lace or chiffon shawl on top to cover my shoulders. It looks good, provides a shield between my skin and the unbearable sun (also important: a parasol), and keeps me cool with the lightest breeze.
The blouseless JSK look is actually acceptable in my comm because of the local climate, but it definitely feels much nicer to wear some other garment rather than just a JSK.

But if you wear something like a shawl you're still making my point. As you said, it still provides the protection, which is part of the reason I do recommend wearing it. And I agree, parasols are great.

And like I said, I'm not against blouseless coords in general. There are some i really love. I'm against using it as an excuse for a bad, unfinished looking outfit while if you choose the right blouse (or other things that cover) the heat is easier to stand, not harder.

If you can cut down snacking and sneaky calories like sodas, juice, etc along with even being a little active that will make a huge difference.

I'm super fucking tired of people mini-moddiong and getting their panties in a bunch over "not cgl related" but otherwise harmless feels that clearly aren't bait. Crossposters suck, but the feels thread has ALWAYS had cosplayers and lolitas venting problems that aren't always directly related to cgl. Honestly, if you're a cosplayer or a lolita, your feels are cgl related. Where else can they anonymously share feelings with like minded people??

Why are lolitas so fucking disgusting? During the winter when I was still a new babbylita I purchased a jsk described as "very good" off of lacemarket. It looked kind of dingy to me but I didn't have the mind to check for damages because I was dumb and new, and figured the print was just like that because why would a seller lie, right? I never wore it and just put it in my closet.

Recently I finally decided to wear it and upon inspection it's fucking covered in random yellow streaks, tiny stains, and greyed areas. I tide pen'd some of the yellowing out which just pissed me off more because they aren't even all difficult damages to get out, the seller was just too nasty to clean her shit. I'm going to throw it in the wash and see what happens.

It pisses me off because this isn't even the first time this has happened to me, it's just the worst case. So many sellers list their shit as "like new" or "very good" and say there aren't any damages then the piece arrives with pilling or stains or whatever else. I always try to detail every little damage on my listings and I'm pretty sure me listing stuff as "minor damage" because of a tiny stain instead of just saying it's "like new" like every other dishonest seller puts people off from buying my things.

I don't know, I list any and all damage that my items have and price them accordingly, and people buy them no problem even though they're damaged. I'm actually having issues selling some pieces that are actually in very good and like new condition; not sure why, but here we are.

I've yet to have the misfortune of getting a disgusting piece in the mail but I've heard plenty of horror stories about people sending their shit in absolutely horrid state, or just openly admitting that they never wash their clothes supposedly because they think brand is going to fall apart in the wash.

You need to talk to him about it.

It's natural to get jealous, but the better and more mature action to do about this jealousy is to talk about it, and talk about what you can change from both ends to make it work. I'm not going to preach black/white here, because it's always more complex than 'my bf doesn't like me talking with other guys therefore i can't talk to them' or 'dump his ass,' but you need to be honest with each other about what made him mad, if it's reasonable, and what you both will do in the future to resolve this conflict.

I got major attention in the feels thread month back. Today all of the good advice finally paid off. I have bangs now. Thank you /cgl/

I took the advice to think happy thoughts whenever confronted with a mirror. The sheer effort of doing just that showed how deeply ingrained my self hatred of my face was. But... I feel better now.

Today at the hairdresser she remembered me. Last time she cut my hair was a year ago, so I'm very impressed. I put my trust in her, and the bangs came out great! To be fair I used verbs like "fear" when discussing how to make them and what kind to get. But she understood my point, so my new bangs are super light and fluffy. I'm touching them a lot.

I thought another horizontal line would make my face look more square. It turns out that my glasses and bangs combined actually makes my chin look less square. It's like my
old long hair, swept behind my ears, made this vague pyramid illusion of my face. With that gone, I feel like the triangle has been flipped vertically. Things could not have turned out better.

This post feels a bit disorganized, but the anons who know will know. The other anons who told me to go see a doctor for dysmorphic-stuff, I know you meant well. Either way, I'm so grateful I got to connect with you all. I am cuter in bangs!

See I do agree with >>9916966 about how a lot of blouseless coords do look like they forgot their blouse. I think if it's styled right and there is thought into it, it shouldn't have nitpicks about OMG NO BLOUSE! it's like picking a blouse, you pick the wrong one, it won't look good. I think it's more than an aesthetic choice though, I personally will overheat and end up pretty sick if I wear a bunch of layers (partially because i have a low body temp, I overheat fast and anything touching me feel like I'm suffocating). But I plan my coord according to the weather. If it is cool enough for me to wear a jsk with a blouse I will, otherwise I'll go blouseless or wear a short sleeve op.

Stop browsing sites for weeks at a time and find something else that consumes your time. Pride yourself on having not bought anything and saving money instead, especially when you hear about people in your comm talking about spending the last of their money on lolita.
It should make you anxious to hear about people in poor financial situations, and make you feel good about your restrictive spending habits and subsequent savings. Personally, I love to feel smug about my fat savings account that doesn't *really* need to go anywhere specific at the moment from having stopped browsing sites and buying all the time.

Even for those for who it's true (there has been talk about some gene that makes them sweat less which is reasonably common in Asians), that still doesn't change the things I said and that it would help Westerners jus as well. If you actually read you notice using the right sleeves (fabric and cut) help keep you cool, which means your body will sweat less to begin with because you're not as warm as it would be when held directly in the humid air and direct sunrays.

Showing more skin is a reasonable modern thing, and mainly a Western thing (and in the past, we didn't do it as much either, like I said, modern thing). But less clothes meaning feeling less warm is a huge misconception. Considering that wearing sleeves made from the right material and in the right cut (or else shawls, capes, etc) is actually better for staying cool, I do consider it an aesthetic choice to go without. And that's fine, but make it look good if you do.

Dude I came to this thread with the intention of venting about my life but holy shit, just staring at the text box deciding where to begin overwhelmed me.

I'm overworked, underpaid, and have some mental health issues that cause what most would call laziness when it comes to being healthy. It's more like apathy really, but I have these lucid moments where I'm so unhappy about my job and my weight and the overall 'state of things' that it makes me want to rip my hair out.

Some days are better and I'll have the energy to cook some healthy meal prep for the week and maybe get a work out in, but I'm really not making any substantial progress with my weight loss and it's bugging me out. Sometimes I wish I could just cut all the fat off with scissors and throw it in the garbage.

Nylon with metal grip? Like BlackFencer wasters (see picture, you could dye the Nylon if you wish). These wasters have same weight and balance point as real federschwert, but are fake enough to not count as weapon.

A real federschwert is too weapon-like for most weaponlaws, but if the con allows it, I would suggest thick, blunt, tempered steel like federschwert are.

Note that these are training weapons and hit hard and get heavy if you have nothing to put them away at and carry them all day. But it's defiantly the least dangerous way to make a fake sword that has weight and such like a real sword.

I'm a healthy weight but have a really big chest, so I've been trying to lose weight to shrink it down a few cms. I usually bind my chest for lolita so it looks more flattering on me. I was getting depressed since my weight on the scale went down but I haven't seen any visible differences on me, and almost gave up until today where I received one of my dream dresses as an early birthday gift and it fit me with room to spare to my shock without me having to bind, and prompted me to re-measure myself and find out my bust and waist both went down a couple cms!! a small thing but I'm geninuely overjoyed right now gulls, pic related

What the fuck? Why would you sell your frills because your s/o took her anger out on you during a petty argument? That's not a reason to stop doing something you love, not at all. Talk to her and try to resolve it, it's entirely possible she said that in the heat of the moment and didn't actually mean it.
If she did mean it well that's a whole other matter, but try to talk it out with her before you throw out your frills. Don't be impulsive, you'll regret it.

Prenatal vitamins have been recommended for growing out bad haircuts. I have not used it, but heard about it on here. Consider it a backup of your hairdresser messes up.

On that note, ask people you know if they can recommend a hairdresser. Family, friends, coworkers, most of them have hair after all. Or just check reviews online? You're stressing about pretty basic stuff.

So we talked and it seemed like she was putting her frustrations out on me because she had a bad day. We're both Borderline and tend to be a tad dramatic, but it seems like she doesn't hate lolita she's just not sure how she feels about me being 21 and wearing sweet pastel vomit dresses that cost an arm and a leg to afford. She's happy with me doing it as long as I'm happy and not wasting my money on dresses I'm not going to be happy with. Another thing she's been freaked about is how much attention I get while out in public. I'm nervous around people but I love the style so I'm not going to NOT wear it. I'm going to keep my sweet dresses I do have but I want to branch more into old school and gothic so I have more dresses that aren't as attention bringing but still subtly sweet and wear my AP prints to tea parties and meets or special occasions. Thank you guys and I'm sorry I sperged out. I listed a few of my shitty dresses and am going to save up for this btssb dress I really want! ^o^

I already talked to her about it when she came back. I did my best to explain why I did it and she said she understands and thought it might have been something like that because she knows I am a bit strange but I've never done or said anything unfaithful before. She was just sad that I didn't talk to her and kept it hidden. If I wanted her to experiment with her clothes and makeup more, she said I should have just asked nicely rather than building up this imaginary version of her.

So all-in-all it worked out. She understand that I didn't mean any harm by it, I apologised for hiding my feelings from her and both of us are going to go do some shopping for new makeup for her to try and going to look at some clothes online.

Thank you anon, I won't give it up. But I need to decide on what to major on soon and I'm still very lost.

Good for you anon that everything is working out.
Your gf seems like a good person and probably can do better than you.

>building up this imaginary version of her
This is called a fantasy, anon. Stop trying to think in terms of "versions" and more in talking to your girlfriend about what you like and shit.

Now, being obsessed with your girlfriend isn´t nice or cute either.

If you're dead set in really putting in the work now, a STEM degree is still great, especially tech.

I dont know whether he changed or I did, but it was awful to know that our stupid con escapades really are over for good.

>Tfw your in senior year highschool but your too socially awkward to ask other people to go to cons with you
I just want to do a konosuba group cosplay but dealing with the other gender is too scary to me.
