I feel like I was raped by my (ex)boyfriend.

He dumped me recently and I can't handle it. My Women's Studies professor at the University of Toronto told me that this counts as rape.

having sex with you consensually and then breaking up is not rape, and they will not take you very seriously without a rape kit/etc anyways. Especially since you were dating.

[Anonymous No.7529768]

>>7529739
It may count as rape but the fact that he's now your ex will just make it seem like your mindset went from willingness to being spiteful. Anon, take it as a future lesson in your relationships that just because you are -with- someone, it does not give them the right to force anything on you without your consent. You will not be able to change the past but you will know what to look out for in the future.

My only female friend (and friend in general) canceled the last 2 cons we were supposed to go to and now just canceled the upcoming one too. I wouldn't mind so much because I'm still going with my boyfriend and his friends but they tend to just table top game the weekend, no panels, no dances, minimal social interactions besides their group. I get lonely walking around by myself and have a hard time talking to new people. I always feel like I say stupid things and feel like a creeper if I try to hang out with a new group. I was really looking forward to hanging out with my friend as I work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day so I don't have much energy on my day off.
I also get the feeling she's avoiding me; I wanted to go out for my birthday and she never responded to my txts. Tried asking her to hang out and she hasn't responded to my txt but I can see her posting on FB and tumblr making plans with other people.

A part of me feels really triumphant and optimistic, but I'm also nervous. After so many lows and not many ups in the past three years, I'm scared that I might not get better. What if I'm a hopeless case or something? I do plan to give it my all, cause I swear I really do want to get better... I want to stop being this huge burden on my friends and family. I want to stop the self-harming, and all this pill taking, and I want to actually LIVE and feel ALIVE, but ahh what if it doesn't happen?!

Two years ago literally every day the front page was filled with at least two new posts of "hurrdurr women/jews/blacks are stupid and here's why" with 200 replies each, and a constantly bumped up pixyteri thread. /cgl/ is actually readable now, as frustrating as it is to get constantly banned for stupid stuff (like calling out trolls) I REALLY don't want the board to go back to the way it was.

/cgl/ help me out here. Is it normal to be so self conscious and socially awkward that talking to anyone at all, friends and family included, is just so stressful and you end up having nothing to say to them and just end up nodding and smiling in a probably really fake manner just to not seem rude?
I just can't seem to do it. In any situation, everyone is just a stranger to me. I can't talk to anyone without realizing I can't fucking into small talk without feeling like I sound fake as shit or annoying and stupid.

I don't even know how to deal with positive attention. I like to dress in cutesy fashion and cosplay and I get plenty of complements but I just end up awkwardly squeaking out the most inaudible thank you and then power walking away. It's really weird. My hobbies include some eye catching clothing but I can't even properly enjoy positive attention. Negative is easy, I just ignore and walk away, but you can't do that with complements. I feel like this all just goes beyond normal shyness and something is legitimately wrong with me. Should I try a professional or something? This affects me in all aspects of my life. I can't have conversations with anyone but my boyfriend. Can't go anywhere without having him speak for me. Can't get a job, too shy to ask professors questions, barely even really friends with my friends.
I don't know what to do. Seems like no one else has this problem, I'm around the most happy and social people in the world and I'm just so ugh.
I'm always told to just stop overthinking things and stop caring so much and I'm trying but I'm not getting anywhere. What else am I supposed to do?

My 'best friend' is utterly losing his shit at me?
For no reason I don't know what to do he's emotionally manipulating me after I FAILED TWO COLLEGE CLASSES TO MAKE HIS OUTFITS and didn't get MINE done in time for con. He is guilt tripping me because I have PTSD and am no longer wanting to room stuff due to the stress. He says he can't go to con as if it's my fault that I only want 4 people to a room. What the fuck he's throwing all these accusations at me saying I'm a shitty friend. Did I tell you I literally failed two classes from stress and time crunch making outfits for him and my bf.
And yet I'm selfish and using him? Help seriously he means a lot to me but his personality did a 180 as soon as we got to con a few weeks ago.

I've become very critical of cosplays, though I hardly ever vocalize it. Either of my own or of others. I see a cosplayer and my immediate thoughts are now, "okay, they could have done this part a bit better, their prop is all wrong for this", thoughts along those lines. I basically mentally nitpick at everything. Even when doing my own cosplays, I'm no longer thinking, "alright, I've done my best, this is as far as I can go with this," instead I'm thinking, "well, it doesn't matter how much effort I put into this, it still isn't good." And... I don't know it's a good thing, but sometimes I wish I could just stop. I never say it out loud or anything, just all mental assessments, but... I guess sometimes I wish I could stop thinking about that and just go, "hey, a (name of character) cosplayer, cool" to others, and "alright I think I'm set to be (name of character) for this con, this should be fine" to my own cosplays.

Most people mentally judge anyone they see, normal clothes included. Cosplay is something you're attuned to and like previous person said, once you start noticing craftsmanship, you focus on that first.

It's not necessarily a BAD thing... just something you might want to check for yourself before you ruin the hobby by being too critical of your own work.

>suffer from Temporomandibular joint disease. Joint is amazingly fine but muscles on right side of jaw are overworked. Have a mouthguard but that doesnt mean i'm pain free.
>Want to work on my new cosplay more often than i do but pain prevents me some days
>Feel horrible for just reusing alot of my older cosplays
>worried people will get sick of seeing the same thing
I know i shouldnt care about what other people think and i should just do what i can but sometimes i feel like i'm not doing enough.

It doesn't matter what you look like; you're a fucking virgin. Unless you are rich or a straight 10/10, I'm never gonna have sex with you. It's pointless.

Oh my god anon, I hope things get better for you. Try covering up those scars and going to the con in your cosplays anyway. I bet you'll make friends there, at least. Also, remember, chin-up, as people tend to avoid depressed looking individuals. Save that for when you get closer to them.

It doesn't look TOO bad considering it's my first cosplay, but I still feel like shit. On top of that, I just started learning how to sow, so I don't have the ti.e or skills to make a new one. I thought this would all be fun and games...

Everybody starts somewhere. Don't worry about it too much and try to make improvements for the future.
