So if I read this right..
You're sharing a home with someone you're in a relationship with, you want to break up with them, but that'd mean moving out as well?
If so, gently break up with them, but remind them that you'll have to tolerate each other for another 9 months until the lease clears. Try to hold off any fighting (if either of you are the violent-type, you're fucked) and just go about it maturely.

I procrastinate a lot because I fear something either has to be perfect or not done at all, then as time goes on, I end up succumbing to time constraints and just pull something bad either late or at the last minute.

I can never bring myself to go, "here is something I need to do, it will probably be needed in the next few weeks, but I should do it right now to save myself the trouble. But trouble arrived.

She takes money from my wallet if I'm not watching it. She hates that I have a password on my computer, since "You don't trust me!!" No shit I don't.

If she wanted me to pay a monthly rent, say it. I'd be able to actually budget it in if I knew what I'd be paying, rather than noticing a chunk mysteriously gone.
But, "Anon, you don't need to pay rent!! You're family!"
"Anon, you have to lend me money, we're family!"
I think she's in denial about the fact that she's basically relying on me. Wants to hide behind promises of paying me back than me just paying her regularly.

Yes, I'm saving up to move out. I'm still recovering from what she's taken, however. I'm paying for school and working part time, so I'm doing the best I can right now.

Moral of story: Defying your parents isn't as easy as some of you think it is.
They give us food and shelter, sometimes tuition, and many threaten to take that away. Some carry that threat out and kids find themselves on the streets.
Sometimes it's easier to just lay low until you gather enough money to move out, however long that may take.

Yeah, no. I'm a different anon without crazy ass parents, but right now moving out is NOT an option for me. My job doesn't pay enough, and there's nothing hiring anywhere near full time anywhere around me since I live in a college town.

Don't just assume that she can pick up and move on out. If she could, she would have already.

They follow you when you go out. Want to bring home a boyfriend/girlfriend. God help you if they don't meet your parents' requirements. Hey, it's family reunion time. Time for your parents to dogpile your apartment and make passive aggressive snatches at your SO and bully them to the point your SO leaves the house. Plus, they pull that same shit on you, guilt trip you and say everything from your education to your grades (that you worked hard for) was on them.

I'm glad you didn't have to experience that, but I don't think you white people sometimes get the emotional abuse and blackmail other more traditional races go through.

Why do people assume that it's so easy to move out, like you are magically able to get an apartment of your own?
My friend was homeless for five months because his mom kicked him out after her divorce. You think people want a hobo for a tenant? They don't. They just scoff and say they'll think about it, and give the flat to the nice girl with loaded parents.
He only got an apartment after he basically blackmailed his college to offer him one (they refused at first because "someone else got better qualifications" but because the system works by giving dorm rooms to the ones who need them most/have least financial support first, he said he'd sue and they suddenly had a change of heart).

Nigger don't even get me started on this one. You're stuck with your family, no matter how fucked up it is, unless they're really abusive or some psychopaths or something. You have to bear all of baba Alenka's Mexican soap opera-tier drama with aunt Nadezhda, know who hates whom the least because everyone inevitably ends up hating everybody, discern between gossip and reality and be guilted into taking care of all of them (yes, all) because we don't have retirement homes.

Worst of all? They will shame you into doing what they want you to when they need their bedpan and you fled the country to get away from them. If you have an inkling of authority over your life they will fucking make sure to take care of that too. They will forget that they beat you with a power cable as a child but always remember their sacrifices of feeding you and changing your diapers (which is an important point they will bring up whenever theirs need changing too).

"How could you study to be an optician, why are you ashamed of your family of dentists! We had tradition!"
"Why did you bring this snake into the house, all she does is eat and sleep! When are you gonna get kids? All she does is put on makeup, a good wife should cook everything for us! If you were a real man, you'd beat her until she gets it!"

"Why did you buy a house there?! Why is it so far away from us?! We are a family! What about when we want to stay over?"

"Why did you buy THAT bread? THIS bread is better! You know nothing!"

"Don't tell aunt x that aunt y told me about aunt z having an abortion! Actually tell her, I wanna go gossip about it with her even though I hated her for the past two years but somehow we still talk like old friends!"

Worst part is, on families here they expect you to stay. Moving out is considered rebellion and moving out too far away from your house an act of hatred towards your entire kin.

White american here
My close family is awesome, along with my mother's. It's my father's European side that is full of narcissistic, manipulative, lying two-faced people.
My uncle, my father's brother, married a beautiful Filipino woman who was full of kindness and love. For some reason she was having trouble conceiving, and they had been trying for a little while. Well my grandmother, my father's mother, went through the entire family EVERY SINGLE FAMILY MEMBER (even me and I was fucking thirteen) and said

>something wrong with that woman
>bad genes would be bad to pass down if she got pregnant anyway
>probably an STD
>more likely because she doesn't go to church
>cheating on him i bet
>definitely nothing wrong with uncle not his fault
>this is a very big deal in the family it should be everyone's business

She even called my mother's mother (who hated her and had not talked to her in over a decade) to tell her this shit she completely made up. Ended up getting hung up on, only confused her.

She would even bring this up at the dinner table during family gatherings WITH HER THERE.

The really bad part about it was that she would go on and on about it, and she did this for YEARS. It got so bad my uncle ended up losing his wife, she divorced him just to get away from that nagging old woman.

Not a mother myself, but I've heard it can be difficult sharing your new baby with all the different people, when that little person is yours exclusively. I can understand where you're coming from, but try to look at it from the new mommy's perspective too.

This, and it IS true that when the baby is born the mother sometimes gets no sympathy. My dad happened to be an asshole in the way that he dumped all the work on my mom but only came to cuddle and play with me when I was born. Of course she wants at least SOME sort of a "oh, congratulations" or something, especially if those people are gonna coo at the kid and then leave her to take care of it herself.

It usually goes "aww, what a cute baby! Well, I gotta go" and then those are gonna be the same people who criticize your parenting style. I don't think it's jealousy, is all, this coming from another EEuropean bydlo whose little sister just gave birth. The mother becomes the child's servant and no one even says "good job" or anything, they just coo at the baby and criticize her, then leave.

Cardio + calistenics. I was intending to gain weight... i lost it, at least i lost the little flab i had, so now im on a weight gain regiment.

My workout was calisthenics without a lot of break. So it was mostly endurace and not pushing heavy weights. It helped with definition, but didnt blow up my muscles like real weight training would.

Shit, i'm sorry to hear what happened to you anon. The fact they won't accept your choices is bad enough, but with that reasoning behind it, that's just sick.

My story, though it doesn't compare to yours.

I'm 21, and i've known for years that I don't want a child. My family (except my mum) pull the same shit.

My 16 year old sister wants a baby. No 'but you're young you don't know what you want' or 'you'll change your mind someday'

I know the majority of people have kids, but why can't you accept that a growing number of us don't? Times are changing. Yes nan, back in the war times everyone had a kid, because it was a requirement of you. Let's not forget that people still have kids because they feel they should have them, or it makes them less of a woman. Or how many don't want a kids, but get pregnant and end up keeping it.

My own mum admitted she only had me because of society's pressure. She admitted that if she could turn back time, she wouldn't have had kids, as she had to sacrifice her education. It's not that she doesn't love us, she always did.

One of my family friends never wanted kids, and when she got pregnant she was going to have an abortion. The father and my dad both guilt tripped her into keeping it. The father left her when it was born. She hates the baby, and she's severely depressed. She regrets letting two people dictate how she should lead her life. She wants to put it up for adoption, but she lives on the same farm as her dad, and she fears he'd kick her out of her home if she did. She's had to quit her main job, and give up her horses as she no longer had time for them. That fucked her up big time.

She refers to the child as 'it'. It's a boy, he's name's Jack. She'd never hurt him, but she has no love for him, and she doesn't want him. She knows she's now set up for a lifetime of being this kid's mother, and she can't cope with it. She has admitted that killing herself feels like the best option for her now.

15 years older than me...I'm really attracted by him, I feel like it could work between the two of us. He want to be with someone calm to try and stay away from his party life (he is in a rock band and also work in luxe industry, already stopped hard drugs but still hangs out a lot), I want a stable relationship. He wants someone to love and spoil, I want a grown up man and a good lover. He wants someone to travel with, I want to see the world.
I'm really into j-fashion, usually lolita, and he likes it a lot. I'm sure he is the kind of men who showers his gf in brand. I'm not really interested by that thought, i'm not a gold digger or anything, don't want his money.

I'm really really attracted by him, and besides his age everything is perfectly ok, but still. I'm going to study abroad in a few years, and I don't plan of maintaining a long distance relationship while I'm over there. But as a 33 yo he may want to settle down and have a familly life and such. I know he will, in fact, he hinted that. But I'm not ready for this.
Plus I worry about my parents reaction about this (I don't plan on talking about him yet, but will have to do it one day).

I know I shouldn't overthink that but...I just want a nice boyfriend in a long-lastig and balanced relationship. I don't want it to fail.

I'm sure you're a nice girl with a good head on your shoulders, but men like this RARELY have honorable intentions. They chase after younger girls because they know exactly that you're going through a vulnerable time in your life where you can be manipulated (like hanging the choice of 'love' over your study abroad program in front of your face and expecting you to side, for instance).

At least Catholics acknowledge that science can do its own thang, but god help you if you dare question the bible's veracity in an evangelical Christian group.

What's worse is that I'm surrounded by these people, and I'm doing a health degree, and so are they. It scares me that young impressionable people are doubting 'secular education' even as they're shelling tens of thousands a year for this education.

I keep wavering on whether or not to quit cosplaying. I've seriously thought about quitting many times over the past several years - usually after getting frustrated on a particular project or seeing a particularly unflattering photo of myself at a convention. I've grown apart from one group of cosplay friends - I see them all bandwagon-ing on whatever Flavor of the Month is popular and I can't be that type of fan. Because I don't switch my fandom every couple of months I get left out of inside jokes and no one talks to me. Making costumes and going to cons is pretty expensive, and the majority of the time the panels and guests are not explicitly worth it. And although I love entering the contests, those end up being a pain in the ass. I always get on the verge of quitting it all together, but then I think that cosplay is one of the only things that is really part of my identity. I have my boyfriend and my work, but cosplay is something helps define me. Without it, I think I'd lose a big part of who I am. I don't have "special snowflake" syndrome or anything, but I think I'd be miserable and bored without cosplay as an outlet - however frustrating and emotionally draining as it can be at times.

That and at this point I lie about my weight to make myself seem heavier because my family really disapproves, telling me I'm anorexic and making fun of me. Healthy weight range charts and BMI tells me I'm underweight, but at 110 I was normal, but an ugly fucking meatball. I eat like 800-1000 calories a day, always counting and when I started, I knew it wasn't much but I rationalized it to work since I'm so short, didn't weigh too much to begin with, just wanted to be the standard skinny Asian, and don't carry ANY of the extra weight in my chest or ass or anywhere the average woman should. Flat chest, flat ass, I would have embraced these for crossplay if it wasn't for the fact that I'm so short. All of my weight clings to my waist, it's disgusting and I look like a little manlet. With the weigh loss, my waist is more defined and I actually feel nice, though even at 95 pounds I still have a bit of a gut . I've read that 1200 is the magic number for all adults and anything less than that is always always bad and will do damage to your body in the long run and now I'm afraid my bodily functions are screwed up or something. I know I'm going to back to bump up my caloric intake but I Also feel like I'm not going to be very happy with my body anymore.

That's funny. Polish person living in Poland here and I've never in my live heard the "god has a plan for you" thing. Not even once. It's more often "that's shit but LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY PROBLEMS THEY ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOURS"

To be honest, pulling "god's plan" card isn't really catholic thing to do; from theological point of view it's dangerously close to the doctrine of predestination.

I'm going through that too. A lot of the same problem as you, but my big problem is the rise of the 'cosplay slutty for attention' thing.

I'm majoring in translation and one of my books derailed into a major fucking SJW shitfest, I can't even believe it's happening.

But not anymore, if anything it's pretty much 60/40 in women's favor now, at least where I live. But the shit they spew is nuts.
It has le gems such as: "feminist translation theory", "feminist translators who emphasize their identity and personal views" (that makes you an attention whoring tumblrtard because your job is literally to translate what the writer said and wanted to say objectively, without bias and without inserting your opinions and ideologies into the text), and "the feminist translator flaunts her power and the signs of her manipulation of the text".

I understand you perfectly (same height and similar weight) and I felt shit for years. I also used to try cutting on food etc. never had good results and always got shit from friends who didn't understand why I felt fat/ugly (I look good with clothes on, but in a bikini you will see my belly!). I read up about being "skinny fat". I joined a gym and started lifting weights. After a couple of months I have lost the inches I wanted in my waist and thighs, even though I have gained weight back to a healthy level (you get leaner = more muscle weight but less body fat).

I think you should definitely increase the calories you eat in a day to 1100-1200, and focus on exercising. Nothing drastic, just three times a week or so (at least to start). You could even take up something like martial arts or dance, since just showing up at a gym can feel like a chore.

Okay, there has to be another reason why you need to drink so heavily. When I was at the height of my benzo addiction, I thought the reason I was abusing was because of some bullshit external reason like not being good enough. The substance abuse goes deeper. Found out I was self-medicating due to an undiagnosed case of bipolar. Until you find out what's really cause this other than "being surrounded by feminists at home" you're gonna become a full blown alcoholic and alcohol will be the most important thing in your life.

But even still, if you're a male, you're going to be measured and judged. Everybody I know as well as myself scan the gym between sets, just judging people's form, strength:weight ratio, general aesthetics, etc. Nobody is not formulating an opinion of you, especially if you're female.

You don't even need to go to the doctor to get it. You can find it in the face wash aisle.

There are two brands I know of: Panoxyl and Oxy. Just look closely at labels for the 10% Benzoyl peroxide, and you WILL find it eventually. I even have a back scrubber that I use to put it on my back because ew bacne.

I suggest Panoxyl over Oxy just because it's a thicker soap that goes a long way while the Oxy I have is not too sudsy, so I have to use more, and I ran out of it really fast. Panoxyl also has bars of soap available if you like that. Make sure to use a really good moisturizer and moisturize EVERY time you wash your face with it because it really strips your face of oil.

While I'm at it, does anyone have recommendations for the scarecrow cosplay mentioned >>7423276 ? I don't want to end up looking like >>7423277 and especially with that mask once I do attempt to hroo hraa it up.

As a girl who goes to the gym fairly regularly to train for a law enforcement program in college, I know these feels. I put off going to the gym for years when I was in a different program. I only really started going now that I'm in a program where you have to work out or you'll fail overall. Having a more experienced gym buddy helped a lot because I learned from what they were doing and didn't feel as self-conscious. I go to the gym alone now since our schedules don't line up.

>tfw no kawaii lolita gf T_T

>> No.7425658

My bf doesn't understand why I care about other photographers taking photos of my cosplays.
He has a really expensive camera and takes pictures of my cosplays, but his shots are pretty bad.
Unlike more skilled photographers, he won't tell me how to pose or take dynamic shots. They're boring and plain. He doesn't tell me things like "move your arm over there, it's covering your cosplay too much", and doesn't even inform me that my bangs look bad or something on my cosplay is falling or whatever, which is a quick fix.
When I complain that a certain angle makes me look bad or the photos make me look bad, he says "you look beautiful, don't worry" which is certainly sweet and endearing, but at the same time kind of annoying.
Most of the pictures he takes of me turn out badly.
I want to tell him "you're a bad photographer", but I know he'll just get really depressed.

I've been really depressed recently and have been considering selling off most of my small (~15 piece) wardrobe. While I love the fashion, I rarely have the opportunity to wear my dresses out, and as a student, I don't have the budget to participate in the way that I would like. As of now, I obsessively check secondhand shops, the comm sales, and japanese auction sites to an unhealthy degree, and I think that stepping away from the fashion for a while while I sort out my life would help me decompress.
I feel stupid for *leaving lolita* when I've only been in the fashion for a year or so, though, and I'm worried that I will end up regretting selling my things.

antidepressants can help fix your mood, and from there it helps you manage other stuff. pot can help depending on the person but antidepressants are an excellent long-term solution once you find the right one. i'm on wellbutrin right now and i feel better than i did before. it's still a struggle but not nearly as horrible as it used to be. i have good days and bad days like a normal human being and that's a huge step. hopefully you can figure something out too.

He had a few 'hits' with his former band some years ago, people reconized him in the street and such (something like ten years ago, I was too young, can't remember it but the music sounds pretty familiar).

You dont need no shitty gym to get fit as fuck. The biggest investments would have to be a bar to do pullups and maybe weights.

Skiprope and running and exercise without machines beats everything for getting fit.

But you have to sweat. And im not talking the oh this was tough, i feel some sweat pearls forming on my forehead. Im talking about niagara falls of sweat when you can barely breathe and you still squeeze out a bit more.

In fact their is another girl in my comm who is a "fangirl" of him, so I didn't even mention meeting him at all.
I regret ot giving him my mail at least, but yes, it wasn't a good idea anyway I guess.

Here's the thing: you don't need to get an apartment all your own to move out. A lot of people move into an existing household with roommates, rather than get an apartment, because it's cheaper.

I live near a university, and there are big old houses in my neighborhood that have been converted to rooming houses--each tenant gets a bedroom with a lock on the door, and the kitchen and baths are shared. Cheaper than an apartment, and the landlords are often more willing to take a risk on a n00b renter with no history.

Getting an apartment and buying the basic stuff to furnish it is expensive as hell for someone just leaving home. But an apartment of one's own is not the only option for moving out--there are less expensive ways to do it.

Different Anon, but there's not a lot of places like that around where I live. It's either dorm, apartment, parents' home, or on the street.

Aw, I was going to guess GoT but it's not a British show so I didn't.

Do you have mutual friends with him or something?

Not a British show but a lot of British actors, yes.
No, not really. It's a little bit complicated, but let's say that an acquaintance of mine invited me to a party where he happened to be thanks to his friends. I knew like three person in the all place.

Because most girls they meet will be like you. Idolising/throwing themselves at them because they are good looking and are starting to be successful/well known. Ofc I am generalising, but still, its pretty pathetic to watch.

>>7427379
Also, how hard was it to say GoT instead of high jacking the whole thread? It just makes looks like you think its something super special, when, in reality, if you live in London for example, you come across A LOT of well known people just by walking around *shrug*

If I were you I would change your angle of approach. But good luck with your crush anon!

Talk is the cheapest shit there is; action actually takes work.

Whenever there is a gap between what someone says and what they do, and you need to make a decision, base it on their actions--because that's the real indicator of their intentions. Bosses, partners, family, friends--it's all the same. What they say is irrelevant; what they do is everything.

Your boyfriend is using you for sex, but doesn't love you. I'm sorry; that's a shitty place to be. You deserve better, anon--ditch his ass and move on.

Dump his sorry ass. Also new rule for you, never give head if he isn't willing to eat you out. I keep a 4:1 ratio of eat:blow with my baby, he certainly appreciates it more.

4:1, bitch you cray? That better include foreplay/sexytime and not just randoms. 2:1 maybe, but I guess he really really likes eating you out.
Tru dat on the tit/tat shit though. Might as well wake him up by queening.

Pot isnt for everyone and does not help everyone the same.

Its also a shitty way to self medicate depression because it does not really help the issues that caused the depression unless you are really willing to work to fix them, and pot makes it harder to start fixing things.
