My best friend wanted black tea for Christmas, and I found the perfect one for her! She is a big fan of tea leaves, and the tea shop stocked a very special black tea which was extraordinarily sweet. How, you may ask? Apparently the tea bushes had been invaded by a special kind of locust, which made the leaves turn out this way!

I wish I wasn't too socially retarded to be a decent buyer on lacemarket. There's been multiple occasions where I'd win an auction and the seller would send me an invoice or send a message asking for my address and I'd just not respond for more than a week. It's incredibly stupid, for some reason I get this anxious feeling in my stomach when I see a message notification and it takes me ridiculous amounts of willpower to actually respond. I consciously know that making the paypal transaction or whatever only takes a minute and it's no effort at all, yet I keep avoiding it. I feel worse about myself the longer I postpone it and constantly think about how I still need to do it. I feel so guilty being this unreliable.
This has never happened on LM but on less niche secondhand sites I've ended up completely ghosting the seller numerous times. I'd feel too embarrassed and guilty about the time that passed so I just don't respond anymore altogether even though I still really want the item.

>> No.10517157

>>10517155
Man this describes me so exactly, I know what you feel. I don’t know how to get rid of this, shame? embarrassment? frankly childish behavior (in my view)

>> No.10517161

>>10517155
how about you do everyone a favor and never use LM again so you can stop wasting people's time? you're saying you actively worry and think about responding but you can't even take the time to be considerate enough to make a payment and tell a seller your address. being a decent seller is one thing, but buying requires zero effort on your part and all you're doing is screwing people over. """"muh anxiety"""" lmfao you are just a whiny cunt creating a problem out of literally nothing

>> No.10517166

>>10517155
I understand how you feel to some extent because I have this problem with responding to my friends' messages but not with buying things. I find it very easy to reply with my address and pay the invoice, the latter doesn't even require you to talk to the seller so what seems to be the problem? You definitely don't want to keep this up any longer because not only will you not get the items you want, you'll get negative feedback, be put on a blacklist, and ultimately get banned from LM. Not trying to be mean here, just wanted to be honest with you and give you some incentive to change if you haven't realized it already.

>> No.10517167

>>10517161
I get what they say about feeling nervous about replying (I get it too!) but if it is affecting them that much it sounds like actual mental problems. I agree she shouldn't be buying at this moment if she can't even send a reply.

Personally I don't mind off topic posts, especially when they're positive, but your reaction comes across as a bit oversensitive. Honestly I don't even think >>10517105 meant it in a mean-spirited way. There's no need to let that affect your holiday spirit so severely.

>> No.10517236

>>10517228
Ah, I see there's been multiple miscommunications. I'm just a little bummed out that it has happened multiple times, which in turn lowers my holiday hype. It's not like I'm crying about it. You're right about them probably not meaning it in a mean-spirited way, we're all on 4chan after all. But being repeatedly called autistic in the very specific situation of happiness made a feel of its own, and then I posted that? Please don't worry about me in regards to oversensitivity. My holiday spirit is not severely impacted, just a little down for the evening. It's not even Christmas yet.

Ive got some happy feels- I found out today I'm getting backpaid extended unemployment benefits for up to another 6 weeks- I haven't had any real income since august and was living off savings.

I wish I could post pictures around here without being worried about people from my comm discovering I'm using cgl. I prefer sharing and discussing my handmade pieces over here than on any other online platform, but being outed would be quite bad for me.

Thanks, I probably needed to hear that.
Constantly getting angry at myself for being like this is just a stupid way to cope with the guilt by making myself feel bad, while still not getting the thing done. It's still taking the easy way out by self-flagellating instead of solving the problem. I used to feel like, well, at least I have the self reflection to know that I'm being a piece of shit and can adequately beat myself up for that. But in reality it doesn't matter that I do, because it doesn't change a thing about my actions.

The only way to try and improve at this is to get over my bullshit and bite the bullet and do it anyway. Every time I do succeed in responding right away makes the next message a little bit easier.
It blows that something so small seemingly takes such an unreasonable amount of discipline, but all I can do about it is suck it up and do the thing.

I got home and then I just laid down on my bed and started crying for a bit. Stopped crying now but I feel really down. Have been listening to Komm Süsser Tod on repeat ever since before I got home.
I got no motivation, my life is so empty, so much time wasted. What I want is just to be a part of a group and feel like I belong and I'm wanted.
And the world just keeps getting worse too. I used to be able to go to the train station and creep on the nerds who hung out there, sometimes I'd meet people, there were meetups. But really that wasn't so good either, I didn't have anyone, but now I can't even wish I had anyone. I don't know when I gave up, but it's been a while.
Even when I go to cons I meet strangers who let me hang out with them much more rarely. Am I too old? For some reason those kind people were almost always 17, and now I guess I look visibly much more than 17 so maybe they don't want anything to do with me anymore. Or maybe the cosplay community just changed and doesn't care about being social anymore. Or maybe I don't have any fandoms in common with people anymore.

Even though I realize people don't owe me, I feel resentful towards drawfags who won't take two minutes to do something that would take me years of study and practice to learn.

Is posting on cgl still even considered a bad thing? Most lolitas I've met either already post on cgl or are super hugbox-y, with little in-between. The latter are usually not well-dressed, either. I suppose if you're a comm mod that might scare some people, but you know your situation best.

My feel is in the past year I've worked a lot on my anxiety and perfectionism and have been both wearing lolita daily and sharing photos near-daily to keep a log of my past coordinates, and I'm very proud of how far I've come. I'm obviously not getting much attention due to IG tag shenanigans, and it isn't the original reason I started keeping a log, but I'm worried about getting into the mindset where I judge outfit quality by the number of likes I get. It's only a small worry, and I've met some cool people in the process, but it's something I'm cognizant of.

Well done on keeping up with posting your daily coords! It takes a lot of effort to take photos consistently, I could never.
As long as you're aware of the possibility that you could get into that mindset I think you're fine. Remind yourself of the coords you've seen getting a lot of IG likes. Chances are that most of them aren't coords that you would find particularly good. Likes tend to be a reflection of trendiness, photo quality and OTTness rather than quality of the actual outfit.

I imagine it depends on the comm. 4chan in general is still seen as a "scary" internet hate machine (co-worker said he didn't want to visit the site because he was afraid he might get "hacked" by just opening a page) to people so I wouldn't let too many people know I'm here. Plus if something gets posted to the ita thread from that comm, they're going to look at you first with suspicion.

Thigh holster is super impractical for a number of reasons. weight (it's heavy), access, printing (where you can see the outline through clothing and tell it's there), fabric rubbing (will ruin anything it rubs against except more durable/heavy cotton linen denim etc.), maintaining concealment (dress lifts up leg when you sit down? enjoy chatting with police.)

nta but it's pretty easy to amass a lot of brand. i mean it depends heavily on what the individual pieces are, but if somebody's buying a dress or two a month for some years they'll end up with a lot.

for someone with a good income, $200-$600 a month isn't much. the real question is, why don't you have 80 dresses too?

>> No.10517839

>>10517826
Live in CA and save more than half of my salary a year, max my 401k, and invest in the stock market, etc etc. I just started collecting dresses again and I don't spend a lot on really anything due to wanting to purchase property on the down slump of the market. Even 150k salary isn't enough to really buy decent property in an area that is safe unless you're saving a lot and sacrificing in other areas.

Also, 600$ a month probably won't get you 2 new dresses a month due to tax(10% in LA area, fuck income tax as well) and shipping costs if ordering from abroad.

>>10517817
Has 100+ over 3 years. A dress or two a month isn't difficult to buy, but an average of a little under 3 dresses a month over 3 years at around 300$ a dress is a lot more than $200-$600. I'm just assuming they are all new. But it makes sense to be able to spend a lot on brand if your living costs are like $500 or whatever a month and you're buying second hand.

TL;DR I don't make enough money to justify spending $300+ a month on one dress and CA is expensive as shit, and my desire to own property is higher than my desire to own a lot of dresses aka priority.

If I get a better job though, you best believe I will be spending more.

>> No.10517845

She said she has 80, not 100, and that she's probably going to buy 20 next year. 2 dresses a month is not outrageous especially if she's getting some secondhand

>> No.10517848

>>10517845
Oh my bad. I think I read in this thread or another that someone will hit 100 with the releases next year.

And yes, 2 dresses a month is totally reasonable if some are secondhand and your living costs are low and you prioritize brand.

I'm really looking forward to the wardrobe posts at the end/early next year. They always motivate me to work harder and pursue higher paying jobs.

In the process of buying a house, I don't think I've ever experienced such a rollercoaster of emotions, despite having more than enough money it all feels incredibly reckless and scary, too scary to get excited, you can't treat this as an emotional impulse so the excitement of buying a home has to be pushed aside until everything actually works out.

i get bulk sacks of tea because i will literally drink 4 pots a day. mainstays are english or irish breakfast and whatever green is on sale, right now gunpowder. i have fancier stuff too like jasmine dragon pearl, puerh, and fancy matcha and sencha, plus hojicha and genmaicha and the other standards. out of oolong at the moment though. also have rosebuds, licorice, chamomile, and sometimes a lavender mix like with earl grey. all looseleaf.

i wanted to buy this teapot that looked like a duck but the inside smelled like paint so i didn't. i thought it might be decorative-only. i wanted a pot slightly smaller than my current one, but still larger than the metal single-cup brewer. i also have a variety of fancy teacups of all sizes, mainly japanese style.

tea has no calories so it's the wise gull's choice for staying slim. i don't know how people drink caloric beverages all day and still fit in fancy clothes.

Got any recommendations on tea cups? I want to exchange my piecemeal partial sets for one full set but I can't ever find one i like enough to commit to.

That's not necessarily true. Sure some people become heroes with age because their beliefs were beyond their time and only with our modern morals and virtues do we see them as such but plenty of people become heroes in their day and stay as heroes. St Patrick would be one.

I've achieved things in my time. I have a good education, a successful career and I've contributed significantly to charity. But it's all for naught because it's not really that impressive and hasn't made a lasting impact.

The primary problem with cancel culture is that they don't just come after you. If it was just me, I wouldn't have a problem. They attack and harrass anyone close to you including family to drive you into a corner of involuntary social isolation because your family can't take being attacked anymore so they denounce you (at least publically).

Cancel culture is an excuse made up by complete losers to blame others for their own failures. Politicians have hundreds of scandals every year and still get reelected, movie stars get cancelled and still get cast for movies, musicians get exposed and still sell out concerts, influencers start drama and still maintain a large following. Where does cancel culture exist? Fact is you can do a ton of awful shit and millions will still be stupid enough to follow you.

The problem with cancel culture is that things that people did 10 years ago which were considered okay if not a bit edgy are now being classified as equivalent to Hitler. Your actions right now might be considered to be garbage in 10 years, there's absolutely no recourse in that methodology for rational thinking unless we all suddenly become clairvoyants.

It's an ironic hypocrisy of the left that they think the prison system should be reformed into rehabilitation because people should be given a second chance but if you're from any of the bad groups (white, male, middle class and up, conservative, Christian, old, etc) then you should have your entire life pummelled into the ground for things you could not have possibly foreseen as being equivalent to Hitler.

This probably seems autistic but I feel conflicted about wearing makeup whilst wearing Otome and lolita, especially its was originally a feminist fashion that was made to make men feel uncomfortable (which I'm skeptical whether or not it's still feminist since trannies, ''''trad'''' men and sissies constantly bombard this fashion). I believe that makeup part of compulsory femininity that is made specifically so that women end up hating in their own natural bodies and profit male-owned buissnienesses who use child labor in order to harvest the ingredients needed to make the makeup and clogs up your skin etc. But even so, I want to pull my coords together using makeup.

You can have a friend, who is a girl, that is into the same hobbies/interests as you, and not be romantic in any way

My bf likes lolita but doesn't participate in the fashion or wear it at all, but I have friends who do that we wear and discuss together. That's pretty normal. It is rare to have a partner that is 100% into everything you do, and that's why there's groups or friends or communities to join to fill that void.

i also can't get behind women criticizing other women for wearing "too much" makeup or "too little" or anything inbetween. wear makeup if you want, i like it because i find the ritual relaxing. will probably only get shit for no makeup if you post online (which i don't agree with, but it's happened)

Make the choice to go without makeup for some time, maybe a month. Give your mind time to readjust your self image to that of your naked face. You don't have to find it beautiful, just find some comfort first. I look like this. This is what my face looks like. After more than a month, try applying makeup again for special occasions. At that point your naked face will be your perceived ordinary, which will definitely make your painted face extraordinary! If anything it will reignite the thrill of becoming even more beautiful with make up.

But the point is to take a break, and have time to reflect on if you want to look extraordinarily beautiful all the time. Your ordinary beauty will only get noticed if you give it time to show.

Theres a good reason I want lots of kids.

I grew up relatively poor and so my mum who at the time worked in a nursing home had to bring me along during school holidays since she couldn't afford a baby sitter. I spent a lot of time with very old people and without fail everytime I visited the entire room lit up with smiles and the ones that were especially happy were those who never had children of their own. It was fun as kid but as an adult I realise how absolutely fucking depressing their lives are.

They would sit there just waiting for death. Not even waiting for family to visit or to receive a letter, just death. Even those who didn't get family visits often still spoke about their children all the time and loved showing me their photo albums. I asked my mum about her experience there a while ago and she always said the most miserable people were those without children, the ones that committed suicide the most were childless. I asked her about their friends, she told me that ultimately at this age, their friends are either dead or spending the rest time with their own family. Friends won't be there when you die.

All their work, effort, hardship and memories would vanish the minute they die. No one will remember the story of their first kiss, their first job, their childhood stories, mischief as a teen, the scary encounters in adulthood. No one cared about them enough to preserve their memory or their life stories. One of the saddest ends to a human life.

So my goal is to have children and raise them well because I think it's a fulfilling choice, I give myself the best chance at not dying miserable and ultimately my life and my values get carried on.

So 95% of lonely old people dying in nursing homes have kids that they wasted their youth and middle age caring for only to be abandoned anyway.

This is actually one of the most selfish and retarded reasons to want children holy shit.

I was going to reply something similar. You only want kids to be remembered and to (begrudgingly) visit you in the nursing home? Write a book, hire a caretaker. Save yourself a million dollars. Haven't spoke to my parents in decades and they died alone.

You can live, and die, and not be remembered, and that can be ok. Accept that you are not special. Live ephemerally.

This is exactly what I mean. Life isn't all analytical, people are guided by emotion. You can not want children, I share that mindset, but genuinely thinking child rearing is selfish and then shitting on other people for wanting children is so stupid. There's many things that people can be selfish for doing, but having children is not one of them. No offense, but I imagine you're unpleasant people to be around.

You call this a dystopian hellscape not worth bringing life into yet you haven't killed yourself yet. So obviously there are reasons worthy to live in this world.

Stop being so retarded and morally righteous. You sound like the classic upper middle class white people "the world's already over populated, I don't want to contribute to that." When the world isn't overpopulated and you not having one child won't stop a middle-eastern Muslim family having 15 kids.

Then really what's the point of life if not to have a long-lasting contribution to humanity? The best contribution is to bring children into the world and instill them with every advantage to make good things happen when you're gone.

Also being forgotten is not inevitable. Just look at any historical figure who has lived on in people's minds and books hundreds if not thousands of years after their death.

Ceasar, Alexander and Jesus are household names known by everyone.

The amount of mental gymnastics here is astounding. Children are an enormous burden if you actually give a shit about them. Putting better people in the world helps everyone. I honestly don't think I can dumb this down anymore and suspect your ego is too big to accept that you're wrong.
