This is embarrassing for me but I want to get it off my chest.

I don't have any friends and live in a small town, so there's no people my age living here that I can meet anymore because they all moved to go off to bigger and better things. I recently contacted an old friend to catch up but they decided they weren't interested.
I currently don't have a job (trying to work on changing that) and I can't drive so everything I do has to be in walking distance. So I spend almost 70% of my time completely alone.
I am absolutely starved for human interaction and that's why I started coming here about a couple months ago. I don't even really like it here, but since it's the only place I've been able to actually get to talk to people, here I still am.

I feel like an embarrassing shut in or something.

There have been some divorces in my family and now both sides hate each other. Most notably, my grandma and grandpa divorced in the 70s, and she hates him and will kick off if she sees him. Her ex-husband remarried and I have a bunch of cousins and shit on that side, meaning I have more people expecting an invite from his family than all my other relatives put together. My parents also divorced because my dad was an abusive dickwad, but I'm still in contact with my grandparents and uncle on that side and would want them there. Kinda wanna invite my dad too but my mom's side of the family would be pissed if they saw him. To add to the mess, I'm gay and three quarters of my relatives are homophobic, but would still be mortally offended if they weren't invited. Ever since gay marriage got legalized in my state my girlfriend's been joking about tying the knot but it makes me panicky just thinking about the logistics of it.

>inb4 how is this /cgl/ related

>The only angle/expression that works for me is looking straight at the camera with a slight bitchface.
I felt like this for a long time because I thought my natural smile looked weird but I found that a slight (not Misako Aoki-style) closed-mouth smile or a slight open-mouthed smile also looked good at a 3/4 angle. But I have to look slightly up or straight if I'm doing a 3/4 angle because any angle combined with looking down makes the tip of my nose look bulbous and huge. As a result, a super-snooty turned-up nose angle actually works well for me, but it's unsuitable unless the character has in-show a permanent attitude of looking down on all these peasants.

That's always been a strange concept to me. You can be 150 and not look skinnyfat. Only online will people be catty and call you fat because you aren't a kawaii little thing. What truly matters is being able to fit into flattering clothes or the clothes you want to wear.

I'm 165 atm, was a size 22 long ago, and NO one calls me fat or out of shape IRL. Then again I look terrible because my body fat percentage/measurements are still big (thanks mom for the banana shape!).

Op that was me for a few years, I was so sad. I straight up moved & went to community college in another town (I had a masters already in a useless field) for 2 years, 2 years on again from that I still have the core group of friends I made there plus 40 odd acquaintances because of my hobby turned work. I suggest you look into less drastic avenues though as I only moved because I had no family left either there and nothing to lose. You can perhaps even consider younger friends in your area. My new group is 6 years younger than me (26 to my 32) but once yous are past 18 the age difference makes no change. I do recommend a class in a small local college, or gettimg involved in whatever art/drama/music that the place has to offer. Even the gym. I never made friends at the gym but I got a really slim body and felt so healthy! If everything needs to be within walking distance then consider a bicycle. I also tried bars but that wasn't much good. If you have dance classes its easy to make friends at them too. Thats all I can think of right now. Oh, and if you can-do a day trip to another town or city, just to stop you feeling trapped. I used to feel very trapped in my old town.

If there's a library within walking distance that could be good for you anon. A lot of them hold free classes and events, and you can get involved with things like volunteering to help old people learn to use a computer (which, although sometimes frustrating, can actually be really rewarding - some older people are really isolated, or rarely to never get visits because their children and grandchildren live in other states or countries, so shit like Skype can really improve their life).

Make different invites for people you do and don't want at your wedding, and make the ones you send to your homophobic relatives gay as fuck. Tell them you need to be at least this gay to attend, or no open bar for them.
Alternatively you can look up some advice from people who aren't autists like me. Your problem of feeling obligated to invite assholes you don't even want to your wedding is a very common one and entire libraries have been written on the subject.

It's because so few works of media pass the Bechdel test that yurifags are really starved of potential pairings. Not so much in anime, but in a lot of media it's rare to find two female characters with development and backstory so yurifags will ship anyone that's seen onscreen with the protagonist. With male protagonists, although the ships may be unlikely, they usually interact with at least two or three other male characters so the fujoshi can pick the best of a bad bunch. Yurifags annoy me as much as the next person, but when the villain's the only female the protagonist knows that has anything approaching character development, I can see why they get shipped with them.

This. I'm both yurifag and yaoifag, and I can say that how realistic a pairing is means jack shit. I haven't quite figured out the math behind what drives a certain pairing into popularity, but I suppose it has more to do with how much one can get under the skin of the other than how polite they are to each other.

Basically. I ship a lot of different things, but I think opposites are more popular because it means more possibilities for interesting chemistry then just lovey-dovey from the start. Like if characters hate each other there's more options for that 40 chapter fanfiction to get them to warm up for each other.

The reason most people ship in the first place is because they know they can't have it. Aside from the most generic of shoujo, most series never seem to get canon relationships so it's free for all in the eyes of fans.

For me (sage for not strictly /cgl/ related), it's that I like plot and characterization with my porn and it's hard to get that elsewhere. With shipping, you find two characters you like and whose personalities you like, and get to see them fuck, whether in art or fanfic. I'm not one of the people who legit thinks their ships are true and the authors intended them all along, but I enjoy thinking that two characters would be good together. Also I'm a lesbian and there's shit all decent lesbian media out there, so we take what we can find. (And like the anon up above said about there not being much media with two - or even one - developed female characters, I'll also ship yaoi pairings too because of that.)

It used to be hell finding stuff that fit (especially normalfag clothes, which, unlike lolita, don't feature shirring and corset lacing or offer custom sizes) until I got ill and lost a bunch of weight and it made me flatter. Then I could finally actually fit into UK 8 clothes, whereas before it was like my waist was a 6 and my chest was a 10-12, but if I wore size 10-12 clothes it was super baggy on my waist.

My underbust was two inches above the max waist size on the skirt even before my weight gain. I'm kind of short waisted too. So I guess once my weight goes back down, I'll get the skirt altered. I don't want to do it now when I need to drop 20-30 pounds.

Sorry for being vague, I'm making mako and the front end of hers curves in around the neck line, the pattern I got is straight, like triangles. It'll be simple enough to modify once I'm not running purely on caffine.

Bodyline sale.
Most things I want still out of stock or not available yet. I still check even though it's been months. No shiny shoes, no gold shoes, no violin boots.
Get 2 blouses and a fairly plain pair of shoes.
Later think about how much I will be able to wear them with.
Realize I need to focus more on these kinds of pieces and it will expand my wardrobe so much.

Incoming bag o feels

Man, this is just not a good month to host any meets. Everyone's either busy with finals coming up or burnt out from AM. I have one coming up and I've put up a lot of hype into it, but all I'm getting are a bunch of maybes, and the people who said wanted to go during a feeler post haven't responded. I'm seriously thinking about canceling it pretty soon. I have no idea what i'm going to do on my day off though.

Anyone else have been dealing with a similar problem in their comm (bunch of no-shows)?

Also:

>seeing everyone's AM posts and posts about winning Baby tea party tickets

I'm taking my boyfriend to his first con in May. I'm really happy that he's taking such an interest in my hobbies, but I've already made plans to cosplay in a group with friends for the Saturday, and I'm worried that he'll feel left out. He doesn't know anyone else in the con scene, although I think he'll get along with my friends because they have quite similar interests outside of cosplay.

I don't wanna make him troop around after a bunch of weebs for the biggest day of the con, but I also don't want him to feel like I don't want him there. What do, seagulls?

I've dealt with this before, so we put together a last-minute-ish costume for him. It was the one way for him to not feel left out of the entire con scene, and now he sees characters and thinks "I want to cosplay that" instead of just "That's a cool character". Good feel.

Is there any costume at all (even a Halloween one or casual clothing one) that you could put together and get away with at a con? Also include him in on everything, inform him of whatever you guys are chatting about, make him feel like he's in-the-know.

Not that anon but white/ivory tights or even OTKs are a bloody nightmare to find in brick and mortar shops where I live. You'd think they were a staple colour but nope, everything white is either super sheer sexytime stay-ups or only made in little girl sizes. Any store will have at least five different kinds of opaque black tights but white is like the holy grail. I blame normalfags.

>>8237740
I think anon meant that lolita sales comms are private so when she posts there it's only visible to other lolitas, but if she were to post it in the public fairy kei sales group it would be visible all her old neighbour's dog's cousins in law and their grannies.

Well, white tights do make your legs look a lot fatter. It's not an issue in lolita because of the skirt length, but since people know that maybe they don't sell well.

Sounds like me in high school, tbh, only my parents would pay for stuff as a result. Maybe it's because you're an only child? I was always able to point to my sister and how she was getting £10 every week or couple of weeks to go to the cinema or go bowling with friends or something, and how I never asked for that kind of money because I rarely went out.

IP login addresses would be a bad way of telling because there are often multiple Facebook accounts in the same household, and people sharing computers. But maybe if it looks fake, like has an obviously fake name or is like [Realname's Lolita Account] or something? I've never heard of lolita accounts getting deleted but I know it happens to cosplay ones which is why people switched to fanpages.

I kind of know what you're talking about. A female friend of mine is really morbidly obese and she's the only obese person I know, so I'm always quietly marveling at how she manages to exist in that body. I love her and don't look down on her for her size but I'm still fascinated. We recently started planning a trip together and I can't help but wonder, will she fit in the airplane seat? Do we have to buy two tickets for her? Will she fit through the security gate? Will our hotel's toilet seat hold her? What if she breaks a piece of furniture? She might as well have enormous antlers or something. It's like she's living with a big heavy prop or hoopskirt permanently attached to her body and I just can't imagine what it must be like.
Of course I'd never tell anyone this because marveling at someone like they're some kind of exotic zoo animal isn't exactly nice, but I just can't help it.

I used to date a guy who was obese. Nicest guy I'd ever met, had a great social life, has two jobs, and treated me amazingly. He's also had many girlfriends before and after me when we broke up. It's not all that shocking for someone who is obese to get friends/dates.
That whole thing of: skinny/pretty people never had to work on their personality, fat/ugly people do, I guess applies.
Don't be baffled and question it. You said he was cool so there's your answer on how he got girls.

this. this is the feel I fucking get.

its more of a mixture of love/concern as well.
I died a bit inside when he told me all he eats is greasy shit. I'm really happy to have a new friend, but I don't want him to suddenly die on me. I'm not going to ask him these rude questions about his life or tell him how to live it but I'm just sitting here in silent curiousity.

I mean, all these wonders are eating me apart so I posted on an anon imageboard and I'm actually extremely dissapointed that it turned tumblr-ey.

I have a buddy. Big Phil. The Immobilizer.

Phil is easily 6'11" and I honestly can't guess weights, but he's.. A big fuckin' guy. Like 4' wide from any angle.

Phil has enormous, stubby sausages taped to shovels in lieu of hands. He's also a classically trained pianist who can produce some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Blows my mind every time.

A few days ago I realized the bobbins I've been using were the wrong size for my machine, which is why it wasn't working properly.

You really shouldn't focus so much on your weight. It can fluctuate by around 5 lbs day to day depending on a lot of different things. If you really need to see a number you should buy a caliper and calculate your body fat percentage.

This may have sounded ruder than I meant. I meant to say:
Because he's obese he may have had to work harder on hobbies and peronality which is why he is so popular/friendly. It's normal to be curious as to how he can be so good at things, but try to not be harsh when you think about it. Like "Wow he's so fat and he gets dates? Lucky asshole" and so on. I get curious as to how it feels being so obese but it feels like I'm being an asshole and judging them when I think about it. As long as you're nice to him and not being mean behind his back, I think you're okay.

It's kind of cute. I wish I understood his vision well enough so I could write for him. He has a bound leather book sitting here too with fancy handcrafted pages, it's blank though. I can tell he aims to write in it, though it's very obvious he's apprehensive about writing bad material in it so he hasn't started it yet. I kind of know the feeling. Once I'm done this semester I'd love to help him work on a journal project for his amtgard stuff.

To be fair, it's not just that you'd criticise its quality, but being that it's self insert, and about him, he would be more worried about you judging his own nature via judging the dopiness of the story... dunno how to say it.
But I got real upset once because I drew a really personal piece and my best friend thought the idea was really cliche. I know she was judging something else, not me, but I still felt like my character was being judged and that by judging that they're also judging who I am

It was this. The obscure one was the only one I could make in time since I work a lot. I wouldn't be sad if I was cosplaying alone and no one got it. But it was kind of depressing that my friends made no effort to include me at all. Especially since I spend so much time making sure the first friend feels included in pretty much everything I do because she throws a tantrum if I don't.

Ugh, I know that feel. I'm actually done with school (no plans for grad yet) and although I'm not above my current job, I'm sooo over it. It was fine when I was still in school and had it to pay for groceries and bills outside of rent, but under-employment is not what I want to deal with anymore, and neither do I want to see people I used to associate with being the same degenerates you're talking about. I just want to move to a different town where I don't know anyone.

>the educated and responsible are too busy shouldering their responsibilities and college debts to focus on ambitions of our own.

For real. I want an overdue vacation and to afford lolita (including going to cons and meets), but I'm not making enough to feel comfortable paying off my loans which starts in June.

I seriously hope I get hired at a second job soon. My current place keeps letting people go typically an hour before their clock out time because of high labor and low business.

I have never, ever seen a homeschooled person who didn't come out fucked up in some way. I consider myself sheltered as fuck, but even being at school and extracurricular made me wise up somewhat to the world by the time I got to college. Homeschooled kids are fucked from the start because of the utter lack of social interaction they have.

I'm really happy about the weight loss, but I fear that I'm going to develop a problem with my eating habits considering I'm happy having ~900 calories per day. I'm 5'6 but really sedentary but still can't imagine this being healthy.

900 a day isn't ideal, anon. I'm a head shorter than you and I've been doing 1,000/day to lose a few lbs. Just eat when you're hungry, mind your portions, and stick to the list of foods that your doctor recommended. And stay the hell away from MPA.

I'm looking to remove a few 'beauty marks' from my face. One is slightly raised but the others are flat and it's so frustrating because different people have completely different attitudes towards it, and I need them gone because they're a bother when I'm shaving.
>Noooo, don't touch it! It'll leave a scar and you'll make it worse!
>Nooo, they look cute! Leave them!
When I ask about laser removal most say it's perfectly fine but there's some weird mental gymnastics going on over if it's okay to remove them if they aren't cancerous (which they aren't).
>You can only remove them if they're malignant! Otherwise leave them alone, they may become malignant when you remove them!
Like what the fuck kind of logic is that?
Others however say it's fine to remove them but as they're level with skin you can only do it surgically or with lasers, and when I go to different clinics to ask around most of them only ever mention the big raised moles and no one ever addresses these.

Doesn't help that in my country, removal of one of them (by a laser) is over €450 because of taxes and jewry while in a neighbouring country laser removal of moles/birthmarks is €40 each.

I'm kind of peeved that everyone runs their mouth without knowing anything for sure, and most doctors I've visited pretend that surgical removal is the only way to go and keep telling me 'but they're cute'. I don't fucking care, I hate them and I want them gone.
Doesn't help that I look like a bitchy French courtesan in Lolita thanks to them.

That was actually the plan, but it's a bitch to research due to the language barrier and shitty translations make most of their clinics' web presentations look incredibly shifty.

I have a "friend" like this. She's super pathetic. The religious type who's cheated, doesn't work to improve herself or the community, but thinks god is on her side to birth tons of spawn. She can't afford children because her and her fiance both work minimum wage service jobs, but gubment will help them. She learned that from her mom who raised her the same way.

It wouldn't bother me so bad if I didn't think she was such an attention whore. She already has one kid by a different man and recently announced she's having another with her current boy that she got engaged to after only a year.
She's extra preachy about the new pregnancy (even posted the positive pregnancy test) because she claims to have had a miscarriage a year ago (positive test picture was strangely absent that time...) and had been trying. So this is god's work finally blessing her. Though I'm convinced she's still an idiot for trying for pregnancy but not finding out she was pregnant until nearly 7 weeks.

I fear for the first child because she's the Munchausen type, and I'm not exaggerating.
As far back as I've known her she's had a history of "accidents" for attention, like falling down stairs or displaying nasty bruises. A year and a half ago she lied on her facebook saying someone had "mugged" her of her engagement ring while out for a jog. A police report later confirmed that she had fabricated the story, there was no mugger, and that she had a psychological evaluation.

Recently her first child had been experiencing some pretty weird health situations. She posted a picture of him in the ER after reporting pain, and then another post about him developing some sort of skin infection that she says happened from not washing his ears properly. I think there was one status about him hitting his head, which she chalked up to him "just being a kid." Strangely, after this pregnancy announcement his carelessness seems to have dissipated...

Oh I also forgot to mention her hospital visits aplenty for various asthma attacks and other medical emergencies which turned out to be nothing major.

Anyway, I didn't want this to be a TL;DR but I have to pretty much bite my tongue about this unless I rant to my boyfriend or parents. She's really manipulative, as in she acts outwardly nice and religious but deep down is a user, so it's really hard to criticize her publicly without people thinking I'm attacking an innocent lamb who dindu nuffin.

I got sick of her shit about two years ago when I realized she only ever hung out with me because I had a car and went to college that had nice boys than what the ghetto had to offer (so I could "take her to Starbucks so she could hit on them"). I told her off, she wrote a bunch of passive-aggressive statuses on facebook about me, made herself to be the victim, and since I had never bitched about the user problems before our circle thought I was just being a bitch and didn't have justification.

I womaned up and apologized, because I also realize she's a product of her environment and she may be legitimately fucked up. However, we're clearly not close anymore. I don't even think I'll be invited to her potluck wedding. Not that it would be anything great either, she's asking people for money since she wants a vacation and not a registry.

You're doing this all disproportionately.
Shit for shit, anon. Don't trash his music taste, trash on his clothes instead. Make him feel inadequate for what he wears, next time he wears anything less than appealing ask him why he's dressing so lazily or ugly. Or if he wears the same style all the time tell him that he's boring all around.
Disagreeing with his musical tastes while he's calling your dresses, a major hobby of yours (not to mention identity), ugly is absolutely not equal.

He does sound like he's being an ass about it though. A real shame, I think lolita is pretty good, though I think some styles are much better than others. I don't really dig sweet but classic is lovely.

I don't go out of my way to shit on his music tastes, just saying "I hate this singer, his voice annoys me so much" and "I don't like this type of music". It's not like I've said "This is the worst song, you have shit taste".

He's just really blunt whenever he says stuff and doesn't think twice if he should word something different to lesson the blow. English isn't his first language so he does tend to say things without realizing that he said it harshly. But still, if I try to explain that he should lie a little instead of immiedately saying something is ugly, he gets annoyed and doesn't understand why he should lie about something.

He's not obligated to like everything you like, and he's not obligated to lie to you to protect your feefees either.

And you, you need to either just say fuck it and wear what you want for yourself rather than trying to make him happy, be your own person.

Solid 4chan-tier advice there, but I kinda agree with her points. Your bf may feel criticized when you diss his music taste, but strangers he meets don't know anything about his music taste. Whereas when he disses what you wear and says it's just unrelentingly ugly, is saying that every other person who sees you in it must also think you're hideous and ugly.

I have started to depersonalize really hard lately and it's honestly terrifying. Interacting with people is nearly impossible so I've cut contact with everyone I know. My girlfriend messaged me because my friends actually thought I had died (I've been suicidal for a long time) but I can't feel any guilt over making them worry which is very unlike me.
I mentioned this to my therapist and she just said it can be a depression symptom but I've been depressed since my early teens (mid-twenties now) and I've never felt like this before.
Don't really know where to go from here, guess I'm just hoping it will pass on its own.

I can't say that they will respond well because I don't know them but if they meantion it just be sympathetic. There's nothing wrong with "I'm so sorry that happened" and "I wish there was more I could do" but most of the time we just want to feel normal so we need normal friends

I don't know why I have to starve myself just to stay thin. I think there's something wrong with my stupid body. I eat primarily protein, vegetables, and oatz already, and itty bitty portions at that. Fucking fat thighs.

I'm also tired and dizzy all the time and it's pissing me off. Why is my body so fat and weak and useless? I really do push myself physically, but it's never enough. My only saving grace is an hourglass and dresses that hide my thighs. When I'm sitting in a chair, they're so fat at the top that they look triangular.

If you hate it so much, move. You can do it. Well, the only way I was able to move was by going to university on loans. You can go for a two year tech training and it'll be good and get you out and on a new path. I went for a four year because I'm a masochist and hate life.

I really like wearing my lolita outfits now, I always get compliments from my hairdressers and girls/women here seem to like it for the most part.

Though I haven't really gone out in pastels and louder prints yet. All toned down/"casual" gothic and classic dresses in dark colourways.
Makes me feel qt even though most of my outfits would probably be considered boring.

My area is very Asian-centric too, especially in a few certain areas. It seems to be about 50/50 some of the Asian girls don't know what it is but think it's cute, and then the rest either ignore/don't care though I did have one girl take my picture "secretly" which pissed me off so I pretended to take hers.

I feel bad for some of the girls in my comm who get creepers commenting on them.

/cgl/ is indeed shit these days, the point of no return was the PLS NO BULLY OR DRAMA rule which was zealously enforced a while back. I only pop in time to time for specific threads.

That said, stop being a whiny cunt. Anyone who's opinion matters has no problem with male cosplayers as long as they aren't shitposting or whoring for whiteknightesses. If people would just ignore and sage the tumblrs until they get the message and go away things would improve.

For the record, I was just showcasing some wings that I'd made and some other costume parts. Nothing more, I just wanted some diverse opinions on the objects at hand.
I did ignore them, I left my own thread to avoid drama or conflict initiated by them in the first place.

If you can't tolerate the 99% shit for the 1% of quality posts, /cgl/ and most of 4chan is probably not good for you. Granted /cgl/s brand of shit is particularly cancerous which is why I frequent it like I would a graveyard.

I did get cosplay-related replies up until the point a couple of snide bitches came into the thread and started ranting and bitching and raving and shouting down my replies with Tumblr-tier horseshit. I used to get good advice all the time, and not all of /cgl/ is shit. But that's the major reason I stopped coming here. Because, genuine or not, the Tumblrshit needs to die down a bit. When I was told this was a "legitimate safe space for women interested in cosplay," I had a bit of a laugh until it was shown they were serious. Then I just bolted.

I know its far from an excuse, but a lot of that is a kneejerk response to every other board on 4chan being a "No Girls Allowed" club. /cgl/ is one of the few boards were you can openly imply or assume someone is female without the mandatory btw imma gril :^) response

Yeah its still bullshit cancer for tumblrinas to ruin an otherwise decent board, but its not a scratch to see why girls would hate guys getting their precious attention on the one board where they are allowed to get it without flashing their minge

They need to get the fuck over it. I'll keep the rant short and just say it's obvious even to this day that most people here cosplay for attention, so naturally that would appeal to the Tumblr crowd.

It didn't used to be. /cgl/ is more of a 4chan blacksheep currently than even /r9k/ even if its not as bad as /lgbt/ which is a containment board anyway.

As I said new mods enforcing new rules and a shift in majority culture brought it to what it is today.

Ideally yeah, but they have no incentive to unless the pendulum swings back the other way, which is doubtful because female mods with a SJ cause tickling their bean are almost impossible to depose, unless an overwhelming majority oppose her.

For once Moot is the correct answer. I know he was in bed with at least some of the people who came to power here and really took a public shine to /cgl/ as one of his favorite boards post-reformation which says a lot. The average anon has little control over who comes to represent the board culture and rules other than complaining up the chain or being publicly defiant, both of which accomplishes jackshit unless you have near unanimous support from the rest of the anons.

I know this isn't really /cgl/ related but I'm so frustrated and upset and I don't know what to do. Even shitty mcjobs are way out of my transport range. I don't want to have to wake up at 4AM every morning and get back home at 10PM to be paid minimum wage at a job that isn't even tangentially related to my degree.

My family and friends have been telling me for years not to pin my hopes on a 'traditional' office career, but all the careers advice I've been given has been terrible in regards to freelancing.

I just want some assurance that I won't have to work a plebby job after all the work I've put into my degree (which is in a legitimate field, but one that happens to be centred in big cities).
