I have this same problem. Whenever I try to confront someone spontaneously I always trip over my words and sound like a dumbass.

I know this sounds cliche as hell but do what the other anon said and practice. Come up with the best fucking comeback you can think of and say it over and over again to a friend or to a mirror until it's stuck in your mind. Works every time for me, but just make sure it's not too long or complicated because that makes room for major sperging.

Lately i've become obsessed with Kotakoti, let me clarify, not the actual one doing modelling stuff in japan,wearing all pastel stuff,... the old one. When /cgl/ was still having threads debating about it. I made her room back in america (plan of it),a list of all her clothes and accessories and shoes,... with most that i liked, lots of pics of her and i often do her in the dressup dolls games along with PT, Venus,...I do not wish to be her nor do i wish to be famous but i have this weird obsession with her that calms me. On the other hand i also have something similar with old venus angelic, and a bit of Xiaorishu. But i didn't really got obsessed with them, it just makes me feel...relaxed? Comfy? Having items that they had, listening to their old videos,finding videos they deleted,music they use...It's like an escape somehow. Little weeb me used to find them so cool, wish to have venus angelic "pretty doll hair and clothes", dakota's "face and clothes", xiaorishu's "cuteness",...I don't know what is happening to me. I used to be obsessed about a sweet lolita back in 2011 until she stopped to.
What is happening to me /cgl/? What do?

There is a cosplay event this saturday and there's a cosplay event the 5th of july but i have no cosplay friends so i can't go i know id just be standing awkwardly a few meters next to everyone else them with their backs to me and itd just make me feel so lonely also i have no wig so cant really make any proper cosplays for anything this summer. also there's a con at the end of august that i kind of want to go to too but facebook events dont work anymore so cant say im interested because theyll think im actually going because facebook considers them the same thing.

also worked a lot on a cosplay thing last weekend and its almost finished its in a wearable state and it looks amazing when other people wear it but when i look in the mirror it looks like shit but thats probably just how it is you just need to look from a different angle but the real problem is i had another look at the source material and i tlook sa bit inaccurate but it's good enough for people to recognize so i should just be happy. tomorrow i want to use my grandparents sewing machine to finish the last parts i need to do to wear it. oh but it also requires accessories to work properly but ill probably try to wear it in the city this friday because its awesome /)^3^(\

The painful truth is that some people aren't worth your time. Someone once gave me some advice that I live by now and I'm gonna give it to you: Never be someone else's second choice.

You are a beautiful unicorn of a person (who is obviously very giving) and you deserve friendships and love interests who are on your level. Do not settle for people in your life who hurt you. Me personally I would much rather be alone than be with people who make me feel alone. Keep strong and know your worth.
Love you.

>> No.8394024

>>8392101
That sucks. In the future though, don't give things of great value to your crush. It makes things very very awkward since they will feel obliged to give something of equal value back and since they probably know you like them romantically, they might feel as though you're pressuring them into giving you affection. All in all, it's just not a good idea all around. As for the friend of almost 8 years, well, I guess that's just bad luck.

Anon why do you keep posting about your Kota obsession? Especially when a lot of anons have had lengthy non-judgemental discussions with you and one even started talking to you off-board.
It seems to me like you feel subconsciously there's something wrong with your obsession, so you keep posting about it here to (hopefully) get nice responses to ease your worries. It doesn't really sound like you want opinions or advice, just for people to tell you they can relate so you feel less alone.
You need to stop, you need to seek help, and you need to learn new coping methods. You wouldn't be talking about it nonstop if you didn't think it was bad for you in some way.

I just want her to calm down. She's talking about "savings accounts" like I'm going to be making big bucks (lelno) and pretending like I don't have $20k student loan debt to pay off. I've even treated my bf and I to a $100 dinner which I've put on my credit card recently because I've become so apathetic about the next five years that I'll spend solely paying off my debts. I've thought about buying more lolita with it too.
I'm becoming so numb and depressed. I feel like I have no dreams or aspirations right now. I'd be satisfied just to make a measly paycheck.
Nobody except my bf knows about this because I don't talk about these kinds of personal problems to anyone.

Dude, don't be discouraged! Moving back in with your parents after school is the absolute worst! Deff been there and done that, After you move out, it'll be a hundred times better! Just ignore them for the time being, try to save up and get out as fast as you can! Without being reckless of course. Parents just never want their babies to grow up, and when you move back in after being independent for a few years, their "nurturing" (overbearing) nature clashes with the independence you've gotten used to while living and managing on your own. You'll make it through!!! Best of luck to you! It'll all turn out for the best in the end!

Just an idea, but how about unpaid internships?
If you're unemployed and not getting any money you have nothing to lose and usually companies love unpaid internships. That's a way to boost your confidence (since you're working at something), get something for your resumee and sometime's a company might hire you after they see how good you work.

I lost my only friend, started looking for new ones instead of moping and being lonely. Recently met someone into J-fash and a ton of other stuff I like too. We got along so well it's crazy.
"Anon do you use CGL? You should try it."
"No I'm don't think I'm interested in that. I've never been there."
"Anon plz try it, just go on there it's not as bad as everyone says. You have to give it a chance. It's fun."
I start coming here and I hate it. I don't like negativity, and it's hard not to see it because it usually pops up even in the non-drama threads. It surprised me she'd want me to come here so badly because when we first met I told her I'm sensitive and a positive person. I keep coming here anyway because friend wanted me to so badly and I keep hoping I'll eventually see where the pro's outweigh the con's.
Suddenly the friend starts acting funny with me. Starts getting really rude with me over little things. Suddenly if I don't like the same thing she does I get backlash for it. Turns out this friend is the kind of person that you have to agree with on everything or you're not good enough for them.
Get out of there ASAP when I realize this isn't a person I want to be friends with, which was easy because it turns out friend was done with me anyway and wanted to dump me, and I'm leaving CGL/4chan for good as soon as the couple threads I'm watching autosage because I still can't stomach the toxic attitude this place has.

I feel sad that this didn't work out, but I'm relieved, don't even care that I'm going back to being a loner. Sorry for the wall of text but I needed to get that off my chest. It's a bit embarrassing that she might see this but I didn't do anything wrong and I think she knows she was a real jerk to me.

You only focus on the negativity because you want to. You can easily ignore and scroll past the salty bitches and use the advice other helpful anons give.
Ever since I started coming here more often, I no longer feel like a complete idiot about how to browse and buy from taobao, gotten pretty cute things from ebay that anons have shared, learned a fuck ton about several different jfashions, found out about a load of different stores (including second hand) where I could find nice pieces for said jfashions for good prices, gotten advice related to jfashion and cosplay, direct myself to the horror stories whenever I'm bored, saved a whole lot of inspiration photos for coords and drawing, etc.

You do you anon. I used to think I'd do anything to have lots of friends but after getting burnt several times I've decided to filter out all the toxic people out of my life. No friends is better than friends who always drag you down.

Just remember that you're in no obligation to be friends with someone who makes you feel bad or uncomfortable and that you should think of yourself first instead of caring about hurting their feelings. I'm not saying you should be rude, but if they get really buttmad it's none of your business and you shouldn't avoid hurting others' feelings if it's at the expense of your own. Not everyone is gonna like you and not everyone's gonna think nice things about you, and that's okay. Especially not people who have a habit of bitching about every single thing and nitpick others' appearances like many here do.

Cheers, and good luck.

The thing is, we only ever rented out to Jehovah's Witnesses. The American's were always super respectful for this reason as were almost everyone else we rented out to. The Spaniards on the other hand were also Witnesses but they had no respect for me or my property for whatever reason. The person who was in charge of finding the renters said he always had an issue with Spaniards in particular because it was apparently very commonplace that they would ruin people's property and find an excuse not to pay for it.

I went on a pretty drastic doctor-ordered diet and exercise regimen about a year and a half ago. I had to make major healthy dietary changes and I lost a good 40 pounds while on it. I'd say my acne cleared up ever so slightly, unfortunately it just never went away completely. I was still having 6-10 major spots on my face every week. My back is still the worst.

It's funny you mention neosporin because that's what I like to use on some of the zits haha. It works okay, but in general my skin takes so long to heal that I've got a new spot before the old one has healed.

I know it kills the bacteria that causes the acne and i think because it does involve burning (I've had laser done for removing freckles and stuff like that and its the same laser) it might actually take care of the oil problem over time but I'm not fully sure. What I do know is she has cleared up EXTREME cases of acne where medication had failed BUT she is also the best in the business and no on else does her technique so where you get yours done might not have the same results as her clients. It will still work as long as your doctor isn't incompetent though. It would also be a good idea to look at your diet and see if possibly, your eating foods that would make the oil production worse.

Anon who is currently on Accutane right now, reporting in! Accutane is usually suggested by your dermatologist as a last resort, when all other methods of treatment and medication don't work. I would say my acne was moderate, but then again it just smacked me out of no where and gave me a face full of painful purple cysts, and wrecked all of my self confidence to the point where I quit my job and haven't really left my house in months. Having the dermatologist as "what are your thoughts on Accutane" was like a miracle, because during all of my other treatments I told myself "I don't need Accutane, I refuse to go on it." Well joke's sure on me because I jumped on that offer, I was at my wit's end.

I have heard horor stories from my cousin who is a doctor, online, my dermatoligist herself, my pharmacist. However, everybody reacts to the medication differently, and anything more than dry skin and lips and sun sunsetivity is rare. I had myself so worked up before starting it that I couldn't sleep at night and had trouble eating. Then I started it (do not get me started on that second pregnancy test, take the online test, HAVE to meet the 7 day window your first month! bullshit), and a month later my symptoms were:
>dry skin
>dry lips
That's it.

However, my dermatologist is amazing. She had me start off on the lowest dose, 20mg, monitered me to see how I reacted, and then bumped me up to 40mg. I can honestly say that I do not regret going on it. I am currently in my third month (still on 40mg, we are going to see if I should continue at this number or go up to 60mg), and I am happier than I have been in months. I experience the occasional muscle ache (it just feels like I am stiff and need to stretch), or mood swings (I am sometimes more irritable). My skin is currently better than it has been in months, and my mom pretty much cried when she saw how well it was clearing up because she was so happy for me. I do not regret going on it.

A few years ago I posted some really mean things about a girl I sort-of-knew on /cgl/, entirely out of jealousy. She's not like, J-Nig or anyone so it went completely unnoticed, but she saw it, and later I found out that she was really upset by it.

Kids, learn from my mistakes. Don't vendettafag. In the end it does nothing but make you feel petty and bullyish.

I really wish I could take it all back but now I feel like the only thing I can do is be as friendly as I can to other people in my comm in the hopes that one day I might make up for it.

Update on earlier post: Contacted seller, they've gotten back to me and have apologized. They asked for some pictures of the sizing error, which I sent to them, so I'm really hoping they'll get back to me so I know if they included the wrong size part altogether or the top was just incorrectly constructed. Either way, this makes me a little bit nervous since another cosplay I have coming in the mail is also from the same seller, and I'm hoping the size of all the parts will be correct this time.

I feel like my entire joy out of lolita was striving to get my dream dress. Growing my wardrobe, meeting wonderful people, etc, was just the build up to getting my grand finale which would be Misty Sky.

Now I finally have it, I feel I dunno... empty. Sure, I feel ecstatic now that I finally have it, but I've achieved what I always wanted to and now there's nothing left to do. I don't even know if I want to carry on being a lolita. This was not the feel I wanted to feel.

You just go out and do shit. Talk to people more. Small talk is hard and shit and I still struggle with it from time to time, but the more you do it the easier it gets.

Before I became more sociable, I volunteered at my local zoo. It was painful trying to talk to people about animals and educating adults and children alike. I barely knew how to talk to anybody, even people close to me. Animals were a safe medium, because I had a passion for them and if anything went bad I would just hug a nearby goat and feel a little better. There are times when I had to excuse myself to cry in the restroom because I was so awkward and my anxiety would take over. But I kept forcing myself to do it and eventually it became second nature. In turn, this helped me adapt to the outside more. I even got a couple retail jobs and those REALLY forced me to learn to talk to people. After that, everything got easier. Customer service is absolute shit but it really pushed me to improve my lifestyle. Not saying you gotta go to that sort of extreme (seriously customer service is fucking terrible), but you gotta push yourself a little to do the things you're not good at.

Can you volunteer anywhere as well? Join a club or two? There are probably places online that offer support and you can google some shit there first, so you can slowly get used to talking to people. Sometimes the way to get over something you're not good at, is to just do that thing. Do it until you're good at it, even if you fall and mess up every single time. Take some risks. Some people think they're happy in their little bubble where nothing can go wrong, but you're not actually "living" at that point. But things will get better over time. I don't mean to assume you're unsociable, whether that's the case or not. But I learned that the more you take the time to be around people, the easier a lot of things get in life.

Thank you for your suggestion!I get along with animals too but nearby there would be some cat or dogs shelters. Volunteer would be good, but i should check online. Or instead get a job and move from my town where i feel i'm in the middle of nowhere. Also... if i get into reading books would be a good thing and join clubs. Something that doesn't need special social interatcion and i can meet new friends. Btw, a blog would help me to improve social skills and meet people? I considered to get more into lolita and other jfashion and writing also good posts. Some people says becoming known online helped them to meet people.

I did my first cosplay photoshoot last year at a con , and I loved it and loved getting good photos of my cosplay. My photographer was really kind and we found a great location for the shoot, so I ended up very happy with the results.

I wanted to schedule her again this year since she put up an advertisement for photoshoots so I shot her a message (via tumblr, tumblr's message system is a good bit fucky) and she hasn't responded and her blog hasn't updated.

I really liked her photos, but since she hasn't responded should I start looking for a new photog?

That's a good start. Just meet people who have things in common with you and it'll help too. Clubs would be a good start. Or can you volunteer at your local animal shelter or something? You'd be surprised how welcoming and understanding a lot of people can be. I dunno if it's just my area, but a lot of people accepted me for being who I was. I was really surprised.

A blog would help you sort your feelings out, but I think whether it'll help you or not depends on how many people would reply to it. Maybe if it's a part of a bigger community? I don't really know much about blogging so..

Talking to people online can only help so much. A lot of my past interactions with people were purely online, but I realized it didn't help much when I went out into the real world and couldn't talk to people the same way face to face. I think maybe if you eventually meet those people online offline? Of course you have to realize that some people are different online than they are in real life. I met up with some guildmates from an online game I used to play religiously at Anime Expo a few years back and they were completely different people. It's not like they were role-playing or whatever, it's just that a lot of them were more comfortable online than offline so they were super shy in real life. There's nothing wrong with socializing online, but remember to eventually take the next step and try things off the internet too.

also about a year ago they had a "world's fair" event at school, I had my name written in Arabic on an index card for shits n giggles. a few weeks ago I came across it on her bedstand. At first she tried to pretend that she didn't know what was going on, but then she admitted that she thought I was joining a terrorist gang. SHE SERIOUSLY THOUGHT THAT I WAS JOINING A TERRORIST GANG

My dad wasn't that bad, but after my mom passed he'd get drunk and trash my room every once in a while and tried to break my computer and keyboard, yell, etc he's also bipolar.

I moved out into my boyfriend's house after the last and probably 6th? time trashing my room.
You really should do the same, that environment isn't mentally/emotionally healthy anon.

In my case my dad stopped drinking like an alcoholic and is taking meds. He's still bipolar and can be a bit of a dick, but it's not constant walking on glass and emotional abuse now.

If someone hits on you just say thanks and then keep walking. If it's creepy catcalling just ignore it.
If someone is very insistant just say "sorry, but I have a boyfriend" and walk away, or if they really piss you off say "fuck off."
Also, pretending to text can deter dudes from talking to you since you look occupied. Or if someone keeps it up, do the murder walk past them and ignore them, that way you don't have to deal with them.
I'm the same as you, I couldn't really be bothered to fix myself up when I was younger, but once I hit college I began to put in some effort. I didn't regularly wear makeup (too tired, no time) but I guess I'm pretty enough without it. I'm kind of anxious in social settings, so I just do the murder walk a lot of times when I'm in public so no one bothers me, and lo and behold I don't walk into anyone. It can also sometimes have the reverse affect, like people looking at you just because you're not slouching. You instantly look 100xs better when you walk back straight and confident.
Just be confident in yourself and politely reject them. "Sorry, but I already have feelings for someone else, we've been dating for a while."
"I have a boyfriend" is always a classic.

As a guy who has had his share of rejections maybe I can offer my own perspective.

The worse thing you can do is panic or freeze up. I would rather get a "Who the fuck are you to talk to me?" look than the uncomfortable silence when a girl doesn't know what to do making it awkward for both of us.

The actual words you say in the rejection aren't important most of the time, most guys will read the situation and accept them as a white lie. If you think the person is the type that is going to look for inconsistencies as if they can debate you into going out with them then you need to be blunter and firmer in your rejection.

This is one reason why I would rather ask out a really hot girl, they tend to have more practice so afterwards you don't feel like crap.

Holy shit grow a fucking pair and kick his ass out. If he's put you thousands of dollars in debt then get his ass out of your life. Homeless shelters exist for a reason and they help people get jobs. At this point in time it's better for him to have someone at the homeless shelter hold his hand to get him work, than for him to sit around and know you're too much of a little bitch to actually do anything about him, and he'll just keep taking advantage of you. Also he can just go to his parent's house or couch surf with friends, he won't actually be homeless, just mooching off of someone else. Stop mollycodling him when he's stealing from you and draining you financially like that.

I work for a public health office. Most of my work is driving to restaurants and schools and evaluating the staff on anything that can spread disease and making corrections. The work load is pretty damn light and there is little supervision. It's not very glamorous, but its a decent job.

It was mine too. I was with her since may of 2010, and I guess their affair started in 2013 when I went to London. When I got back stateside we had dinner together with his gf and the hypothetical struck me. Just popped in there. Then 2 ish years later, a month ago, he comes over and gets way too tipsy watching game of thrones. he spills his guts, about how guilty he feels but also how he loves her and can't let me marry her. she darts into the hall ballroom and locks the door. our fight about it was thus follows "so you really did it? yes but accodentally! For two years? im sorry im sorry etc."
The ring is already returned, and here I am, my husky and drawing desk facing the open window and summer rain.
I was terrified of this months ago, now I don't want to ever move again.

Jesus... I'm so sorry.
I'm not even scared of being cheated on per se, I don't care if I'm with someone for some months and they turn out to be a massive wanker who sticks his cock into everything with a vagina. Good riddance, I say!

But to string someone along for 2-3 years, gain their trust, make them believe you actually care for their feelings and then do something like that, that's just despicable.

I get even hopelessly falling in love with someone, you can't control your emotions but then just break up before you do something retarded. This is just cruel, going behind your SO's back.

I've had such shite luck with both friends and (both) boyfriends, I'm sure there's lovely people out there but I'm too scared of ending up with some retard again. Especially now that less and less people (particularly men) want to get married and many guys I've talked to expect a nympho gymnast in bed.

Worst thing is when they claim it had been an 'accident'... You accidéntally tripped and fell on his cock? Surely it takes more steps than that to cheat on someone...

Stop acting like a little kid and grow up. Seek therapy and learn new ways to cope with your frustration.
Somehow at some point in your life you learned that yelling and screaming is the best way to deal with things, but clearly that's not entirely true. You need to learn another way to handle those emotions or else you're going to be a single pissbaby for the rest of your life, and no one will want to play vidya with you.

Well they had a Vent, so I knew what they sounded like. And they had pictures.

...now that you mention it that was a very dangerous situation I put myself in, ha. But I was younger then and really stupid. At least everything turned out ok, more or less.

What kind of a university has no clubs? Well, anyway, I'm sure there are other ways to search for groups. You'd also be surprised on what you can find on Facebook. A lot of local groups and events will often advertise on Facebook. Even if you don't have a faggy account like the rest of the world, it won't hurt to look.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and now I'm just afraid that more people are going to pull out of meeting up later. I feel like the worst admin, but I still don't know what I should be doing instead. For one meetup, I did give little notice, and that was completely fair on people for not turning out, it was my bad, but for other meets I just don't know. I really want to organise an afternoon tea this summer, since we do one every year, but I'm just terrified that I'll take numbers, book ahead, and everyone will pull out the day before. My confidence was knocked a bit last year when I spent a few weeks putting together a meetup that everyone expressed interest in, it would've been our big end-of-summer meet. I traveled alone there to check everything out, had prices for everything from travel to lunch afterwards, it was all pretty cheap for what it was, and everyone pulled out a week or two before.
My head is still stuck in my first meetup with the comm a few years ago, where there was a huge turnout and I was in awe of everyone, but so many of those people have either left Lolita, left the comm, or just don't show anymore. I guess I'm comforted by the fact that the people who are starting to come to meets a lot are those who are either newer in the community or who didn't used to come along as often before, so it's sort of like a new generation trickling in. I love my comm, I really do, and I hope we're about to hit some sort of participation renaissance or something.

How go you think those people got to the point of being able to live with negativity?

Do you think they got it by running away?

If you avoid negativity every time you see it, you will never truly examine yourself, you will never be able to grow as a person, and you will never grow thick skin against those who will go out of their way to hurt you.

4chan is training grounds for the cruelty of the real world. You don't have to like it, but it will make you stronger.

Running away never will.

If you want to get into someone's pants and have no interest of befriending them - don't befriend them. Try to make it clear that you're romantically interested and whatever you invite her to do is meant as a date. Don't expect her to understand that helping her make costumes is your idea of a first date.

Being straight edge does not prepare someone well for the day that eventually comes, when something which is fucked up enough happens so that the only way to get over it is to regularly get drunk for a while, to help facilitate a sort of psychological regression back to before it happened. I know this, I was one of those people who would not touch alcohol as a teenager or during my early 20s. Only this year have I regularly been drunk.

That never happens to me. Sometimes, though, after a while, I'll be like 'in this game, I fight the bad guys, and save the world, and in real life, I am sitting here, looking at a screen and pushing buttons', and that little moment of self-awareness and self-consciousness will bring me back to thinking about my life. Also, I only play video games by myself, since I mostly play single-player games, and as for multi-player games, of course I have no experience at those games, so it's a given that if I played those games socially, I would just get wrekt over and over again, so I just don't. You are kind of the opposite of me.

Also, you are very inconsiderate to your bf.

Reminds me of a friend I had in my high school circle who insisted nobody argue or yell around her because she was reminded of her divorced parents arguing.

Maybe you could tone down your rage, but then again, maybe your bf could also learn that certain games make you more angry than others and just not be around you during that time. My bf rages on certain PC games, so if I don't like his attitude I just find something else to do until he's done. We're not attached to the hip, and if we want to we can find stuff to do independently.

I feel like he's never happy with what I make for him either, and he tells me to do it better and when I ask what specifically is wrong with it he's just "I don't know! I don't do this stuff!"

Online interaction does help, but it might be better to join an IRC channel or play a TTRPG online or such. Blogs aren't really direct communication, and a lot of blog sites are invested with tumblr types who will molly coddle you and probably prevent you making any meaningful progress on overcoming your anxiety by drowning you in sympathy (the same way people who go overboard with "love your body" stuff are extremely harmful to overweight people who might otherwise be fixing their weight problems).

Whenever I think of myself in the future with a medical job I imagine myself coming home and having a breakdown because I hate it so much.
