Please let's try to keep it /cgl/ related this time.
Going first:

>i have this nasty habit of feeling like such a special snowflake for wearing kawaii shit (not full on OTT, i don't like OTT anything tbh)
>i even look down on basic bitches for looking bad and sneering at me like "ugh such basic bitches, leggings and Uggs so boring i'm so much cuter and speshul"

Also
>there is this lolita i had a problem with because her kawaii azn crush told me i was cute in front of her and how he kinda fancied me
>ever since she hated me and told shit about me like how i look like a fish,am ugly,...
>now it's constant but toned down rivalry
>i was really annoyed but now i take a secret pleasure in being cuter in pics,having a prettier wardrobe,prettier room,...
It's so superficial i'm ashamed but that's a good feel for when i'm feeling down.

I wear lolita for attention.
I don't believe anyone truly dresses for themselves. You dress a certain way because you want to express yourself so others can view you the way you want - not so you can. When people do things to feel pretty, it's not just because they want to feel pretty about themselves but because they feel good when others regard them as beautiful.
I also get very jealous of other people in my comm and wish they would take me to their house and let me play dress ups in their clothes.

For me it's a bit of both. Even if other people find what I'm doing ridiculous I still feel like a spiffy, fashionable girl at the end of the day. And I do it because I can, and I prove to myself and others that I can.

Oh well that too. But you don't feel like a spiffy fashionable girl because just of what you are wearing, it's because of what society/other people view as that and have impressed onto you.
I wear lolita because I enjoy it. But I enjoy it because of other people.

I would actually love to take some of the members of my comm with smaller wardrobes to my house and dress them up. I've done it once before, and watching their face light up as they see how cute they are in different pieces makes my heart melt.

I can't wear lolita or anything because i still live at parent's house and they are crazy strict, they don't even know i'm lesbian. They would throw me out. I dress kinda tomboyish with large dark clothes because i have low self confidence.
But i went to a friend's house (spoiled brat,she used to be my friend but she is really psycho...i got enough of her last week, she would always put me down by "you're always so cute,you make me feel like shit, stop talking to me" or telling me to "shut the fuck up" when i tried to tell her that it was not true...so i finally told her off and stopped trying to comfort her, take my poorfag money to buy cute snacks for her when i saw her or even end up in tears from her mean comments "you pissed me off by having so many comments on your new pic so i'm tempted to tell you something really mean")
she told me i was going to be her "doll" for the day and it was a dream come true. She dressed me up in adorable (yet not OTT) sweet lolita, i couldn't stop twirling and for one rare time, feeling cute and pretty and smiling and taking pics and my eyes would be all shiny and i would shyly ask "c-can i try this one on?" "can i touch this accessory?" and fawn over all her pretty pastel stuff.
It was a good day.
Well until she threw a fit later that day because she lost a pink sweater out of her sight at the store where there was a sale and became mean to me because it frustrated her. Meh.
I just want to be pretty and cute and have friends. She was my only friend in real life.

A coworker invited me and some of his friends out for a fancy dinner and told me to "dress up". I wore lolita and he was rubbing on me the whole night. We later hooked up in his car, I was in full lolita, petticoats everywhere.

He turned out to be a real douchebag and sex just wasn't satisfying with him. I've since sold basically everything I've worn that night (blouse, skirt, even the jewelry) just to make myself feel better.

Part of the appeal of lolita and jfashion for me is to look like an anime girl. It's not the only reason I like it, but it's significant.

I had a friend who lives far away stay with me for a while, and told her I would dress her up. She's larger than me, and asked if that would be okay, and I said I had dresses with shirring, so it would be fine. This was like a month before she came...When I saw her irl, while she's not fat by any means, she's built stocky with MUCH larger boobs, so I pretended I forgot about it so that she wouldn't stretch my brand.

tbh, I think you're just putting yourself down. If you enjoy putting on and coordinating clothes, you obviously enjoy the art of the fashion as well. If you just bought full AP sets and sold them after wearing them once, you would just be an efame whore.
You're totally right about dressing to look beautiful to other people. It's a slippery tumblr slope, but it is true.

Also: what is this weird notion about lolita fashion=princess=frills=beauty. Especially among lolita-at-hearts, "I want to be a frilly princess too so what if I have to buy from milanoo". It's obviously a lot easier to justify looking weird by saying that it's a particlar fashion, but other than that, I don't get it. Why not just buy cute forever 21 clothes and call it a day.
Petition to end use of the word "frills". The only super frilly dresses are sissy dresses.

Nyart, but I understand the whole "not wanting to be around people who have to yell to have a conversation" thing. I hate having to go to noisy places so I can empathize.

>>8585343
What I can't empathize with, though, is keeping someone from doing things they enjoy, or seeing family. BBQ's aren't a bad idea, and food poisoning happens. Joking happens too, which is actually acceptable, but "you can't go because I'm paranoid" is taking things a little far.

I feel like I have psychological withdrawal symptoms when I don't buy something. I've only been in Lolita for 2 years and I buy something every month, whether it's a dress or just a few tiny accessories. Usually during the summer months I have a ton of conventions and I still cosplay so I don't wear it, but I stock up on artist alley jewelry.

This summer, I bought one dress and a pair of shoes two months ago and have not bought anything since. I've been getting insanely depressed and haven't been able to sleep, and I've been feeling nauseous and exhausted and anxious from barely being able to eat. I reserved a dress next month, although I'm going on out of town trip and shouldn't buy more, but I feel like I have some weird sort of drug. I think it's because my ban lasted 2 (technically 3) months instead of the usual 1 (which is usually 30 days across the end of one month and the beginning of the next). I didn't think I had a shopping problem, and I really don't care about buying other things, but Lolita has really fucked up my perception.

not a lolita, but i have been wearing altfash since i could obtain my own clothes. i used to be a little oblivious to how it looked to other people and just did what i liked for my own aesthetic sense, the same way i would decorate my room or customize my computer desktop. but the more i realized i stood out, the more i toned my style down.

i realize now that i want to enjoy alternative looks without people i don't like looking at me. i am very reserved in most social situations, but wearing my own style when among people whose company i enjoy, i feel like myself. dressing differently would misrepresent who i am.

There's a girl in my comm who volunteers to take everyone's pictures a lot. Generally people like it because it's free and no work on their end. However the girl is notorious for not giving anyone any previews before she spams the pics all over people's public walls, and sometimes they're really unflattering even though the color has been touched up and at least there aren't visible zits.
I just get salty because she has complete shoop control over hers so she always corrects her makeup and pushes in her jowls to make her face slimmer before posting. Obv anyone who complains will look rude and entitled, and even if they do shoop afterwards, the original picture has been spammed so it'll be too obvious what editing they did.

People can then grab them from the event page and do what they want with them. I don't feel comfortable editing other people's pics and any photo of me that is put up on the event page is unedited as I feel it's a dick move otherwise.

>>8584946
me too! I wish my wardrobe was bigger and varied enough to do that. If I had never sold my pieces since I seriously got into the fashion to now, I think I would have one as big as MilkyFawn's. I have a growing number of young newcomers who seriously want to get into the fashion, but it's a hard thing to do when you're still in high school or just out of it.

Someday I'll have a big and varied enough wardrobe and a big enough house to be able to doll up a new comers and have a pleasant, in house tea party with.

I've "paid for pixels" before, most notably on poupee girl (which as you guys might know went belly up). That was back when I had really low self esteem and thought I was too ugly for any jfashions, so I dressed up my avy instead. I don't regret the money I spent, because it was fun for me in that moment. It's kind of like going to the movies. You don't own a copy of that movie so why bother right?

You don't have to be pretty. You need to be worldly, a little bit vapid, good at conversation, and very tolerant. Unless you're a total 4/10 sperg you got a chance. I meet a ton of rich older guys through work, lots that work in trading, private security etc. I get propositioned all the time. They want someone vaguely pretty (I'm a 6/10 with make-up at most and a little chubs) who can discuss current world events, agree with everything they say, and be affectionate but not clingy. If you can nod and agree to just about any stupid shit for the sake of some spending bucks, you can do it. You just need to go out there and find the right people. Sugaring websites are so sketch. Working at a country club, 5 star hotel, gentlemen's club, or somewhere where rich old men are likely to congregate is a good start.

Same. I dress cute because I like seeing myself looking cute in the mirror, like wearing poofy skirts, like seeing my cute shoes when I walk, keeping my wallet and phone in a cute purse etc. I just wish it didn't attract so much attention. Even when people compliment me I feel uncomfortable because I don't like people paying too much attention to the way I look. I've pretty much stopped attending meets because the more lolitas there are in one place the more people stare and I don't want to be stared at.

I don't wear my clothes when I'm home so much because I'm always spilling stuff on them, knocking things over with my petticoat and getting jumped by my (adorable but very hairy) cat. Walking around outside is the safest place for me to feel cute and it sucks.

>been buying all sorts of brand lately, but has no job/not going to school currently

>been hearing through a neutral party that said girl either has a sugar daddy or is stripping (which seems more likely since neutral party is friends with her & has noticed some questionable reactions when asked about her brand & money source)

>neutral party has told me that dubious lolita does bad mouth the newbies behind their back & is quite manipulative (I can confirm the latter due to an incident that happened between a year to two years ago. I can't say who else was involved, but it wasn't me)

>neutral party has also commented that several lolitas in the Southern California comm have left because of this specific lolita, I don't know the reason(s) specifically.

Heard about a lolita acquaintance that her husband may be having an affair with a subordinate at work. If true and if HR were to find out, he'd probably be fired on the spot.

I'm not going to tell her directly for a number of reasons. The primary reason is that it's only hearsay. I don't want to find out later that the rumor had been untrue, and have her and her husband decide that I had been trying to sabotage their marriage with a lie.

The secondary reason is that there were multiple incidents in the past, that demonstrated that she simply was not a very good friend to me (hence, now an acquaintance). If her marriage is suffering or will suffer in the near future because her husband was an idiot, it is none of my business.

>Ok lemme explain this out and you can tell me if I overstepped any boundaries.
What you did sounds really sweet, but I'd be weary in how to approach that. I personally wouldn't feel like it was crossing a boundary in that situation if you got it for me, but I say I'd be weary just because I've weirded people out by doing similar things, even if it's cheap, or even if it was something that didn't cost me money, people feel like it's a grander gesture in their heads than it actually is to me, so it can feel like a boundary thing. If it's a friendship where we haven't previously established that gifts are okay, I might say something like "Yeah, it wasn't much so just buy me a drink next time" or "Help me with this <small thing> and we'll call it even". I don't drink anything pricey, so it works out that it was still a nice gesture for them, but if they are someone who feels weird about gifts, it doesn't put them on the spot. Alternately you can assign a reason to the gift other than 'oh, just thinking of you', maybe say something like "I really appreciated your support during <hard time> and I wanted to do something nice for you." Some people are only used to getting gifts on special occasions, so assigning it a reason makes it less strange.

I don't over think every gift I give, I do have one friend where we can just do nice things for each other and we know it doesn't mean anything strange, but sometimes I get a little thing without thinking, and realize after the fact that I am not certain if the person I got it for is okay with gifts or not.

You sound fun.

My fight or flight instinct is fucked up due to years of abuse and negative reinforcement growing up. I also had some trauma that resulted in PTSD, so my illnesses go hand in hand. I've gotten a much better handle on it, but from time to time I have an uncontrollable spell, usually in the form of racing heart, being drenched in sweat, and in the toilet shitting for 30+ minutes. I literally cannot control my bowels when extremely anxious. Just like a dog who shakes and cannot relax because it was abused, that is me. The mind is powerful and is responsible for these physical responses. Serotonin uptake inhibitors help with this. You wouldn't call a diabetic weak for taking insulin. Saying a few magic words like "deal with it" or "get over it" makes no damn sense medically speaking. Learn some science before you act like a tough ass.

Also, Tumblrites self-diagnosing themselves as having anxiety are not representative of people who actually have it.

Exactly. You can't tell a cancer patient to just stop or a diabetic to stop. If you're leg is broken, you really can't walk it off. You've obviously never had real tragedy in your life, or you're just pretending you have because you hate how much it damaged you.

PTSD isn't funny. There is acute and chronic, and can't get over it. I can stand a large con crowd because I can disappear into the crowd of strangers. Around a group of people who know me? It is worse because my panicked mind tells me constantl how they are judging me.

Good thing you don't care if it makes you a terrible person, because you are. I hope you end up friendless and alone, because no one should be forced to put up with you.

I feel like caring about your image is important. Based on that, of course you want others to think you look nice. But is it for attention really? Not likely for most people. I don't need them to compliment me or even acknowledge my presence, but i do want other people who i communicate with to think well of me.

You sound like a nice person (likely on the younger side i'd guess). People like your "friend" are not really friends. they use you like a tool and keep you around so they can feel superior to you. You'll be glad she's out of your life in time. With that said, having a lack of friends does feel sad. But it's not the end of the world. I'm unsure of your situation, whether you're in school or not but there are always oportunties to meet new people and grow as a person. be who you want to be. Even if you're not ready (or able to) come out to your parents, you can still express yourself as a person. And being a lesbian doesn't mean you have to Look tomboyish even if you feel like one. I build shit in my backyard and get my hands dirty doing "manly" things around the house, but i wear a dress every damn day. It makes me feel pretty. I just don't want you to confuse your personality with how you HAVE to dress. I'm bisexual so my parents either think my SO is my "good friend" if it's a girl or they get excited when it's a boy.

If I wasn't in a good relationship already I would probably get in on this. I'm not particularly hot or good at being sexy, but I've had a lot of older men at my old job tell me I was a "good old fashioned girl" and that they enjoy staying to talk with me. And I really wouldn't mind just keeping them company. That's basically what my job boils down to right now, though for older ladies and it probably doesn't pay near as well.

Then say "we're not having this conversation" if they get whiney and then walk away from them if they don't drop the topic.

My SO had friend like this (incidentally a MtF transgender person) who had a temper tantrum in a mall when hanging out with him, and my SO just walked away, leaving that person alone in the mall. After that, the person didn't have any temper tantrums in public (at least when hanging out with my SO).

Hang out with him when he's fun, but if he's being demanding on something you don't want to do, don't budge. Don't set yourself on fire to make other people warm.

Some just seem to have some issue that people around them walk on eggshells for, and they simply don't expect someone to not agree with them or to say something opposing them.
Take parents who were of the "you can be anything you want and correcting children in any way is wrong" type and then add in the awkwardness of being around someone who as a teen or adult is throwing a fit and it ends up as everyone tries to avoid it since it's such an extreme level of awkward.

I love cosplay
I love drawing

I'm broken
There's a painful pinching in the back of my neck
Can't hold my head up for very long without pain

I can't work or hold a job
It still hurts
Do data entry online but the pay all goes to living with father
Father had a stroke
He likes listening to me hum while I sew
Make sure to do so for him when he's laying down on the sofa beside me when I sew
Everything's starting to ache from my neck to my tail bone lately
Pain Management helps a little
I've been awake for six days straight
Grandmother blames me for father's stroke
She says he'll die because he worries about me
Keep drawing
Keep sewing
Conventions are the only time I leave the house for long ventures
Love being able to have friends and see people
Love laughing and seeing all the cosplay and art
I want to be cool like cosplayers here who pump out 10 costumes every few months
I love it yet I constantly judge that what I do will always falls short
I'm not that great
I'm not pretty
I'm still so tired
I've been sewing and began hallucinating from no sleep
I stuck a needle in my eye and felt nothing

I feel in a constant state of post-con depression and the only thing keeping me going is the next convention when I can see friends again who are okay with giving me lower prices for hotel rooms. I usually sleep on the floor, tucked away out of their way just in case. I usually go on the food runs for them just to help earn my stay. They're very understanding and I thank them for that.

I should probably not go to cons but Artist Alley money I can hide from my grandmother. It's the only time I see friends from out of state so the cost is usually worth the trip. Most of my cosplays are made from bargain bin fabrics or left over pieces from mother's old sheets and beddings since she left them to us and we don't ever use them. I don't cosplay extravagant things but I wish I could.

I've never cosplayed but I post in the "bad cosplay" threads. I do know how to sew so I can critique the construction but most of the time I don't even know who they're cosplaying. Those threads have actually made me scared to cosplay - not like I have the time or funds to do so but still. I'm working on a Sailor Jupiter costume for Halloween and don't plan on wearing a wig and I fear I'll get posted in one of those threads because of it.

I tell people how busy I am with school and while I do have to study a lot, it's not as much as I make it out to be. Usually when I tell someone I can't go out because I'm studying I usually study for a bit then waste time on 4chan, browse eBay/Amazon, or clean the house.

You can't turn off or get over things like that, this is true. I don't think people should be shamed for having anxiety problems, I have them too.

You can't control your feelings, but you can control how you deal with them, treat them and cope with them. That girl (not sure if it's you or not). Wasn't in the wrong for not going to the BBQ, but she was in the wrong for guilting her boyfriend into coming home earlier. You need to learn how to comfort yourself and deal with these feelings without constantly relying on your romantic partner. If you rely on him completely for comfort, you'll only drag him down with you and cause resentment, something I learned the hard way.

Ignore your grandma, she sounds like a piece of shit. And don't do postitution in person while you're like this, it's a perfect horror scenario, do panty selling or something until you feel like a human.

And if you can make a Sailor Scout cosplay halfway decently, without using a glue gun in place of a needle, and don't spam pics online, nobody will give a shit. If you have short blonde hair it'll look odd, but otherwise, go for it. It's Halloween, you'll look better than 95% of normies anyway.

Stubble is one of the main things you have to worry about, especially idf you have dark hair. Just practice shaving as cleanly as you can, do your eyebrows, get a good face cream (and eye cream, if you need it), use sunscreen all the time, and if you can, get makeup samples. You can get Korean ones on ebay and Western ones in magazines and online. Practice with those, see which one's best, and look up tutorials aimed at men. Wayne Goss is good.
As for brand, save up and buy plain pieces first. Look on the bst thread/comm sales/fb sales/lm to see how much a particular piece is going for. Don't worry if you look awkward in just a dress, wigs and accessories can pull everything together.

I was into lolita pretty briefly, though I still hang around here to keep up with the community. I dropped out a few years ago, and all the friends I've made in the community have been worried sick or even angry.

I've been taking care of my elderly mother. The stress has been driving me crazy, and I don't even have the time between two jobs and college to dress up anymore. I don't really want to tell them what's been keeping me out of there because I don't want to pity play.

Having to dust cobwebs off of my dresses has been the worst hell, and I feel like I can't do anything I want to or get my life moving while I'm stuck out here taking care of her. But I can't just walk away, either; I don't have a lot of savings(her medical bills and addictions take most of our money) and no real connections to land me a place to go, on top of her guaranteeing me she'd commit suicide the moment I left.

I've made so many attempts to get her set up nicely with a caregiver and myself out of here, but it always explodes due to horrible circumstance. Just a few days ago my roommate-to-be vanished, leaving a suicide note, and I haven't heard from him at all. I don't want to be stuck out here another year.

i would also enjoy being your friend, too, anon! i personally think a friends thread would be pretty sweet, but i'm also not sure if it would shit up the board or not for most people.

anybody feel free to email me!

I secretly want to join a lolita com and get into the fashion. But tbh the girls seem like two faced catty bitches. I might try to just buy my first dress instead of making one but I heard that's frowned upon in some circles. Plus I'm really scared since I'm biologically male but identify as genderfluid. Seems like some lolitas don't like male lolitas or are wary of them since some turn out to be creepers. Blah such a shitty situation. I just wanna be a pretty lolita princess.

Why did you post the exact same thing in the general? Is this bait?

My stepbrother lives out of state and I don't answer his calls on purpose.

He has Down syndrome and he was a very sweet kid but once puberty hit it became uncomfortable to be around him. Of course he can't control his feelings but he kept telling me he wanted me to be his girlfriend and that he loved me more than a sister. It was funny at first but then he started threatening my boyfriend and telling me lies about him and that really pissed me off. I told him not to do it again and he said he understood and yet he keeps telling me he wants me to be his girlfriend even though he knows I'm his sister. I know I'm being childish and people say he just misses me but I know he knows what he's trying to do and I'm not having it.

Related because my sister and I used to dress him up in our "fancy" dresses that remind me of lolita dresses. The three of us had fun but it made our step-dad mad.

You...had sex? In full lolita?! That's truly terrifying. I couldn't imagine putting a cute coord at risk for something as common as sex.
