It's not silly at all. Happy for you, anon.
One of my dream dresses appeared on yahoo auctions when I have zero opportunity to buy it, I'm sure it's gonna be bought soon and I'm so bummed.
I'm consoling myself with the thought that at least it does appear secondhand, which gives me hope that I might find it again in the future.
Still, feelsbadman.

[Anonymous No.9636095]

I love my comm. I really do. But I've had it up to HERE with these monthly butthole inspections.

I put a lot of thought into my coords. I wear them well. There's no reason I should have to endure the humiliation of going before the comm mother and her elders, dropping my thong diaper, bending over, and spreading wide for a full anal analysis.

According to the chart my b-hole is a "Cheerio" type, the smallest allowable size in our comm. I get bitched at this every time, but I honestly don't know how to fix it? Comm Mom herself claims to have a "Fruit Loop" which is the "statistically perfect lolita anus."

The system never really bothered me until last week, when I saw a really lovely OTT sweet lolita banished from our comm for sporting a "bagel" anus, which is three sizes too big. (Our comm only goes from "Cheerio" to "mini-doughnut," although exceptions can me made based on shape of the hole and level of pinkness.)

It's also unfair how the girls with the best assholes get to sit near the head of the table at every meet. I contribute far more to the comm than anyone in Comm Mom's inner circle, but get rejected from her clique because I was born with a "less than impressive" anus. By the way, I have seen the holes of every girl in the top 10, and they're hardly majestic.

On top of this, there's the obvious problem of not being able to eat in the morning of the tea part or the night before, for fear of accidentally passing gas during inspection. That's a worse crime than excessive hair, or even failing to thoroughly wipe yourself. The one and only girl I've ever seen play the butt trumpet during her inspection was blacklisted from every comm in the state. I'm not going to lie though, if I ever wanted to quit lolita, I'd do so by deliberately ripping a toot right in the head inspector's smug face.

Sorry for the rant. I just feel like the normalization of anal inspections has cheapened my once-noble, cute hobby. But I understand if you disagree.

I'm still tall and awkward and not cute. I wear lolita anyway. I love old school, not only was it what I first fell in love with, but it... kinda works out when I find things that fit. prints and random OTT things just draw attention to the fact I'm not cute myself. clothes can only do so much, sadly.

None of them are suuuper high-priority so I guess I should just wait around and hope nobody in the Southern Hemisphere grabs them for their summer before I can? Only one's a super good deal, the others are still kinda pricey, but it feels weird just letting wishlist items sit there.

But no seriously if you just apologize and tell them you had a scheduling snafu and downplay it, you'll probably be alright. If that's a dealbreaker for them, they're probably a rough company to work for anyway so might as well move on.

I'm really sorry you went through that. I hope you find someone better who loves you and wants to buy you a house.

I knew it wouldn't last forever since he was younger and he had his dreams, but he ghosted me. And I felt used. Like this guy spent all this time getting to know me and my interests as a tool just to say he was dating me. Which is exactly what I've been avoiding all my adult life. He contacted me recently to apologize, and maybe that's why I've been so depressed, but damn. We need to choose better people.

Worst part is probably the shitty self hate I've had for the last 3 years bc I thought it was just me being a fat fucko even when I ate right, and the stress weight from school and my diagnosed anxiety disorder

In other news, I'm dealing with the fact that I'm homo for the gull that got me into 4chan, anime, jfash and cosplay and she'll never feel the same bc I'm a fatty chan (BMI 24)

But hey, at least I'm not uggo, I guess?

My hair has been really awful over the last couple months, I haven't been able to get a haircut for a long time and it's always frizzy and shapeless. I used to straighten it but my good straightener died and now whenever I try to use the replacement my hair starts flipping after an hour or so. I've been wearing it tied back in a bun for weeks now because it just feels stupid to spend so much time trying to style it when it always winds up looking bad.

In one of my college classes there's a guy with extremely nice hair and I overheard him talking to someone else about the shampoo he uses, so I bought a bottle of it on the internet last night. I hope it helps but if not the next time I get a haircut I'll probably ask for my hair to get cut fairly short.

It's great that you go for it anyway, I'm trying to work up the courage to do the same. It's sad though because I think have a pretty good height for cute styles (5'2 or something) but my body shape doesn't work with them at all. Can't even really do anything about it, I have a narrow waist and wide hips/bigger boobs and working out or losing weight doesn't really change that much. I mean, sure, generally speaking my body ain't bad but it's just incredibly awkward and doesn't work at all with the aesthetic (for lack of a better word) I want to pull off.

It's a very, very weird movie though, and definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

Does therapy actually work?

[Anonymous No.9637959]

>>9637950
Yes, it does. You can't give up after just one try, though.
When meeting with a therapist, you need to click a little. Different therapists have different styles, and the good ones will be able to refer you to someone who is more suited to you even if they aren't the right person for you.

Also: while therapy is always a good option, you have to be willing to be honest. If you try to look good in the eyes of a therapist you're missing the point. Every time you see some edgy girl who is just SO TROUBLED, MAN who couldn't be helped by therapy--and she'll proudly tell you so--it's because she didn't want to be helped. You can only get better if you really want to get better, so respect the process.

When I was younger I was sent to therapists and psychologists to try to treat my Asperger's, but they usually just prescribed tranquilizers to shut me up. There are some that really just end up being pill pushers who don't give a damn about their patients

Word to the wise, anon, the type of person who says therapy doesn't work probably didn't work with a therapist and seriously try to get past their issues.
The gods-honest truth is that you need to choose to hate your weaknesses and still love yourself. It's the only way you can always try to get better, and it really is a choice.

Therapy is only part of a whole process for improving your life and mindset. You need to do those things, too! It's a whole process, y'know?

My bad. I've had some negative experiences with people who really needed help being talked out of seeking help, so I was being a bit snappish there.

[Anonymous No.9638226]

>>9638209
That's a pretty weak excuse for it to be /cgl/ related.

But frankly, this puts you in a sticky spot. The correct and moral thing to do is, unfortunately, to rat her out and protect her from it. She'll probably take a decade to forgive you, if she ever does, but at least she'll be alive and still herself.
They say heroic behavior is a tough business, since it means losing out for the sake of other people. Looks like you're going to know what that's like... or, y'know, have to live with the fact that you could've prevented a ruined life and chickened out because you were afraid of how she'd react.

I guess that's up to you.

It's still going to lead to a bad crowd. Anon is obviously worried about her, and not everyone wants to be some kind of party slag.

And, before you start on the standard "muh judgemental" nonsense, everyone judges people who act like burnout losers, because it's still a bad kind of person to be.

The morality on this one is totally clear. If someone's falling in with a bad crowd because they're an idiot, you don't wait. Once someone has hit rock bottom and figured it out for themselves, they've already wasted a ton of time and generally about all of their potential.

I had a fantastic time at Dragoncon. Now AWA is right around the corner and I'm excited but since about a week after the con I've had the most dreadful fatigue. Like sleeping 14 hours at a time fatigue. When I am awake I'm exhausted. I just wanna enjoy my con and not be a zombie. Tips? Caffiene/coffee/energy drinks aren't an option for health reasons.

As a recovering addict saved by fashion (this hobby has helped me make so many positive changes, from self care to money management skills to just getting off my ass and doing shit for fun instead of hanging out in my garage tweaked out of my mind) I can say this: she won't get help until she wants help. And if she's forced into rehab, she will not recover and simply develop a hatred for inpatient treatment and not go when she really needs to. She will be stubborn. She will insist she's fine until she's not. The best thing you can do as a friend is listen, validate her emotions, and make time to hang with her and do fun things sober. I was a binge user and I would binge because I had nothing to do and my friends were busy/not reaching out/also addicts. My binges would always calm down/end when my sober friends came back into my life. Depending on what she's on/the severity of her addiction, there may be a good bit of fallout in terms of mental health. So when you see your friend is no longer herself, don't abandon her. She's in there somewhere. Lemme know if you need any more advice, I can drop an email if you want.

But wouldn't you rather have not fallen down that hole in the first place? You know as well as I do that a person with a problem like that is always "recovering" and is never "recovered."

Oh believe me if I could turn back time I would. I learned a lot from battling this though. I feel like in the long term struggling has made me a better person. I still have cravings, I even relapsed a few months back but now I have the skills to deal with it because of treatment. I guess what I'm saying is it's good to nip it in the bud asap, but if she isn't ready to commit to getting better she won't.

Y'see as much as hearing people's stories helped me I can tell you that if I personally were dragged to a meeting in my active addiction I would be annoyed and not very receptive. It's easy to have that "It won't happen to me" attitude.

Well, fair enough, but the way anon worded it, she seems more like she's falling in with a bad crowd and just getting started. It might not be too late to prevent her getting addicted, y'know?

Personally, my problems were never a matter of physical addiction, so I can't speak to that. I can only wish for the best, and hope it hasn't yet reached that point.
