I was the anon on the other thread that was struggling with leaving a terrible job.

I went today and delivered my key. I feel really sorry for leaving my colleague alone and without help. But it had to be.

I discovered they have hidden cameras in every room and that the employer had been controlling people behind their backs. This made me completely paranoid and I simply can't work on a place like this anymore.

So I'm happy I left. Time to work on some armour!

I love my parents. I'm happy they're looking out for me to make sure I don't give away personal information easily etc.

But I wish I could just order things online to my own liking without always having to go through them, which always ends up with my dad wanting to check out the site I want to order from etc.
Oh and before you wonder why I'm not ordering things regardless, there's almost always one of them at home at any given time, I can't lie for shit and if they found out I gave some sites our shipping address (aka home address) I'd be in deep shit.

Does anyone else feel like it's much harder for them to make friends in the cosplay community than it is for their other friends in it? I try to be friendly with everyone I'm introduced to, follow them on social media and comment on their stuff in a positive and non-clingy/creepy way, offer booze to people at cons (if they drink) etc and it feels like nobody ever remembers me or talks to me... I've had to reintroduce my self to people I've met like, ten times over the years. Meanwhile, I'll have friends that will meet the same people once in passing and seemingly become online BFFS with ease.

I just got a beautiful burando skirt in the mail with a delicate, fluffy tulle overlay.

I took it out of the package, tried it on, draped it over the bed and then took a nap.

My SO comes home and his cat followed him into the bedroom. She curled up on the skirt draped on the bed, but I didn't think anything of it because our cats lay in clothes we leave around all the time, but they don't mess with them. I guess something about the fluffy softness of the tulle really hit the spot for her though because after a few minutes she started violently kneading her claws into it.

I didn't even get to wear my new skirt and it's already got three holes in it. They're small, but really noticeable in my opinion. Steaming it might make them smaller but these are definitely not going to go away. So mad.

oh i posted this in a dead thread

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 don't even know if I'd fit in those dresses anymore either, I've put on a few pounds.

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.

The thing that baffles me is that I tend to be pretty well liked and influential in my social circles that aren't cosplay related, though. I kind of feel like there's some sort of secret hazing that nobody's telling me about that I need to go through to be buds with others in this hobby at times. Sometimes I'll get some bitter thoughts that the people who have been weirdly cold are people who wanted to be popular back in high school and are living out their fantasies this way, but I feel like that's really fucking mean of me.

You're not morally obligated to do so because you're a god damn adult. You don't even need to lie, just fucking order it and don't say anything, and when the package comes just be liek "oh yeah i ordered something."

I'm working a shitty internship which is necessary for the hours so I can continue with my degree. The management is terribly organized, there's no communication, and the employees are passive aggressive back-stabbing cunts. I always get caught in the middle because I'm the intern, and there's little to no procedure that can protect me from whatever they decide to accuse me of. I also got a bad foot injury from working too much so I have to take 2 weeks off now. I'm glad for the break but also have a lot of anxiety about taking the time off. I still need 200 hours or so to finish it and I'm just fucking worn out. I'm sick of 40 year old men acting like petty middle schoolers, and two faced cunts who are jealous of my ability and talk behind my back rather than improve their work.

I'm going to take the time to relax and collect myself. I can't stop feeling bad about all the shit they've accused me of, especially since they have no proof but seniority means if the shit hits the fan I'm the one in the wrong. I've really turned to drinking a lot because of stress and it's making me gain weight and I feel ugly and fat in lolita. Going to try pot next.

Weed might just trap you in a ball of your own thoughts. I once tried to smoke to get away from a depression episode. It was a bad idea. Made me break down in front of my SO and cry for an hour.

Drink tea, it has a calming effect. Exercising also gives me a shot of excited energy. When I'm super stressed, I either talk to my SO or just sit on my bed, tightly hug a pillow, and sit there in silence for a while.

Maybe you can ask your employer to be assigned something else so you can physically not be with the others? Your internship sounds so similar to an office job I had. It really made me hate middle-aged people. Good luck, it's only 200 hours!

Fuck, I feel like crap.

I've posted about this before but uggh. My brother's getting married next month and it's been a fucking roller coaster. His future mother-in-law is a controlling, piece of crap bitch. She's one of those mom's that plans her daughter's wedding to her liking, not the daughter's, because she never got her dream wedding. So she has to force it down everyone else's throats. She had me excluded from the bridal party for being too fat (despite the fact that i've lost weight and she has a good 50+ pounds on me), she didn't want to invite our cousin because he's bipolar and "could cause a scene", and considered not inviting our grandpa because "he's too old and wouldn't know otherwise". She calls every day to discuss plans and has been since last august. She treats my mom like crap, she treats my brother like crap. They've almost called off the wedding twice already. I wish they would and just elope. It'd be less stressful for everyone.

I just. I haven't had a proper night's sleep in weeks, my hair is falling out in massive clumps, I'm constantly bloated, I've been gaining weight, I've started biting my nails and picking at my skin again, and I think I'm developing an ulcer (or 5). I'm so miserable. I just want this wedding to be over and done with already. We all do. I just want to be happy and stress free again, so I can work on cosplay and build my gyaru wardrobe. But oh, that reminded me. I'm banned from getting a job until after the wedding so it doesn't conflict with the date. I wanted to apply for Spirit Halloween and Hot Topic since they'll be hiring for the season soon and by the time the wedding is over, it'll be halfway through the season and chances are I won't get the job. Still going to apply though because fuck that bitch I need money.

The more you are picky and being selective, also spot red flags, the more you can find a decent guy that doesn't mind lolita or other jfashions. The ones that despise these styles on a girl are basic bitches themselves (or love plain jane girls) or not having enough balls and they feel inferior if their gf dresses better or more attention grabbing than them.
Real men don't feel threatened by jfashions, rather appreciate and help their girl to maintain this style.

Good (??) to know.

I don't tell what name but it's very cringey, it seem a name from a yaoi series or male japanese name, she is white not asian and in her 20s. Also that person was in conflict with females a lot, treated me and other like utter crap, also hating "feminine" styles as lolita and feeling superior to others (girls?) because lolita or other feminine fashion styles are ugly or "stupid".

I will play devils advocate and say try, but be careful with weed. I've done plenty of drugs and will be the first to call out for legalization (of all of them) but weed is weirdly the one I think I would never go back to. It's great for distracting yourself, but eventually distraction becomes habit and familiarity breeds content. Over a period of years it went from turning bad days good to turning bad days into just days until all the days eventually began rolling into one and the time I should have spent enjoying myself slid out from under me, lost in a swirl of junk food and introspective distraction.

Some people are weed people, and that's great. But for me it felt like I was in a continual bubble; not totally disassociated but as though I had a couple of soft, foam cups continually enclosed over my ears. The renewed sense of immediate gratification I got from such basic things like music, food, vidya and anime was great and got me through the bad and boring days, but in the end it was like life on easymode. I prefer the extreme highs and lows of harder drugs because above all else they make me feel like I'm living in the present, not as though time is racing by while I sit back and watch it happen.

Is it really unusual for a 22yo to not have any real friends aside from my boyfriend?
I just saw a Kpop video on tumblr and it reminded me of one of my friends who was really hard into kpop who I haven't heard of in a long time. I suddenly feel a deep void because I failed to keep in contact with any of my friends and have nobody aside from my boyfriend to talk to.

Like, I always struggled with keeping friends, but since I'm working full-time I kinda stopped meeting any of them.
I even feel wearing and buying lolita is vain because I don't have friends to meet up with.
I kinda feel really lonely.

Does anyone remember a tripfag called 'Princess Sevenleaf' or something like that posting here, on /cgl/, ever, at any point in time?

I've been here since Dec 2010 and I don't. Archives (which were created in June 2012 IIRC) also give zero hits.

No worries, anon. This happens to me, too. And I can't blame it on me being not charismatic, since I'm a well-performing salesperson. I've noticed that sometimes it's just being /too/ charismatic. A lot of people in the con scene spill their spaghetti everywhere or have some form of anxiety or something they put a lot of their issues on, so they typically get intimidated by people who are super outgoing/have certain body posture.

From me just being nice to people and outgoing, I've had people assume I'm stuck up, etc. I think a lot of it may just be lack of social skills on their part. Also, the majority of the con scene is like 13-16 so it's hard to make friends that aren't within that age group.

I'd be your friend.

Yeah, self-inserting was so important for me in my weeb phase. I just didn't know what to do with these yaoi ships. My friend made me read some mangas and it always was like "one seme dude makes one uke dude realize he's gay". Wow, guys, boring. But straight ships always have interesting gals and I enjoy reading about them, playing out scenarios in my head. They are much better to look at as well, I like girls more aesthetic-wise.

I'm probably the only person on tumblr who's not interested in Free. I watched half of it and it got so boring, if they at least hat some girls in bathing suits.

I was the same way at 22. Now a few years later I have more friends than I know what to do with.. most of them come from the lolita comm but others are just people I've met. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't worry about it. Nothing is wrong with you, sometimes you just don't meet the right people for awhile.
For the lolita comm in your city, did you pass them in lolita? A lot of lolitas kinda ignore people in normalfag attire even if they seem to know what they're talking about. I would encourage you to check it out, if you're a good lolita the clique might not be so intimidating, you never know.

Traditional Asian family is worst for the Chinese. This is because China used to have a one child policy, so your parents automatically have no choice but to demand you be normal because anything else is subversive and risky... and if you only have one kid, you don't want him / her taking risks because you can't afford to lose.

With Japanese, Korean, or Taiwanese parents, they'll still be deeply ashamed if you don't have an upstanding job in some big firm, but at the end of the day, they'll be like "whatever, we've still got your older brother." But with Chinese parents, you're far more likely to be tiger mom'd back in line.

I kind of forced myself to like it for a bit but at the end of the day I just generally prefer straight ships. I don't always like the degree of how they seem to treat it as a fetish while at the same time denying it's a fetish.
I don't know I guess I"m not a very openly sexual person either (as in I don't talk about it. people think I'm prude just because of that).

Infact i find a bit odd when someone cannot find friends but have a SO because i have limited social skills or occasions. I don't go out much too.
The only thing i suggest to you is to find a niche, be lolita, anime, jmusic, whatever and bond friendship here. I did friends with having common interests like lolita. If i succeded to find friends, you would do it as well, good luck anon!

I know there's always someone talking about offing themselves in these threads, I'm sorry adding onto the pile. It's sort of lolita related, I'm planning a spreadsheet of my wardrobe's values to help my family sell it off.

A year or so ago, I posted in one of these threads that I was considering killing myself. I needed to get it out, to just left off steam. I had no one to tell irl. I decided to get professional help because I was/still am willing to try anything. It hasn't helped much and I will soon be too old to use my parent's insurance to continue going.
So what doing is working on a plan similar to people making 1-5 year plans for their lives. I have included many "safety nets" in place to stop myself from actually doing it and hopefully having my life improve in the meantime. For example, one of my requirements is that my dog must pass before I do so she won't mourn. Another of my requirements is that I have all my affairs in order. Included in this is a way for my parents to get rid of my stuff. Most of my valuable possessions are lolita clothes. Like I mentioned above, I'm going to make a spreadsheet with values I paid, ranges of what they sold for in the past, places they can be listed, etc.. There is one concern about this though. The way I chose to go is set up to look like an accident so my parent's can hopefully get life insurance money. I haven't researched it thoroughly yet so I could be wrong about this. If I leave this spreadsheet or any notes behind, I'm scared it will ruin that plan.
In case anyone is curious, my parents have always obsessed about money. We didn't have a lot when I was growing up, so I want them to have something in return for the 20 or so years they wasted on me.

You shouldn't get a "qt female friend" to "teach you how to be a girl" (as if it isn't just you wanting to use your currently socially acceptable mental disorder to do what you could never do as a male because you're too disgusting and fat for that).

I recommend that instead you seek therapy to get rid of your mental illness before you kill yourself.

I hate how I get so damn paranoid whenever I'm in lolita by myself in public. I always feel like everyone is out to get me whenever I'm in lolita. Then, it leads to my anxiety building up to the point where I don't even enjoy being outside, and I'd rather be inside. I rarely get any negativity, either - I actually get a lot of compliments whenever I wear lolita, and sometimes, people actually recognize the fashion in a positive light.

From a dance point of view, small lolis are the best. A lot of modern duets depends on the guy being able to pick up the girl, have her fly around, catch and brake her with the routine, and small lolis are just the best for this.

Like, I'm a pretty big guy, but even medium sized girls (say 140lbs) can be a challenge to catch because she would be jumping or flying at me, which is a lot of momentum.

I can't speak for other people, but I myself am still not used to getting compliments, especially from strangers. As soon as somebody tells me that they like my coord, all I can get out is stuff like "Oh thanks, I got this piece from xyz". I try to compliment the other person, too, but sometimes I'm just too nervous and can't find the right words and just smile awkwardly.
I'm pretty good at socializing outside of lolita, but for some reason all this casual complimenting and gushing over each other makes me uncomfortable.
As soon as I'm in a more relaxed situation (like sitting at a table during a tea party) I love to get to know the people around me and make new friends. Everybody always tells me that I look so self-confident, but inside I'm shaking...so maybe more girls are like me and just more nervous and awkward as they look?

Holy macaroni, are you actually unquestionably buying the narrative that Tumblr pushed in the last decade?

Are you actually taking their bellyfeelz over the research (and evidence) done by the first hospital to ever do sex-change mutilations (Johns Hopkins University) that have lead them to believe that surgery isn't the solution for these mentally ill people, because they stay mentally ill after the surgery and eventually kill themselves.

The only reason why has anyone ever became 'transgender' is because they had other issues and thought that changing their sex would make it better. That's why the vast, vast majority (I wouldn't be surprised if 99% would be a LOW estimate) of 'transgender people' are men who want to become women.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/paul-mchugh-transgender-surgery-isnt-the-solution-1402615120

Not to mention that this 'being a tranny is ok!!' narrative actively clashes with the other Tumblr mantra that 'gender is a social construct!!'.

See, this is proof that you're mentally ill. If this isn't a misquote then you just posted a picture of laughing anime girls to react to an article about mentally ill people who are encouraged by our dishonest & uncaring society to go through a 'sex-change', deluded by thinking that they will look like the few passable examples since media don't show them the other 90%, and then, after they've gone through this irreversible process that's supposed to 'make everything better' they are still mentally ill and after a few years of denial they end up killing themselves.

If this is what you think you're supposed to act like to 'become a girl' then you've got even more serious issues than just your tranny delusions.

>>8608844
The only people who want you to kill yourself are the ones who tell you to cut your penis off because it makes them feel better (i.e. this scum >>8608849). I want you to lay off the Tumblr Kool-Aid while you can and seek help for the actual issues that make you want to 'try being a girl' [for what you perceive is an easier life] in the first place.

You seem to think most trans people are MtF and only want it so they can have three holes to fuck.

Sure there are some trans people who have issues that surgery won't fix, but it's a small percentage. I mean, do you even know shit about gender therapists? You're just rattling off your ass-brained statistics with no backing because you're so mad that a guy doesn't want to be a guy anymore.

You are deluded & blind as fuck if you think they're not. Even if you look at Western societies only, you see hundreds, if not thousands of males who want to be treated as women for every female teenager who thinks that her not having girly interests make her a man. But then you look at third world countries / India / SEA countries and any argument that the MtF and FtM ratio is anywhere close to 50:50 crumbles. I guess the Indian [from India] ones don't count because they can't afford having their penis cut off?

>Sure there are some trans people who have issues that surgery won't fix, but it's a small percentage.
Yes, such a small percentage that the hospital doing these procedures decided to stop doing them. Everything you said in your post right now is pulling shit out of your ass, but this just takes the cake. And you follow it by claiming that my 'ass-brained statistics' have no backing except it literally had backing which you continue to ignore because I guess if you acknowledged it's existence your brain would explode.

Also, "gender therapists". Epic, simply epic. I heard that rubbing snake oil on your skin makes it really effeminate too, maybe that would help.
Evidence clearly suggests that sex-change surgery = leeching of 21st century. But you can't admit that because the popular opinion in the 'cool kids' clique is that gender is a social construct so genders should be treated differently by law and men should be encouraged to change their genders instead of fixing their broken lives. Social polarization (and cognitive dissonance) at its finest.

>>8609204
They are treated that way because no matter how hard you try to push thoughtcrime, people are still going to be inherently disgusted by these 'ugly women' who even used to be men. As I said before, maybe 1 in 100 of these surgeries makes you look passable as a woman. The deceived men can't handle it and boom goes the dynamite.

actually a lot of people who get surgery still have dysphoria afterward since the brain has trouble differentiating the before and after (which is why things like phantom limbs exist for amputees) even with hormones. it takes a huge toll and is a big part of something humans don't understand about our brains.

OP here, my real problem is that I do this all the time. It always takes me forever to buy/order anything over $50 because I'm very paranoid about poverty; I've been homeless before (6-ish years ago) so I still have some of the habits I formed then about conserving money even though I don't have to anymore. I've already put off making this taobao order for about a month because I'm just so nervous about spending the money in the first place.

I had to do it three times during my permanent visa processing to live overseas. No one knew how to do ink prints (which the FBI required, they rejected my first submission of digital prints), and it took me two submissions of ink prints before they said "lol, we take digital now too".

Fucking sucked. And since they have to be sealed by the people taking them to avoid tampering (in this case, the police), I couldn't just make copies of the form to try again later. I had to keep going to the police department for another set.

The "eww girlz get in the way of our yaoiz" attitude is bullshit, but to be completely honest the forced girlfriend characters tend to be really cringeworthy. The relationship between them and the designated main character is usually pretty badly done and it's only there to have some kind of female representation while the relationship with two male characters can be a lot more interesting and credible. Like in Naruto, Sakura wasn't even supposed to exist in the series but the editor demanded there to be a female main character so it wouldn't be such a sausage fest, so the audience got an annoying, worthless "childhood friend" stereotype. I wish authors could just write good female characters or leave them out altogether.

I feel always weird when i see girls that have social anxiety, no friends, not much social life, mental or family issues still can get a SO.
I can't explain why this happen. I'm not the mentally healthiest person, i have my own issues (being aspie, mild depression and anxious about the future) but when i see people in worse conditions than me, with shit tier social life having a bf, i feel really upset.
My social life is limited too, i don't have many occasions to meet new people and not much friends. I dress lolita, otome and cute gothic fashion as casual, i take care of myself, i try to date people but i end to find creeps, people that have so many red flags that hurts, playa type guys or just people i'm not interested/they aren't interested in me or already taken.

Good to know I'm not the only one feeling this every time I see some piece of media.

I understand that media is supposed to appeal to the masses, and in some feedback loop we've managed to convince ourselves the 'girl with main character' is supposed to be the tired stereotype we all love. But I'm tired of having to settle for that, and I'm tired of being accused of being misogynistic because I hate how badly written a female character is. They're not real people, they're creations, and it goes the same for a badly written girl as a bad drawing of a girl - I'll criticize it because it isn't good writing.

The law of attraction is true, you have to work on yourself to get someone fitting for you. Usually many people forget about this, but it's important.

Being an introvert who struggles with people and has mental issues/family problems is not being damaged goods or a bad person that must be avoided because there's 'something wrong with them'.

Well some that have mental issues could show some red flags, like being manipulative, too needy. I don't need myself people that are damaged by themselves, i'm too but i don't want to rescue and fall in their bottomless pit in case they are not that so good. Anon, you would never know about how is the relationship in reality, these guys maybe they are a bit doormat and they accept whatever in a partner, even bad behaviour. I don't want to say all these people are bad girls or boys but i see too much doormat girls or boys in relationship with someone that doesn't treat them well (trust me, i was the DOORMAT and i'm trying my best to not be one and attract healtier people, being like that doesn't give you nothing). You believe in all feelings and love all fluffy and pink maybe. You could be right about this in some cases, but usually having some mental issues isn't the best condition to have a relationship, people save themselves first.
I don't understand why when someone says this now we are shitty and judgemental. See the reality, some relationship aren't what you think or that perfect as they look.
Sorry if i sound like this... loving unconditionally is good yes, but always remember to love yourself first, not in an ego way just to respect yourself as others want do to you.

Poor deluded cuck.

Implying a fedora would ever have a chance with a socially anxious weaboo poon when she's got 7.5-8.5/10 males lined up to get inside her all the time - and even those are actually NOT good enough for her. And I mean really good looking guys, like the kind of guys who would get two or three compliments from the local landwhales in they posted their pics in the suggestion thread (which is extremely rare for male posters on /cgl/).

I have two 'good looking cuck' friends like this and it just breaks my heart see them chase after these picky 6/10s when they could easily get a normal (aka what /r9k/ calls 'normie') boring-ass girlfriend who probably looks better if they put effort into them.

Even men have their preference, believe me... The more you narrow your preference (without being unrealistic) the more you can find someone suitable for you. You can't fall in love with anyone, you need a special person to feel something deep.

No, the reason they don't have a chance with some girls is BECAUSE they don't put the effort into it, not because they are being pushed out of the ring by good looking guys. I don't know what socially anxious weeaboo girls you know but you really shouldn't assume that kind of shit about other people. Even some socially anxious weeaboos don't like that kind of shit, the steam library, the waifus, et cetera, because, believe it or not, having hobbies does not define a person's entire life like some of these people allow it to. And they don't know when to acknowledge that more important things are going on around them and that logging a thousand hours in the latest half-assed game should not be a priority above human relationships and a fucking job if they actually want a girlfriend.

That's part of the problem that most people who have issues interacting with others or finding a good relationship have - they assume too much shit, and in the same breath are incapable of inferring anything about actually important details or flags or what have you.

There are some girls out there okay with any number of things and some that are not. It depends entirely on the person. Because, wow, people are different and some of us actually understand that good looking people will always be around but that one person you can live your happy life with is a one time deal.

Again, another post starts with an irrelevant statement. The guys I am talking about are the cream of the corp that have been interested in those weaboo social anxiety loser girls. They have little next to no competition and they clearly stand out from the hundreds of (literally, not even using this as an insult) autistic MLP ponyfuckers and fat deluded fedora wearing neckbeards.

There is a problem with semantics here. You should have been more clear, you are talking about delusional girls even worse than fedoras, but not every weeaboo social anxiety loser is like that.

The only thing they, and really anyone, can do is keep meeting people and weed out the shitty ones as they discover them and stop standing for bullshit. There are billions of people, it would be hard to run out before they found somebody worthwhile. Their fixation to those types of girls is probably because they are the types who will most obviously flaunt their hobbies and a lot of people rely on sharing hobbies to build friendship and form bonds over likenesses.

I know it seems to some people like finding someone who shares all your hobbies would be the perfect relationship, but similarity and compatibility are two very different things. Maybe you should try explaining that to those guys you know.

This is exactly the problem with the male loser generation of today. They were raised on that 'men are women are totes the same!' bullcrap so they want a girl who's halfway good-looking but also likes the same stuff that they do (=video games and Chink cartoons, the kind of that cater almost exclusively to men). Like they basically want a "bro" with tits and vagina. That's why there's such huge competition for weaboo girls even if they're worse looking than normal ones, and especially big if they aren't landwhales + are socially anxious ("that means she won't run away tee hee!!").

I've grown to be biased against those types of guys because of that exact reason. I don't want to be some guy's fucking "bro" while he oggles cartoon characters and tells me which ones he wants to fuck, or tells me that he is going to play such and such game and if I choose not to sit there and watch then it is my decision not to spend time together. I did that once already for longer than I should have and I'm not doing that shit again. I will take some normal boring guy who actually cares about me and accepts my weird hobbies and habits and isn't using me as a bro he can fuck when he feels like it any day.

I'm not the person you were replying to, I'm just a guy who dislikes obvious trolling.

Your next line is "way to be a white knighting beta/cuck, these stuck up sluts will never fuck you."

The old "you can't prove I'm trolling" bit. Not bad, I'll bump you up to 4/10.

That gambit, of course, involves putting the target on the defensive, and goading them into making an itemized list of "reasons" why you're trolling, which often invites simultaneous insults.

Then you go point by point and make a vague reasoning for each why it's not trolling, make condescending remarks, probably call them obsessed or otherwise emotionally compromised, then after the summation, retort with a new accusation directed at the target, typically of some reason/prejudice for them to "wrongfully think" that you're a troll.

It's one of the more effective methods, and one which has a very high rate of people biting it.

Hell, I'll give you a 5/10, even.

But really, don't you have better hobbies?

I do. They are denying themselves from getting laid, hence they're cucking themselves.

I am a male you turbodweeb. I am one of the few males in America who managed to avoid becoming part of the male loser generation because I had a real father (which is very rare for other black kids) and I joined the Nation of Islam at the age of 15.

Cucking does not mean "not having sex." Cuckoldry is specifically when two people are in a dedicated relationship and the woman cheats with another man, usually in a way that is demeaning to the man in the relationship, e.g. With malicious intent, being in his face about it, etc. (the name for the male doing that is called Cuquean or something).

Giving yourself blueballs is not cucking yourself, cock blocking yourself is not cucking yourself, being a loser isn't being a cucking yourself, posting nudes of your girlfriend isn't cucking yourself (I actually saw somebody making this argument once).

You also can't be cucked unless you're in a dedicated relationship with the person.

The more you know.

Are you the cuck expert of 4chan? Are you the anointed cucker?

This is what happens to every buzzword on 4chan, and the internet in general. People just spam it nonstop in every situation until it's meaning has become so diluted that all the information it can convey is an extremely basic expression of either positive or negative. In this case, negative.

>>8615706
Just because some people don't want to be complete dumbasses in regards to language doesn't mean they have a personal obsession with every word they know the meaning of.
Is that really how everyone else in the world is? They never learn the definitions of words unless that word is an important part of their own lives? How many words do you even know then, like 1000? Probably less.

You don't want a partner. You want a slave.

If you're gonna be such a cunt don't be angry if all anyone wants to do with you is fuck you.
