How does one tell if they have an unhealthy relationship with the fashion?

I don't buy until I can't pay the bills or can't eat, but I feel my live revolves around Lolita.

Has anyone else ever felt this way or does feel this way? Have you overcome it? Is it just that I may just be really enthusiastic about the fashion?

Not sure I understand completely. Are you saying you buy lolita to the point where you can afford your living expenses? If so, that’s a shopping addiction and you should take a step back and try sorting that out before it gets any worse

>> No.10337964

>>10337956
Sorry if it is confusing. No, I don't buy till I'm in debt, I manage those funds well, and I bargain hunt all the time. I just engulf myself in the whole "scene". Join almost every group, always have a coordinate or two on display or planned. Constantly planning things around it etc.

I do suffer from high anxiety and depression, and Lolita gets me out of the house when I'd otherwise hermit it up.

I probably should be asking a psychiatrist about this rather than cgl, but I'm not sure if they would get it, which is why I'm wondering if others feel the same way.

No one is saying to spend out of your budget though? It just reframes your spending habit into a monthly thing. You have X amount allowable for that month plus some cushion, like any budget. It’s just that your money doesn’t exist as hard cash in your hands right at that very moment.

Credit cards are great to improve your credit score so you can do things like buy a house and they usually come with benefits debit cards don't have (like cash back or air miles).

That people actually use them to buy outside of their means is crazy though. They're falling right into the bank's trap. What happens if you have emergency bills and you can't pay them off because you're living hand-to-mouth? Savings should always come before burando.

Technically yes, that is what I do. I buy everything on my CC and pay it off as soon as I get the monthly bill. Thus I get the credit score and cashback benefits.

I never spend beyond my budget though (so like 33% of what I make). Another third goes to savings and the rest pays rent and utilities.

That's exactly how it works. I don't charge a thing to my checking; everything goes on the card and I pay it off in full on the 1st. You never get charged interest this way, you still get your cashback, and your credit score gets better doing it too.

Also, if some Chinaman hacks your card info, you can cancel the card and dispute the charges pretty easily with no real ill effects while the bank investigates, as opposed to them getting your debit card and sucking you clean while you wait for the bank to go "yeah we discovered that you spending $2,500 at a gas station halfway across the country wasn't you, here's your money back."

Not sure if Lolita is for me. Fat but losing weight, tall, and the community is a bit intimidating. I’ve been interested in the fashion since I was a child but as an adult with the finances to peruse it, I feel like I wouldn’t be accepted.

first two are manageable, especially if you end up losing the extra weight, and you don't have to interact with the comm whatsoever if it doesn't feel right. I tried to force myself to participate in the social aspects of the fashion as a newbie since it seemed like such an essential part of it, but found that I was much more content as a lonelita. you get to choose how to wear the fashion, it's just clothes after all.

>> No.10338421

I have been a lolita since 2006 and never been part of a com. all the lolitas I have met online have been nice to me, but I don't set off trying to meet people over clothing. if we happen to talk about clothes and lolita comes up, cool. if not, it's just clothes. I don't base myself or my friendships on clothing.

>> No.10338432

>>10338378
To be honest, the online community as a whole does make the scene look like a bunch of jerks especially CGL where it could be anyone from across the whole 4chan board being an asshole.

Do your best, research as much as you can, keep learning, keep looking at other coordinates, do the right things in Lolita and you will have a great time.

Also, do it for yourself, not for others. Don't have a comm? Go out with a normie friend, or go to the art gallery. Go out for coffee or high tea by yourself or have a friend date for high tea. Go to a theatre show or a play or the festival! You can do it by yourself. I don't have any close friends in my community, so I do a lot of stuff on my own, and its fun.

Being tall is also not a hindrance, you can get underskirts to help if your dresses fall too short and there are longer dresses and skirts out there. There is not one universal Lolita fashion size.

I hope you do get into it and enjoy it. There will be asshats in every aspect of life but you can just ignore them.

TL;DR: do it for yourself, dont be intimidated by online crap, plenty of things to do by yourself as a lone-lita

Anons under your post are saying how getting into debt is great because it raises your score to create even higher debt in the future. I just fail to see how it's nice to have to pay off your credit card debt every month, just to make new debts the next month and so on. Why not just put enough actual money you own on your bank account for dream dresses and small emergencies?

>> No.10338713

>>10338678
There are some places in the world where credit score is very important, not just for "higher debt." Being able to buy a house or a car can greatly depend on credit score. Hell, my student loan debt went down after I started using a credit card more often because when I was a student, I had no real credit to my name, so once I started using a credit card for small things and paying them off quickly, my interest went down on my payments. So yeah, for some people, this is a smart thing to do. If your country doesn't rely on it, congrats.

I started late and it almost cost me being able to move into a better apartment. I had credit for less than a year when I applied, and almost didn’t get approved. I had to jump through more hoops and pay a bigger deposit. Definitely get a card with a low limit if you’re worried. An ideal credit range of total credit used is about 10%. I attached mine to Uber, since it’s a regular but not big expense.

I don’t recommend putting big purchases on a card unless Payday is literally next week.

Because eventually you’ll need to *actually go into debt* to buy something you need, like a house or a car.

Having a better credit score not only makes it more likely that you’ll get approved for loans for either, it also means the interest rate you’re being charged will be lower too. The bank knows you’re good for it due to your score, so they won’t be as in a rush to make their money as they would be with someone who may or may not be able to make payments at all. For example, when you hear a car ad talk about good financing deals and they say “for well qualified buyers,” they’re not talking about “people with savings,” they’re talking about people with good credit.

>> No.10339044

>>10339036
This. The credit system is designed to make companies money, but also to allow people to make large purchases within their means over long periods of time. That's why banks and companies use credit score in order to loan out large sums of money.

I don't want to be involved with the major lolita community for this reason, I even hesitate to list things on Lacemarket because people do creepy stuff like stalk purchase history or doxx buyers and sellers. I do wish sometimes I had a friend who was also into lolita so we could chat about it and maybe wear the fashion out together because that sounds really fun but alas.

Big feel on this. Got a toxic friend out of my life last year and it felt like an enormous weight was lifted! I couldn’t believe how long I’d let her pressure me into continually hanging out with her even when I’d try to fade away, and I can’t believe I kept anyone around who constantly encouraged me to be a worse person and who mocked the best parts of me, like my compassion and generosity. Only sad part is that she was the one who got me into lolita and now going to meets is awkward and not as fun as it used to be. It’s slowly getting better and I’m in the beginning stages of real friendship with a some of the other girls so hopefully I’ll have more lolita friends (not just aquantinces) soon!

Because we have friends and interests in common, because she guilted me into things by saying how much my friendship meant to her, because the friendship wasn’t always toxic and it was a slow gradual build. It wasn’t as if she’s a huge bitch immediately upon meeting her. She’s just greedy and selfish but covers it up with simpering sweetness while taking advantage of everything you have to give while like sending you money requests for a single beer in a bar and telling you it’s only fair. It’s hard to explain to an outsider. Humans are wired to respond to social pressure and some people take advantage of that. She was one of those people. I was that frog in a pot of slowly warming water and it wasn’t until I jumped clear that I realized the water was boiling. It wasn’t until I told her I no longer wanted to be her friend that I realized she had been the cause of the general anxiety I’d started feeling years before. She manipulated me into feeling bad or like a bad person for doing pretty much anything without her or setting boundaries. Every time I tried to talk about these things she made me feel like I was the one being selfish. She secretly picked fights between me and other people. It goes on and on. I’m not a doormat generally, and will tell people to fuck off, freely and often. This was something totally different. My boyfriend had been joking since I met her about that Single White Female movie, she just put her claws into my life

You can do it!

From experience, you don't need to be that weight to properly fit brand. Most things fit me pretty well at a higher weight than what you listed. Everyone's body will differ though.

Weight doesn't matter as much as measurements. So when I plot my progress, I always keep track of my measurements. Work hard to keep up with your goals, but enjoy yourself in the process. When you reach a specific goal, treat yourself with a new item that you couldn't have fit into before. It's a nice reward. Good luck, anon!

This is sadly true. But only kinda for a car. If you get a loan from a bank then its hard. Dealerships are different some dealers will push loans on people. If they get one payment and take the car back its worth it. For people not in the know most of the American car manufactures are not manufacturers but Banks. The actual manufacturer is a separate entity that exists offshore for tax purposes hence why our cars are all made in Mexico / South America.

Us normal girls get what I call "boredom cum" which is the result of a man fucking you just because it feels better than jacking off and not because he's horny, he saves his best nuts for pornstars.

Usually lolita gives me strength but after this rough mental health phase I'm not sure if I want to stand out like a sore thumb in the general public. Does this feeling go away?

Me too anon, I've been dissociating a lot lately and it's hard to wear frills when you don't feel like yourself or are stressed out and anxious.

Thank you anons, this does make me feel a bit better. Thing is, I don't even have normie fashion anymore and whatever could still qualify as normie fashion still stands out in a crowd (especially during winter). But I did go out in my only black solid main piece just a day before writing my original post and it made me feel calmer, I didn't style it as a lolita coord though. I own very few pieces in black and dark colors however, so it made me think that maybe I should look into more dark solids that can be worn without a petti. I'd say my style is casual sweet most of the time, but maybe it's time for a little break...

I also hope that you gulls will feel better soon, too! Mental health can be rough, but it's comforting knowing that there's things you love that can cheer you up.

I want to wear lolita more often, but I am a coward. It's summer all year round here, so most people wear shorts and t-shirts. The income gap is widening, so most people prefer to dress down and not show off their wealth even if they have it. Going out in lolita is almost humiliating at times. I thought maybe I'd be able to wear it around my university campus, but I wore a dressed down outfit to a lecture once, and the next day, everyone was talking about it. I hated the attention. The only time I feel comfortable is when I'm with my comm. I'm really thankful for them, even if it is a little bit hard to relate to the conversations at times because there are hardly any members around my age.

I fell in love with a guy I met at a con. Then it turned out he had a crazy obsessive ex who blackmailed her way into living with him and took over his life (I.e. controlled who he was allowed to talk to) not long after we started dating. I waited far too long to end it because my stupid “love” for him allowed him to string me along for three months.
Point being, don’t date him before you know him, get to know the guy as a friend first.
Also you’re attitude about “not deserving” him is an easy way to get yourself taken advantage of and/or abused. You need to be secure enough to believe you deserve a good healthy relationship with a kind and caring guy.

this makes me sad. It kind of sucks that lolita is inherently a very flashy style and necessarily attracts attention, because there is unfortunately no way to escape it if you don't like attracting attention. The best thing you can do is keep wearing it and numb yourself to the stares and it will make it easier, because no matter how you wear it it's going to get people looking and talking. I think it's worth it to wear what feels right to you in the end. Also make sure what you're wearing is perfect because it's hard to tell the difference between people staring because you're in lolita and people staring because you look really cringe

She’s been hinting at it for a long time with vauge sadposts so I’m not surprised. She hasn’t been in the fashion for that long, I wonder what made her leave for good.

I'd message them yourself. The seller probably got spooked by the account bc probably no feedback and a man.

If you had to be encouraged to buy it, you probably didn't like it that much so it's better you save the money for another release you like more! And based on the success of this series Meta will probably make more similar pieces.

Well, uh, yeah? The person I'm thinking of acts like and has the morals of an usual female costhot, only he's male... But maybe the better word is something like "fuckboy"... You know the type.

There's definitely more like him out there making good money and getting popular too. They simply go unnoticed and get away with things because they're male and whatnot.

I guess this also means there are also female cucks and simps because I am one

Not so much. It's painful how much I want it, but I'm also currently leaning on him pretty hard, it's been a rough year for us both. I could hardly believe him at first that we could indeed afford it, then I missed the bloodbath.
Sucks, holding out a grim hope they'll MTO or release other colors.

I'm the OP of the forever alone picture and damn, I could have replied exactly that. I've been in multiple meets but that's not my point... I often see in ig pictures of little groups of lolita friends that are in my city and I just feel so awkward sending messages over and over asking for a coffee or a tea. However they interact with me in social media (giving me likes and so) so I don't understand, if they like me, why they don't want to meet? And if they don't, why making the efford to keep the online contact?

And we're talking about 27-33 year old folks (I'm 28), so no little noob baby lolitas...

Anyway I guess I'll go back to my cave.

Cinema doll in lavender since I grabbed the dress without headbow and I doubt anyone would be willing to split their set - didn’t wanna deal with begging people to sell it either.

I don’t have money issues just sometimes itfeelsbadman.jpg but in the end it’s worth it! I know I‘d be internally whining at myself forever until I get it anyway

>he broke up with me a week before prom after my mother and I worked on sewing a custom dress based off of one of his favorite video games (based on some of sakizo's designs)
>he cut off all contact with me, told his friends (my only friends at the time) to ghost me
>show up to prom alone because I bought the damn tickets and the entire school teases me because I'm that anime loser that of course was "lying" about having a boyfriend from another school
>he fucking ghosts me after 3 years, leaving me friendless with no one to turn to (my family despite being cool enough to help me with this dress was highly abusive and I used his home as refuge)
>the breakup also lead to his parents divorce (they were rocky anyway but me not being around anymore caused tension,as I did all the household chores and helped in other ways he refused to in exchange for me using their house as refuge)

I was happy to reconnect and maybe be friends again but "I'm glad I did it the way I did the when I did"

A friend of mine recently had almost her entire wardrobe stolen. I've spotted the thief trying to sell some of the stolen items. My friend doesn't want to involve the police though, so I guess there's nothing to be done about it, short of showing up at the girl's house with a group and just taking it?

Annoying thing is, the thief is a mod of the comm and has been spreading nasty rumors about my friend, so I don't know if others in the comm would even believe what happened. She's a very manipulative, abusive type, but puts on a good show.

Sorry for the blogpost, just wanted to vent. It's hard to just watch this happen and not be able to do anything about it.

Problem is, my friend has asked me not to call it out because she wants to leave all the drama with this girl behind her. Even if it means losing her wardrobe.

Luckily she has a well-paying job so it won't take too long to replace things, but still. It's so annoying to see.
