It's embarrassing yet, it pisses me off so much. I was really distraught when he told me he was even lying about something so stupid that I might have just not remembered the real day he told me correctly.
This seems like nothing but, I'm already at a point where I'm breaking. I'm having more problems with other friends and just can't get my shit together. I'm fighting in my head a lot on what to do. I've kept it under control, today I don't know if I can.
I feel like I'm going to start breaking shit.

Threw some Ozz Onn stuff into a closet child order on a whim and god I love it, this shit is seriously nice. I always thought it'd be awesome to just buy j-fash instead of bothering with normalfag high street stuff that I don't really love but with the yen so low right now, I realised that's actually a viable thing to do.

Apart from for trousers. Fuck buying trousers online. Possibly just fuck buying trousers. Maybe I'll just wear skirts and tights forever now.

Don't be embarrassed, that's a weird as shit thing to lie about, and it's probably stressful to be friends with a pathological liar. You should send him birthday gifts on completely wrong days, like not even the same month, every year, and gaslight him into thinking he lied about dumb shit like "oh but you told me you LOVE [insert whatever] so I got you all of these!" like get him an industrial sized jar of some condiment he's never used and insist he told you about it and make him feel guilty for lying to you.

I really, really like salads. But I am one picky bitch about what goes in them.
Cheese, nuts, most vegetables, croutons, good shit.
But shit like apples, pears and FUCKING GRAPES need to fucking stop. Every fucking place tries to reinvent the salad to make it new and exciting and just fuck no. Give me some lettuce, tomatoes, Gorgonzola, pine nuts some meat and a drop of dressing and we are good, don't fucking fix what is not broken.

Like, I don't have a problem when I'm by myself or with a close friend who knows I'm a picky bitch and ordering whatever with just this this and this in it but at a lolita meetup I don't want to be that person with a group of strangers and it sucks.
Like, it is normal for a place to just have a fucking burger and ask you what you want on it, why is that not a thing for salads? Just like have the menu say "SALAD" and list all the fucking shit you could through in it and you fucking pick what the hell you want.
More places should have salad bars. fuck this shit, and the weird shit you put in them.

Are you me anon? You sound like me. Except I am mostly just allergic to my own sweat and tears and that shit sucks, but causes an eczema like reaction all the same. Though mostly on my fucking face because fuck you too skin lets advertize it to everyone that I had a crying fit.
ANYWAY stop over paying for coconut spray and just get pure coconut oil. Warm that shit up and mix it 50/50 with water. Keep it in a spray bottle in your shower and apply every day at the end of your shower regardless of if you are freaking out or not. maybe add more water when you are freaking out less, or in the summer. BAM.

Maybe I'm being overdramatic. But I am not even out of college yet and a quarter of my hair has lost pigment. I'll be totally white before I'm thirty. I just looked today and it's spread, and most of the right side of my head is growing in white. I wish I could do something but it's genetic. I can just hope I don't destroy my hair with toner and root touch-ups every few weeks.
It's bothering me because I'm scared my clock is ticking for lolita. I'm afraid that I'm going to look too old when my eyebrows start to go next. White hair is associated with age, I don't want people to think I'm "too old" for lolita, and all I can do is wear wigs and constantly color my eyebrows/lashes. Right when I was finally brave enough to grow out my hair and let it be thick and beautiful too...

God, I'm supposed to be in my prime youth and I'm having a fucking lolita midlife crisis.

I don't disagree, communication is best, but how would you even know when they're lying if it's about dumb stuff like their birthday? You'd likely end up confronting them over everything if they couldn't just be honest. My "advice" was mostly in jest, but eh, if OP can have fun with it instead of feeling upset or getting paranoid that their friend is lying to them constantly, fucking with him could be a better option if discussion doesn't work.

I'm sorry anon. I don't have any advice for you. But, thankfully we have a fashion where one of the main ideals is hair, even fake hair. At least you'd never have to be thought of as 'out there' for wearing a wig.

I think you should try to see if you like how you look when your hair goes white completely. Because, really, you could do some cool things with it.

That's life, we all age, some sooner than others.

I obsessed over if I looked too old for sweet lolita and felt like my time was running out. One day I woke up and stopped giving a fuck. I'm still going to age no matter how much I try to slow it down and I'll still be old no matter what I wear. I might as well do what makes me happy and stop obsessing over something I can't control.

It's white. It's lost its pigment; it runs in the family so I know it'll be looking like the thicker version of old woman hair, just like my mom's. So yeah, it's grandpa's old people hair. :(

You should look into salon treatment for platinum hair! I had mine done platinum by a salon while it was still short (just light blonde now) and I know it's a lot of money but my hair's actually healthier now than it was when I was dying it black myself despite all the bleach(well...before I started losing pigment but thats unrelated). It might take a while to work up to the color you want but salon-grade treatment by someone who's really experienced is definitely worth it, I say you go for it :)

I don't know, maybe they wouldn't.
I don't know if I can be considered a pathological liar since I only ever used to lie about one thing for a reason, but I told people I was of a different nationality for some time because I come from a country that people don't exactly have the best opinion of.
I have no idea why someone would lie about their birthday, but maybe they're insecure with their age?

/cgl/ I'm so scared. I might lose him. I don't want to go there. But he really wants to.

He's convinced that his dad will be able to help him move forward (but he won't explain what he means at all) and that it'll all get better moving there, but it's a dead zone. There's nothing in the area. The cost to drive to a town to go to work would almost nullify what we'd be able to make at work even if we could carpool, especially starting in a new place. He's just not listening to me at all.

It's just a bad idea but he's so taken with it.

I'm just so afraid that if we do that, he won't come back. Not for fear of losing him to another girl, but he wants to go because he thinks his dad will be able to help him move forward with his life. He's been stuck at his mom's for a while with not a lot of room (he's sort of stuck in the basement of a tiny house) and his parents don't seem to want to help with anything. He's 19 and his stepdad expects him to just know how shit works in the world with no guidance. In that aspect, it will be better. But I don't think he understands that he actually has to DO something to make things change, daddy can't do it for him. There are plenty of opportunities in our town if he went out and looked, he just hasn't done it.

Better than balding. I moved back with my parents because boomer-ran generation, and it was a little daunting to see how thin my mom's hair is at 50 (my dad's been having a bit of halo for a while now) while I helped her curl and attempt to cover up exposing scalp. I'm hoping that I don't end up losing a lot of my hair too soon. I'm lucky that I don't have wavy hair like my mom and brother (who started balding in his twenties), but I don't know what to expect with having straight hair like my dad.

Woah, are you me? Sort of? Definitely call HR and contact your old workplace too. I've been working at a restaurant since uni and now that I've graduated, I've decided to transfer to the one in my hometown. I'm thankful that I've gotten a lot of hours in spite of being off-season and not having my information transferred properly (still can't clock in though), but I'm kind of hating where I work at.

If they're not medicated, then plenty of brands sell nice looking gloves that you can wear in the summer time. You want short ones, maybe with cuffs.

In all seriousness though Anon, I think white/grey hair looks very elegant. If I were you I would lighten the whole thing to ease the transition, then you can start growing it out. I think short hair is more associated with age than colour. My grandmother has white hair that she keeps in a long plait (a bit like Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle) and it looks really youthful!

Pathological liars don't lie for any particular reason - they lie because they feel that they have to, for odd and often quite arbitrary reasons.

For example, there was a girl at my school who would lie about very strange things - what she had for lunch, for example. If you called her out she'd get annoyed and respond with something like 'GOD, why does it matter?! Get off my back!'

I'd say lying about where you're from for that reason is pretty legit. Americans do it all the time, or so I've heard.

I broke up with my abusive ex some time ago. Obviously I didn't want anything to do with them after that but they were pretty popular in the local cosplay scene at the time. I ended up distancing myself from all my cosplay friends in case I ran into them, and in the process kind of lost my passion for the hobby altogether.

So a few years later I'm in a stable relationship with a lovely person, and they mention maybe going to a convention since they know I like anime and stuff. They want to cosplay. I want to cosplay. Outfits sorted, passes bought, hotel booked... post on facebook in celebration.

Unfortunately, although I hadn't been in touch with my old cosplay friends, they all liked the post. They can't wait to see me again. They're all wondering what happened. They want to see me at the con. All that's fine - I missed them too - but my worry is that my ex will also be there and try to shoehorn themselves into hanging out with my and my new qt.

My friends know nothing of what went on in that awful relationship. I feel like if I tell them now, when they're all such great friends with my ex still, it'll look like I'm a bitchy ex that just wants to ruin everyone's time (which is what some of my rl friends suggested when I brought up not wanting to hang out with my ex).

I'm hoping that they'll just know to stay away - but I know if they do try to contact me at this convention then I'm likely to freak out, and my current partner will probably flip his shit too (since crazy ex had some nasty dealings with him when they first discovered we were dating).

tl;dr I need to avoid my batshit crazy ex at a small convention that they will definitely be attending without offending any mutual friends or letting the SO know that I'm that worried about it.

Just ask them to do all the tests they can - blood, urine, whatever. If you're in the UK there shouldn't be a problem, if you're in the US you're paying them to do it so they can damn well do it.

Try to avoid any hint that you might have looked up your symptoms before you go in there though. (bad) Doctors see any kind of self-diagnosis as a major red flag and they might zero in on refuting your claims.

I went to my doctor with an ear infection, told her that's what I thought it was, and got a half-hour long list of reasons it probably wasn't an ear infection. Then she checked. It was an ear infection. Duh.

I wasn't who she was hoping I'd be, she didn't get to escape her past like she thought she'd be able to when she moved across the state to live with me, work makes her miserable and physically ill, we're sexually incompatible on a mechanical level but she won't do exercises to correct that, and she's frustrated that it will take a total of 12 months (6 months in) for me to save up a down payment on a house for us to live in instead of this apartment, and she's constantly preoccupied with negative thoughts, and sexual fantasies of other men.

I've already pushed the wedding back indefinitely until everything can get sorted out (she wanted to get married when she moved in, and I asked her to wait, which cascaded into her old life catching up to her, and me being a failure in her eyes).

She's my "last shot" because I'm absolutely horrible at dating. I met her 8 years ago through a convention, and have been stumbling through failing relationships for half that time, and being bitterly alone the other half of the time. If this doesn't work, I'd rather be alone than sink effort into nothing again.

Neither of us are healthy, and neither of us are aiming for a healthy relationship. We're just trying for something stable that doesn't drive either of us insane.

B-but, this is this best I've ever done in a relationship. Out of the three times I've been asked to marry a woman, this one has been going fairly well, partially because I'm more sensitive to the issues in the relationship.

I -kind of- like Cyperous's version of the wig, but the lack of volume is absolutely horrifying and the drills would need major work. I'm thinking of buying two extra wefts just in case.

It's the mannequin heads. I own a few cyperous wigs and they're wonderful insofar as quality and color, but their photos are very awkward and they're majorly lax when it comes to styling that takes effort, like drills. But as I said I care for lighter shades and I'd need extra wefts.

I've been researching how to do the drills. My main concern is the discoloration on them caused by the use of the hair glue. There seems to be a divide between people who choose looser, 'natural' curls versus the glue-drills. It'll be a really close call for me, I don't know what I like better.

It's by no means an easy hair style to do accurately, but it is possible. Thankfully the hair accessories will be a cue if the hair is a bit too far off on its own, and they could pull the cosplay back together if the outfit is done well enough. There is more than one way to get a 3D facsimile of that hairstyle, and I think you really should go with whichever option you feel more comfortable with wearing and maintaining all day. I've got no idea what your local con is like, but a styling that can take a few hits from stumbling ham planets seems a lot less stressful in my experience.

I was in a 6 yr relationship until 2 mon5hs ago and after breaking it off ive never felt better. If youre that commited however, firstly sit and talk about it with her, comfort her and tell her you can be the man she wants if she works towards helping herself. Get a hobby you can both enjoy that isnt stagnant and can air out frustrations like boxing. Fingerbang her if your dick wont fit. Relationships are about growth, truth, understanding and compromise. Keep these in mind but if after your efforts there are no results then you will need to understand that youll be happier without her, both of you will.

I'm a teacher that works 45-50 hours a week and to be honest a pretty mediocre craftsperson/cosplayer, but I do enjoy it as my hobby and my work schedule/salary allows me to live fairly comfortably.

My boyfriend is unemployed and beginning college this semester to study sculpture. He is an amazing craftsperson. Lately I've been pouring tons of money and resources into cosplay materials so we can work on costumes together on weekends. His work is going great but he massively wastes resources (3 layers of worbla for each armor piece) and everytime I show him something I've made he looks at me with this tight-lipped shfity eyed smile like he's thinking about how much it sucks. I'm honestly in tears thinking about this right now and he's still working on his costume. ughh uggggggh

Ask her if you really need a house or maybe just a bigger apartment.

I've lived with my guy for 5 years. When we have looked for apartments, size has definitely been a big factor. We don't like feeling like chickens. 2 people's things can take up room and make some one bedrooms just terrible to live in.

As cute and enjoyable as your costume making adventures may be together, you may need to steer him toward hobbies that make a little more money.

Sculptures and things he could sell through Ebay. If he is skilled at sculpting, if he uses his head, it can be quite the rewarding cash cow.

I mean, he'll have to work a job to supplement it, but it'll allow him to pay bills and have spending/saving money from the sculptures.

And maybe just suck it in, stick to the sewing, and leave the Worbla for him to mess with.

Personally anon, I've been going to cons for 8 years or so and have never been to a panel/q&a for a VA. I just don't really care. I watched the show/played the game, I don't really feel the need to ask questions to someone who voiced a character. Seems kind of boring.
However I'd probably make an exception if it was someone who had voiced a multitude of characters I enjoyed, or voiced really iconic characters (though I honestly care much less about anime than I do cartoons, so).

Not many of my friends (who are invested in watching a lot of anime) go to conventions for the voice actors, either. More to cosplay and meet people. None of us even really go to panels.

I just bought two main pieces with no shirring. Big mistake. One of them is a jsk that just fits like a gigantic tube, the other has boob space so big I have the opposite of boob loaf.

I'm afraid to bring one into the seamstress as well because it's chiffon, and the last owner didn't exactly keep it in the greatest condition. I'm trying to revive it but it looks pretty worn out and ready to give out at the slightest wearing.

I just lost my food stamps today. Long story short:

>My state is cutting foodstamps unless you can earn $150 a week or you can prove you're disabled
>About 65,000 are losing their stamps this month who need it in my state

I lost my job 4 months ago and can't find one. I'm promised my resume will be checked out and am ~on top of the list~ then see new employees in said stores every time I go in.
I went in to my local CVS today, handed in a fifth application, was told that they're no longer hiring despite being given the ol'
>Great resume! We'll contact you soon!

for months and broke down after I left.

I have about 12 days of food left in my home and it seems like this is my last month with the internet, since I'm out of money now. I have no food banks around me, I have no family to help, I have zero friends and can only get around on my own two feet.

I know I'm just being overly emotional right now, but I am terrified. I don't want to go hungry again.

Try applying to many many jobs at once.
You don't have to worry about turning employers down if you get multiple "yes" responses.
Just personally show up in every single pharmacy, grocery store, even fast food joints that you could work in. Bring your resume if you must, but don't let them do you away with "we'll check it and contact you". Ask for a quick talk with whoever is responsible for new hires. Tell him you need to be employed fast and can start working right now.

It sounds hard, but it's ridiculously easy to find a job like this. Everything's better than going hungry.

That's exactly what I am doing. I write down I'm available every day, day and night. For example, whenever I hand in an application for CVS the cashier grabs the manager, since he checks them out on the spot. It's incredibly frustrating, since he'd say I'm on top of the list, or that he's going to contact me soon then I see someone new in there. I know it's just sweet talk, but it still got my hopes up.

No one is hiring, they don't pick me, or I get told it's a family business.

Well... I don't have a car so I have to walk everyday to work... and I'm in poverty, so even though I cook, I can't afford more then one meal; two if it is a good day. I don't really have a choice. :(

Don't tell me that, mitral valve defects run on my family.

As far as my internet goes, I didn't have internet for two years then my family intervened. Bless their nerdy hearts, they feel internet is a necessity right there with food, shelter, and water.

Dear sir, women are icing on the cake of life. At least if your willy needs a quick fix, you know it is available. Jobs, good health, and hobbies are the batter that makes it happen.

You had/have hobbies, you have acquired good health by loosing that dangerous fat, and I don't know if you have a good job.

The right women will come along, just keep doing the things you enjoy, work hard, and keep your physique. One day, you'll be a very happy man.

I don't know their annual income so I can't say, but they work in low-paying positions like me (I'm a security guard).
The difference is that I accepted that I'll never have a "real job" here or be seen as an equal due to my background and foreign education, but they still BAWW about low wages and cling to their ethnicity just to feel superior. I felt like chewing them out over it several times but I don't want to be known as a shit-stirrer.

If you live where I do, there are no black people. None, never. We had 3 black people in the town, and you knew them because they were the only 3. Nothing racist intended, you just noticed they were the only 3. The high school I attended has never has had a black person graduate. (The few that ever attended were very quick to switch schools.)

Trust me, in this type of society, 40% of white people are these 'niggers' you speak of. Race has nothing to do with it.

He has a stutter/slight speech impediment and has a really weird sense of humor that isn't funny to 99.9% of the population, along with the habit of repeating things multiple times until someone acknowledges him (product of growing up in a crowded household where he didn't get much attention).

I agree that there are immigrants who cause trouble, but then you should really fix your immigration criteria. No reason for educated people to be put into the same box as petty criminals that arrived on a boat from Lampedusa.

Start with sewing lessons. I know JoAnn's offers them. Use patterns, this will make your life 100x easier. Pick cosplays that won't require massively styled wigs. Begin small and work your way up to more complex stuff. If you have friends that can help you, politely recruit them to give you advice. Use good tutorials. If you're afraid of looking shitty, then just be a massive perfectionist about your cosplay, like everyone else on this board. Chances are you won't get made fun of unless you selfpost your worst stuff. Cons are fun, just go with some friends. Feel any better?

I think to invite one day my bf into more geeky/otaku shit because not really into it, he said also yes to cosplay one day. Well, unfortunately we are a bit too biased or judgemental, but mine is more a physical attraction and some music preference rather than having the same exact tastes, a bit of variety is good.
Don't judge also the people who want a partner with some features, unless too much unrealistic or crazy. That is attraction preference, a thing everyone have. I'm sure you have also some preferences about guys too.

i had one prior in my pre teen years and i shed off a lot of weight but it gave my heart a lot of problems so i stopped and recovered but ended up getting really fat again. i just started my brand craze after realizing how accessible second hand brand is but it's just making me upset with myself. i've already started throwing up my dinner every other day this last week but i know i need to get ahold of myself. i'm too ashamed and don't want to worry my friends and my boyfriend and so here i am on 4chan whining to distract me from trying to upchuck again, sorry

I don't think you sound boring. I love Star Trek but hate the reboot, am slightly obsessed with Tolkien's work but not remotely interested in seeing the last Hobbit movie since the second one was such a steaming pile of disappointment. Superhero movies leave me cold, too. You're not alone.

These movies are being churned out to make maximum profit for Disney and are targeted towards a certain audience. You're not part of that audience, and that's okay.

I'm gonna bounce off of this and say that it seems there is a certain level of "nerd" that is acceptable in mainstream culture - aka the Marvel movies, lel memes, the new Star Trek reboots, anything with Benadict Cumberbund, (sad to say) Sailor Moon, etc....but god forbid you let on you like other things besides those, or don't like anything currently "nerd popular", becuase you automatically get labeled as a hipster, old fart, or weird.

I don't mean to come off as bitter, it just makes me laugh that I'm apparently not "nerdy enough" becuase I don't rush out to see every Marvel movie (or Hobbit), but I mention my fandom tattoos, suddenly I'm the oddball.

IKTF but my sister is only 11 so she's still growing a lot, I don't want to buy her anything she'll grow out of because I know her and I know she'll fall in love with it.

I might sit her down and ahve her go through Bodyline's kid section, though, her Birthday is in April and that's cheap enough.

She's also very interested in cosplay, she asked me to make her an Elsa dress and braid her (blonde) hair like Elsa's. She confidently told me that she didn't need a wig because she already had blonde hair. I won't discourage that just yet.

I just don't know what substyle she'd go with, her personality says sweet, but her current wardrobe says classic.

When I'm at a loss dealing with the kind of person who thinks that repeatedly "Just think positive thoughts! Believe in yourself! Be confident! Kittens! Lol!" is remotely helpful I like to link them to the "adventures in depression part 1 and 2" posts from Hyperbole and a Half which 4chan isn't letting me post links to.

There was a girl in my lolita comm who was trying really really really hard to un-depress me to the point that even thinking about her filled me with horrible guilt and self-loathing, which in turn caused even thinking about lolita to fill me with horrible guilt and self-loathing, and having her read these helped a little. People who have never experienced depression will never truly understand what it's like but it's still possible for them to sort of learn what is and isn't helpful.

Do you have cosplay/gaming friends? They won't directly help you earn money or be popular but they might give you a reason to start putting yourself out there more, because you know there are at least a handful or people who like to see what you're up to. I'm not a cosplayer but I wear lolita and otome and I feel really awkward posting my coords anywhere when nobody gives a shit, so I kind of hope that I can make some lolita friends to interact with and help me be more active online. Also having friends who share your interests is, y'know, nice in general.
This is assuming you haven't made the FB page yet. Disregard me if you have.

That's exactly what I'm worried about like, everybody now does cosplay, so I would be another random one and I don't want to fall in that "S4S xD ?" thing to stand out...

I do have friends and cool people that I talked frequently that would help me in the beggining of this and that encouraged me to use Twitch, but I'm just so shy and afraid of failing, it's annoying

And no, I don't have any facebook page set up, I'm have just started my cosplay

Don't think it's your personality, anon. Are you enjoying your studies? If it's not the right degree for you, then consider doing something else, something you'll like.

I can't expect people to approach me themselves, but when I try to talk to others I just feel like a bother to them. I try to be interested, but it's been 3 months now and I have no one to call a friend. I think I barely passed the stage where you can initiate a conversation without it being too awkward, but not yet at the point where people approach me themselves.

One girl said that I seemed hard to approcach, or too distant, but I'm not sure that's it. How do you know for sure that people don't want to be around you? Please don't let me be the only one who feels this feel.

I would look into supplements for your depression and anxiety. They really do help a lot. But it's possible you do need something more.
Be honest with your professors. I was like this in college and I just straight up told my professors what was happening and they were really lenient and willing to help me. just don't be a dick and take advantage of it.

I've been wanting to die for about two years
I feel fat
I feel ugly
My boyfriend doesn't help, he's so thin and cute, and I look like a whale.
He always eats so little, but if I try to follow him I end up starving and getting sick
I feel like he would be better off without me
I can't even sew properly anymore, everything looks ugly on me, my dresses, my cosplays.

I dream of cosplaying loli characters, flat-chested and really thin, since I'm only 150cm tall

I know I'll never be able to do it, I can't pay surgery and I can't bring myself to loose weight, I deserve all this.

Maybe I'll do it tonight after my boyfriend goes to sleep, maybe I'll wait a few more days, I know that for now I'll just cry.

Don't let that shit determine your fate. You can fix it with discipline and it sure as shit isn't worth dying over.

You're eating at a calorie deficit starting tomorrow. You don't have to eat so little that you get sick, just less and healthier alternatives.

Work out how much you should be eating here: http://ratfactor.com/fat-loss-calculator
You can find the calorie content of common foods on Google: http://google.com/search?q=calories+one+a+carrot

Cut out fast food and soda. Avoid processed food, try to eat only natural foods like chicken, fish, broccoli, peas, lentils and rice, spinach, and other vegetables and lean meats. And drink enough water! 7-8 cups a day at least.

You can do this, and it will change your life.

Hello /fit/izen, not the same anon, but I was wondering if you might have any info on body workouts or home workouts. I really don't have the time or money to go to a gym. Also is there anything I should buy to use at home?

Yeah! I'm actually in the same situation so I've done quite a bit of research.

First off, bodyweight stuff isn't as bad as they say, it's a good way to start if you're a beginner and useful if you don't have money for equipment. Various sets of pushups, bench dips, squats, lunges, pullups, situps or russian twists and planking are good. (look up technique videos for these because it's important to do strength training right!)

And if you want to move up from that you don't need those huge gym machines, dumbbells and barbells all the way! There are loads of exercises for those so I won't list them all, but make sure you don't overdo one muscle group, try distribute it. (And technique is even more important with weights!)

And don't forget cardio! It's more important for you health than muscle building! Running and swimming are awesome for this!

I'll stop shitting up the feels thread now...

Okay so these are my feels: I should be finishing this essay for Friday but instead I'm wasting time on cgl. And now I should go to bed cause it's so late. Why must I be such a procastinator. Also, I finally began working out more and cutting out snacks and sodas but today I was too fucking hungry for no reason and ate a bunch of gummy bears and I feel like I fucked up my habits again.

Also, as I was slathering lotion on my reptilian body, I realised I was sitting naked on Mr Yanpillow's face.

I love getting stronger, but I can't figure out how to dress. I feel like I only look good in tight skirts and baggy long sleeve tops. Cant cosplay cute school girls anymore.

Also I feel horrible about it, but I can't stand my husband's dog. I hate him so much. Ive succeeded in training him, but when my husband is around, he's back to acting up and being horrible. When I try to calmly explain this to my husband, he just gets quiet or occasionally makes excuses. He's the one enabling this fucking dog.

When I come home and see him, I am filled with rage. I hate when he gets excited. I hate his constant barking and finicky eating. I hate how he fakes being hurt for attention (even my husband acknowledges this). He always lays on my side of the bed and licks himself until there is a huge wet spot. I've placed heavy objects there to stop him from laying there, but he somehow moves them. He NEVER lays anywhere else on the bed. If my husband leaves the room, even to go to the bathroom, he will whine and bark until he comes back. Thankfully he's stopped doing this when my husband leaves the house. This dog is 9 years old, but I think he's going to live forever.

Not a dog hater, by the way. This is the first dog I've ever disliked and I absolutely love my husband's other dog (who I consider ours rather than my husband's).

Sounds like one of the big problems is your husband's behaviour too as you already mentioned.
You're living together and it effects both of you, and the dog needs to be trained properly. It would make all of you happier if your husband tried a little so that you could actually tolerate or even enjoy the company of the dog.

Can you not sit him down and calmly talk about the dog's behaviour and that he might need to change things? Say you just have the dog in mind too.

I'm having a lot of issues after recovering from my eating disorder. I've put on weight and it's horrifying looking in the mirror and seeing what I look like as 'normal'. Mentally I don't think I've overcome it and I'm having food cravings, but am also having a hard time fighting off the urge to starve myself. I'm disgusting and I feel so bad about still feeling this way after I was in therapy for so long, and my parents are just so done with it so I'm on my own and they don't really speak to me anymore and it really just feels like a very lonely and difficult place at the moment.

Yeah. I've sat him down and talked to him about it, but the other day I did blow up and yell at my husband for letting his dog act like that. The dogs listen to me, but neither of them listen to him, and he sees this but refuses to change his own behaviour.

This dog also does shit like refuses to eat, drink, and even sometimes lay down unless my husband is within 5ft and the other dog is nowhere near him. Seriously, he won't eat all day until my husband comes home, even if it is 11pm. He will constantly whine by his bowls. He barks when we play wrestle with the other dog. He will randomly hold up his paw and make a horrible, loud squawking type cry until you reach over to his paw. You don't even need to touch him. You just have to acknowledge his bullshit. I don't anymore, and my husband is getting better at not acknowledging it too but holy shit it's a horrendous sound and clearly for attention

Im so bad at making friends.
I need verbal consent to be friends with someone, or else I'm way too nervous to talk or be apart of any conversation.
A lot of my comm members think this a 'cute' and 'quirky' trait, but its serious and when they stuff like that i feel belittled.

At least if I ever had to check I know it'd go like that with my friends.
But I get what you mean Anon, I was cripplingly like that too for a while.
I know the whole "just be yourself" advice seems like it's full of shit, and it is most of the time, but that's basically what advice I'm going to give you regarding just making friends in general.

It's a learning process, becoming sociable, and the only way you'll learn is by gaining experience from doing.
Being yourself means not putting on a facade to get in good graces of someone you don't even really like. It means not lying to yourself, and that means if you aren't enjoying an event, don't stay.
If you know you need to stay, then stay.
Being yourself also means the real you has to be a pleasant person to hang around.
That doesn't mean you have to be overtly polite, just that you have to be not unpleasant.
So if you're irritating and you only drive others away, you've got to look towards yourself and address the problem.
If the people around you are shit and driving you away, then you've got to be strong enough to say "fuck em" and live and let die.

Am I being of any assistance?
Or do you mean you want me to educate you on cues like body language and verbose?
