It's more like pinworms are notoriously highly infectious and will get into your digestive one way or another (you don't wash your hands properly, you idly put your fingers to your lips after touching a table full of greasy kids). A lot of elementary schools have pinworm rampages - it's possibly one of the most common parasites you can get in the western world. Your doctor is assuming a lot to pin it on your nailbiting, it could be anything really.

Also your mom is terrible for giving away your clothing. I can't believe she did that over pinworms.

not OP, but I had them as a kid and so did a lot of my friends. I also had lice because kids in my class did, and honestly my mom was more concerned with the lice.

I can't stand theatrical shit like that. All the "eeeeewwww, you're gross! don't come near me!" reactions about normal-ass stuff that everyone gets like yeast infections or mono.
Most of the time the people doing it are probably disgusting swines themselves overreacting because they're scared of what people will think of them.

Yeah, it really doesn't. Pinworms are an actual little bug, not a germ. Sanitizer is for germs. You need soap and water to physically wash them away.

Still rude as shit to throw your dresses away. I'm not a loli but I know how expensive those things are.
Plus as we've been saying, pinworms aren't that bad even if the whole family has them. They're probably one of the easiest parasites to get rid of.

Poor anon it's sad to here that you suffer from this too. I hope one day you can live yeast infection free. Yoghurt and probiotics are supposed to help.

You could introduce yourself to the online community, as well as your roommates. I think it would help more than just to jump into their meets. Maybe you can slowly introduce your roommate to the idea that you wear frilly clothes - start small with wearing generally girly things, lolita can be saved for when they're used to it and for going out.

I'm curious as to where you're moving to. I'm sure that some folks here might know a thing or two about their rep or the people in it.

Also, here's a post on packing:
http://egl.livejournal.com/19544850.html

As for making friends, that's all up to you. I managed to make friends my first year of transferring to a 4-year university because I took initiative to go out on weekends and get involved in projects, but know people who didn't and said that their experience at the same university sucked because they didn't try.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have been a member of the comm before only for a few months it's just a whole lot of new people joined although there are a few girls I've maintained friendships with online. In regards to room mates I definitely would except I don't know who my roommates are as it's student accommodation. I think I will do exactly what you suggested I wear Gothic and Classic and have a few toned down outfits so I'll take it easy at first.

Thank you so much for the link.

I'm glad you made friends, and I do understand it's about being involved. I think O Week activities and living right across the university might also hope. I do have a few friends in the city I'm moving to although a couple are living elsewhere for now. It probably won't be so bad I think it's just the worrying now.

Shit anon, I'm on DP and I'm a-okay.

I felt ill while my body was adjusting to the new hormone levels, but I expected that because I always got sick around the time of my period, or any other time when my hormone levels were fucked.

My doctor told me that usually bad side effects like that only happen if a person already had issues, it would just make them worse. So if you had to watch what you ate before, it would be more difficult to keep from gaining weight, etc.

Maybe you just reacted to it really poorly.

I really did, and the worst part is that my doctor didn't even properly look at my medical history for most of that year and kept dicking me around with "well try exercising/counting calories!" so I'd count my calories without changing my diet, 1000-1200cal/day every day, exercising 4-6 times per week. Still kept gaining. "well maybe it's your antidepressants, lets try upping your adderall" Did you even look at my antidepressants? They're both listed with side effects of weight LOSS. And on and on with other inane "I don't believe you're not a fat cow sitting on her ass all day eating bonbons" suggestions until FINALLY right before the new year she took the time to look at my medical history, how I'd been basically the same weight give or take 5 lbs since I was 14 up until the very month I started the DP shot, at which point there was a steady and unwavering incline to my weight.

I mean I'm glad we figured it out because I was seriously one more poorly-disguised "stop being a lazy fat person" suggestion away from just starving myself, but FFS if they had looked when I first came in complaining about weight gain we could've stopped this 10lbs in instead of 40.

Seriously. Don't start bc. It is the worst thing you can do to your body. Once you mess with your hormones, it's hard to get them stabilized again. Please research how harmful bc is for women. I'm serious. I gained weight and grew so much facial hair. I was only on it for a year. I'd rather have a guy use a condom because bc is seriously dangerous to your health, especially long term.

I've had them twice in my life time when I was younger. They aren't even severely harmful, really. They just make you a little bit hungry and a bit fatigued and can easily be wiped out with store-bought medicine. You won't even need to go to the doctors.

If you're that worried about it, just buy some pinworm meds. You take one tablet, then after three or so months, I suggest you take another to kill off any eggs that might have been laid.

DP-anon from above. Just so you know, I've been on birth control for years, including the Depo shot, I switched off of it because I was having some issues with ovarian cysts that we thought was related to the shot but turned out to just be a constant in my adult life (woohoo fun times). It was only when I switched back onto it last year that I had any problems. I've been on a number of different pills and the DP shot and the worst side effects I had prior to the last year was spotting for sometimes a really long time. Please don't be afraid of using birth control if you need it or want it for whatever reason! My experience is a pretty abnormal one and so is hairy-anon's.

Just breath. That's really all the advice I could give anyone in your situation. Go to panels that you like and try to forget the asshole ex. Try and engage people on conversation. Even if it's just one person per day.

If all else fails and you start panicking, remember you have a hotel room to go back to. Don't be ashamed about going off away from the con to take a breather there.

Sounds like you're in a tough situation, anon. How about you try this. Since you two apparently both like reading manga and doujin, why not try to find some yuri type ones. You may not like reading them in the end, but it will help you to see if your friend is interested in girls. See how she reacts to the yuri, or even the idea of reading the yuri ones.
Maybe you do like girls, but are just very picky with the type you like? Maybe you've found one that fits your type? The yuri may also give slight hints to her that you're in a way "interested" in girls, and if she's into them too then it might nudge her in your direction.
You could also play games like "Would you rather..." or "Would you ever...?" and casually slip in "Would you ever date a girl?" or things like that. Small subtle things like that may seem playful to her, but will end up being useful to you.
Sorry if this wasn't very good advice, but it's all I could come up with

I'm incredibly depressed and have become a shut-in and I'm seeking therapy for this since I finally told my mom that I needed some help. I've become pretty unhealthy and gained a lot of weight over the last couple of years so I thought I should at least work on that before trying to make friends as an unhappy overweight person with bad hygiene, but having a friend would be nice or at least have someone to spend time with.
At least now I am starting to be motivated by /cgl/ to learn how to sew and I'm becoming greatly interested in lolita after I saw this beautiful JSK that I never thought I'd be into.
Now I have to find the courage to come out to my mom as trans again and this time do something about it instead of repressing it and having it turn into depression.
Damn I'm just lost right now, at least this thread was a nice way to vent how I feel. I'm not sure why but ever since I started really browsing /cgl/ I've had motivation to work out and eat better, I'm down 12 lbs and have been going outside more, I just hope I can get the help I need, I love all you seagulls.

I was in a similar situation- oh this girl is cute, oh I would cry if she married someone because it wasn't me, but I'm not that way inclined am I? Whoops, guess I am. And here I am now with an adorable girl to dress up with.

Basically my advice is to take it slowly, you've got to come to terms with this (I did) and then if they are in the same boat but haven't realised they like you in a more than a friend way, they'll might need some time to work through that as well, no matter how open minded they might be. Just observe how she act's around, can she not wait to see you next time- do you talk often online? How do you interact if left alone on the couch watching movies, do you think she would let you sit close or even cuddle? Maybe she'd let you kiss her on the cheek in a playful way or hold hands? I think observing how she acts around you would help you figure it out for the most part.

In the end though, if you think that revealing something like this might ruin your friendship, it's possible you don't want to be friends we that kind of person, it only has to be weird if you make it weird (or they do, in which case- they're kind of an asshole).

Also, I havent gotten any birthday presents from my parents in... 3 years? They just tend to forget that it is my birthday, and then they are like "Oh Anon, we will gie you your birthday money later"
>mfw when still no birthday presents and this year there wont be any too, I bet my ass on that
>mfw even my friends did not really get me anything

TL;DR
My birthdays tend to suck, so over the years I developed an "I dont care anyway"-attitude so it wouldnt hurt so much
but it does
This year especially with all my friends being away. And even if they DO come, I will be the only loser friend who hasnt managed to find a single friend at Uni during this year. Great. Pretty sure I will again not get birthday money this year to buy myself some burando to cry into.

I posted in a previous feels thread about random weight loss, and my doctor told me it was the new birth control I'd just switched to. I've also been consistently taking my pill at a very specific time for the past couple of months, on the dot, instead of just popping it in whenever during the day. I don't know if that could also be a factor or not.
The pills I used to take, I stopped using them for a month and then I started to gain weight. It's different for everyone.
But my sex drive is pretty dead, yeah. Although, I'm not sure if it's actually the birth control doing that or if I just don't like sex.

Well, birth control fucked me up too. I got
- bigger boobs (which I hate since I had big boobs before)
- fucking mood swings
- depressions
- So much fucking facial hair around my chin/cheeks. Not just peach fuzz, NO, dark, thick, long, disgusting hair. It takes me at least 10 Minutes every day to remove the stubbles with a tweezer and I still miss hair sometimes and I feel so awkward and bad about it because I am sure people notice them.
- The worst acne of my whole life all over my face, cleavage and my back.
- Not to mention it takes a shitload of time to sort your hormones out once you stop/switch the pill

Good luck with bc, I hope you all have a better experience than me.

Tell your partner to get his shit together because you can't do it for him. ALSO - get on the same page about your relationship so you know where you both stand.

>> I've been a lone lolita for awhile but I plan to attend all the meets I can partially so I can distract myself from being lonely and missing my boyfriend.
Lolitas meets are good for this but having regular contact with your partner will better.
Unless you think your relationship won't have a leg to stand on once your ldr, then dump him now and start moving forward in life rather than being attached to a man who hasn't built up the resilience you need in life to adjust to new surroundings and situations.
>>I'm also a bit unsure of what my roommates will be like/how they'll react to lolita, will I make friends?

Pretty much the mentality I try to live by, but lets not kid ourselves: We were raised in a society where birthdays (especially as a kid!) were something big, something to celebrate, a day to be happy on.
Call me childish or stupid, but even though I try to live by the "Birthdays arent THAT important!" mentality, shit still hurts. A lot. I do not even expect something big, just... A little bit would be enough; my friends being there (even though I am afreid they will judge me because I am the only one who was too speghetti to make new friends at Uni) and some money from my parents so I can buy my own cake and some burando to cry into.

Thank you very informative anon.

I understand.

That's a good idea I think I will try to take as much lolita as I can and buy some secondhand normal clothes or get my partner to bring some when he visits.

I don't quite understand. I was talking about how I was upset by the situation. I think we are on the same page and we have plans for our future.

We will be okay with the ldr and plan to stay very contacted, it's the second time in our relationship that we've been doing ldr.Maybe that's why it's so upsetting though as we both thought we'd never have to be apart again. Nevertheless I don't want another partner at all, I adore mine and am very much in love.
Your judging my partner a little harshly anon and I haven't given you any information about him only my feelings about our situation. He's not moving yet so he can finish his course as he can't transfer.

What dress and why did it not look good? Could be you're just not picking flattering cuts, it's somewhat difficult to gauge that when buying online.

I've started working out again though and I've lost about 15 lbs so far. I don't know if I'll ever lose as much weight as I did the first time around, but I guess I'm gonna try. It doesn't help that I'm 25 and only go to one con a year, so the number of cosplays I have left in me are extremely limited. I'll probably give it another 5 years then I'm done. Being old and short as fuck with a shit tier face is just a terrible combination that pretty much eliminates a majority of the characters you can realistically cosplay as.

>Dad screams in my face repeatedly, screams at BF, forces him to apologise to cunt-san for eating the apple, and then forces us to leave.

>Dad screams at her too
>We nope out of there, I park in a lot nearby, and have a panic attack.

Apparently my aunt chewed him out, and my mom made him promise to apologise for being such a cunt, but he never did. I even brought it up to him later with my grandma around, and he steadfastly stands by himself, even though everyone else tells him that he was fucking wrong.

I still feel sick when I think about it, and I don't think I'll ever go to a family picnic again. It was humiliating.

My doctor did something similar, but with my fucking tendinitis.

I probably went to see her 6 or 7 times in the course of 6 months about shoulder pain. She took an x-ray, and told me it was just some swelling, game me sterroids, and sent me home every time.

Eventually I just went to another doctor who told me that if she'd actually looked at my shoulders, she'd see that they were dislocating partially every time I moved them a certain way. Now I might have to have surgery on them because the muscles got fucked up because she told me I was fucking fine.

Dont know much about your past, but

TBH though, you can't blame a guy for wanting to know how many dicks have been there before he puts his in it.

Obviously I don't know how many people anon slept with, and no matter how many that's fine. But you can't be upset with the boyfriend for being uncomfortable with it if she slept with a shitton of guys. I wouldn't want my dick somewhere that 17 other dicks have been.

Honestly. It sounds more like it's because he's worried about not knowing what he's doing, but you can't blame him for being uncomfortable with the fact that x amount of other guys have plowed his girl before.

If I found out that my boyfriend had slept with 15 other girls, I'd be uncomfortable. I guess it also depends on how old anon and her boyfriend are, but for me at the age we are, more than 2 or 3 would seem like an awful lot.

Sleeping around just isn't for some people. I couldn't imagine doing it myself. I would be put off if my partner had done it. It wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker, but I wouldn't be comfortable with it for a while.

Sleeping around just implies sleeping with a bunch of people, relationship is not implied. One night stands and such.

I tried that "would you ever/what if" game a couple times, but when it comes time to actually ask something like this, I start stuttering and blushing and no real words ever come out. I might have to practice or something before I try again so I don't get stage fright...
Thanks for your advice anon!

>>7343770
Oh man, anon. This is the part where I'm not too sure if I look into things too far.
I feel like pretty much most of our interactions are hints that she feels the same, but I don't know if she treats all of her friends like this or if it's just me, so I'm not sure which way to take it. It doesn't help I have practically no experience with relationships, flirting, etc.

We talk a lot, online and through text. When we lived closer we would sometimes hold hands walking around places, and hugged often. She lives pretty far away now that we moved, but she still tries to come to where I live for conventions. Decide to share room for a convention, awesome. But, once we actually get to the convention I start getting all confused. Go to dealers, loud yaoi guy asks if we're dating, I blush and can't speak for risk of spilling spaghetti, act like I didn't hear him, but she did. "Ah no, we aren't." He asks why not, "She had a boyfriend." (I broke up with him a week before she came up for the con)
>mfw
Yaoi guy tries to talk to us more about it, but we're both red and avoiding answering. This moment is never brought up again. Things go back to normal after the con. We still talk the same amount and she still spoils me. I bought her some new ouji pieces for her birthday and xmas; she got me a new BJD. Equivalent exchange isn't a thing to her I guess.

I can't figure out whether this is her trying to show she likes me, or if it's just how she treats all friends. I feel like I should know... but... autism.

I have no problem if you have real self earned disposable income. But op story means this is NOT her case considering.g she's in a position where she lives with parents( likely of age considering rules, and still leeching) and her mom has control to take privileges away. She's put herself in a child's position and complains after being treated as such- she should be grateful her parents bother taking care of her and haven't kicked her out yet for being an overgrown leech.

I wear what I want when I want because it makes me feel good to dress nicely. There are always those morons who rely entirely on others' opinions of them to feel good, but I can look in the mirror and say, "damn I look good today," and not have to have anyone else tell me that.

I still live in my parent's house. It's because I'm still going to school, which is near my home. They let me eat whatever I want from the cabinet, they'll buy me clothing if I really need it.

I'm slowly working towards moving out, but when you're going to school it's really difficult to find somewhere to work a decent amount of hours a week and still keep up with your studies.

At least she has a job and isn't one of those spoiled brats whose parents pay their way through school, and pay for all their clothes, and let them stay at home until they're 25.

It doesn't matter if you're living with your parents. They have no legal right to take anything away that you purchased with your money. It doesn't matter if it's in your house. If you've given that person permission to live with you, they have permission to be there. Throwing or giving away their belongings is illegal. It's theft.

You don't know how old anon is either. She might only be 18 or 19 years old, just out of high school. Most parents allow their kids till ~20 to get their shit together and leave. If they didn't there'd be a HELL of a lot more homeless people.

Most parents let kids stay until they've either got a leg to stand on, or until they've actually just sat around and leeched for years.

Your mom was a pretty fucking shitty person for kicking you out, but it's not the norm.

And, if it's an insult to buy your own clothes with your money while living at home, then her mom was insulting herself by throwing away hundreds of dollars of clothing.

There's nothin wrong with still living at home. I certainly appreciate that I can still live at home. But the sad fact is that I'll never be able to move out, I just don't make enough money. So I have to wait until I can find roommates (which, I have been searching for,) or until my boyfriend gets a job (he just graduated high school this past year) that can pay for it.

First of all, the worms are harmless. Unless you carry a really heavy load, you won't have any side effects. You are still infectious, even if you don't have side effects.

Secondly, they can exist up to a week deprived of any nutrients, and the eggs are very light and can be airborne for short periods of time (like if you have a fan going). The best way to deal with them is the bug-bomb the house, take your pills, and wash all your clothes with a high-heat dryer after. If they cannot be washed, you have to trash bag them for a few days.

Hard surfaces can be washed with high-strength bleach, or other bug-killing cleaner.

To be honest though, that's overkill. Pinworms aren't so serious.

I don't date teens tought, because they don't grasp anything in relationships. I'd like to have a long, great relationship right now, I'm tired of sex buddies, but it's way more difficult to find. I used to have really good sex with my former long relationship so I'm pretty picky about that too.

See, that's where you're wrong.
A LOT of women prefer experienced men because the sex is better, but definitely not all.
There's an equal amount of women who prefer that their partner hasn't been with anyone or at least not many people. Just because men give each other asspats for sticking their meat thermometer into everything (some of which may or may not have had herpes) doesn't mean it's generally preferred by the opposite sex.

I don't need all the drama and awkwardness that comes with having a lot of exes, showing them up, comparing yourself to them, or wondering which # you're going to be. And there's always a possibility that the reason why he has so many exes is because he's a shitty person.

Most of all, having many exes is probably an indicator of someone's promiscuity if nothing else (not saying that as a bad thing, my favorite Elder Scrolls characters are Dark Elves even). I simply prefer someone who is virgin spaghetti in bed so we can bolognese it up together without it being awkward, and to me sex is something really special you share with a person you love. It's totally fine if you're either way, people are different.

Anyway yeah, it's most definitely not always preferable in men.

I personally get incredibly nervous when dating a virgin/someone who hasn't dated anyone before. Every time I do, they get really involved really quickly so I get pulled into it, and then either cheat on or leave me because they want to see what sleeping with other girls is like.

Luckily my current boyfriend is showing no signs of doing that, and we've been together for longer than I've managed to keep anyone else interested. I think the first few months being LD really helped though, since it meant we didn't get in too deep and start alienating our friends or whatever.

In most of the US, it's 16.

If you're both minors, I think there's some kind of 2-yeag age gap allowence or something like that (So a 13-year-old could have sex with a 15-year-old without it being statutory rape) but to have sex with someone over 18 you have to be at least 16.

This varies state to state, but 16 is the most common age.

13 is just way too young to have sex. A lot of kids barely know what it even IS at that age, let alone know to be safe and careful. The mental maturity is just not there.

he lives in a different country to me, and he does have a lot of issues (he was going to a clinic for his mental health but it fell through in the end, which caused him to almost attempt suicide. I called him and cried and begged him not to and in the end he didnt). I'm really really worried about him, but I have depression and anxiety as well and he causes me to relapse into suicidal thoughts a lot too. he met all his current friends through me which also makes things difficult, and I don't know I'm probably making it sound stupid for me to not cut him off but I care about him more than I care about my own well being, which is stupid as hell

I'm >>7343770 That sounds promising! I also had a similar problem, since I didn't see her interact with other people, I wasn't sure if she was treating me any differently but your situation sounds all too familiar! I think if you're both blushing and holding hands that it sounds pretty mutual. It's tough when you live away from the person, but if she's going out of her way to come back and see you, that's a pretty good sign. It's possible she's just as unsure about you- especially if you've never given any clear sign that you're interested in girls, since it sounds like you haven't been before. Or if it's such as in my case, she's semi oblivious in that she doesn't think about it too much in depth and just decides to go with it- either way you'll have to let her know somehow. If you can't say it, then you could always try writing it maybe (but still be there when she reads it)? I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but it sounds really hopeful (and adorable!). Good luck anon!

You can call the police on a suicidal person, they'll take him in and lock him in the psych ward until he's deemed safe and non-suicidal. There is no option unless he's a minor and his parents refuse treatment, and even then the state can take custody of the child if the problem appears dangerous enough.

Usually, the police takes suicide threats very serious and if there is any chance to get him hospitalized, taking it will be what helps the two of you the most.
I know the feeling of caring about others to a point where it gets harmful to oneself and I do not want to call yout intentions wrong or any other names. The thing is, that your friend shows signs that might be hints for a personality or borderline disorder and maybe his last treatment failed due to a wrong diagnosis.

Another therapy might be a chance for him to live a way better life and for you to focus on your own issues and get everything sorted out.
I want to be honest, it could be, that the person we are talking about will see you calling the police as an offense and maybe they will break all bonds towards you but you give them a chance to improve. And maybe, one day he can see what you did for him.
I wish you all the best, no matter how it turns out

I do not wish to be patronizing in this but I fear talking to him about it first might bear the danger of him misunderstanding your intentions and - in the worst case - misinterpreting it and turning them against you. If he himself is taken by surprise, he will not have the time to attack you about it or twist your words or flee it.

Of course this might sound horrible and very patronizing towards him but on the other hand, his life and your own health are at stake.

You can buy the medicine at a pharmacy for 20-30 bucks. I'm going to explain this is horrendous detail, so pardon me.
But the medicine basically makes you shit them all out. You do this once, then take a second dosage later on on the 2nd week. After you do that, you need to wash all of your blankets + sheets and regularly wash up, clean EVERYTHING to make sure you don't inhale anymore eggs.
