I just feel so alone right now. All my friends are busy, I barely even see them, and with many of them I can't even share my hobbies or something that makes me happy, like that I bought a new dress, watched some stupid animu or drew something I actually liked.

I do have a few friends, but most of them live in another city or even state now.
I feel like such an attention whore because I really, really want some feedback and maybe some admiration and maybe someone patting me on the back and saying "Well done Anon you're so talented!" or something to make me feel better about myself.

Probably because the rest of my life is a mess which is why I want some attention in the only parts of my life I don't fail (Lolita, watching animu, drawing animu).

I understand the feeling, anon. I've gotten myself into one deep rut, and even though I've got ideas, I have no real sounding board. My fiance's getting pissed at me because I don't talk to her, but since I don't have much more to talk about aside from the abundance of plotlines that I'm doing absolutely nothing with, I clam up because I don't want her to get bored listening to me (this is psychotic, I know, but this is where I am right now). She's more concerned with day to day life and how to stay afloat. Adult stuff. I'm concerned with the complete mythology my subconscious dropped on me and what I do with it - but fuck that because adult life dictates that I need to go to my job and make the moneys to live. My days off I just sleep and dick around on the Internet all day, trying to forget that I've got to work the next day. It's a ridiculous cycle, but here I am.

That's not very helpful to you, anon, I'm sorry. Just take solace in not being alone, I suppose. I wish you the best on getting tumblr notes.

>> No.8271984

>>8271968
Nah, you sound more adult than me. Still living with my parents (no money to move out) while all of my friends moved away or together with their SO. I can't get shit done for Uni, need at least 1-2 additional semesters, and on my days off I dick around the Internet all day so that I don't have to think about Uni and my horrible future. Due to my schedule I don't even have time for my job anymore, so I can't even compensate with shopping.

So putting together coords and drawing are the only things I'm kinda proud of and that no one irl cares about. At least I can bitch on an anonymous image board...

>I wish you the best on getting tumblr notes.
Thanks! Even though it probably won't happen, I don't have a specific art blog and my main blog has less than 100 followers... But it's better than nothing I suppose.

It's weird how strongly I relate to you two.
You with your own mythology and world you've been working on and how it's been going nowhere despite wanting to.
And you still living at home and being a rut with your art despite wanting to do more.

I've actually been working on making progress in these areas though, even if it's never going to be good enough.
I'm not saying take this as advice, just that it's what I've been doing, but the only way I've gotten shit done is doing it.
Like, the whole anxiety and procrastination thing, I know I at least overthink it, don't know the root of your problems since I'm not you. But that's why I'm so anxious about doing stuff and put off even doing things I like, even the ones that take zero effort like just watching something.
And the only way I've actually managed to accomplish anything is just going for it.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I graduated from college years ago, but got two associate degrees (since I only went to a community college) and I have no bachelor's, so I'm stuck working retail unless something miraculous happens ie. I get off my ass and do something.

I don't even have 50 followers on my tumblr because I'm old and irrelevant.

So I suppose view me as a cautionary tale, anon. Keep doing what makes you happy, regardless of what irl people may think of it.

>>8271968 anon here and this. This is what happens. I overthink it, anxiety and the fear of failure get in the way and make me think I'm unable to take on the task I have assigned myself. It's a miracle I've managed to put together the few cosplays I've done. The anxiety gets so bad I do nothing. So everything festers, it all starts to rot in my brain and I lose focus.

I can relate so, so much Anon. I currently try to take this advice, but it's a struggle. I'll keep trying and hope for the best though. Thanks for reminding me of that!

>>8272011
If I ever get my bachelor it's probably gonna be useless anyway unless I make a Master in a specific field. Right now I just don't even know what I want to do with my life so I have even less motivation to get my ass up and finish Uni.

>Keep doing what makes you happy, regardless of what irl people may think of it.
I'm glad there even ARE things that make me happy again. When I started Uni 2 years ago I got pretty depressed and hated absolutley everything; nothing could really get through the thick cloud of self pity and misery. So now that I finally manage to feel some happiness and feel good for accomplishing small things I'm sure as hell gonna keep doing that no matter what.

>>8272035
Same here Anon. As said I try to follow the advice but if it was that easy we'd all never procastinate ever anymore. It's much mor edifficult than "just doing it". Sadly most normal people irl have a hard time understanding this.

>> No.8272071

>>8272035
The way I've done it is putting myself in situations where working is the only option or preferable to what I'm in.
Things like going to the library to get my assignments done or some public place to riddle myself with anxiety and cope by catharsis of drawing.
Entertainment media isn't as hard to do though, games are usually because I doubt my ability to handle something and just have to remind myself I'm actually pretty good at these.
Watching anime and or any series is just a matter of finding a chunk of time when I want to.

One easy thing though that will actually help you I've found is to never multitask.
That includes just listening to music, anything lyrical or attention grabbing at least.
You get a lot more done if you actually focus like your brain is hardwired to.

I'm kind of in a similar position, but different as a lot of my friends are into animu. We all draw. Except my friends are super well known on tumblr and I am not because I have a fear of posting things because they don't look good as my friends' works. I just feel like I'm falling farther and farther behind in terms of skill and fame (we're all in art school and tumblr is actually relevant) and I'm super worried that by the time we come out I'll still just be nobody and that I went to school for nothing.

I feel alone in that though we do share fandoms, I'm only really into them on the surface whereas they're super into the series they like. I find it hard to like a lot of the things they're into 100%, and I'm really just super into lolita as I have been before I met them.

Thing is though because of that I feel very alone because no one I know in real life is a lolita and I'm too afraid of telling my friends I like frilly things in fear of them judging me for it. Drawing frilly things, even. Though that's what I want to do in the long run.

I can relate to that on some level (too spaghetti to post on tumblr), but don't overthink it Anon. Just post your stuff and be done with it. The rest will follow. If you're good and draw either something popular or cater to a specific audience you'll be big in no time. If you doubt me, go to some fanart tags, see what shitty things get notes. You can do it to.

I always though art students were a bit more accepting towards alternative fashion?
Just tell them you like to dress frilly and that it's part of expressing your creativity. Start with something casual to get them used to it, and I'm sure with some time they won't mind it at all. If they absolutley can't handle you wearing a cute frilly dress then they suck anyway.

Why didn't they ask you if you want anything for your birthday? I think it's a bit impolite they didn't even ask if you are celebrating of if they could give you a small present.
Maybe next time just casually invite them for a night our or movies or whatever on your birthday and maybe you'll get some presents. Just mention it between the lines.

Once you are an adult, many people frown on requesting gifts for your birthday, I would just ask some friends out. Who knows, maybe as a nice gesture maybe they'll pick up the tab or something, but I would expect some quality time with them, celebrating, not presents, at that age (not trying to call you a babby, just explaining where your nerves might be coming from or why they might see it as a bit selfish).

It’s not that no one is talking to me, plenty of them talk to me, they usually are asking me for things though. It’s just I’m feeling so petty and jealous over their closer friendships, but it would be pathetic and sad to admit to feeling so alone whilst being part of a large social circle when I know there are people who are truly on their own. It would probably come across as attention seeking.

I have until Friday to get a call from him and to make up my mind, and I've left a voicemail to the HR specialist who've arranged my interviews.

If I wanted to apply to bus tables, I'd rather do it much closer to home - hell, I already do that at my other job (even though I'm specialized in other areas).

I seriously hope that I hear back from someone else about an internship I've been looking into.

Right now, I'm just feeling really impatient about finding a better job. I don't think I'm beneath this line of work, but I'm certainly over minimum wage. I wish I knew what the best way to finding one is because being over-educated certainly doesn't seem to be.

What the fuck do I even do. I don't want to break up with him but yet I SERIOUSLY think that maybe messaging you ex, the same one you cheated on me with, is not that great of an idea either.
On one hand, I don't want to be dictating who he can and cannot speak to but on the other I feel upset that it's her in particular that he's talking to.

I have low self esteem so sometimes I feel like I deserve all of this which is why I don't bring it up.

Listen to me. Asking him not to speak to her? That is the most timid, whipped response I've seen in a while. You have to break up with him. What I was saying is that are you willing to spend your life with a cheater? Think about the trap you'll fall into if you end up marrying this guy. You'll end up being the girl that people pity because of her asshole husband.

I felt that way too, that sometimes I'm overreacting, but I've come to realize that relationships are 50/50. I have to assert myself or I'll get walked on. Sometimes my bf does stupid shit and he needs someone (see: me) to call him out on it. Your bf didn't just do stupid shit, he stuck his dick into another girl and you're still with him and am afraid to speak to him about it.

Sweetheart that's how my last relationship went, except it wasn't LDR and we lived about 5mins from each other. He strung me and two other girls along for a year or two, insisting the other was the "crazy ex who won't leave (him) alone" and "look, I even blocked her on twitter!"
Dump. Him. I've been there and I am telling you 100% DUMP HIM. I didn't want to dump my cheating bf at the time because I was convinced I loved him since we'd dated so long and he was the first guy I was intimate with.
It took me way too long to realize "once a cheater, always a cheater" is true. You found out about this ONE time they've had sex. Who's to say they didn't fuck every day for a week before you found out about the one time he put his dick in her? He's going to do this over and over and even if you don't wanna dump him, for the love of god please dump him, you deserve so much better than someone who cheats.
I dumped mine and now I've got a wonderful man in my life who doesn't cheat and treats me a million times better than the ex ever did.

My friends gifted me a few lolita dresses that they said didn't fit or didn't look good on them. I was obviously pretty excited because I'm saving up for a few main pieces and only have a few little accessories here and there.

Well, they gifted me the ugliest, most ita dresses I have ever seen. The only decent one in the bunch was Bodyline's antique clock OP. They were so happy, because "bby's first lolita!!!" and they expect me to come to a meet with them soon. But I can't wear these dresses in public. I was mortified enough just trying them on.

I want to think their hearts were in the right place, but there's a part of me that thinks they're doing this to make themselves look better. They both have closets full of brand and were willing to let me borrow anything I wanted until I expressed interest in wanting to go to a meet in the future. I don't want to hurt their feelings, because I really do love them, but I really, really don't want to wear anything they gave me. I could make due with Antique Clock, but I'd have to buy things to coord with it but I feel it'd be a waste because I probably wouldn't wear it again. I don't know what to do.

Also another note, my ex called the other girls insane, crazy bitch whores behind their backs and did the same about me to them. He told me so many stories of the other girls, that they were suicidal and self harmed if he stopped talking to them for more than a day... Turns out he was a liar. He was trying to get me to believe they were crazy so I wouldn't believe a word they said to me and his lies and cheating would go unnoticed.
Do. Not. Date guys who insist on talking to the ex because they "feel bad" about their breakup. If they feel guilty for their "breakup" then he wants her still and you don't need that in your life.

I think it's nice that you want to help him ou! But if he doesn't want to there's nothing you can do. If he really tries to learn anything he'll eventually get better one day
Maybe you could ask him what kind of make up tutorial he uses, or offer to send him some tutorials? Disguise it as "Hey Brolita-chan, I saw some make up tutorial that sadly wouldn't look good on me, but I'm sure you'd look lovely with it!" Or try helping him out by not giving him the feeling that you want to do something for him, but maybe say "Hey Brolita-chan I'd love to do your make up, I have so many ideas and want to get more experience with make up by doing other people's make up!" or something like that.

Homestly, if you love it but are insecure, buy it and wear it, just don't wear it to meets or label it as lolita if you post photos anywhere.

You'd be surprised how draining this is. It can become really intrusive, especially when you barely know the person and they are messaging you all the time. I've been in situations where people who have been continuously messaged me via one medium have been able to find one of my other social media accounts (i'm not the type of person who posts endless links to them either so I have no idea how they found it) to start messaging me there instead. It's tiring and when you are working all the time while trying to balance studies and your personal life at the same time the constant harassment becomes more than a mere annoyance.

So I was hanging with some friends at uni today and a guy that I had been seeing for a while was there. We've been off and on more or less as fuckbuddies for the past two years, but there we some feelings and whatnot and things hadn't been bad between us lately. We were all having fun, good conversation, what have you, when he writes some note to his buddy that, judging by the other guy's reaction, contained something sort of offensive about all the girls at the table or something. We were all laughing and having a good time and started rough housing a bit, trying to get the paper when he sticks it in his mouth and my friend asks me to help her get it because "you're the only one who would touch his mouth anon!"
So I stupidly play along and he fucking bites me. Full on, skin bruising, bloody, I can almost feel my bone crushing bites my finger. And he acts all smug about it. I apologized for taking the rough housing too far and he just flat out tells me "I don't fucking care if you're hurt."

I feel so stupid to think I could have fun around him or that things could be normal again. I feel so stupid for wasting my time loving him and even more stupid because I know all this and I still can't stop and I'm sitting here bawling over the stupidest thing because I was an idiot and took things too far and it's probably my fault anyways but I can't help feeling more than just physically hurt.

This would be OT if it weren't for the fact that I'm embroidering a hat for a meetup tomorrow and now I can't finish it because my finger has puncture wounds and is purple and swollen and I can't grip the needle.

Don't say "hopefully soon". Set a goal, a due date.

I had a friend like you-- FWB and in love with an abusive asshole. She's still with him after two years.

I never try to talk with her about this anymore (or anything else at all anymore, really) because she always says that she "can't help it" or that she'll ignore his texts from then on but whatdoyouknow she then gives in anyway. One time after a heartfelt hours-long conversation she promised us to go no contact, she texted my fiance (we were mutual friends) about how she's in his room but it's okay because they only made out!

It's okay anon, sometimes I guess being harsh is the only way to get through to people. This is a really weird situation for me because I don't want a relationship with him, I just want us to have fun and enjoy each other the way we used to and idk why he's in asshole mode. I'm used to him being a little standoffish in front of our friends because he doesn't want them to know, but this behavior is really new. I've always prided myself on being a stronger woman, ditched the cheaters, didn't put up with shit and I was always the go-to when my friends needed encouragement on getting out of a relationship. I've never stuck around with a man who I thought was less than I deserved. So having love for someone in this way is...overwhelming and frightening and I'm not sure how to deal with it. I probably should have cut him out of my life all together a while ago but after this I'm...questioning it, at least.

Agreeing with this anon. Why bother with a guy that 'generally ignores you in public' and goes out of his way to nullify your relationship (sorry I mean *not a relationship*) in front of his friends? You even perceive that he seems ashamed to be with you, yet are somehow fine with that? Are you a labrador retriever?

All of this is besides the fact that he physically assaulted you in a grotesque way, and deliberately expressed his lack of remorse afterwards. He sounds like a psychologically unhinged freak that's been stringing you along with his 'sweetness', but can't bother to treat you with basic dignity because he's 'afraid of being hurt' which is a line of of bullshit that emotionally unavailable fuck boys use in order to get sex without any obligation to their partner. It sounds like he's had enough of you, and is in 'asshole mode' in order to drive you away.

Also what is this?
>when he writes some note to his buddy that, judging by the other guy's reaction, contained something sort of offensive about all the girls at the table or something.
You consider that to be humorous? And these are the same friends he likes to invalidate you in front of?

Anyways, you can either resolve that he can go fuck himself, or live your life as a passive victim. The choice is yours.

And yet all anyone cares about is that he's "acting cold" or "taking advantage of her".

They both agreed to have sex but you all can't stop thinking that he should owe her something in exchange for it. Like the idea of always using sex as a bartering tool is so deeply ingrained in your heads that when you hear about it happening any other way you react with confusion and anger.

It seems like whenever I befriend a man, 9/10 times they eventually confess that they're in love with me. And the sad part is, they're never the types that I would want to date. It makes me afraid to befriend guys because I hate turning people down, it makes me feel like an awful person.

I think it's mostly just because I'm really confused about my sexuality. It sounds stupid but I really can't tell whether I'm lesbian, bisexual, or straight. I just need to figure this shit out because I'm a pathetic KV and I'm sick of being alone.

You just don't do that unless the assailant is actually trying to kill you via jamming something down your throat.

And you think that this would be a legit relationship?
Even if you managed to shackle him down long enough, he doesn't love you.
I can't believe how many dumb ass gulls I've encountered who think just someone you be around and fuck is a relationship.
A relationship is a continual exchange between two people that happens naturally.
It's when two people can enjoy just spending time with each other regardless of what they do.
More importantly it's gotta have genuine love to it.

starving to death is bad. having your treasured belongings destroyed is also bad.

>> No.8276709

>>8276699
Yes.
Lets all give a little less focus to helpless children starving to death and give and give proper attention and pity to the first world woman who had the colors altered on a piece of clothing that she recreationally spent as much money as would feed the child for years.

both of their suffering is equally valid (although to be honest I still think the first world woman might actually have it a bit harder)

somebody should really send that child a dress and then wash it wrong so they can learn to properly empathize with the first world woman.

>> No.8276732

>>8276709
so you were distracted from your constant empathizing with supposed less fortunate (the dying babies must have been benefiting from that a ton) when you forced to see the first world content of this thread.

and yea, some girl in a poor country would totally love if her mom intentionally ruined for favorite dress for no reason.

i've been trolled, right?

i'm not even the anon with the dress.
i never said anything was as hard as anything either. everyone's suffering doesn't have to be compared to someone else's, anon. starving to death is pretty unpleasant, even though most would think it's infinitely better than being sadistically tortured for many years. you gonna go bitch at starving kids for being ungrateful now?

>> No.8276753

>>8276745
No because starving children don't generally try to rationalize how they have it just as bad as people being tortured and that anyone who tells them otherwise is just trying to troll them.

I think the point is that watching /cgl/ try to fish for sympathy by crying about their absolutely normal lives is pathetic.
Blogging about your problems on an anonymous imageboard is pretty lowly in itself, and making it about completely trivial shit is even worse.

I can assure you that there are thousands of people in worse situations than any of you on this site, who do not resort to blogging for attention.

i only come into these threads to read the occasional funny stories. i dont see the problem though if someone feels like mentioning some small event in their lives that pertains to the hobby of the board, that maybe someone else will then relate to.

>starving to death is bad. having your treasured belongings destroyed is also bad.
I would call 1 a minor annoying and 1 horrible suffering.
But you apparently think they can both just be grouped together under the exact same level of just "bad".

>> No.8276776

>>8276768
If they make it an entertaining story, and don't try to portray it as suffering, sure.
The problem is that people fish for sympathy, despite not having any real problems.

Is it hard for you guys to make friends with people? I want to make friends but i dress in jfashion. I have friends but whenever i feel close to someone at work, they eventually find out about my weird clothes and don't want to make a stronger connection with me outside of work. I don't dress bad...just over the top to them, i guess, even though i don't feel like i do. I don't want to negotiate either, because the clothes i wear are the only things keeping me alright lately. I want to be like "Fuck it, i dont need people who don't like the way i dress" but it's so hard for me to deal with being considered weird by my coworkers and family. I just wish i really enjoyed regular clothes and things.
Not to mention finding a partner is really tough too, seems like everyone around me is in love but i think i'm just too "out there" for that.. I don't even think i'm strange at all, i'm pretty normal, but i'm constantly outcasted and it sucks.

starving children? that's nothing

people are being tortured or born with diseases that cause endless pain until they die

I'm currently focusing my empathy 100% on that

try to top that!
