I hate how internally competitive I get but I'm especially upset because I'm incredibly aware that I'm out of shape and not even sure if I could execute half the things I'd like to do for the cosplay I have planned. Feels real fucking bad.

I really want a lolita friend or two but I really don't like gatherings in big groups. I've tried going to meet ups but there's so many people its more exhausting than anything else? A lot of the members in my comm are a lot older than me as well so its hard to connect with them.

Inb4 "just do it the healthy way", naaah, but I promise to eat healthier and exercise after these 10 days of shitting are over.

I know I'm being petty as well but it is so annoying to see someone so rotten be so successful and put on such a nice, innocent face. Especially when she's making a big fuss over me while I literally did nothing to her.

I've been working on a cosplay for a while and have a convention in 2 days, but all of a sudden I just have the urge not to cosplay.
To just get some normie clothes together, and some nice makeup.
I kind of hate this because I want to show off this new cosplay I made, but I'm also afraid to wear it in case it makes me uncomfortable after a while.
I'm in a constant mind battle.

I feel so awkward in large groups that I spend most of my time sitting in a corner staring at my phone, because the alternative would be sitting in a corner staring straight ahead and that's just creepy. So unsurprisingly I haven't been able to make any friends in my comm. the only small, cozy meetups are private ones among friends that I don't get invited to. I've tried making my own small meetup but nobody was interested. Maybe because nobody knew who I was? Idk but it feels like a vicious circle.

Go to a big meet-up. Look for the group that is asking if people wat to eat somewhere after the meet-up. Usually these turn into a smaller more cozy meet-ups where you can actually get to know people.

I feel like my friend threw me on the backburner on my own cosplay group idea.
>idol group. Matching outfits.
She switched her character without telling me so she could fit a group she's doing for an out of state con, so I can't even cosplay with her in that group. She bought the fabric without me, gets angry when I say I don't want to go shiny on the outfits. But I compromise since I want to match. She went out afterwards and bought the notions for her costume without me. Lace, buttons, etc...

>mfw I realize she's complete forgot about me to make this group cosplay for her other group.

At this point I'm just going to say fuck it and do it how I want since she didn't give a fuck to ask my input on anything.

>>8925873
In my experience the girls who go off to eat something afterwards are in pre-existing friend groups and made lunch/dinner arrangements beforehand, so I'd feel really awkward butting in. I've never witnessed someone ask the group at large if anyone wants to get something to eat. I guess my comm is more clique-y than most.

I work nights so it's really hard to make it to lolita meets. They always seem to meet at 12 and I'm only awake by 1. I'd sort out a meet but I'm far too nervous and I only really have one coord. I'm shit at being lolita.

>>8925968
You're forgetting that lolita is just a fashion style, attending meetups or belonging to a comm isn't mandatory. I understand that you might feel more comfortable wearing the clothes with other lolitas but you shouldn't feel like you're "shit at being lolita" because you don't attend meets; it's a fashion, just wear it.
As for having only one coord, it's a start. If you truly enjoy the fashion you'll build up a wardrobe gradually.

Different anon but my first sexual relationship kept giving me horrible UTIs. After a few months I found out that he thought that being circumcised, he never had to wash his dick. Ever. Accused me of nagging and being hysterical when I asked him to please wash himself. Noped out of there pretty fast.

Most western makeup trends are designed to make you look like you have strong bone structure and if you already have stronger features naturally it can make you look really mannish. I went through a similar revelation when I figured out that 'droopy' eye makeup and straight eyebrows make me look much younger and softer than arched eyebrows and cat eyes. This is after being practically ridiculed several times by makeup artists at malls for not wanting to look ~sexy~ like Kim Kardashian. Not everyone wants to be sexy FFS

Depressio and anxiety have come up and hit me like a fucking brick wall recently. The past three weeks of my life has been one long anxiety attack - I'm finally going to the doctor for the heart palpitations tomorrow.

I can't breathe. I can't concentrate. I can't sleep. I feel virtually nothing for my partner or my pets and family. I can't bring myself to actually make anything or promote my store and feel like a fucking idiot for trying to build it. I stared the whole thing in the wrong direction and I don't know if it's too late to change it now. I'm jealous of the people who are out making gorgeous costumes and gowns, or unique, one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces instead of cheap resin shit.
I have $700 worth of fabric sitting around that I need to just sew up and sell at ridiculous prices to get rid of. I wish I'd planned things properly and not bought all of it.

>>8926166
Anon, please seek help. I know it seems pointless, and stressful. But please just go. I never wanted help. I never thought things were "that bad" for me. But once I got on medication, and started seeing a therapist, everything improved. My self esteem went up, my overall happiness was through the roof. I was able to enjoy the company of others again.
It sucks to be sad, and my heart aches for you. I really hope things get better for you.

to be fair, circumcision is totally useless so if it's not for religion(most aren't) they use that as the main reason to do it in modern times.

Says who? In the 90s people did this with online guestbooks and today people do it on social media or forums. Where is the problem?

>>8926683
>totally useless
I would disagree since my younger cousin had to be circumcised for health reasons. He was 5-6 at the time and cried a ton, and it would probably not be as traumatic if he has been circumcised at birth. Still, I don't think that it's something that should be done unless medically necessary.

>>8925901
Part of it is that the size of the meets mean that publicly asking ppl for dinner is the same issue. It's hard to casually find dinner for 10.

Searching google apparently it is somewhat true in the past but now not so much since they take other risk factors into account that weren't being addressed before.

I'm pretty much like you that I'd rather have it only done if it's a medical necessity or when they're old enough to make the choice for themselves.

I'm the same way with ear piercing. I feel awful when I see people getting infant girl's ears pierced. That's done for purely cosmetic reasons. I feel like once they're old enough to make that choice for themselves, then pierce their ears.

Hopefully this doesn't sound whiny and/or entitled...

>have been cosplaying for a while (about 6 years)
>usually alter clothing/bought costumes/commission my outfits
>want to actually be able to make things
>not even remotely sure where to begin
>don't want to immediately suck at it and waste money on supplies bc I'm about to be poor af graduate student/adult

Most of my friends have taken a tough love approach with "you just have to do it and get frustrated and suck at it" which I understand but sucking at it and pouring money into things I'm not even sure I can make is frustrating when I'm getting older and need to be smart about my money. Like the idea that I could spend money on supplies and make plans and try my hardest only to not even be able to come up with a garment I want to wear is horrifying to me. I don't want to just stop cosplaying because I think I still have some good many years of it left, but I'm sick of spending so much of my extra money to commission when I know I could be making things myself...

>>8926943
Do you have friends who can help you on it anon?

While the first time you make stuff usually will suck, I suggest you buy cheaper materials to do the draft pieces and alterations on. I found that some more independent fabric shops will sell poly poplin fabric for pretty damn cheap(usually less then $2 a yard.) It's heavier then quilters cotton.

Also, if you've been altering clothing, you can also use clothing to draft patterns for stuff if you're not comfortable working with commercial patterns yet. You just find stuff that's similar in shape and fits about the same to the pieces you need and copy it off of that. I used to do that before I started trying commercial patterns.

I've obviously studied for the test but that's just added stress.
Not cgl related, but my father was in the airport during the Brussels attack on his way home (live in Switzerland) and he got home safely. I feel like that is all of the luck I will get this week.

The problem is that those are mediums where condolences and feelings are expected to be expressed for those who are deceased. As sad as it is, a person's death doesn't have anything to do with lolita or cosplay as a whole. You might also be upsetting the friends and loved ones by posting the deceased on 4chan where kind words are -not- always expected or moderated a la "HURR BUT WUT ABOUT HER BRAND? XD"

I do agree with this. There seems to be nothing on Tumblr, or, anywhere. The only place I can find it reported is here, and the thread's been deleted. It would be nice to know more, and discuss in a more, uh, calm environment.

>>8927282
Anon, put it this way, if you add more water to it and find that it doesn't remove the stain, then all you've done is created more of a stain that will be able to be removed somehow, if removing the initial stain is possible.

>>8927451
I didn't make the original fucking thread, I just tried to steer it into a positive angle. I wouldn't have made one for the exact reasons you listed, but it was already there so why not try to keep it going so people would know and be able to anonymously talk about their feelings. I knew there was the chance of people becoming negative which is why I started posting the pics and tried to encourage people to memorialise. I would've expected the mods to at least try a little bit in order to keep the thread a little civil, rather than just hammer the shit out of it at first sight.

>>8927521
I don't use tumblr so I wouldn't know, and all information is up on facebook. there was a thread on rufflechat that appears to have been deleted with no explanation, and a thread on IG (kitsuke group). I can go through my history to find the link for you if you insist (it was in the OP of the thread iirc, check the archives), but the only information given was that she died last Thursday, and the funeral is on the 25th with only her close family there. someone later mentioned that her family doesn't want to give out any other information at this time so folks wouldn't ask.

i'm so tired of my mother stalking me on social media. she claims to not care about me cosplaying and told me she doesn't like it when i talk about it, but gets offended when i 'keep things a secret' from her i.e con plans and receiving cosplay items in the mail. i posted cosplay progress on my ig and she yelled at me for not informing her of my plans.
wish i could block her on my social media accounts but she throws a tantrum and claims i'm keeping secrets. i just want to cosplay in peace.

Wear your costume. You worked hard and you can totally wear it without them. Fuck 'em. Group cosplays sounds like a nightmare.

>>8925163
I can be your normie(ish) friend, anon

My feels:
At every damn meet people are always talking over me. Whenever I try to say something, someone else butts in and people start listening to them over me. It's like if I told a joke nobody would laugh, but if someone else told the same joke everyone would piss themselves laughing. It's so annoying and I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've been told I'm too quiet though.

>>8927006
You no matter how much research you do you still have to do it. I have taught some naturally skilled people but there is no real replacement for practice and experience.

>>8926669
Uh. Wear it anyways. That's your cosolay you can do as you like with it. That said you should of checked up on your group mates. I havent been a part of a group cosplay that doesnt having a nagging mother figure that magically works out. A boot in the ass is some times needed for you to all be cute together. Any hard feeling disappear when the photos come rolling in.

I suck at picking out blouses
I suck at finding accessories
I suck at coordinating
I can't into makeup
One of my prints is wrinkled.

I keep buying main pieces without finishing coordinates. In my defense I thought some of what I already owned would match.

Lastly, my blacks don't match.

>>8927785
I'm going to for sure. I'm just annoyed that they're acting like I'm being a bitch for doing so.

>>8927894
I had checked in with them, and they said they were working on them and even sent a couple progress photos. I shouldn't have to nag two fully grown adults in their late twenties to finish something they agreed on months ago, especially not when this group was their idea in the first place. They're both normally pretty reliable, so I'm not sure what happened here.

>tfw you graduation ceremony will never be this awesome

>>8927897
I know it can be overwhelming, but lolita is definitely a process. try and tackle one issue at a time. study the colors and materials in your main pieces for starters. that will help you when buying accessories, and also coordinating them.
as for make-up, a little could go far. experiment with simple, clean eye makeup, teensy bit of blush, and a rosy chapstick.

Cheer up, dear anon. make it fun!

To be honest, despite being the same healthy weight for a while, I've been unhappy with my body, but I've recovered from an eating disorder and know that it's hard for me to tell sometimes. I'm 5'7" with a 66cm waist, which feels huge to me. Occasionally, over the past few months, I would express that aloud while trying on clothes or something, and he'd deny it. But recently he caught me looking at my stomach (which, again, is the same size it has been for a long time) and mentioned that I'm looking kind of chubby. I got upset, obviously, and he tried to insist he didn't mean anything by it and that he still finds me attractive and blah blah blah, but I just don't understand why NOW, after being the same size and not sure what I should feel about it for so long, he finally admits that I AM chubby. I wish he'd told me a long time ago honestly so I could have been certain and gotten to work instead of not being sure if I'm genuinely chubby or that's just my ED crazy talking.

To keep it on topic, I am excited to be losing a little weight and to see how brand will look on me when I'm a little more slender. And maybe it will give me more confidence to get back into cosplay.

I'm trying to keep it fun! I'm just frustrated, and probably too picky on blouses/accessories. Those are honestly my biggest weakness. Not helped by the clusterfuck I call a wardrobe. It's a stylistic textural nightmare. Shantung, velveteen, chiffon, cotton, ect. Thankfully I've kept the colors limited.

>>8928536
Fucking gothic Lolita problems man. I have an old school-esq AP blouse and I bought an old school skirt and damned if the blouse doesn't look navy next to the skirt. And it's uniform so it was either like that from the beginning or it faded when the previous owner cleaned it. I was livid honestly. Matching black is hell.

I'm so sick of this shit. I won't unfriend because I think it's harsh but what the fuck. I get that cosplay is just a hobby but it's also competitive (contests, etc.) and there's not a problem going above and beyond to look like silly cartoon characters for fun or for sport unless you're hurting yourself or literally cosplaying an offensive sterotype.

As for the last thing, I think it's fine to cosplay something from an anime you don't love as long as you like it even a little bit. Maybe that's just me?

Anyway stuff like that has gotten so annoying on my feed that I feel like I should start going to cons w entirely different people now.

>>8928562
That sounds cute. I chuckled.

>>8928685
If you want to keep them on your friends list, unfollow them so it doesn't show up on your feed anymore. It's what I did with family members who I find annoying.

first part, laziness.
second part, "I was nagging him"/"I've been taking sponge baths"/"the shower is small and i dont like it"
third part "i've been meaning to but this videogame is having an event..."

intimacy have been cut off from him
I wish his friends would give him shit too
I saw him yesterday and I was like "looks like someone's fresh out of the shower!"
he didn't. his hair was just so greasy it looked like he did.

I'm becoming more of an asshole about it (rightfully so) which makes him want to shower less.
"I'll shower if you brush my hair first"
>brush his greasy flaky hair to prevent it from turning into dreads
>he doesn't shower still

kill me senpai. I love him to death i just want his ass to bathe.

I really wanna be friends and do lolita stuff with someone i was close to in the past but grew apart from. We're on okay terms but it's still kind of awkward because of ancient drama. We don't live super close either so I can't really propse a casual hangout when it will involve either long ass drive both ways or staying the night with her. I've kind of resigned myself to never hanging out with her again but ugh it would be so nice to reunite and get to bond over lolita. Ibjust feel like the opportunity has been missed.
Plus I'm bad at keeping up communication thru anyway so even if we hung out and had fun it doesn't mean Wed even get to be good friends again

>>8929000
I have the same problem with my husband. It's mostly laziness and his work schedule. Thankfully he's showering more often.

I once didn't wash his laundry for a month because he kept refusing to clean the trash out of the car(one of the few chores he has) The man was lazy enough that he refused to clean the car or wash his own laundry for a month. He finally cracked after he realized I wasn't backing down.

You're going to have to stick to your guns and basically harden up with him. Do you guys have certain chores you're suppose to do? Do you wash his laundry? Basically tell him if he doesn't start showering you're not going to do stuff for him anymore. You cook for him? NO more meals for him.

Tough love time anon, if he expects you to do things for him, he should have the decency to do basic decent things like bathing regularly.

How can you even be with someone like that....

>>8929017
I'm in the same boat as you pretty much doing all the chores.
>suddenly stop cooking for him
the madman would starve himself and be like "guess i'm not eating" hoping i'd feel guilty and feed him anyway.

doing what you recommended would probably lead to several fights/arguments but I'll try anyways and report back what happened.

>>8929039
>fights and arguments

Unfortunately that happens. It's going to suck that you'll have arguments over something so stupid. But when you have somebody acting so damn stupid, sometimes you end up acting like the parent dealing with an ill behaved kid rather then a significant other.

I'd definitely start with the cooking. You're going to have to be firm with him about it. Something like "I've asked you multiple times to shower, every time you've made an excuse to not do it. It's been three weeks and I've had enough. Since you can't respect me enough to do something as simple as take a shower, then I won't be cooking for you anymore until take a shower.

and you absolutely HAVE to stand your ground on this. Basic hygiene should never have to be something that acts as a bargaining chip, but if he's going to act that way, then you have to play hard ball.

>>8929014
I don't think I'm the person you're talking about, but I feel the same way about a person I used to know.

If you're reading this, I miss being friends with you.

I'd mom my guy if I had to, I'm stupid loyal, but thankfully I will never need to do that.

I have an 84cm bust, 58cm waist at my current weight and most of 4chan has declared me fat. As someone who weighed 40lbs less when they had an ED *it will never be enough*

There will always be some dick that calls you fat or some 'helpful' family member who tells you not to bother trying something on when you pick it up off the rack.

But you know there are people many times your size and you fit brand just fine, especially a classic brand known for not being too forgiving. As long as that's the case you know you're not a hamplanet and pls stop with detox teas and laxatives before you end up with chronic bowel problems- it's not fun.

I am sure you're fine as you are, I'm trying to imagine the context in which he's just let 'chubby' slip and I wonder what his build is like... Being next to a really skinny bf can make you feel fat as fuck.

Why the fuck are so many men like this? My boyfriend doesn't shower every day and that's enough to piss me off. He doesn't do any chores on his own initiative, sometimes he'll say "do you want me to ___?" but come on you're a grown ass man I shouldn't have to answer that, just clean up after your damn self. Instead he'll just play video games for hours on end and it drives me insane.

>>8929316
The dick can go fuck his greasy self, I'm concerned about the woman in this situation. I understand putting up with certain things you don't like about your partner but this is fucking manbaby behaviour. Why is this supposed adult incapable of taking care of himself? Did he move straight from his mom's house into anon's? If anon went away for a month, would this guy spend the entire time sitting around in his own filth eating take-out? I just don't understand how anyone could love an adult like that. It's normal for a small child, but absolutely fucked up for someone you're having sex with. You deserve better, anons.

>>8929317
Because they were taught that cleaning and cooking are women's work and he won't have to do any of it once he gets married.

I'm going to guess you might be apple shaped then? Even if you had a smaller waist some prick would call you fat, but I'm willing to bet you have very slender arms and legs and at that height you can pull off elegant classic unlike a petite pear like myself. It is a bit insidious for your bf to have held that opinion so long to then blurt it out and pull the proverbial rug from under you. I can imagine feeling paranoid about the way he percieves you now after all that time you were the same size and he said nothing... Try not to think about it, honestly. If you do decide to lose weight do it for yourself. I'm a meso-endomorph who bulks muscle stupidly quickly, so lifting isn't isn't a weight loss/size reduction option for me but that sounds healthier than you starving yourself or abusing laxatives, be they a prescription preparation or teas.

>>8929000
This is so repulsive to me. I'm so grateful to have a boyfriend who showers at least once every day, more if he works out or it's particularly hit outside. Why the fuck are you dating a man child with terrible hygiene? Respect yourself. He obviously doesn't, himself or you.

W-what the fuck anons. This shit aint healthy. I mean i have bouts of depression where im too lazy to clean up after myself. But fuck even at my worst i didnt shower for 2 days over a weekend and i was disgusted with myself.

Same with cleaning things, im gonna bitch and moan but still clean up eventually.

>>8929318

This, i wonder what happens to people like that once they are cut off. Do they just stagnate in their filth?

>>8928049

Im not sure how exactly girls look at it. But as a guy sometimes we really don't mean anything by saying you are chubby. I know my Ex who was slim, got a bit fluffier on her period.

And its pretty much what >>8928081 says, its not abought weight itself, its about being nice and soft, compared to rock hard muscles. I really would not delve too much into what your bf meant, we can be assholes or at least come across like ones because we don't always know how much our girlfriends worry about certain things, and then we can end up saying something stupid.

I really don't want to bother doing all of the crappy easy cosplays that "build up your skill" like what's recommended. I know it would be a better choice, but laying out my plan and knowing my specific skill set I always think I could jump in to a more "difficult" costume and still do well, especially when It comes to props and crafting. Not to mention I have someone with a lot of sewing experience to peer over my shoulder. I just don't want to bother messing with costumes I wont enjoy making or doing but I know i'm probably over estimating myself.

I'm so sad about feeling like the ugly duckling all the time. When i see other pretty girls i just feel like the ugly little duckling in the middle of swans, a peasant surrounded by princesses. And i'm terribly unphotogenic. Thus looking hideous in picture and hiding my face half of the time.
People always tell me i'm "so cute"/beautiful/adorable/.. but seriously i think they do that out of pity, i look like the fusion of a young woman and a child in an uncute/awkward/disgracious way.
I even had one girl telling me i had "a special kind of beauty" which definitely means "you're ugly but i don't wanna hurt your feelings". once in a group picture a girl asked who was "the gorgeous girl at the far right" and it was me, she was probably mocking me like girls used to do in high school or when boys would ask me out jokingly. It hurts gulls. Or maybe i'm reading too much into this.

What a disgusting excuse for a human being. I sincerely hope he drags his rotting carcass into the shower as soon as possible because at this point he could rub the greasiest pizza on the planet all over his face/hair and I'm sure there would be no difference in terms of levels of grease.

Yeaah probably. I'm pretty paranoiac secretly Like,i see this lolita "friend" of mine sometimes (we don't really talk a lot/have a lot to say so i just feel awkward and like a bother) and on this day we stay at her house and talk about stuff then we go to eat some fries because hey whatever we forgot to eat breakfast and we're starving (fries are so rori) then we go to the supermarket for her grandma and she buys me a little pack of candy and i share it with her and it's cool. But then the minute i leave i'm like "maybe she's just pretending to like me,just by pity or something and maybe i get on her nerves", when i see someone never like my pictures but the ones of my friends i think "maybe i'm not good enough"', when i see lolitas of belgium hanging out together i tell myself "maybe i'm worthless and am not cool enough to be invited" (they don't even know me or barely as i'm introvert and don't even wanna be in a comm, what the fuck is wrong with me?

Wow, your mom sounds so careless. You need to teach her that cheaply made clothes can go in the wash and quality garments are the ones that need hand wash/dry clean only and sometimes cannot be washed. Does she really think celebs wash their formal gowns in the washer? My mom does the same thing though, doesn't pay attention and lumps everything together while trying to clean. I'm so glad I don't live with my parents anymore. It's like they think whatever you own is theirs too since you're their offspring.

I try but it's not working apparently. No one ever fell in love with me for something about my appearance. Only bits and pieces of my personality.

Went to the dentist found out I need fillings.
Feel like I can never be kawaii now.

I don't really understand how people can not fit in a 100 cm bust dress. I live in Nordics/north Europe so I've always been near relatively slim/skinny people. I don't think I've ever seen a proper hamplanet in real life... I guess I could kinda imagine it if someone seriously just has big titters? I'm not trying to bash on anyone, I seriously just haven't seen a lot of fat people irl.
OT but same kinda goes for black people, I discovered only a year or 2 ago that black people have pink mouths and tongues. I guess I always thought they look like those dogs with dark fur do on the inside

today is the 4 week mark.

I'm the only person he knows that has called him out on it- so he thinks i'm being a bitch. He gave me a long sit down talk about how i'm a terrible stubborn person about it and all he wanted was for me to not mention it at all- even hint at it at all for 24+ hours and he will do it on his own. it is past the 24 hour mark now, today.

If he does not shower today- since its been 24 hours with no mean remarks as promised- I will stop cooking for him and contact his mother about the matter. I should have done this two weeks ago.

its Easter tommorow. I picked out cute outfits for the both of us, he'd match my easter lolita coord and it'd be cute.
I just want him to look clean.

>>8931644
Wow... he behaves like a child not giving a fuck about good hygiene, i just hope he grow up and shower everyday, especially for tomorrow. Good luck anon.
>>8931638
I think the same, i have small boobs and in my country there aren't many bras that fit me (mfw my bras are gaping in the cups and it's the smallest size) but having more than 100 cm bust is more seen on overweight people, i don't get how so much people cannot wear a relatively big dress because big boobs unless overweight/obese aren't super common up to D where i live. Maybe in US too much people have big boobs.

Honey you'd better be withholding sexual favours until he gets his stanky arse into a shower

>>8931644
Anon, why do you hate yourself? Like putting up with this is crazy, I cant believe his dick is worth it since he doesnt clean it and you arent fucking him anymore either. I hope he has a lot of money because I cant think of a reason to stay with a guy this disgusting. So why do you love him? Why do you think he even cares about you? To him you are the 2nd mother. The only reason people are like this is because their parents are shitty and didnt make it clear that basic hygiene is a thing, and then people are too scared to be that guy who says something so they enable it. You too are enabling because you are too soft and you let him make it seem like you are the bad guy. Its manipulating and its a very lazy try at it since it isnt convincing. But you let him anyways.

You live with him though. Why the fuck did it get to the point where you are only now trying to deal with this over a month when he has been like this since you met. Why do you put up with filth? This isnt love, love requires the person to respect you as a person back and even if he didnt understand the point of cleaning he doesnt give a shit about you. If he did, he would have showered instead of lecturing you.

Stop wasting your time and leave him. If he already resents you for telling him to be an adult and do adult things there will never be a good ending to this. It isnt even like he wasnt aware and is trying to be better, he has no reason to care to do so because you sleep next to this sticky looser. There is no punishment. Nor should you care to try to teach him this, you are not his mother. Let him fail by being single and homeless and loose all of his friends because he cant do basic shit. There are plenty of nice smelling guys who will cook for you out there, you dont need to struggle with shitty guys.

God forbid you ever get sick and need him to take care of you.
"Honey, please bring me my medicine, I feel sick"
"Stop nagging me, I'll bring it for you in 24 hours if you don't bother me until then".
Not to mention if you ever want a child.
Does he have autims or some other disorder? Not a dig, it seriously seems like something wrong with him.

You both need to get some sort of counseling. If you love him and want to make your relationship work then you guys need to talk to someone, work out your issues, and learn proper communication skills. Calling mommy to tattle on his behavior isn't going to fix him. Are you really going to resort to calling her every time he won't adult? What if you guys get married? What then? Are you still going to call mommy in to back you up?

Also, he's obviously not working. If he were, then a supervisor would have said something by now. College/University student, maybe? That's the only way I can see his friends not saying anything. Have they been "busy with midterms" lately? Are they hanging around him less? Taking off after being around him a couple of minutes? If so, they've noticed the stench. Colleges usually have counseling services or resources you can use.

I'm also going to mention this because I haven't seen anyone else really come out and say it. Anon, you are being abused. This isn't childish behavior. It's emotional abuse. One of the tactics he's using is called blame shifting. It's the whole "if you weren't nagging me I would do it!" thing. You need to read up on emotional abuse and figure out if your relationship is even worth salvaging because if he's gone 4 weeks (and counting) without bathing then this is not a good sign. He's already trying wear you down on this. Once you give up on this issue, what's next? Is he going to stop picking up after himself? Stop flushing the toilet? Stop wiping his ass? ...Has he already stopped doing off of those things?

Loving someone that doesn't mean if they fall in the mud that you wallow around in it with them. It doesn't mean you keep giving and giving until you're exhausted. It doesn't mean you need to love yourself any less than you love them. You seriously deserve better than this.

She will then look at me and then point out all my flaws (and I will say right now that I had to get help for this, because I was starving myself to get to her expectations... even though I am the average weight for my age).

>When all her work load gets placed on me, and I have to do her work. The reason for this is because apparently she has problems (snowflake) and can get away with not doing work and with the work she does get, ends up getting dumped on me to do for her.

>So cringe, she doesn't wear deodorant or shower. She's white but says that only Japanese can be good lolitas. Also states that when she is older that she want's to get surgery to look more "Japanese! Kawaii-desu!" even though she has no job and already owes me so much money from buying her lunch when she forgets.

>When me and other friends plan to go away for the end of collage to my parents out-of-town house, and she insists on me letting her smoking weed there. And when I tell her no several times (along with the group that is coming with us), she chucks a tantrum and tell me that I am too strict and don't want to have fun.

Please help me gulls, I don't know what to do. She always tells me that "we are so close we are like twins anon-chan!" and that if I ever leave her she will kill herself. I have started saying no when she wants to make plans to go out but she is still so obsessive.

wrong country maybe, or you didn't get my point? we don't have as many blondes as other nearby nations, and everyone is just kind of out of shape (could use to drop 10-15kg or just get fit) but not really obese. like, I've never seen anyone who needs a wheelchair or golf caddy to move around or some shit.

>>8930915
I have this phobia of decay and dental work so between the fact that and the fact that getting a cavity in the first place makes me feel like a disgusting filthy pig I'm not in a good place. And it's like... Once you start getting cavities they just never stop and then you have fillings in every tooth and you're ugly and gross because your teeth are constantly rotting and... Yeah I have issues.

>>8930920
Not the dentist's fault I'm a disgusting breeding ground of decay and a waste of air.

>>8932280
Anon it's a simple fact of modern diets that you will need fillings at some point, pretty much anything you don't make yourself contains sugars and acids that decay teeth.

On the plus side, fillings arnt as obvious as they used to be! now they have white ones, and i think... resin ones? they hurt a lot less, and it uses a laser to solidify it. So no more big silver or black lumps in your teeth.

There is also a kind of toothpaste that helps the enamel grow back, but that stuff is pretty expensive.

>>8932280
>Once you start getting cavities they just never stop
honey, what? just get to brushing your teeth at least once a day (should really be twice) and deal with it. fillings stop the rotting. it's sort of a hereditary thing anyway - some people have awful dental hygiene and never get any, some could brush and floss 3 times a day and still get a cavity every once in a while. fillings are fucking invisible anyway, I have a part of my goddamn front tooth replaced with filling material because I chipped it at 11 or 12 and nobody has ever noticed. they choose the filling material to match your exact tooth colour.
the people you see in reality shows are like that because they've not had their cavities checked out. they probably don't brush their teeth more often than once a week and haven't been to the dentist in 5+ years. it's shitty and it hurts, but you have to suck it the fuck up.
I have the most unkawaii teeth ever (all baby teeth still haven't come out at 18, teeth are horrifyingly crooked, and my front teeth are half discoloured for no apparent reason) and I still go to the dentist as often as it takes.

>>8932283
I know but I still feel like a disgusting piece of trash that isn't worth the air I breathe. Making all of this worse is that I moved abroad for work a few months ago, so I'm trying to find a dentist here that I like and speaks at least decent English. The one I went to seems ok, but... I was annoyed I had to push for an Xray and they wanted to do the fillings that day with no Xray or anything.

>>8932287
See, I've always brushed at least once a day (mornings) and was a religious twice a year dentist checkup kind of girl until the last couple of years because of college. My family has shit teeth and really deep molars so I had sealants for most of my life to prevent this shit. I'd like to see about getting them put on again here. but language barrier plus a national health care system is a bitch to navigate.

>>8932293
start using mouthwash then, that helps a lot. you literally just put it in your mouth, swish it around for as long as it says on the bottle, then spit it out.
I'm sorry you've been having a shit time with finding a new dentist and shit (but an x-ray before a filling isn't really standard procedure and they do the fillings same-day in most places, so I'd go with the last guy you went to). that's probably a part of what's contributing to your fear. I hope you'll manage with it all, good luck anon <3

>>8932280
Jesus Christ what is wrong with you. Most of my teeth have fillings and you can't even tell. I don't know which dentist you've been to (or if you've ever been to one, as you should) but here in the 21st century it's not a big deal. Fucking yanks.

>>8932283
This, basically. I have like three fillings and I don't even know where they are.

>>8925979
Ask yourself why. If it's for the fame then you are possibly a famewhore. If ta cause you wanna be friends with everyone or something go for it. There's nothing terrible about wanting fame objectively I suppose.

>>8932298
Usually used that too actually XD Now I'm sure to use it daily. I guess I'm accustomed to my dentist back home who, despite being an ass, took yearly bitewing xrays as part of the checkup to make sure there was nothing brewing between teeth. Not doing that feels so wrong to me. So does the lack of fluoride.

>>8932300
If you had read other posts you'd know I went to the dentist twice a year until recently. And I'm 23. But between the language barrier. and my massive phobia of dental issues I'm not taking this well.

>>8930056
nope you're not being sensitive, you need to set clear boundaries

>>8932172

You can do better. Never doubt that. You want someone who shows interest your hobbies? They're out there! Someone who makes you breakfast on your birthday and surprises you with your dream dress? He/She is out there! Someone who takes of your emotional/physical needs without demanding shit in return, who helps build your self esteem up because they want you to be happy and confident, and who doesn't hurl abuse at you just because they can get away with it? They're out there. At the very least, you can find someone who is capable of taking a damn bath and being an adult. And if you can't afford rent by yourself there's always someone looking for a roommate out there. And if you need time to process? Take it. Just take one step/day at a time and keep moving forward.

And if you're not ready for/can't find therapy there are always books or websites/forums you can start with to help you work through this. Your "normal meter" badly needs to be reset, especially if you've been abused your whole life. Just don't blame yourself for this shit because his issues are not your fault.

At the very least educate yourself so you stop sounding retarded. Having a phobia is not an excuse for being this dumb especially since you should have basic knowledge of this from being in the modern age and going to a dentist. Also hate to break it to you but you are constantly aging so constantly closer to rotting.

Xrays are only needed if they cannot see the whole decay, and because it is pricey it is something they do sparingly. If you are going to a dentist for cavities they are going to do cavity work. They arent going to do a check up, and you dont want them to tell you to come back, unless you are ok with spending a shit load of money. This can get pretty expensive fast, the longer you are there, the more stuff they do, it all adds up crazy. I spend a grand on some cosmetic stuff recently.

>>8932359
I went to the dentist for a checkup/cleaning, and they found cavities. In my experience, checkups always came with xrays to check for decay between the teeth, as well as monitor my third molars/wisdom teeth (which yes, I still have). That goes double if there's any visible sign of decay.

Excuse me for a) having phobias, and b) being freaked out by a completely new dentist wanting to drill me the day we met, and c) being utterly baffled by the medical system in a country where I don't speak the language well and has a completely different system from the US.

And yes, the fact that my teeth are attempting to rot out of my head is a reason to be freaked out and feel utterly disgusting.

>>8932366
Just a fair warning but there might be a possibility of the dentist scamming you, they've been known to perform unnecessary (and sometimes dangerous) dental work just to make some extra money.

i hate to say it's more common in non-english/eu countries. It might be worth trying one or two other clinics and see if they have the same opinion.

>>8932172
You absolutely can do better than a shit head who thinks it's okay to be manipulative and abusive about personal hygiene of all things. I swear to you that is true. You need to go see a therapist, and I honestly think you should dump him and move out asap. Find someone looking for a roommate. Stay with any healthy family or friends you can for a little while. Whatever it takes. And if living alone or not finding anyone are serious issues to you, maybe talk to a therapist about that, too, because it sounds like a dependency issue. Good luck, anon. You deserve better. At the very least, you deserve an adult who respects you.

>>8932369
I was actually considering a second opinion. I live in Japan (with no insurance stateside as far as I know) but it still gets expensive fast. Less so than in the states, but being American I'm wary of national health insurance to a degree even though I recognize it's benefits.

>>8932234
Is that seriously all it would take for you to leave someone? You have no idea how long that girl has been with her boyfriend, and you want her to dump him because he called her chubby once and then, as she said in another post, tried to reassure her he meant nothing by it? Damn, dude. Grow up.

Because we're all dirty savages looking to scam innocent Americans/Brits, am I right?

This is total bullshit, especially since in most countries dentists don't even use laughing gas as an anaesthetic anymore as it's too dangerous and outdated, unlike American dentists. My poor Slav country has better, more reliable dental care than the NHS so I can say with certainty that you're full of shit.

>>8932102

You're an adult and being an adult means doing difficult shit. But this isn't difficult. You don't enjoy your time around her. You're exhausting yourself taking on extra work (class work or paid work?) because of her. She's smelly, she's racist, she's abusive to the point you've had to get some sort of help for an eating disorder and has tried emotionally blackmailing you by whining she'll kill herself.

Let her! She's not your responsibility. Let that idea go. You are not her parent, her caregiver, her nurse or her therapist. You are not responsible for another adult human's actions. If she actually tries that shit again then call an emergency number and let them deal with her. She'll either knock off what she's doing or she'll get the help she needs. Right now she's manipulating you because she knows it works and you'll back down. Did she actually jump? Was she injured to any extent? I'm betting since you didn't mention any injuries she knocked her shit off because you were freaking the hell out and satisfying Crazy Bitch's ego. I hope you realize that shit with the ED? She was doing that intentionally to make you tear yourself down.

Got a couple of classes together this semester? Start distancing yourself until the end of the semester then cut off all contact. Don't tell any mutuals what your schedule is for Fall so you can prevent them from passing your schedule to her. Then, limit communication with anyone trying to intervene or take her side because they don't actually give a shit. They're either in it for the drama or they just want her crazy off of them and back on you. If they care so much about her then they should love being her "twin," right?

>>8932231
Don't worry about "trying to ease her." She absolutely would not have jumped. And if she did, well, then she's very very sick. A fall from a second floor wouldn't have likely killed her anyway. If she does things like this, it is very much detrimental to your OWN mental health. Trust me, I got jerked around by my SO for years like this and the only one who suffered was me.

Has anyone every just like, lost their motivation and desire to do anything because of some shit someone said to them? I feel like my whole life is just the conglomerate of me trying to enjoy hobbies or subjects and slowly having the enjoyment of them sucked away because of snide comments. Until I became an insecure NEET who's too afraid to even try at things since I have no self confidence or drive.

>>8925163
OP just go on r/makeupaddiction

>>8931638
Same. In my country's comm the fattest girls still have a <85cm waist and I don't think any of them are over 100cm in the bust. A lot of us are over 1m70 tall, too. Certain dresses won't fit certain people, but nobody's so big that they can't properly fit into anything nice at all.

I know from the internet that there are apparently plenty of people in their early twenties who are truly obese but I just can't picture it IRL. I especially can't imagine how someone so young yet so fat is spending money on silly Japanese dresses they can't even comfortably wear rather than spending that money on losing weight and saving the rest for when they're a more normal size. Some of my aunts and uncles are really obese but since they're well into their fifties and sixties they've pretty much given up on getting back to normal and spend most of their extra money on their (grand)kids because they know they won't be around much longer. I don't understand how someone young, who still has an entire life to live, can just give up and stay fat.

I guess I have 'low national obesity rate' privilege or something.

I've been with my bf for 3 years and he's a truly great guy but I don't really feel anything towards him anymore. Part of that is because he's not really lazy (he does his chores, takes care of himself, picks up my slack when I'm busy with school etc) but all he does is talk about Fallout 4/whatever fotm vidya is popular and whines about how tired he is. He works a shit job for min wage and refuses to finish high school because he 'just doesn't like' one subject. But he's so enamored with me and talks about our future and always drags me with him to family dinners and shit and his grandparents and relatives don't even speak English so I just sit there like his arm candy and listen to him babble to his relatives/friends while nobody even pays attention to me. I pointed it out to him several times but he just goes 'but anon, they LOVE you! they want you to be part of our family/friend circle!' Coulda fooled me.

He doesn't share any of my interests, hates travelling, hates my home country, doesn't like my mother and all he wants to do is stay inside and have sex or play video games with headphones on so I can't even talk to him.

I feel so miserable but if I dump him I'll have his whole family and friends on my ass because I broke his heart bc 'he is such a sweetheart, anon!'

Just leave. If you're unsatisfied, don't prolong it. If all he does is make excuses for the things you're unhappy about, it's unlikely to change. If his friends aren't really your friends, bfd, if they harass you, block them. If they are your friends, tell them you were unhappy, and if that's not good enough, they're not good friends.

My mom is exactly the same. Ruined I don't even know how many of my clothes by washing them too hot or too roughly or by throwing whites in with darks even though I told her at least once a week that I'd do my own laundry and not to worry about me. Also used the same "well it must be cheaply made then and you overpaid" excuse every time she ruined something nice by mishandling it. I told her multiple times to look at the care labels (because she was ruining her own and my dad's clothes as well) and she'd say she would do her best to memorize all the symbols, but then she'd make the exact same mistakes a week later and forget that care labels even exist. Eventually I started hiding my laundry in a locked closet but when she found out it really hurt her feelings.

Now that I've moved out and have full control over my own property I get along with her a lot better. It's not even that she's abusive or purposefully pushing boundaries, more like she's pathologically 'helpful' and, frankly, not all that bright. It feels terrible to say this about my own mother but it's true. She's not very sharp and tries to compensate through sheer perseverance and helpfulness, resulting in a bunch of ruined clothes. RIP all my favorite chiffon blouses and oldschool velvet

If you can't get your mom to respect your boundaries and property it might be a good idea to wait with buying expensive stuff until you've moved out. Sucks, but yeah. I know what it's like to live with someone like that.

>>8932809
They do, they just don't want to with me. With their foreign friends they don't seem to have any problems adjusting

>>8932818
Going to completely honest. When it comes to clothes, fuck her. Fuck her right in the ass. She's shit and should know she's shit. She's an idiot but still somehow bright enough to realize that you were locking your stuff away because she was ruining it. Meanwhile she gets butthurt because she's too stupid to figure out either how to unfuck her cleaning skills or figure out that you leave it to someone who knows what they are doing.

I'm just typing out random words now. I'm that mad.

There's nothing wrong with dudes using face masks. I side eye guys who say they wash both their hair and body with the same soap instead of using something made for hair on their hair and something made for skin on their skin. And it's never some nice organic thing that could actually work on your skin and hair fine, it's always some crappy shit that's going to make your hair and your skin look bad.

>>8932231
A second story jump wouldn't have killed her. If she tries it again, let her. Strong chance she'll wuss out when she sees you aren't going to stop her, and if she does jump out a second story window you should call some mental health services for her and gtfo.

Yes, you're a fucking idiot and so is /fa/. Do you even know what a person would look like at that weight and height?

This isn't cgl related at all but I'm having a really rough night and I don't have friends to talk to so I need to post this somewhere. I feel like killing myself tonight. I've cut myself everywhere, even my face. It's 100 different reasons, the people I work with don't take me seriously and they don't respect me. My depression is effecting my grades. And the biggest thing that's been hurting me lately is my ex. We broke up 7 months ago after he cheated on me, but the email he sent me after it happened runs through my head all day for the past 7 months. He told me he cheated on me with my 'friend' because he hated me and he wanted to hurt me. And I just hate myself for making someone else hate me enough to purposely hurt me this badly. I don't want to live as this type of person.

>>8932092
Yeah no idea. I had to drag them to panels at Dragoncon, where the games came out again in line. Like, I can only sit around watching you for so long. I know one reason Harvest Moon people do it is so they can meet a pile of people in the game given the con is packed full of people. I'm not crazy social, but I'm not spending hundreds of dollars to sit around all con.

Killing yourself is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If he wanted to hurt you that's his problem, not yours. He isn't worth your time and he isn't worth your anger. The best revenge against someone who wants to get a reaction out of you is to forget that they even exist. He is not worth your thoughts, your feelings, or your consideration. He is nothing, not you. Let him pass from your life and focus the energy you spent dwelling on him on doing other things.

>>8933321
The opposite of love isn't hate it's apathy (or not caring about somoene at all). Your ex is highly likely to be sadist/narcist or combination of both. Even though he broke up with you a person like that doesn't want to be forgotten.
Suicide is one thing but please don't let that be the biggest reason because that's no way to go out of your life.
The biggest fuck you you can give him is just not caring about him at all and moving on.

>>8933359
Thank you for replying. I haven't spoken a single word to him since he sent that email. and that was 7 months ago. But I hate myself for still caring so much after so much time. I don't know why I'd still be in love with him? We were together for 4 years but I still had enough respect to leave him immediately. I just don't understand why I can't move on. I've been trying really hard in school, I'll graduate with honors. But it doesn't even matter to me. All that matters is how much I hate myself and how I can't make any friends.

>>8933321
offing yourself only transfers all your pain to everyone who cares about you and that's a bitch ass move.

your ex is a fuck, your 'friend' is a fuck

but I know how you feel anon. I went through a bad breakup in highschool and I just hated myself because I thought "wow... people hate me so much that I make them do terrible things.."

no anon, its not your fault they're terrible people, they were always terrible people, regardless of what you did. They're little shitstains.

you sound like the type of person that's been bullied your whole life. I'd be totally down to talk to you about shitty stuff that happened in our lives but i must admit i dont have a lot of free time.

>>8932092
In between panels I like to go to the anime rooms and watch anime with a fun crowd. Bring a bottle of soda and some candy, and it's pretty fun. I play vidya when I get bored of anime, or sometimes I go to the retro room to try games I might want to buy at some point.

Then today for example, was the last day at my local con. I spent the rest of my money in the dealers' hall and watched anime with a coke and skittles till the con closed.

>>8933367
Graduating with honor is a great achievement but if it's stressing yout out then maybe your mental health is more important!
A long relationship will always be really hard to get over because people really become a part of your life. You managed to make the right step in your life by getting away from him but it kind of sounds like you wonder what it would be like if he was still around.
It's time to start living for you and not for others, do you really want to graduate with honors, if not is there anything else like cosplay you would really love to imrpove in? I know it's hard but in this case it would really be for the best to give it another try!

I know you're right but it seems like a distant possibility. I went dateless for over 5 years and this girl just popped into my life by random chance. It was as if life just gave me the winning lottery ticket and I found a girl who was everything I wanted and was even just as inexperienced as me.

I feel like I spoiled my only real chance at happiness

Yeah, I know.. Maybe one of these days..

I fucking hate my art teacher. She's constantly condescending and patronizing whenever I ask any sort of question. She doesn't even know her own deadlines but expects us to know both semesters of deadlines off the top of our heads with NO reminders "because it's an AP class."
I won a silver key in the scholastic arts and writing competitions and she didn't even think to look that I got a key at all when she was looking for the rest of the class. And the thing that hurts the most isn't that I got a silver key.... it's that she didn't even expect me to place in the competition.
She's also cuntier to me than any other students in my class while being absolutely the dumbest teacher I've ever had the misfortune of being taught by (and I've been taught by a lot of dumb people).
I want to rip my hair out every time I step foot in that class and I can't even drop because it's march in 2nd semester. I only took it because I thought it would look good on my portfolio for costume technology (the major I've applied to for college) but now I regret it AND I hate art.

When I was around 16 my 15 year old cousin gave me miku and lucky star wallscrolls that were obviously drawn for ecchi purposes. (You can see up mikus skirt and see the outline of her vag, the lucky star girls are touching tits together). I was still coming to terms with that fact that I was bi and these wallscrolls sent my poor preteen girl brain into a spiral. I hid them away for years and then showed the miku one to a guy I was dating and he wanted it so I gave it to him. Now we live together and of course he took Miku with him. And now mikus vag stares at me from next to the TV every day. Thank God I've accepted my sexuality.

Gulls, I feel so happy. After so many years of being insecure and shy then straight up depressed, I finally feel comfortable in my body and with who I am. I've obviously been building up to this point, but it's just now hit me how far I've come. I still don't talk very much, but I've had people I care about tell me that I come off as confident or I've grown up to be so strong. I honestly think it's j-fashion that helped so much. I remember the first time stepping out the door in Bodyline, shaking and sweating and sinking into corners, but now I wear burando 2-3 times a week and more casual j-fashion in between. I got posted in an ita thread a few months ago, which used to be my number one fear, but I was surprisingly not upset and aware enough to understand why they didn't like my outfit even though I did, so I just haven't posted a similar outfit online since.
I recut my bangs today and I'm so happy with how they look now, I even feel cute in sweatpants and a tshirt. I used to only feel cute in j-fashion. You know how you know people who aren't typically beautiful, but still look lovely to you? The whole soul shining through thing. I've started feeling that way about myself. I hope everyone who doesn't like who they are can use fashion and courage to become someone they love. Which doesn't involve whoring yourself online for mass approval, talking about how cute you are, or the "treat yo self" shit that tumblr preaches. It's about having the courage to appreciate the things you like about yourself, be calm but aware of what you don't, and know what to improve on and what to let go.

Sorry about the blog post, but I just want to express this somewhere. I was so depressed and stuck 2 years ago and I've just been actively working towards this moment since then.
