tfw desk job for a year = being the heaviest I've ever been

Kinda hate how I can't exactly complain about this to friends/family because my body isn't the type to look noticeably bigger when I gain weight (I just look more muscular), so when I do, they scoff and tell me that I don't look different or that I shouldn't complain. Might be the case, but I know my lolita and normie clothes have gotten tighter since the holidays.

It's a shithole, but I should go back to /fit/ for a while...

Moving in with my crush’s best friend later this year, no ulterior motive but I’m excited to be able to spend more time with them by association. We’re in different states and only see each other at specific cons but we get along really well. Even if it doesn’t go anywhere they’re a really good friend to me!

I think that just unfollows their posts, but doesn't necessarily have them unfollow mine?

I once commented on a friend's post and my mom sent me a text saying that she saw it despite being 'unfollowed.' I'm really paranoid about FB's algorithm now especially with public posts. Honestly, I should get rid of it, but I use the messenger app to keep in touch with friends so I just sort of haven't updated since 2015.

I'd never cheat on her but I worry that things are just... Ending. That things are over and I'm just prolonging a relationship that I no longer feel a genuine desire to continue, but rather I continue it because I can't remember anything before it anymore, and that scares me. I worry if I end things I'll develop that spark again or passion and I'll have lost her.

Got some people on my friends list, mostly because we've brushed shoulders in the community a few times but all in all I find them insufferable.

They're the kind of people who will whine on social media and people will haul ass to give them butt-pats over things which are a none-issue because they're delicate flowers.

If I post anything (once in a blue moon. I don't like people knowing I'm struggling) and might need at least one person to tell me it's going to be fine, nothing.

I found out one of the girls has put on a bunch of weight and her planned costumes don't fit her anymore and no one says anything, I feel strangely happy about it.

Honestly anon I know exactly how this feels. The best thing you can do is talk to your current gf and let her know how you feel. In my case it was the distance + moving too fast that made the honeymoon phase kinda die. Just make sure you guys are on the same page and if you feel like you’re uncomfortable with forcing your relationship then she should be understanding. Sometimes it’s hard but you gotta bite the bullet and say what’s going on! There’s no point in staying in a dead relationship, it’s better to break it off nicely in the long run.

You should try to talk to your friend properly, and explain that you're serious. I assume you're exaggerating because you still consider her a friend and is depressed, otherwise it sounds like she's just using you as her personal venting bucket without expecting to be emotional support in return and is generally a shitty friend. Of course, she might genuinely misunderstand and not grasp your situation, so definitely try to talk it out.

If that's not the case and she's genuinely too selfish to lend a sympathetic ear, you shouldn't put out with her emotional rants either.

[Anonymous No.9885183]

I just got a message on FB from someone who I haven't seen in years, the last time were really close was about ten years ago or something, and we got into a petty fight about things I don't even remember anymore. We used to be weeb trash together so that's why I'm posting it here.

We just kept each other on FB after all this time, occasionally liking each others things that we shared but it never went anywhere from there. I'm too scared to actually open the message in case things go pear shaped, and then they'll actually know I read it. I caught a glimpse of the opening line and it said something about asking how I was and if I would "like to take a stroll down memory lane" and now I just seriously want to puke.

Anyone else had anything like this happen? Did it go well or terribly? Any advice?

[Anonymous No.9885191]

>>9885183
Kinda. I distanced myself from a friend becouse of the weird stuff they were into. They asked me what was up months later. I told they stright up and they removed me.

If you do say anything dumb the work they can do is remove you. Maybe its not worth patching up the relationship, but if you atleast get back to 0 with the person ist that good enough? You never removed eachother so it could have been that big of a deal.

Back then the person was pretty dramatic, and I'd often get roped into various scenarios. Since then I've been through and seen some pretty serious stuff and have mellowed out completely and absolutely hate to argue with people/cause necessary stress for myself, but I'm not so sure about them.
I'd love to give them some credit since as you said, it was never so bad that we got rid of each other on our friends list and it's been a long time and we've both done a lot of growing up. It's just really scary to jump in head first.

I think what I'm going to do is wait for my partner to get home, have him read the message to check if it's 'safe' and see where I should go from there.
At the moment it just feels like all of my innards are going to come pouring out from an orifice - not sure which one.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I kinda get where you're coming from. From me it wasn't that long of a time, and it got pretty awkward after some dumb stuff, but I also know the instant stress and the desire to puke after seeing a message from them again.

You need to read the message and respond. As >>9885191 says, maybe the relationship is a bust, but removing each other is the worst that will happen, and best case scenario is that you both put petty things behind you and start from scratch.

Not reading the message and avoiding the issue will just keep the anxiousness eating you up, and it's really not worth feeling that way about someone you don't even care for much anymore.

If waiting for your partner helps you then go for it.

I agree with >>9885201 that it's a good idea to at least read and reply as it shows maturity on your end even if it isn't reciprocated.

Yeah, a 10 year friendship went toxic and we didn't speak for 3 years. FB weirdly was the chance glue that brought us back together. Yeah it took some talking but the distance had given us time and perspective and now we are close again. Obviously this is different for everyone, but honestly, this is a chance to see if it's better to heal things or move on. Don't fear what it could be, just go in with an open mind. It will be what it is. Then you can either have something good or cut out the bad.

At the very least, I'd read the message. If you need time to think it over (even a day) before choosing whether to respond or not, that's fine too. For reference, I was close friends with someone for about 7 years and then he ghosted me over something dumb. 3 years later, on my birthday this past year actually, he messaged me apologizing for what happened and that I was still important to him, but he understood if I didn't want to be friends again. I forgave him and it's like nothing even happened between us desu, we're very close again and chat all the time. Our friendship is actually the best it's been. So I'm glad I gave him another chance.

I've been worried that my LDR bf is cheating on me with his close female friend, and I ended up allowing this worry to lead me down a dangerous path.
I haven't cheated on him, but I recently found out a guy I befriended at a con is very sexually compatible with me, and now I realize we'd been inadvertently flirting this whole time. Now that I know just how easy it is, even hypothetically, I'm completely jaded. Why doesn't anyone talk about this? How can you continue caring for your relationship when there are succubi/incubi everywhere? How can you trust the one who says they love you, and how can you trust yourself? You couldn't possibly do this to someone you love, right? But it's everywhere. I've obviously had opportunities to cheat on him, but I had no interest in anyone but him, and I like to think I'm better than that. Now I know things aren't as cut and dry as I thought.

I'm not even mad if he is cheating on me anymore. He's an attractive, brooding guy IRL. Hotter girls than me probably throw themselves at him weekly, and he just doesn't mention it because he knows it'd drive me insane. I'm mad at the fact that I had hopes so high that I foolishly thought "Fuck all cheaters!!". It's this proud, self-righteous naivete that lead to the death of my own feelings. What does "I love you" even mean? I feel like I'm going through an existential crisis, and I have no one to talk about it with.

I think you're projecting your feelings of wanting to cheat onto your boyfriend coupled with a seeming inadequacy in the relationship of how you view yourself compared to him.

Not exaggerating, she had a hard time in college so she comes to me with complaints and rants and tells me she really appreciates it that I listen to her but I can't get a word in.

What the fuck do I even say to him, though? "I'm scared I'll cheat on you and I'm also convinced you're cheating on me. You saying you'd never do that is now nothing but a meaningless platitude to me and none of this is real :( :( :("? It'd just hurt him to know that I'd even come close to considering doing such a thing, and nothing short of essentially cutting off all his friends I think are dodgy (which would in itself be manipulative and fucked up - what kind of partner tells you to abandon your friends because they are scared?) would ever fully convince me to trust that he'd never do that.
He already told me he cheated on an ex before, and yet I know he still cares about her and thinks of her. People are complicated.
>instead of equating people to demons
People who reason like >>9885325 behave in pretty fucking demonic ways. Not everyone is just trying to live freely and happily. That's just how it is. Why even deny it? It takes two to tango, but some people will deliberately play with your emotions at weak times just to break up your relationship for a mad power trip.
>because you can't keep your pants on?
I can, and so can anyone else, so then why don't we all just do that? Why is cheating something so common in all societies and ages? If it's so widespread, can we even say with a straight face that "loving" someone means anything?

>>9885330
I've talked to him about it before, but it always boils down to him saying he'd never do such a thing. Then, I find out he's been hanging out in that one's friend bedroom and literally laying in her bed while high/drunk and no one else is around, she seems oddly devoted to him, he won't let me look through their DMs, etc. Just "little things" that don't constitute proof of anything, but add up to an unflattering picture. I really wish it was all in my head, I want to trust him.

Funny, because this is the exact thing you're considering.

It's common in societies because people, generally, are prone to lying,
>if I do this and just keep it a secret it's fine
Which is bullshit.

What do you say to him? Tell him you miss him, that you feel you haven't been speaking enough lately, and if you feel like you can be honest with him, acknowledge that LDRs are difficult to maintain specifically because of the distance, and explain that you don't mean to accuse him of anything, rather just get some peace of mind for yourself, before you ask him if he's been seeing anyone.
If you feel like you can't be honest with him and are unsure whether he's honest with you, I'm not sure why you're dating in the first place.

Have you ever considered you're this worried and almost cheated because of all this? Honestly imagine your friend or mother telling you about a guy doing this to them. Would you really say it's all in their head or would you tell them it's not worth being this upset even if nothing really is wrong? You've already said nothing will ever change as is, why stay for something you know will never get better? Are you really going to stop worrying when you're together irl years later and he's always working overtime with a female coworker? If you can't forgive someone for what they've done you shouldn't be in a relationship with them.

A couple of years ago when I was first getting seriously into lolita, I went through a very difficult period, spiralling into depression, suicidal ideation, formal diagnosis, therapy, medication, the whole shebang. I’m still impressed with myself for not dropping out of college and going full hikki. When I opened up about this to my only friend (who was studying psychology at the time) she told me that I couldn’t really be suffering from depression since I was skinny and buying fancy dresses all the time. She was the only one allowed to be depressed, though her therapist had been reluctant to diagnose her with anything more than mild anxiety for years.

I fully agree with >>9885149 that you should have a serious talk with her about this so there can be no miscommunication, but if she still doesn’t care after that it would be a good idea to actively seek support elsewhere, whether it’s a better therapist or your parents or new friends or whatever. Some people are just selfish, fair-weather friends and there’s not much you can do about that.

But do you regularly post those? I'll take a guess and say no.
I understand the sentiment of "I can't manage to..." but try not to fall victim to it myself. Screenshots are easy to create, and if it's from instagram you'll have the source bundled in one image. My pet peeve is when people post them in situations that only call for the original image itself, such as a reaction image. Shitty facebook reposts recreated in a screenshot such as the one above makes my blood boil.

Uh oh, this sounds like me and I feel bad, but he most likely is cheating. I don't like the situation, but in my case I didn't throw myself at him. We were happy, compatible weeb friends and that's hard to find. He pursued me and things happened during a vulnerable time in my life. I knew his gf would break up with him because of it, but I don't think he told her everything and it bothers me. I don't know why any self-respecting person would want to stay in a serious relationship with a cheater. As wonderful as he is to me, I will never give him my heart because he doesn't deserve it. It also bothers me he already has a sweet, loving girlfriend, but keeps seeing me. It's not fair to the gf. It's like she can't see she is worth so much more and could do better.

You should break up with him and be alone for a while. I'm sure you can do better as a single person. Just don't go straight for the con guy, give yourself time to recover and find your self-worth.

You may have not stuck your dick in her but its pretty obvious that you're already willing to jump ship for this girl and didn't even bother to at least try and fix your relationship first.

Continuation. Sorry, gulls, I just need to vent.

I guess a part of this slump is that I found out lolita doesn't make me look more interesting or artistic to others anymore. Probably, it never did before, but to me myself I looked like someone I'd pay attenton to if I saw such person by the street. Now I know for sure people will ignore it at best or just silently judge me for wasting money I could spend for a car or not looking conventionally attractive. It's like I looked like a cute weirdo before, but now I'm just a jerk, who waste a time and money instead of doing some serious thing. I guess, that's the thing that took away the confidence I've been receiving from wearing lolita. Anyway, I'm still going to give it a try, lets see how it works this time.

Maybe consider why you want to wear lolita in the first place. If you do it for validation or to appear more interesting to others, you're probably into it for the wrong reasons.

I've also matured enough to know what stuff and hobbies I genuinely enjoy and I will continue doing what I like since it doesn't hurt anyone.

As long as you're a functional adults that can pay your bills, contribute to society through work, and has friends that you're comfortable with, do whatever you want.

Gee, it would sounds like you're one of those people who are tempted by cheating. You shouldn't cheat, and you should consider distancing yourself from the person since you've realized there's temptation. However, close friendships aren't synonymous with cheating so do not jump the gun regarding your LDR. You own feelings will play into your assumptions, and temptation will heighten your paranoia that he could be cheating. I've been on the reverse end of this, and, ironically, it turned out they eventually cheated after the accusing me... Trust me, you don't want to accuse someone of cheating when they'd never dream on doing so; it was very hurtful from my perspective.

All that said, don't cheat. However, ending a relationship that doesn't fulfill an important need isn't selfish, and long distance is generally accepted to be an acceptable reason to end something. It's a sad reason, but not seen to be selfish. Sincerely consider whether or not you can handle a long distance relationship. Your partner having to go on a 1-2 month trip every now and then is one thing, but consistently being apart from one another isn't for everybody. You should considering ending it if distance is unbearable, but not because some hot guy waltzed into your life. You can think about men in your proximity afterward.

>Girl I used to talk to and was head over heels for before current gf is going and wants to meet up with me
What's the point of including you were head over heels for her if that wasn't relavant to your affections? Also, you have past history with her so obviously the risk if you having feelings back is pretty high, ESPECIALLY since you're already losing feels for your SO. Oh and the fact that she wants to meet up probably means you guys have been talking a lot (probably a lot more than your own gf considering you're ignoring her)

>I'm not. Did you even read my post? I'd never cheat on her. It's less about who the specific person is and more about a relationship feeling like it's ending.
Bullshit, you are already halfway out the door jumping ship because you can't even be fucked to talk to your gf about this or even talk to her in general. Communication in LDR is extremely important and someone who genuinely cared to at least fix their relationship wouldn't avoid calls like you said here >and I'm starting to avoid talking to her via call (it's long distance)

Problem is that I think I'm pissing off one of my friends. But she already forced me to come out three days ago even though I was literally crying from something entirely different. I'm so socially exhausted from that and I don't want to go again. I just want to stay in my house all day.

You should stop buying the foods you’re avoiding and replace with “healthy” snacks. Fruits, nuts whatever. Empty carbs, rice chips idk.

[Anonymous No.9886424]

>>9886417

Distract yourself. If you've got time to be laying in bed then that allows your mind to wander. When people are bored they snack or eat because they aren't pre-occupied.

Do something that really engages your mind. When I'm stressed out I'll binge Overarching because I'm having to look out for multiple targets and watch my team - bonus points if you've got a friend you can play and chat with.
If you REALLY have to eat something, go for something healthy like apple slices, a banana or carrot sticks. Some people even chew gum to take the edge off because at least you have something in your mouth to chew.

Is it possible the drugs are the culprit for making you get the munchies? Do you even have an exercise plan?

Trying to restrict like that will force your brain to crave food. Slowly wean down the drugs and it’ll keep your metabolism from being fucked in the future.

If you get he urge to overeat, set a timer for x minutes and either try to distract yourself or identify emotions that may be leading you to eat.

One more thing
>16 year olds surviving with anorexia
They are literally at the bare minimum surviving. The brain gets so slow with anorexia you can’t really function, your grades shoot down, your emotions and depression are so bad it almost resembles OCD in the obsessions girls can have. Then even if they recover, if they’re down for a few years their heart starts to give out around 40. They aren’t doing well at all even if they act it.

So don’t judge yourself too harshly for acknowledging your biological signals instead of developing an extreme disorder. You can still lose weight, but have some faith anon

I know this feel so well. All my friends are extroverts who unwind by socialising so even if I tell them I’m exhausted from work, they don’t understand why I wouldn’t want to hang out and take it personally. I’ve lost friends this way. To them, hanging out IS relaxing but to me, too much socialisation when I’m already tired often ends up with me breaking down crying in the bathroom. They’ve seen this happen several times over the years but still don’t get it.

Since I’ve started working full time I’ve made Sunday my rest day, when I stay at home and sew or craft or try out new coords in front of the mirror and don’t leave the house unless absolutely necessary. Saturday is hangout day. Unfortunately most lolita comm meetups are on Sunday, though...

>cosplay character wigs and circle lenses everywhere, but god help the unsuspecting person who compliments them on their cool costumes
>people who seem to be completely unaware of themselves and always have their petticoats hanging out, painfully ill fitting bra giving them back boobs, wigs on lopsided, smudged makeup, pose like drunken sailors, etc.
>and no matter how often you point these things out to them or offer to help them fix it, they always revert back within the hour
>that one perma-ita with the obnoxious makeup and style choices which she thinks are avant-garde, who always spends the entire time complaining about haters being too small-minded to understand truly visionary fashionistas like herself (when honestly she looks like a depressed clown)
And the worst part is that not only are most of them in their 20’s or older, they think that they’re so much better than “the normies” and will bitch about them the whole meet instead of having fun. We’re a group of weirdly dressed dorks, get over yourselves.

Okay, I don't mean to rag on you, just want to make you think about this a little differently so go with me here: Say you are posted in the ita thread; and then what? What's the absolute worst thing that can happen in that case? Do you think that anon saying your dress is ugly/your coord is sloppy, means anything in the grand scheme of things? Does it mean you won't ever look good in lolita? Does it mean everyone hates you and you won't ever make friends in your local comm?

And another question: Why do you want to fit in so bad?
Obviously if you're into an obscure subculture like lolita, you want to connect with others who also appreciate it and maybe make friends; let me give you a hint: Doing this on 4chan is probably a bad idea. Sure, we have the friend finder thread, but otherwise anons feel free to shit on others even if they have no valid reason to do so, just because they're anonymous. You won't even know if the anons (hypothetically) shitting on you are actual lolitas, or if they aren't itas themselves.
I understand your worries but at the same time I'll advise you to, again, take it in stride. The less you worry about making mistakes, the more fun you're going to have. And this is what it's about (or at least should be about) - Having fun. For yourself, not for others.
Have fun getting dressed and expressing yourself; if someone has concrit or a suggestion to offer, hear them out, maybe their suggestion will help you dress better, or maybe not, it's up to you whether to act on it or not.
Do you understand what I'm saying? You can't have fun if you worry about strangers' opinions so much, and if you can't have fun wearing silly frilly dresses, then what's the point of doing it at all?

Sometimes in this train of thought, I feel bad that I got so involved in lolita - like, I could have a much bigger saving's account if I hadn't blown money on the hobby.

>at least I've got a good network of friends out of it?

I'm constantly reminding myself of people who didn't reap success until their 40s+, to not get caught up on more privileged friends' lives on social media,and that while it sucks that I wasn't born with Trump's dad's money, I can still turn out ok.

Yes. Despite being on this site since 2006, I only now just took interest in cosplay.

[Anonymous No.9887295]

>>9887280
Glad to hear that. As your costumes improve, you’ll likely need to get comfortable with traditionally feminine tasks like sewing, applying makeup, and yes wearing wigs (unless you’re doing 100% armor or mech builds or something of the sort). So it’s in your best interest to do away with the notion of it being weird for a guy to do those things.

Objectively I'm alright but I probably do suck. I'm just some no-name artist so I'm really not very good.
I usually do get more attention for my art, but there are exceptions (like now). It's just disheartening when a picture of myself or whatever dumb shit gets more attention than something I put real effort into creating does.

actually I'm not a lolita account, so none of my followers are lolitas except for the very few that followed me for my coord shots.

"dabbing" it with water likely just diluted it and spread it, which is why you're still seeing a splotch. wash it, and stop being a moron.

So, I'm probably going to cancel my AX plans, can't find a job, and am running out of money to plan for the upcoming con. It would probably be fine if I could sell my old cosplays but no one's been interested. Is there a better way to sell cosplays than facebook groups? I don't exactly have an instagram following or anything.

Anyway gl with your treatments and the novelty of pink urine (if it's injections). Read up on methylcobalamin vs cyanocobalamin particularly if you're needing to maintain levels with tablets or a spray

If a cosplay doesn't make you happy to wear anymore, it's a legitimate solution to get rid of it. Even if you did spent a lot of money, you can consider it already having been invested into the times you did wear it and had a good time.

If you feel bad just tossing it, put it up on a facebook group or something and give it away, or sell it and just charge a small fee. Someone else will get to wear it and enjoy it after you.

So I recently met up with a girl I've been talking to a few weeks online and while we where talking she told me abkut her friendgroup and what they do together etc. Just exactly that kinda stuff I've wanted for years but didn't even think really exist. Some wholesome weeb trash friends whom one can cosplay with, go to cons and so on. I never had any friends that where particularly into cosplay and only ever went to cons with my cousins, whos a real pain most of the time. Everyone of her friends sounds like such nice people and I kinda wanna be included but don't wanna be that weird guy that just kinda latches on to them. Idk what to do, this is probably my only chance to finally fulfill that one dream of mine and I really dont wanna fuck it up.
