I hate myself and i want to die.
I feel like a huge fucking whale even though i fit pretty much all unshirred brand, but my body image of myself is just getting shittier and shittier. I want to always look good and feel good about myself, but also for the person i'm seeing who is involved in lolita too. I'm afraid if i don't always look on point they'll just become disinterested in me. they probably wont, but i feel like i'm drowning in a sea of insecurity. I never like how i look.... sometimes i put together something i'm really proud of and then once i see photos i want to cry because i don't look pretty like i felt and it just crushes me. I really really hate myself. .

Holy shit, are you me. I've just literally taken 100+ photos of myself and they all look like I'm dead or insane. I look perfectly fine in the mirror but any picture taken of me knocks my self confidence down to nil. I see pictures of girls online and they look so flawless (and I don't mean Photoshopped uguu, I mean normie pictures too)! It doesn't really help when people tell me to relax or get angry at me, it just makes me want to cry.

My family is always complaining that they don't have any photos of me, but every candid photo ever taken of me is ugly as fuck. I somehow always end up squinting while an extra chin appears out of nowhere and my nostrils take up half my face. Even other people have commented that I look like I'm high on something. I only look remotely acceptable in carefully posed pictures I've taken myself and even then it's maybe one out of fifty pictures that were actually taken. I try to practice photogenic expressions in the mirror but I somehow can't replicate these when anyone else is holding the camera. I always end up looking like Snotlout from HTTYD.
The more I look at pictures of myself, the more I want to save up for rhinoplasty.

For real though. I don't really relate to most of the community because I want to come off as neurotypical as possible and there seems to be little interest in coping mechanisms and getting your life together. I lucked out since I'm on the more neurotypical end of it, but I've had to work my ass of to come off as somewhat normal and I still slip up. I feel like if I got myself deep into the online community, I'd still be spilling spagetti left and right anytime I'd talk to someone and unable to leave the house.

>> No.8454061

Exactly, I didn't get diagnosed until I was 18 because I was acting pretty 'normal' up until the stress from school made me sperg out a lot more. Because of that I have, at times, a hard time accepting it and I'd love a community just focusing on things that suck and being able to vent, but also just generally things that can help one improve. It's proven that a lot of people with aspergers can learn social skills properly, it's just that kids who get diagnosed early in their lives seem to get treated differently by their parents etc. causing them to avoid learning how to behave normally.

I'd love to make an online community that isn't overrun by people with the mindset that they're better then neurotypical people, or ask questions so stupid it makes them fly off the autism chart.

Anon, I graduated last year with an arts degree and still haven't found a job. Granted, I have been majorly depressed for the last year and am now just getting over it. My depression is just a culmination of a bunch of things that were building up, but I'm getting through it now. My parents are amazing people and have been helping me and letting me live at home. Every now and then my mom and siblings rag on me for being useless and an embarassment to the family, but I worked a very demanding retail job for years and paid for my books and art supplies myself, and do a lot of things for my parents that they've really cut back on the comments. In compensation I fix things and do all of the yardwork.

So here I am, one year out of school, with no work, as all my school friends go on to move into big cities, regularly getting into big named galleries, getting flooded with freelance jobs, etc. And I'm stuck at home battling depression. Something that's helped me was accepting that people do things at a different pace. I was able to figure out in the last year what it is exactly that I want out of my degree, and how I am going to go about doing it. I could care less at this point in time how well off my friends are doing, because my own happiness is at the forefront of my mind. I'm going to redo my entire portfolio, I've began planning new projects. I have a few friends that send me encouraging texts and ask me regularly how I'm doing with whatever project I've mentioned. The one thing that makes me the saddest was that depression robbed me of the thing I loved doing most. I haven't drawn or painted in months. I am slowly starting off drawing a little each day, and I'm currently the happiest I've been in months. I feel more like me than I was a year ago.

Haha, I was actually diagnosed really early on (6-ish), but my parents pushed me fairly hard to be in social situations and whatnot. Even though I've known about it early on, I won't even mention it unanon because I hate the assumptions that come with it. Probably sucks finding out something like that about yourself later on, but it doesn't have to be a major part of your identity.

Also kinda wish that the community wasn't so much of a sasuage fest either, but not much you can do when most people diagnosed are dudes. There's a fair amount of things I want to improve on that seem girl-specific.

Good luck on that online community if you ever do try something though. Definitely something I'd be down for!

Stress has proven to cause weight gain regardless of calorie counting. Whatever negativity you're holding on to about your body you've got to try to snap out of it.
Don't give yourself time to focus on the bad. Take a 15 minute walk with music when you start to get a craving, do a set of crunches before bed if you cheated a little bit. If you start to have negative thoughts write down every positive quality about yourself and tell yourself that you're not a bad person just because of weight.

On the other side of things, my mom was obsessed with proving that myself and my siblings were all autistic for some reason. She's a fucking neurosurgeon and she based all her reasoning on that fucking quack that faked all his research and claimed that vaccines cause autism. She spent literal years of our lives subjecting us to every medical test she could think of despite our objections (we were too young to have any say, but a lot of them were painful and fairly traumatizing because of the setting/actions taken by attending nurses). When she wasn't doing that she was calling the school and telling them to give us special treatment, calling the parents of other kids and telling them that we were developmentally disabled and that their kids had to be friends with us, etc. it was fucking horrendous and I wouldn't wish that kind of behavior from a parent on anyone, least of all someone with aspergers/autism.

Eventually my brother got diagnosed with severe depression and ADHD, my sister with severe anxiety, and I myself got saddled with a diagnosis of paranoid personality disorder and mild OCD. We were all fucked up after all, but unfortunately not in the way that our mom hoped we would be.

No, they sweat just as much as we do (it's necessary to sweat and you have such glands all over your body no matter what humanoid you are, even Reptilians got em).

They just don't have the smell sweat glands. For some reason, they don't have the extra sweat glands that are only around armpits, belly and genital area that secrete some stuff that bacteria eat and when the bacteria shit it out on your skin, it smells.

The same gene that causes them not to have this smelly sweat also causes their earwax to be dry and flaky as opposed to our wet and tasty earwax.

Different anon but I'd really love to have a more female-friendly aspie community. It sucks to generalize but girls with Aspergers (particularly those who were diagnosed late but not always) seem so much more likeable than the guys. I've only ever met one aspie girl with the everyone-should-cater-to-me-neurotypicals-are-inferior attitude whereas the majority aspie men I've met were like this. Hell my boyfriend doesn't even have Aspergers and he sometimes still pulls this shit on my behalf.

That's reality for you kiddo.

Even if a girl is mentally challenged, fat or kind of ugly, she is still gonna get more attention from men (like 100 to 1000 times more) than let's say 7-8/10 men get from women.

Nobody is saying anything about attention from men you insipid virgo.

Anon is saying that she thinks girls with assburgers generally don't act like insufferable entitled cunts who think the world should cater to them because they've got a condition.

To that I'd add that it's probably because men get away with shitty behaviour a lot easier since childhood because it's expected of them, ie 'boys will be boys'. That becomes particularly dangerous when applied to speds. Spare the rod and all.

I have always been told I have BAP as I have a younger sibling with Autism and a father with BAP. I'm quite a social person and get along with a lot of people but often get called quirky or eccentric due to my taste in things, personality or language I use. I can blend in quite well so it's not that noticeable, I did have some very fascinating thoughts as a child and was fixated on specific animals or films. I have met many people with Aspergers and Autism both male and female. In general females who have autism aren't always diagnosed as their social skills or speech levels are close to their peers levels. The majority of females I have met who have been diagnosed are either very high function, very quiet or introverted, very curious about the world and have their own way of thinking or there have been a rare few who are boisterous, confused and quite unaware of what is appropriate socially. Whereas many of the males I have met are more aggressive, struggle more with social norms/making friends, very confused and some believe they are superior due to their syndrome. My younger brother is very polite person and is more lost and confused than anything he often feels like he missed all this information that everyone else just seems to know.

This is the second time I've taken a swing at my old nemesis, Butterick 5682. I tried it about six months ago and gave up in rage. I'm still somewhat of a beginner seamstress, but I gave it another try and I ran into the exact. same. issue. I don't know what it is about this pattern, but the fucking crotch always fits horribly. It's so unbearably tight, and it throws the whole waist area off. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I'm a simple woman. I have, to my knowledge, a normal crotch. There is no good reason why this should be happening to me.

I refuse to date guys who are into anime.

No, seriously.

All you are are either fat fucks or skinny meek faggots. You have no backbone, no impulsiveness about you, no desire to change yourselves, no aggressive or assertiveness and you think just because we like anime too we should suddenly fall into your arms. Can that stupid pipe-dream, we'll take a normal guy with a variety of interests (and yes, that may include sports - if he's athletic himself all the better) over a guy who is obsessive about anime any day of the week.

Personality wise you are either morose and lazy or 'intellectual' and pretentious. There is nothing down to earth about you whatsoever. The former likes to use his apathy as an excuse not to do anything and the latter likes to consistently harp on about philosophy, politics, psychology, history, science or whatever in the vain (and horribly obvious and subtleless) hope that we'll be impressed by his 'working knowledge' of such things. How about you gain a working knowledge of the female body first? What college you go to doesn't impress me at all, I'd be more impressed with a mechanic with a bit of masculinity than a meek, quiet little BOY who goes to an ivy league college, the elitism and fact your kind looks down upon people isn't helpful either.

Finally, yes I'm butthurt. I've lost a supposed 'friend' because he said my choice in partners (I don't do relationships at the moment, only 'mutually beneficial exchanges' shall we say) was 'awful' and went on a rant about it with the usual emo nonsense you'd expect from someone like that. What business is it of yours who I sleep with? Just because we share interests and are friends that is no reason for me to sleep with YOU.

I haven't really been feeling very great these past couple of weeks. Depression coupled with some complicated life and financial situations has rendered me really exhausted mentally and physically. The only time I feel like i'm doing something really productive and emotion lifting aside from work is when I work on cosplay and go to conventions. They've really become the only things I look forward to anymore. My hearts just been getting heavier and heavier lately and sometimes even working on the cosplays themselves isn't really enough to make me feel better. I love cosplaying and I love conventioning and I want to keep doing it because they're a huge part of my life and they make e happy. I love meeting people and being able to be somewhere else for the weekend, but I don't know how much longer i can keep this up before everything gets to me and I stop going to cons altogether.

Admittedly, Tumblr helped me too. I always knew I just wasn't into people but I didn't know it really had a name until a couple of years ago. When I found out I was able to call it something instead of feeling nervous about just not liking anyone it was a huge relief. I still get a lot of shit about it from people because 'thats impossible you have to like someone sex is natural' and all that bullshit, but I feel much better about myself knowing that there's no pressure on me about finding anyone to be with because i'm just not interested.

There's a difference between asexuality as a mental disorder and Asexuality as a "mmm, I am such a special snowflake, I won't be just heterosexual like everyone else, so I'll put [asexual/bisexual/'pansexual'/ - and BY FAR my most favorite in terms of retardation - 'DEMISEXUAL'] on all my profiles.

Asexual is typically used by female Tumblrites who are slightly above average in terms of attractiveness to automatically friendzone the endless stream of betas who inevitably respond to every picture they post with a stream of compliments.

Bisexual & 'Pansexual' are typically used by Tumblrites of both genders who are too ugly to get laid with the opposite gender, so they're pretending they're attracted to their same gender too (and still can't get laid). 'Pansexual' is used more often by women, bisexual more often by men.

And the best of them all, 'demisexual', is like the jackpot of special snowflakeness.

"Uhm...sorry, I am only sexually attracted to people that I'm deeply connected with emotionally and romantically. I know it sucks but that's just me, so unique, I need True Romance to feel sexual attraction sorry. ;("

I saw it used more often by "men" (if you can call Tumblr lingo using males that) who are Tumblr famous (in their own tiny circlejerk communities that is) but it should be probably near 50/50.

TL;DR - saying that you're anything but heterosexual or homosexual makes you look like an intellectually immature special snowflake brat. Bisexual may be a legit orientation too but it was ruined too much by the 12 year olds at this point, so there's no telling if it's serious or special snowflakes.

I can't wait for the day that /cgl/ also adds cis*/trans* to the "Male/Female" selection in the cosplay suggestion chart. That will be the final nail in the coffin.

Holy shit this, I can't stand the term "demisexual". It makes absolutely no sense; you're still hetero/homo/bisexual and people just have varying degrees of how they are and can be attracted to someone else. It's not a separate sexuality.

Other terms that seem to be abuse too often are "non-binary" and "genderfluid". I'll accept that there's a very small percentage of the normal population that is legitimately so, but when every other profile I look at is announcing you're that ~special~, I stop taking you seriously.

Nice try landwhale. I am not 'pissed over someone claiming they're not sexually attracted to anyone'. Nobody gets pissed over naive lies that could maybe fool a 5 year old girl. The point is that calling yourself Asexual has nothing to do with sexual attraction, it is just a special title that underage turds (or people with an underage mentality) on Tumblr use either to explain why they are still permavirgin landwhales / cuckolds or by typically 5.5 to 6 outta 10 females who are not used to getting attention from males in real life (since they're not pretty enough to warrant that) and they don't know how to handle it so they just call themselves Asexual to friendzone the Betas automatically. It is insulting to the actual people who have the asexual mental disorder (emphasis on >mental disorder< again), who are most likely less than 0.1% of the population.

It's a lot like Tumblrites (wow, it sure is a gift that keeps on giving isn't it?) calling themselves 'survivors' or 'rape victims' because they had a dream about being raped or because they were accidentally touched by a man once. It's insulting to actual rape victims (you know, those who get violently penetrated / sexually abused against their will).

>You need to calm down.
You need to kill yourself or at least get the fuck off 4chan. I don't understand why you mistakes of nature had to come to /cgl/. You turned this board from pretty much the only forum of it's kind (for topics like cosplay) into just another Tumblr shithole / hugbox.

You can't even call someone fat on /clg/ anymore without them getting triggered. May God help you if you actually criticize someone's pathetic, embarrassing cosplay. The only criticism that is allowed is "constructive criticism" which is Landwhalespeak for "complimenting me but also telling me maybe what small details I could improve".
