I love lolita because it makes me feel powerful. I'm a pretty small girl, but I put on a big dress and here I am, ready to fucking deal with anything, bring it on (except if it involves mud). I have to impress people tonight. I am going to wear Moitie to do it. An all-black co-ord with silver embellishments, I reckon.

And - it underscores that I am not "one of the lads". You assume that because I'm a girl who wants to work with you on this thing rather than sucking your dick I'm one of you? I don't want anything to do with your shitty lad culture. Fuck off.

I love lolita armour so much.

>big thighs, wide hips

I know this feel so well. People told me to do squatz but that did nothing for my ass and just made my thighs bigger. I'm already underweight so losing more weight won't help either. I need to develop some way to make sure people only ever see me from the front.

I love cosplay and wanna cosplay more with people but the people in my area who I've made friends with are turning out to be total weebs and excruciatingly embarrassing to go out in public with. I wanna go cosplay with people but I can't bring myself to go to any of the meets because they're so cringy and awful so I wind up having to rely on my internet cosplay friends and video cosplay calls...

>squats make your ass bigger!
I hate how people suggest this. Squats barely work your glutes as opposed to your quads. What you really need to do are bent leg, single leg hyperextensions. They work your glutes like mad. You could also try stiff legged deadlifts, lunges, glute bridges, donkey kicks, etc.

Those will give you much better glute work than high back squats. Also try substituting with front squats.

Part of me wants to just drop her now that I see how very different we've become, and part of me keeps trying to hold out until we finish the duet cosplays we have planned because she fits so perfectly. She's got a new group of friends (all under 21) who she's all about these days, so I'm sort of hoping she'll just kind of forget about me except when we plan to meet up at cons or something.

Ignore her now, anon. I wouldn't make any counter posts against her but when people see you vs her they'll realize that you're not some evil witch and that she's just delusional/making things up for attention. She thinks you're bffs but also made up stories about you ATTACKING her and triggering her FFS. That's all kinds of messed up.

Do like 10 squats and 10 situps every day.

Would wearing long sleeves help you to allow your wounds to heal and discourage you from cutting, maybe? I know some people try different techniques to recover from self-harm, like resisting using a cutting tool and choosing to use a skin-safe marker on themselves as a substitute if they feel the urge.

I'm sorry to hear you had that experience. Hang in there anon.

Did your parents go to college? I see a lot of parents who feel that way if their kids drop out, even though they never went themselves and have no understanding of the stress involved.

Either way, glad to hear that you're motivated and giving it another shot. I'd recommend giving summer/winter courses a look if they're available. They helped me a lot after the first semester when I had a difficult time balancing 6 classes.

There's a massive gulf between wanting preferential treatment and keeping someone from farting around you. I'm not saying they're necessarily in the right about lolita armor but if wearing a skirt stops someone from farting in front of me then so be it, jfc. That's just shit manners in the first place, go do that shit in a bathroom or in the privacy of your own home, not in a shared space.

Everyone in my comm is getting fatter and more tumblr by the minute. It's becoming more and more noticeable that meets are now being planned are just non-stop eating events with minimal amounts of movement.

Even nice ideas like a wine/cheese tour or chocolate tastings are being passed up for the same old all-you-can-eat buffet w/ bubble tea and dessert held 3 stores down.

I really need to vent. I am so annoyed at this one friend I had because all she does is talk about her depression and how hard her life is and how she "just can't take it anymore."

She is has an eating disorder, depression, BPD, and PTSD. I've never been diagnosed with anything, but I want to say that I do have depression, and perhaps an eating disorder (I don't like admitting these things) so yeah I do know where she's coming from. She needs to let out feelings and talk about stuff. But I swear, for the 3 years I've known her, I can't think of a single conversation where if I asked "how are you" it was replied with good, fine, or even something simple. Without doubt, it's always "Ugh.. so and so said this and was mean, and such and such happened."

"good luck with work, hope it gets better!" "it will never get better, but as time passes, i will grow stronger."

It's like she's trying to be a tragic character thats all deep and it just irritates me. She refers to herself as "broken girl" or "fragile flower with thorns" and fucking shit like that.

The choices she's made over the 3 years I've known her have just been so fucking stupid that I'm baffled at how she just doesn't learn.

Granted a lot of these feelings could just be because I'm insecure and jealous?I do think she is cute, and she is shorter, and more petite than I am, and has a way better fashion sense. She gets quite a bit of attention because she gives off a naive innocent air, but man is she a train wreck. Like I mentioned before, I don't like admitting and talking about my feelings so maybe I'm just really fucking annoyed at how she talks about all her struggles so nonchalantly.

tldr; annoyed at a friend cuz of reasons

She has bpd, why are you surprised?
Borderline basically means this person is a self sabotaging dramallama who loves attention, hence why they love to let everyone know about their problems and tend to overshare. They also love being the victim and the persecutor in the Karpman triangle and if you play into that they'll take you for a ride until you snap and then they'll be like bawwww even my friends don't like me any more. You have to set some limits, because the more attention you give them in that drama triangle way the more they feed on it

Yeah, and I bet she initially told you what an awesome friend you were blahblahblah everyone else is so mean etc. Basically tell her you're having a hard time, can't cope with her problems and yours as well, and that you need your own time/space to sort stuff out and you'll know she will understand that you find it hard since she has problems too...She will probably then start yammering on about HER problems being bigger than yours, so say something like you don't feel like you can be a supportive enough friend right now and bugger the hell off.

Out of curiosity, does she listen to anything you talk about? I know you admitted that you don't really talk about your own stuff, but friendship's a two way street. You're annoyed because all she's been doing is taking without any giving.

1) she's talking out of her ass and definitely doesn't have all or likely any of those mental illnesses. How old is she? People can be annoying twats even in their 20s.
She sounds like an annoying weeaboo tumblrfag who is making shit up to sound ~tortured~ and interesting just like her Vietnamese finger-paintings. I've recently seen a surge in such behaviour by Sherlock fangirls who fetishise thes main character's douchebaggery and assburgers (as well as Moriarty's).

Just know that some of those disorders are very rare and if she had them she wouldn't just be annoying, she'd be annoying and engaging in risky behaviour.

I'd suggest you stop listening to her and enabling her. As a teenager I was similarly sulky and bratty but what really helps is to stop feeding it. Instead of "oh you poor bb" tell her to suck it up or "oh well, that's life". At least if she doesn't get the hint and go away she'll be complaining less.

She's 20. I'm not defending her and I agree she is exactly like those fragiletumblrgirlss~. But she does have a history of risky/dangerous stupid behaviour. She is the youngest child of three daughters, and the family has always been a bit dysfunctional.

Can you explain the word enabling please? I've tried to stop going "aww" and instead be a bit more blunt, but kinda in a clueless way? I'm very bad at confrontation. Maybe more like passive aggressiveness.

I just don't get how can she be such a fucking child after so much bad shit and traumatic stuff has happened? (according to her anyway, because i'm really starting to doubt her stories) I was also pretty sulky and moody, but i knew people got fed up with that shit, so I tried to improve myself.

That reminds me, friend (i'll refer to her as D) comes running to me when people dont give her a nice response. Like she went to a lolita meet with me one time, and when she gave a girl a compliment about how young she looked, the girl said "uh, thats kinda weird but thanks"

and apparently that was her being mean, so D had a panic attack and wanted to leave.

another time D was telling a different friend something about how she had a bad time at a party, and the friend replied "oh that sucks!" and apparently that was her not caring????

Well, that's completely shit that she doesn't listen to you. I knew someone who was similar in the sense that she'd constantly complain about how shitty her life was but at the least she listened to me.

Eventually I didn't talk to her as much because I was sick of how she made everything negative but still considered her a friend (I gave her rides to and from the airport whenever she visited the city even when she was staying with other people, let her stay at my place, etc. despite minimal communication) until she removed me from all her networks the day right after my cat of 20 years died.

So really, you should just drop her before you expend a ton of energy and she drops you anyway.

That's because it likely hasn't happened. Enabling means feeding and encouraging someone's negative behaviour, for example when I acted like a prat my friend would be really blunt and tell me "oh again with the negativity!" or "yes, yes, how tragic". That isn't enabling, and I suggest you do something similar.

She is just 20 though, and some people mature later than others. I started getting out of my sad emo child phase when I was about 17-18. If she's a tumblrfag it'd be good for her to leave her snowflake friend circle behind, that place is like a sect and it drags people in deeper and deeper.
In a nutshell as soon as she realises she's behaving like an autistic she'll start changing. If not, time to leave her be.

Look, if she really wants to off herself she wouldn't threaten you with it, she'd just do it. Suicide attempts rarely succeed if someone knows it's going to happen. Stop feeling guilty, and call a professional to deal with the suicide threats part of it. You should never be the one dealing with/responsible for those things, if she's threatening that then your only responsibility is to call for help because clearly you aren't the go to suicide prevention person in your town.
I have a friend who has mixed anxiety-depression, and when it relapses she struggles with panic attacks/feeling like she doesn't deserve help. As part of keeping our friendship about being friends rather than me being her care worker,we've agreed that I can just call or email her actual mental health team rather than dealing with it by myself and worrying once I leave her alone because I'm the only one she'll talk to. Yes, I listen as well, but I'm not ultimately responsible for her entire well-being so there's less power imbalance/drama triangle bullshit.

You're assuming a lot of things there m8.
I have told them that I don't appreciate hearing stories from near-strangers about how they got drunk and vomited on the floor and then slept with some chick. They either called me a prude or thought I was jealous of the girl they slept with and started hitting on ME. When I'm dressed normally dudebros always assume that I'll appreciate their dick jokes and comings-on and telling them no makes the whole thing uncomfortable. When I'm dressed in lolita (and presumably remind them of their grandma or some shit) they behave far more respectfully and I don't have to ask for basic manners.

Obviously the solution to this is to avoid these guys but that's not always possible. When I cannot avoid them I make sure they treat me the way I want them to. If that makes me a bitch and a prude then so be it, I'm happier for it.

I had super strong sharp pains around the same place.
Turns out I had bone sarcoma near the spinal cord (which pressured the nerves) which was the reason I had spiking pain.
It took me five doctors to diagnose it though since we hadn't noticed the tumour lump on my back growing. All the doctors thought it was period pain or a pulled muscle initally since we didn't see the lump.
Ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan. Boom! Cancer!

If they had found my tumour any later, I would have lost the ability to walk because when I got admitted to hospital for the MRI scan to confirm it is a tumour, I had begun to lose feeling in my big toe.

As someone who has clinically diagnosed GAD, hearing these stories of people using anxiety to justify their shit behavior kind of irks me. Yeah, it's an extremely stressful condition to have. Yeah, it makes me VERY irrational and sometimes I do feel very helpless/disoriented but I also have social skills and understand how to interact with people. I know not to whine about my problems to everyone without listening to their stories, and I certainly don't baww loudly about my disorder to everyone in my comm. Actually, nobody in my comm knows that I have anxiety because I never had a panic attack in front of them, so it doesn't need to be said. It really sounds like a case of self-diagnosed mental health issues in order to seem more pathetic and therefore more "oppressed" by others. Peak tumblr move.

As someone who suffers from bpd it makes me really worried every time I read about people having these kinds of issues with people with the same diagnosis.

I really don't want to be THAT person, so I always try to keep myself low and not make too much noise about my issues unless I feel overwhelmed and don't know where to turn. And I don't like having people do anything against their own will so I don't really think myself as manipulative (I feel demanding even when I ask for a favor)

Personality disorders are different for different people it, while some are introverts others are extroverts.
They also depend on if you have other personality disorders or diagnoses that play out certain traits.
It doesn't take a genius to understand each and every person have different brains and personalities

I had gastritis and it takes quite a bit of tweaking to your diet to make it diminish or go away, like you said. No tomatoes or other citrus fruit, cut back on coffee and dairy, no spicy food, etc. Omeprozale helps a lot, too. It sucks but every time it flares up, you just gotta do it.

Seconded. I have a friend who has really bad gastritis but no particular reason to have it so bad (doesn't drink that much alcohol or coffee, doesn't run in the family, doesn't like spicy foods). Since it was so bad they did a bunch of tests to check for ulcers and the bacteria that can cause it, she didn't end up having an ulcer or that bug but apparently they said to her the damage from the gastritis looked like she had swallowed broken glass. Basically she has to be really careful with what she eats and drinks AND be on meds. So it's like... no fizzy, coffee, dairy, alcohol, spice, acidic fruits, even some sweets...

No it's not, people with BPD aren't conscious in their behaviours at all.

That anon clearly does not have it. BPD is similar to narcissism in that the person with the disorder thinks that what they are doing is normal and that anyone who disagrees is abnormal. Even with therapy it's almost impossible to control yourself.

Yeah, at least it stays under control with that combo though! I reckon it would suck more to make all the effort and then STILL have it... It's really strange cos it only started in her 20s. The even bigger irony is that her dad is a gastroenterologist, so I think they might have treated her for the gastric ulcer bug even though they never confirmed it just because her symptoms were so bad.

I'm a sensitive type, he probably figures that 'i forgot' is much better than 'i'm dead tired and want to take a nap.' He's completely interested in me but since we're both introverts I understand. I get really excited and hyper around him and it's mentally taxing for him sometimes.

She knows you'll freeze and give in. It's why she does it. My gf did it to me, and after we broke up bragged in a car full of our mutual friends that she threatened suicide or self-harm when she didn't think I was giving her enough attention.

Like the other anon said, if she was going to kill herself she would have. And even if she does, it's not going to be your fault that she's insane.

This talk reminds me of a friend I used to have. She was/is really depressed, and she's trying really hard to be better that's good. But she's been trying for so long to get out and have fun and such, but she's so fucking sensitive+has weirdly bad luck, that every time we'd try to hang out or do something, her mom texts her that the cat may have cancer or her boyfriend sends something douchey or she begins to feel overwhelmed and excluded and loses it. And she never makes a big deal about it, but she makes up an excuse to go home early or just decides to go be alone somewhere. I guess that's a good way to deal with it, but even though she's not bothering me, I get worried and upset and end up not having too much fun. We don't really talk anymore, because we can't really find anything to talk about, she doesn't want to go anywhere. She's almost 21 now, but she dropped out of high school and can't find a job and can't keep up with other sorts of education. It's been maybe 6 months since I even texted her.
There's the "welcome to my twisted mind" fags, but it pains me to see her try so hard and just not be able to do the things we used to do when it wasn't so bad.

Quick! Block her Instagram so you aren't tempted to look. Call a makeup store or some savvy friends and schedule a makeover. Start jogging. Buy a cute new outfit.

Not on topic at all, really. I joined tumblr for outfit posting reasons and discovered a world of crazy ... just batshit insane feminazis and "SJWs". I saw this one girl claiming she was part tree, blogs dedicated to taking pictures of dudes sitting on public transport (it apparently was something about them being misogynistic by taking up sitting space or something), blogs dedicated to promoting hate speech against white people (and claiming that its impossible to be racist towards a white person), people equating wearing chopsticks in your hair to racism and cultural appropriation, etc. I honest to god believed that most of those people were trolls or it was some sort of inside joke when they talked about killing all men. Having gone to /pol/ a few times I was used to seeing controversial opinions from trolls so I figured that the same thing was going on there and it was just a massive inside joke where those people came up with ridiculous situations and acted them out.
But, no. I found some videos on a different blog of the "SJW" in action.. Those people are, for the most part, ALL REAL. It legit made me cry for half an hour (It isn't even my time of the month), knowing that so much hate and intolerance can exist in a real life (not troll) setting. I do not want to share the earth with those people. I dont even... I legit thought they were trolls. I didn't realise those levels of stupidity could exist in real life.
And now Im crying again.

I don't know when my wigs started becoming her wigs to play with and possibly ruin. I've only worn the blonde wig once and it's the only blonde wig I have so I think I can definitely get another use out of it. Notice how she never asks if she can borrow them...she just says "oh I can use it for this!"

It'd be another story if she was really pressed for time like if an upcoming con was coming up, she had her whole cos ready and was super excited for it but the wig she had ordered hadn't arrived. But uh it's literally random characters she just wants to do on the whim because there would be a free wig to use.

I'm also a bit of a germaphobe...which I think she has an inkling of. Meaning if I lent her my wig I wouldn't ever rewear it.

Tell her next time if she wants to use it she can buy it off you, and charge what you paid for it/what it'll take to get a new one. If she complains, point her towards eBay and tell her to get her own damn wigs. Hopefully that'll put an end to her being such a brat.

I'm also on tumblr for outfit posting reasons and have still only ever seen crazy SJW posts in 4chan threads making fun of them. What tags are you using? I just use a bunch of burando and style tags and the crazies are super easy to avoid. If one of them targets you for whatever reason (unlikely if you just keep to yourself) you can just ignore them and they'll go away.
In my case maybe it helps that I discovered /b/ (and met some actual /b/-tards irl) when I was like 13 and got pretty desensitized to retarded hateful bullshit no matter which end of the spectrum. I just tell myself that these people will either change their tune eventually or be absolutely miserable forever.

Honestly I used to think the same thing, but came to a similar realization. I also realize that tumblr, unlike /pol/ is full of a lot of stupid impressionable teenaged/sheltered girls looking to be validated. And honestly even if many people are trolls, the ones who aren't will look to troll blogs for a sense of validation.

I used to not mind fat cosplayers or fat lolitas until a friend of mine became a chubby chaser. He started spamming tumblr with pictures of fat girl nudes and outfit posts (one of which was a girl from the Philly lolita community). I started to get uncomfortable at the sight of his posts to the point where I had to filter him out.

I feel twice as bad because I became one of those "fatty haters"

Sounds more like you were uncomfortable seeing his fap material on your dash and knowing why he was reblogging certain things. There's nothing wrong with having a preference and nothing wrong with finding certain body types unattractive. I don't think fat people are attractive but I don't care what they wear. But I would be really uncomfortable seeing a friend reblog a fat lolita knowing he was just using it as wank material.

Please just talk to him. Once you're together the memories of the circumstances that brought you together will be fond ones no matter how stupid they sound.

If he likes you back to reciprocate he'll appreciate you approaching. The world tells us that girls cant approach guys and guys are spineless if they don't do it first. But this same world tells us guys from birth that we're never good enough for her and never good enough in general. The doubt is strong and ubiquitous and one cant really blame a guy for not approaching.

You like him, so he obviously is good enough. Even if it doesn't work out you should tell him. At least then you'll always be a happy memory instead of merely forgotten.

Just think, if he actually does like you he could be stressing out just as hard and keeping it to himself.

Even if he doesn't like you nothing bad will happen at all from asking him. Making a fool of yourself only hurts if you allow it to. Besides everybody's love story is foolish. Its how we frame it and if its already successful that makes people think its not.

the convention was real crowded and there was a lot of bumping....admittedly my craftsmanship wasn't the best, it looked decent on the outside but wasn't solidly constructed on the inside. learning through mistakes, etc...the cosplay was pic related. all the armor was made of regular ol craft foam (several layers of modpodge and acrylic paint). for the front & back pieces i used wire on the inside to reinforce the shape, but i was dumb and didn't realize that the point where the two ends of the wire met would cause a sort of pinching point in the foam. so that happened, and the paint and stuff cracked all over there, and the shape got pretty warped.
i couldn't figure out how to attach this pauldron in a sturdy way. see how it kind of floats like that, instead of sitting on the shoulder? what i did was make the pauldron shape, then attach the bottom end of each pauldron to the corner of the inside of the back and front armor pieces. dumb idea again, because the pressure from the inside made the corners of the armor bend badly, then it wrinkled and the paint cracked and all that bad stuff. the pauldron was a moderately thin and flexible shape btw.
the kneepads did not fair well either. they were made of foam like the rest of the armor, with a velcro strap to attach them. i was sure to make them a bit dome-shaped for mobility, but the straps just kept slipping down all day and the pieces had popped off of the straps by the end of the day. couldn't find any good guides to making kneepads like that beforehand so i had just winged it.
worth noting: most of this was done with hot glue! not the best idea, haha.

my budget was around ~$50 iirc. would definitely set aside more money if i were to redo it.

The secret to armor is velcro. In the future, you want to have one side of the velcro on the inner armor and the other on the garments you are wearing underneath. More points of contact will mean it's less likely to rotate. Tighter clothes are better for this, but additional security straps can be concealed under loose clothes - just slice two holes and run the strap around your body. To add the lift in the pauldron, you could attach small foam 'blocks' to the underside and put the velcro on them. Straps could also be attached to these points to avoid the bending.

To keep straps from moving, they should fasten around a part of your body that is narrower than whatever's directly below (your waist, between the knee/calf or shoulder/bicep). It will be less inclined to slide down that way. Velcro or a second strap will keep the weird angles down. Ex. if you put a strap on the lower portion of the kneepad, the top will flap around when you walk. Putting some velcro on the knee, above the strap, will keep it tight to your body.

A little sanding can get rid of the creases in the paint if you want to try salvaging anything. Repaint and sand a bit more if the seams show. Think of it as battle-worn now.

That sucks anon, but at least you've learnt what you can improve on for future costumes! Armour finishing and attachment are really important, especially if you need it to be durable in a crowd like that. Could you possibly resurface and paint some of the pieces with something sturdier on top in time for the con?

i actually used velcro for all of the straps attaching the front and back armor pieces, that worked fine. i didn't even think of putting velcro on the undershirt itself (good idea), but i dont think i'd be able to do that since i need to show the straps holding the armor pieces together. plus, i didn't have a problem with the torso pieces moving around, so i wouldn't really need to anyway. the problems were mostly just with the pauldron and the wire.
i used the foam block method for the armguard, since it floats like that, and it worked fine. the pauldron is too big to do that, though. there's a lot of space between the shoulder and the highest point of the pauldron since it's arched. you can sort of see it in the photo i have (tentatively) attached (sorry i'm such a noodle).

good stuff though, thanks for the tips. much appreciated. i'll keep all of it in mind if/when i redo the damaged pieces.

>>7869931
thanks dude. true, true, i learned a lot with my first cosplay and i'll use that to make future ones better. i think i did pretty ok given the circumstances haha. dont think i'd be able to resurface since the shape of the foam in that particular area though, the shape of the foam itself in that small area is out of whack, and its going to be really hard to separate the wire from the foam on the inside to stop the pinching. but once i revisit it i'll see what i can do.

You're the best, anon. I figured what would be the difference if I said it now or later? So I just sent a real quick "I love you, feel better" casual message since he was feeling down. Now I'm going to be too nervous to check what/if he sends back...

Having them angry feels tonight seagulls. Had someone tell me I'm just an empty headed pretty face today. Meanwhile, I just graduated from a top 20 school this past spring, and I draft all my own patterns for my costumes, as well as making everything I wear and all of my props. And playing an instrument. And being accomplished in my field.
But no, I'm moderately attractive so that's all meaningless. Obviously a very elaborate act to cover my true colors as a dumb pretty bimbo.

There's a relatively popular cosplayer in my area that has won a ridiculous amount of contests even though her costumes are always terrible. She keeps winning and placing because the judges are her friends, but if you mention this, you'll be silenced to death and mocked by her white knights. Even when you talk about her here in cgl her friends will defend her with the tired old "you're just jelly" arguments. Or the always basic "well her costumes might not be that good but she's such a sweetie!".

Not only is this a mockery of a fair competition, but this chick is dumb as fuck and an annoying, self-centered bitch. She keeps up the "I'm so sweet and nice" facade, but since I know her well, I see right through it. She's extremely catty and an impenitent social climber who's gotten where she is by naming names and licking asses.

It's driving me insane. I'm not the only one who hates her, but we share a good amount of friends and I always feel so pissed off when I see her. I wish I could just not care and feel at least indifferent towards her.

Well at least now you did it. Saying it as soon as possible is always best, unless he would die if you did or something.

On a more serious note, we don't control other peoples feelings and that's scary i know but take pride in the fact your gathered your courage to do this. You will be able to do this easier next time if there should be someone else in the future.

If only someone told me all this in the past, if only someone told me they love me.

If it makes you feel better, it's not any better when you're an unattractive girl. If you're talented but not attractive, nobody pays attention, not even to insult your intelligence. Nobody's even jealous because even though you're talented, you're not attractive. Because looks seem to be the most important part about any person.

I know, and that makes me angry too. I was the proverbial "ugly duckling." People used to make fun of me for my intelligence and that I was awkward looking, now that I've grown into my looks they tell me I'm dumb. Who fuckig. Gets treated like an actual human being?

I wish I had ever felt that way about confessing to someone... I'm the kind of person to get annoyed when someone pursues me too fast or strongly and it really holds me back conveying feelings to other people.

Really? i can respect that. Its just that most girls have told me they prefer someone who makes it clear what he wants soon. So that's why i said what i did.

Also the anon i told that to has a crush on a guy and I'm assuming its a femanon. I would think it works a bit differently for girls confessing.

Also i think i should clarify, when i say as soon as possible i mean as soon as you're sure you feel that way towards someone. Not say, i see some girl find her attractive and then tell her i love her.

Oh yeah I can understand that perspective too, I've still had just enough unwanted attention in my life that the idea of giving a premature confession makes me super anxious. To me it's ideal when two people don't have to explicitly confess in a hurry because they're already super close, but obviously it can't be that way all the time for everyone. Good luck to you and the other anon~

On the other hand, it's possible to be prejudiced or hate white people in the same way one could be prejudiced against rich people without being classist.

To add to this, white people can definitely experience racism if they visit or reside in a country where they're not the political majority.

So, yes, white people can and have experienced racism.

The biggest issue comes from people confusing the academic version of racism--which can only be experience by political and social minorities--with the more casual version, which can be experienced by anyone.

Best friends bf has no concept of fashion or style. He wears shirts that are too small for him. Over the past 4 years she's been taking his shirts under the guise of "sleep shirts" and replacing them with ones that fit him better as gifts for birthdays and holidays. Now he has a pretty nice wardrobe and can dress himself proper.
Best part was he didn't catch in until she told him.

Yeah, I don't get why the 'academic' version of racism is still different from a googled version of racism - which brings up definitions by Amnesty International and the United Nations, which are very credible sources of information - as different from a solely academic point of view.

I think it really highlights how much disconnect there is between academia and the realities this world faces. Academia thinks it can redefine words which already have a denotation and connotation very different from what they're trying to communicate. Why not just invent a new word instead of trying to revamp an old one so entrenched in our dialogue?

Not to mention that academia has shown itself to be just as hostile and closeminded to new ideas. Just see the UoT fiasco with MRAs trying to hold a fucking lecture. I'm not at all against people protesting, but the lengths that the 'feminists' went to over that incident was fairly horrifying and on a level that is starting to edge on censorship.

I managed to be such a shitty person due to major psychotic depression and failed medications, i've lost all my friends in the cosplay community.
I just gave it up altogether because I didn't want to stress people out anymore
It was the only thing that made me happy but now it's just shit
I ended up hanging out with sketchy people and got myself into drugs because the antidepressants never work no matter how many I try
I still lurk /cgl/ because I miss it so much
but in the end, I was never good at it in the first place and all I did was fuel drama
Soon I'll just become another drug overdose statistic and life will go on
