What's the worst advice you've ever gotten from /cgl/?

[Anonymous No.6918425]

"You shouldn't worry about what others say, just do your thing!"

[Anonymous No.6918465]

Not bad advice, just how I executed it.

>Buy wig for lolita, ends get tangled
>Wash it in fabric softener, gently detangle with comb
>Still has tangles. What should I do /cgl/?
>Recommended to find someone with experience with wigs since I was nervous and have a hands on lesson
>Cosplay friends know a girl who knows a lot about wigs, she's coming over to visit
>They show me some pictures, her wigs looked nice
>Call her up and ask for some help detangling while she's in town
>Doesn't seem keen, so I offer to pay her for the lesson, she agrees.
>Friends have a slumber party, pack up my wig and head over
>"You should never wash a wig in fabric softener. Just use normal shampoo."
>Don't think that's right, but she's the expert and I'm paying for her advice
>She pulls out her hairbrush and goes to town on my wig
>Fibers falling out by the handful
>Try to stop her, get the evil eye from everyone at the party
>Realize I'm fucked and resign myself to my fate
>She finally stops when she notices a huge fucking hole in the back of my wig
>"Sorry, that's what happens when you buy cheap wigs."
>Picks up my wig and drops it straight into the trashcan

And that's how all her friends found out that she doesn't actually know much about styling wigs and gets hers commissioned.

Bonus fun! She got my friends to confront me on why I didn't pay for my "lesson". I just stared at them with my best "Are you fucking kidding me?" face until they buckled under their shame and left.

Yeah, they were a bit immature. This happened a few years ago, and they were pissed at me for a while. I guess because I accidentally revealed that their cosplay guru wasn't so knowledgeable after all. They came around, though, actually stood up for me against that girl at one point.

>>6918480
Nope. It was one of those paddle brushes with plastic bristles. I don't know if she ever used it on her own wigs, but she definitely used it herself because it had a ton of her hair caught in it.

[Anonymous No.6918525]

>auction off your lolita dress, it is a rare and popular piece and will bring you more than selling.

Worst decision ever, I could have sold it for 150$ more if I just waited for a regular buyer. Egl auctions are intimidating and risky, less people will give it a try because they fear to be outbid or the ones who'd be willing to spend more money on it will miss the auction and you have to accept low as fuck bargain offers. Yeah, I've learned my lesson now.

Similar thing happened to me when a "friend" offered to take my wig and detangle it for me the day after a con. Claimed she was really good at it and would make it look just like it did originally. This was my first wig and I stupidly decided to cosplay a character with incredibly long hair.

I stop by her house to pick it up the next day, see it on her table looking 10x more ratty and frizzy. I ask her what she did to detangle it, shrugs and tells me she "tried to get out the tangles with a hairbrush, but it didn't really work."

Is this bad advice from anywhere or just /cgl/?

I've not really gotten any bad 'advice' from /cgl/, but I've gotten bad advice from friends.

For the second wig I ever bought, I need to make Konata's hair curl and my friend (who supposedly lurked /cgl/ all the time and knew all the secrets of cospay) told me to use rubber cement on a section of hair and hold the wig in place until it dried.

It ruined that part of the wig and the next time we went to a con, her costume was safety pinned together.

I seriously didn't think anyone could be that hopeless if they browsed /cgl/ until that girl happened.

[Anonymous No.6919429]

"Google it."

After I'd already done exhaustive research and just wanted reviews.

[Anonymous No.6919483]

Back when /cgl/ used to have a lot of "comfort me" threads, I posted about how my boyfriend had dumped me because sex for me was extremely painful and he told me I wasn't trying hard enough which meant I didn't love him.

A couple anons (or possibly one anon samefagging) who apparently were internet doctors went off on me. One said that I never tried, that I was an overdramatic bitch, that I actually did enjoy it but was so prudish I pretended I didn't. I spent weeks agonizing over whether that anon was actually right, and that's why my boyfriend left me. I became deeply ashamed of myself.

Finally I worked up the courage and went to my gynecologist and explained everything. Found out that I had an underdeveloped vagina and my doctor was shocked that I could even stand to try sex more than once. She prescribed me hormones and I'm doing fine now.

Also found out that my boyfriend was cheating on me the entire time, and then cheated on his next girlfriend and the one after that. I don't think there was anything I could have done to make him stay.

Who the fuck in the right mind would take advice from /cgl/, or even 4chan for that matter? There's plenty of underage and trolls, and even if you do, at least do some research. There's no one to blame but your own stupidity.

[Anonymous No.6920910]

>>6920903
For a person that is used to eating a lot and needs to drastically cut down on what they used to be able to eat, dieting is a major bitch because your body is sending signals to your brain that you still feel hungry. Not only that but people go overboard and completely deprive themselves of "bad" food without realizing that they could maintain their diets better if they just ate in some moderation.

I know I for one wasn't able to lose weight with exercise unless I kept my daily diet at around 1000 cals. I was miserable because I was used to eating at least 1800-2000 a day and felt depressed and deprived all the time. Had to visit my doctor and everything for that.

Well, it's just that last summer when I decided I want to become fit instead of skinnyfat I also had to change my diet, but I saw it in no way whatsoever as suffering. All I had to do was pay more attention, use smaller plates, and ditch potatoes and pasta for veggies. Can't really imagine much pain there.
>>6920910
I guess I can see where you're coming from, but you CAN feel full for a small number of calories. For example, a portion of vegetables and beans strew is around 300 calories, the same as a Snickers and it's much more filling.

[Anonymous No.6920934]

>>6920919
>but you CAN feel full for a small number of calories
Sure, but what I'm saying is that won't happen from the go for most people. It took me awhile before I realized that consuming protein alone won't make me feel full without getting fiber into my diet as well. To many that's just a nutritional given, for others like me I had to learn that. And I never ate junk food that I knew for a fact wouldn't make me feel full like Snickers.

Can't remember the last time I had chocolate actually. But I did have two ice cream sandwiches last week and even then I knew what a horrible choice I'd made, satisfying as it was.

/cgl/ has proven to be more relevant and helpful than fucking coscom weebs who think they know the answer to everything. Urgh JasonTerror.

Either way, if you go to 4chan asking about your feelings and other stuff like that, you probably aren't going to get the full support therapy session that you want. But if you go here with technical questions, there are a lot of seasoned cosplayers who are willing to share experiences and techniques.

I don't even cosplay, go to /cgl/, or have a vagina, but cutting fucking sucks. Not only do you begin to lose strength, but you feel tired, weak, and hungry all the time.

Shit sucks, not gonna lie. But that fat needs to come off somehow, so you just have to deal with the consequences of eating below maintenance and do it right so that it doesn't take longer than it needs to and you don't lose too many gains.

Honestly I can't think of any bullshit advice I ever got from cgl that I didn't already know was bullshit and acted upon.

I think one piece of bullshit advice a lot of cgl lolitas give to newbies though is "Buy Bodyline first so that way you'll get a better idea for what you want." I bought a brand dress as my first dress and I knew that was the dress I wanted. The third dress I ever bought was from Bodyline, it was a trendy impulse buy because I thought I'd might want it, but I've only ever worn it twice. It was a huge waste of my money and I can't even resell it for what I technically bought it for. And usually I'm not a fabric snob, but this dress is not impressive in terms of fabric. They didn't even line it so it sits weird over petticoats.

If a newbie has been lurking and knows what they want then let them do it. Don't advise them to waste their money and time just because they're new.

How fucking fat must you have been? People who have just a little more than what they need don't, and indeed can't lose that much in such a short time. If your goal is 54kg when you are 90, then, if you're doing it right, you'll lose a lot in a short time. But if you're at 60 and need to drop just a little more, then it'll take effort. If you cut "30 lbs in a month just by eating less and better", then you should've been 10 times that. Hamplanets gonna ham.
> "I don't actually know anything about depression so I'm just gonna say everything is your fault"

Uh-huh. I talked to depressed people. I was treated for clinical depression myself at some point in time. Depressed people usually don't get fat. In fact, some lose weight because anxiety makes them unable to stuff a breadcrumb into their throats (as is the case with me, for example). When I feel like shit, I eat only because I know I have to.

You must also acknowledge there's no conclusive proof that depression causes weight loss as well.
The reason, oh smart one, why they can't prove either is because it can go either way. And if you publish something as arbitrary as saying "gee guise, I guess it can go either way xD" in the medical community without a proper study, it will look non-credible.

Some do. That's not a certainty, but it happens in practice.

Yes, and these "some" are hams I am talking about. That's what I'm trying to say: it's fats who get fatter while depressed.

I'm going to provide it once you show me proof that depression makes you gain weight. Do you have such proof, I wonder?

[Anonymous No.6922369]

Fuck having proof about people in general gaining or losing weight because of depression. What I want proof for is THIS:

>it's fats who get fatter while depressed

Because with nothing to back that statement up, it just sounds like an asshole's assumption because "ew fat people" and "people can't POSSIBLY have experiences other than the ones I've had".

>I was treated for clinical depression myself
>some lose weight because anxiety makes them unable to stuff a breadcrumb into their throats (as is the case with me, for example).

Also, depression and anxiety are two different disorders. Just because you have one doesn't mean you have the other.

It hasn't been proven that there's a solid link for weight GAIN nor LOSS in depressed people.

I haven't googled, but I'm quite sure no serious research was done on this specific subject, so yeah, I'm talking out of my ass because I don't like fats. As if that wasn't obvious from the start. But in any case, I only ever saw hams saying depression makes them eat, even if their 'depression' was just feeling bad about being overweight. Um, yeah, depression is more serious than that.
> Also, depression and anxiety are two different disorders. Just because you have one doesn't mean you have the other.
About half on those who have one have the other. But yes, true, they aren't exactly the same. Yet still, depression might make you eat less for a variety of reasons.

The point is this: it's you who first claim that you can get fatter when depressed, but it's for me to prove that you can also lose weight. You believe in one statement, but demand proof for another. Your fat must be replacing your grey matter.

>"never put mascara on your lower lashes, it looks horrible!"

This was in a makeup thread.

[Anonymous No.6922499]

Oh wow, my post turned into this? I'm >>6920844

Details:

I was 54kg at 168cm at the time. Now I'm 58 and my top was 62 when I was stuffing myself like a beast

My diet was a no carb diet (prescribed by a nutricionist, it was not a random recipe I found online) and I was, literally, always hungry. I had to eat giant servings to feel full and like, 3 plates of soup and 10 minutes later i was already hungry. I ate no complex carbs, but stuffed myself with fruit and cheese and juices when I was hungry (and I was still hungry after that)

I was already depressed before going into the diet and the medicine I was taking at the time was an appetite stimulator (only discovered later). The more I ate the more hungry I felt and I was not getting ripped and thin and that made me sadder, which raised the dosis of the medicine, which made me hungrier, etc.

>Insert monthly vacation

Changed medicine, ate loads of rice and beans (that's Brazil for you), stopped feeling hungry between meals, started eating less, got a decent figure. Still skinnyfat, but stopped caring as confidence boosted and depression started to slow down.

>Today
Not completely happy with skinnyfatness, but accepted as it is. Never want to diet again, may go back to gym someday and make a habit out of it. I don't care about the outside anymore, but I'm worried about my heart and lungs.

I eat well, have a balanced diet and don't feel hungry between meals anymore.

And that's the whole story for you guys.

[Anonymous No.6922511]

>>6919483

That's awful anon, I'm so sorry that you even wasted so much time on that your guy. Your love should be reserved for somebody nicer because I'm sure you certainly deserve it.

Similarly I experienced some pain during sex and I believe it's due to me having a tilted womb, but recently for like the last year it's been different ie. very sore, stinging pain when my boyfriend first enters me, and it can last for days so that it stills hurts if we have sex a day or two after.

The pain immediately dissipates once we get into it, but I won't go to a doctor because I don't put a lot of trust in them after I got some bullshit results from some arrogant, know-it-all, fresh out of medical college young doctor who wouldn't prescribe me antibiotics when I went in with an infected tooth. The entire gum around the tooth was swollen so huge I couldn't close my mouth and when I attempted to lance it myself at home when the fear got too much... it leaked pus.

He tried to tell me that sometimes antibiotics make tooth infections worse and gave me a pack of Co-codamol. I went to a dentist the next day and the dentist was horrified that he'd left me in this state and booked an appointment to have the tooth out in 2 weeks. I had to wait two weeks because the dentist wrote me out a prescription herself for the antibiotics so I had to wait for the infection to clear.

Based dentist.

Does anybody else here experience a similar issue with sex?

Sex also hurts for me. I went to a gyno and she perscribed a lubrificant, I've been applying it but don't know if it will work or not yet. I talked with my psychiatrist and we both think that it may be a psychological issue...

Only ever think that when you ruled out everything else. Shrinks don't know the first thing about medicine. I listened to them and it's a tendency among them to ascribe everything to coming from your psychological issues, even when it can't possibly be true. Seriously, some of them think cancer is the result of bad feelings and can be cured by working out your personal issues.

[Anonymous No.6922802]

I had a similar experience. Pain on entry, etc.I went to two different female doctors that told me to just use lube despite the fact that I'd already tried that and it wasn't helping. I was told twice that I just wasn't using enough.

That was the last time I went to my local health unit. My GP made me a referral to a specialist who had his resident look me up and down and do every test known to man and finally my problem turned out to be scar tissue right at the entrance. I probably got a little tear from my partner being a little rough one time and it never got enough time to heal because it kept getting aggravated every time we had sex.

The doctor prescribed me a cream that had a bunch of stuff in it and like a miracle I was healed. Can't tell you how good it felt to have sex without the pain again.

This goes for any issue: when your doctor is being a douchebag and blames the inefficacy of your treatment on you, or ignoring any other concerns you might have, it's time to get a second opinion.

I trust the medical knowledge of my shrink a lot (I'm in the medical field as well), so we're outing the physical reasons and leaning to a psychological one... But I think I'm going to a different gyno if the lube does not work out. On any case, my suspect that it's psychological has to do with the fact that it hurts more and more each time we try. Like, my first time it did not hurt at all, then my first time with my boyfriend (who is a bit bigger) hurt a bit, second time hurt a lot, then it keeps hurting more and more.

I apparently have a condition where my body "forgets" it went through puberty already and will just stop producing hormones. It took YEARS of telling my mom something wasn't right before she finally got me a gyno appointment (I was still on the family medical plan so couldn't arrange it myself). My periods started really late at 17, and will randomly stop for up to a year. My boobs also randomly jump in size in a short amount of time. And I still have issues with sex, my sex drive itself is way way low and I can only have it for less than 10 minutes before everything goes kind of...painfully numb? Like when your leg falls asleep and you get that numb yet stinging feeling as the blood rushes back.

uh- just so you know, Psychiatrists have to go through medical school just like doctors and dentists. Generally psychiatrists and psychologists work in a firm together, one specializes in medication for treating mental conditions that can be improved with medication (e.g. depression and bipolar disorder) and the other specializes in non-medicated therapies for those who benefit from long-term coping solutions (e.g. OCD, Phobias) Psychologists are also educated in medication, though not as thoroughly. Those who have a specialty (e.g. therapy for autism) will know the common medications, drug interactions, and side effects like the back of their hand.

Main differences- Psychiatrists go to medical school before learning psychology. They can prescribe medication. They have PHDs. Psychologists generally go through liberal arts/humanities before learning advanced therapy techniques and brain physiology. They usually have PsyDs, though sometimes they will have PHDs (those who pursue PHDs are better versed in medication and brain function.) They cannot prescribe medication.

The people that take in that advice with a big heart are those who shield their ego well and aren't afraid. However, they shouldn't be told that because rash people will hear that as "fuck yes, do whatever retarded shit you think is cool right now!" instead of "if you try, you can have fun too".
