Traded in a expensive cream for a couple of samples and sheet masks. I really didn't want to since I wanted to decant it and trade it for some other stuff. The person I did the trade with, lowballed me but we come out with an agreement.

She gets her cream and said that it was only 1/4 filled (which it wasn't). I said that I have yet used it and IDK what happened. I based it off on what I paid last time and how much the last person said was used.

Her trade comes in and one of the samples spills all over the envelope. It's basically unusable. I told her that I got her trade and thanked her. She messaged me saying that she was still unsatisfied, could have gotten it BNIB for the same price (not when I checked) and asked for a $10 refund. She basically wants $10 for a $45 cream.

I told her that I needed to see the pictures first and I will be more than happy to return some masks and the empty decant since I didn't want them to begin with.

I'm still waiting on pics from her. Did I do the right thing?

As a Trump supporter I can say this was expected and I'm pretty happy it's actually true.
Basically alot of Bernie voters aren't so into party politics that they'd vote for Hillary simply because they are running on the same platform.
So as a result they will most likely go for a second pick based on how against the establishment they are (Trump).
I have no ball park figure on the percentage of his voters that don't play party politics, but it's been very frequently discussed these past couple of months.

>>8990284
Policies and mannerisms aside, Trump and Sanders are both vehemently "Anti-Establishment", as far as this current election is concerned. As in, both call for drastic change, some way or another,and both claim to be out of the corporate pocket, in their own ways.

Clinton is basically the complete opposite, in that aspect. (Plus, Superdelegate buggery meant Sanders would be steamrolled by Clinton from the start without extreme popular support, Clinton was basically pre-determined to be the nomination by the party itself, there wasn't really a "choice") I'd wager their decision wasn't fueled by policy or anything outside of a desire to have the "least corrupt" candidate ouy of the choices available.

>>8990311
>As a Trump supporter

Why would you hate yourself enough to support that?

If you guys get this fucking thread deleted 30 posts in I swear to god

>>8990325
Because I'd rather not let the media dictate who I vote for with bold faced lies.

>>8990334
I agree the media has awful and respectful. Trump is telling it like it is. I don't care if he lies, it makes me feel good.

I mean I want to see an America again where the father is the breadwinner earning lots of money at work and the mother is at home raising kids. Lolitas should aspire for that future. Trump will make America great again.

>>8990323

I mean, it's one thing to be anti-establishment, but it reeks of 'going with the cool kids.' Because while both of them are anti-establishment and generally run by their own funding, they have vastly different views and boast vastly different experiences. If you even analyse dermis deep you'd find they have pretty fucking big differences.

Unless you're so vehemently against the quota you'd vote for anybody against the quota, really I don't think people who switch sides like that have any clue what they're talking about. But I guess that goes in general for politics.

>>8990325
I honestly don't want to get political. but you're supporting trump because the media doesn't like him and you want to feel all anti-establishment?

>>8990288
>my thread

>>8990352
I don't really care so much for anything "Anti-Establishment" since it seems like a distraction from real issues, but I do like his immigration policy and the fact that having a president like him can go a long way in the country not devolving into a hive of unproductive cry babies living off the system.
Also being a single issue voter because the media deliberately lied to you about him is still a pretty valid reason.

I made a secret about someone on my facebook because I was bored and did not think she'd get butthurt about it (wasn't even saying smth bad just pointed out that she was being a hypocrite about /cgl/). Turns out she and other friends did, my bad, I don't even have a problem with the girl lol.

>>8990350
That's it exactly, though. The ones who switch from Sanders to Trump are people who are so fed up with the status quo that they want change for the sake of change. Single-Issue voters might find common ground, too. Clinton is arm-in-arm with Wall St., and that doesn't sit nicely with many folks.
This is offtopic as fuck, though.

I have completely lost interest in making cosplay. Usually I have fun with it and I can shit out a cosplay in a week. And it usually helps with my depression. But right now, my depression is in full-swing and I can't convince to care or to do ANYTHING.

>tfw the con is in 20 days and nothing is done
>tfw you can't force yourself out of bed to actually work on shit
>tfw con stress dreams but still no motivation

I'm just so frustrated. I know getting things done will help how I'm feeling a lot but I can't get my brain working. What do you guys do to get yourself motivated? Any movies or music you put on in the background that seems to help?

>>8990424
Hey anon, do you have friends who you go with or who are making their own cosplays? I find that nothing motivates me more than talking to my friends about their progress.

Buuut it sounds like you may need some professional help to manage your depression. Hope you have a fun time at your con regardless of the state of your cosplay!

Do you ever just mute people on lolita FB groups because you get tired of them making up bullshit excuses for not going to meetups? It's all unsolicited too - this happens every single time an event gets posted onto the group page. No one cares.

Oh thank you, I agree that they were getting way too riled up about it. She's also been adding some people randomly that never even talked to her (a few being out-of-state friends of mine) so it's like, when you're adding a bunch of people you don't know personally, you can't expect them to treat you nicely. However that wasn't the point of my secret, but she shouldn't treat facebook as some kind of sacred page.

I saw a girl in my comm make the lamest/fucking weirdest excuse ever

She said she would go and then the night before "Ohhhh sorry I drank tea late at night and couldn't sleep from the caffeine" or something. It wasn't like you drank a coffee or something, also why make such a bad decision. I didn't care that she didn't come but jesus christ just saw you aren't feeling well or something

I don't mind when people cancel on the event page EXCEPT when they do it at the last minute and end up not paying for a place that someone else now has to pay for... Thankfully my comm started charging people in advance. People can be so goddamn rude and would make the comm leaders pocket the cost.

Also tea can have quite a bit of caffeine depending on what kind you get. I drink either coffee or English breakfast tea to keep myself alert throughout the day.

>>8990424
Have you considered therapy or medication for your depression? You know it's there already, but have you taken steps to try treating it?

This isn't just a matter of motivation, or even a matter of self-discipline. If you're depressed and having trouble getting out of bed, you need to seek help for more than just your cosplay hobby, anon.

Hope you start feeling better soon, regardless of what steps you choose to take.

All I want are cute cardigans and blouses, jesus christ. How do actual fatties do it?

>>8990984
Shirring and stretched out knits. Though as a fellow 5'10-er, I wonder how you're more bothered by width than length.

>>8991005
If you're tall, greater width means an even shorter bodice. Bust height on lolita items is fairly small to begin with (which is why people use the buttons trick with IW to make things fit better even if they're of average height), but adding a greater bust to the measurement means that you've got less space to work with.

TL;DR: Height sucks and shortens bodices, but so do boobs.

dammit my dream dress is on lace market, a limited taobao release and i don't really have a ton of money to throw around... besides, my parents give me shit for spending my own money on expensive dresses which is understandable, but i'm an adult who doesn't live with them. i get financial support for like health insurance. if I make my money with a job I should be able to spend it on garbage, and if i hate it lesson learned and it'll resell

>>8991038
This is probably bad, indulgent advice, but: if it's your dream dress, a good price, and you can afford it, buy it and promise yourself not to buy dresses unless you absolutely know you plan to own it in the future (no "this is cute and a good deal!" sort of thing).

If it's not really a dream piece/not a good price, that's good for you since you won't regret waiting for it to come up again.

My advice is probably shit, but it's because I regret missing out opportunities to buy dream dresses. I had spent the money on "bargain" dresses and then when my dream dresses came up, I HAD the money but felt guilty. If I could redo it a little better, I would've brought my dream dresses (since I haven't seen them again for such good prices). If I could redo it perfectly, I wouldn't have wasted my money on dresses I just "liked" when I was low on cash and would've reserved it for good stuff.

I recently did a lemonade cleanse to get my diet back on track, but I'm falling back into old eating disorder habits (skipping meals sometimes all day, purging, obsessive thoughts) alarmingly rapidly. I really hate this, but after years of eating and being a healthy weight, if a little chubby at times, it feels so natural and easy and right to go back to restricting. I'm ten pounds lighter than I was a month ago, and I don't want to stop any time soon. I just keep thinking of how good I'm going to look in cosplay and lolita, especially lolita. But I know all of this is wrong and don't know what to do. I've never relapsed this hard.

>>8990372
>>8991028

Lolita is probably the most accommodating, honestly. I'm looking more at larme/creepy cute/otome stuff, which I don't mind being a bit short, but the busts often max out at like 80cm flat.

I bought some new boots recently and they are giving me a blister in the same place on each foot. The one on the right foot isn't too bad but the one on the left hurts sooo much and is a lot bigger. They're military boots that I bought because I keep tearing up those women's fashion boots and I thought they'd be more durable plus I needed some military boots anyways because I'm going to a weekend long airsoft game with my boyfriend in a few weeks. I'm trying to break them in so that maybe this will stop happening so my feet won't hurt during the game but fuuuck it hurts. I should just stop wearing them for a little while and let my feet heal shouldn't I? But I'm also scared that it'll just happen again. I just want to be able to wear boots daily without tearing up my feet god damn it!

I think you need to give it to your friend straight. She needs to know that if she rooms with her bf, then you won't be there on top of the other people in the room because of prices and that she will be the one to tell them that, not you. Her boyfriend is being an asshole, just be mean back.

Shit Anon. Are you me? I'm relapsing hard right now too. Do you work out at all? Lately I've gotten into the gym and it's easier to convince myself to intake calories if I'm consistently burning them. Using a calorie counting app helps me force myself into getting meals. And it reminds me that I'm eating to get /fit/. Imb not sure if it will help your intrusive thoughts, but it dulled mine down a little.

Because if /cgl/ has taught me anything, it's that I need to assume every other Lolita in existence wants to rip my face off and wear it while pretending to be me. I really don't want to deal with that, and your sister is smart to not want to deal with that either.

>>8991425
Well.... My sister is still pretty ita, and I was hoping some bigger lols would help her ass.

>>8991426
They will tear her apart. Hasn't this place taught you anything? Lolita's are ruthless bitches by nature.

>>8991138
I'm worried this will be my near future, as one of the 'other roomies'
I don't know, we'll be meeting with my friend's friend whom I do not know and her protective boyfriend.
Any word on what clue ins I should be looking for to avoid drama?

>>8991381
Go away, you fetishist.

>>8991429
How do I save her? Do I need to learn how to lolita? Can I send her to lolita school?

>>8991434
Slap her upside the head with your genitals and direct her to somewhere that has actually decent advice for lolita. I wouldn't send her here because she too will turn into a sour cunt the moment the page loads, but find a blog with good pointers.

>>8991372
was this CT?

Check the auction to see if there was reserve or BIN price set, as you shouldn't be paying that much otherwise.

It's ok to relapse. But you gotta want the change. Ok pros of the situation, you lose weight and feel better about how u look. But there are probably a lot more cons. Maybe contact a group therapy session near you, something like 1 or 2 times a week?

In all honesty, no. I'm so used to her shitting up each thread as soon as i see "mfw lolitas who music"

>>8991348
Don't immediately assume she needs help.
>>8991394
It's a fashion, making friends or joining a comm isn't necessary to be able to wear the clothes. She can wear it on her own if she wants.
>>8991425
>>8991429
There are plenty of sources online with tons of information about the fashion, for beginners and otherwise. Give her links to http://thelolitaguidebook.tumblr.com/ and F Yeah Lolita's beginner guides and leave her be. She doesn't need a lolita senpai to be better at the fashion, she can learn how to lolita on her own. Other than that, you can suggest she joins the local comm (if there is one) but if she prefers to be on her own, leave her to it.

Cgl is a pretty shitty place to learn about the Lolita community, part of why most girls hate it. Girls who are actually willing to go out and interact are more outgoing and nicer than the cgl crowd. Only a very small handful of cringey people attend meets, in my experience- and I mean unbearable personalities. If your comm leader is smart they'll kick them out though. The megabitch lolitas stay at home hiding behind anonymity, or they try to join and their drama mongering is quickly rooted out.

>when bf and I started dating, they shifted all their hopes and dreams onto me with like 10x the intensity

I do want kids at some point but for now my priorities lay with glorious burando. At least when you get tired of brand you can sell it

>>8991797

With my mom there's no "straight and the gays" there's only straight and people with psychological disorders. She thinks all gay men got diddled by their daddies when they were kids, and that all gay women are deranged for not wanting to have sex with men. She honest to god thinks that women turn into lesbians after menopause because they don't have female hormones any more and that makes them not want to have sex with men.

She also believes in extradimensional skinwalkers and thinks aliens built the pyramids though. This woman is a surgeon. I don't trust her to stock a refrigerator.

>>8991825
Oh yikes. I'm sorry about your nutty mom, anon.

>>8991782
>>8991797
I'm with you both with these family feels. My mom's somewhat similar in some ways:
>accepted my brother's transgender identity fairly quickly, becomes involved in parents of trans kids groups and talks about issues, so proud of her queer kid
>meanwhile rejects me identifying as bisexual as "that's not a real thing" and rolls her eyes and changes the subject any time bisexuality is mentioned
>puts all of her expectations for grandchildren on me despite me having said consistently from a young age that I don't want kids
>after 10+ years, a few months ago she told me she may have a new perspective about bisexuality and she also seems to have stopped talking about me having kids thank god
>HOWEVER long term boyfriends parents don't know about my sexuality (would try to split us up or possibly disown him if they found out) and frequently ask when we'll be having kids

Some things can surprise you and change, others are endless frustration. Good luck to you both, especially you with your skinwalker alien madre.

That's gone stagnant for me too, which is great for projects I can't seem to get going. I can't seem to get any writing out either and I feel super guilty for splurging on two new books to read. I think it's been almost a decade since I actually picked up a book, much less finished one.

I admit I haven't started anything yet. I'm mostly just looking right now. I'm an idiot and did the whole marriage and kid thing before I got myself a decent education. So now I'm a broke idiot who has to do either full online courses or find a school that offers daycare.

I really wish I had done this five years ago instead of now, at least then I'd have been able to devote myself full time to school.

>>8993025
I ended up going to college right out of high school and it's really not any easier, though I'm sure finding accommodations for making your family continue to function are a big concern. The whole system is really kind of fucked up if you ask me. Though I hope you'll be able to find a programme that works well for your needs, there are a lot out there, just keep looking and don't give up. What do you plan on studying if you don't mind me asking?

I had an experience similar to this, and I'd advise you not to worry too much. If somebody's such a shitty person that they're getting thrown out of a comm, they're going to struggle to keep up a tolerable facade for long enough for anyone to believe their lies. Give it a couple of months, she'll be a laughing stock and nothing will have stuck to you in the end.

I'm working with stretch stitches. The lines are a lot smaller than usual and out of place. I've never had this happen before, so I've got no clue.

A cosplayer in my friend circle is doing the sayat.me thing and it's taking all of my willpower not to leave her anon hate. She is the most vile, most toxic person I know but I try to just tolerate her for the sake of keeping up the peace in our friend circle. I really don't want to create any drama since we go to the same cons and stuff.. and she is so dramatic she would create the shitstorm of the century if I said anything, anon or not. Sigh. And to top it all off I think only one person in our group legit likes her and everyone else just silently tolerates her and then bitches about her behind her back, like me. It's stupid and it really sours most of my con experiences.

Dude, I want a cosplay gf so bad, but one of my crushes got a bf, another was gay, and the last one died.

>>8993246
I had an experience/'friend' extremely similar to that and I would avoid leaving any anon hate. Those people thrive off of attention, negative or positive and by doing that you could turn things around and make her seem like a 'victim'.

By the sound of it shes already doing a good enough job herself of being disliked if your friends really don't like her. Best advice I can give you (and the best decision I ever made) is to just slowly cut her out of your life. Don't make scene, don't make a big deal just stop keeping in contact. People like that will continuously bring you down and not worth putting up with for the sake of 'friendship' and peace.

Believe me once you leave her behind you'll be much happier, and if your friends are really your friends they'll be happy for you too and support you.

>>8993246
>it really sours most of my con experiences
so you hang out with her a lot at cons, I presume?

>>8991825
>She also believes in extradimensional skinwalkers and thinks aliens built the pyramids though. This woman is a surgeon. I don't trust her to stock a refrigerator.

They might've been people who only followed you to see if you would follow them back, and unfollowed because they saw you being active without following them. Happens to me all the time.

>>8991537
You should probably take into account that the person in question is still a teen (under 18 years old)

>>8990468
There is someone who posts this to basically every meet up. The first post is "As long as I don't work I'll make it!" and the second one is "I got my wisdom teeth out/visiting grandma/something or other I can't make it!" and always ALWAYS accompanied by this face: uwu

Which is fine but it happens so often and I'm starting to find it really funny. I'll post sometimes if I was set as going for a while, but more often than not I leave my status as maybe and then change it to not going. Or I PM the person if we're friends.

>>8993606
That's awful, anon! I hope we both have better luck or even meet some day and laugh about this.

>>8993584
I personally find it hilarious and sometimes very cute.

>>8993710
Ah yeah THESE people...They annoy me so much. I just love to post/reblog stuff and see other reblogging and liking it because then i tell myself "oh they like that too!" "I am glad they appreciate this as well" "maybe that post made someone smile too"
Thanks i was worried i might have done something wrong

>>8993720
I know, but that's not a proper excuse. (And i'm not that old myself either if that matters...) I feel like that kind of behavior on twitter just makes people blind to real issues if we all just get used to people complain about everything. As someone who tried to commit suicide once I feel like asks for help are important and I get pissed when that is misused. But yeah, as I said I'm too tired to care about this anymore. I will not read that persons tweets anymore.

>>8993751

>>8993584
I find this hilarious and awkwardly cute at the same time.
>saw a sweet old couple in Paris this week dressed in striped shirts and berets and bags with bad french on it and stuff like baguettes and croissants speaking broken french
Like fuck it was cringy but i couldnt help but laugh and find it nice that they were so enthusiastic

>>8993588
I know, problem is if they get wind that I've gotten ANY mail they get pissed. 9/12ths of the year it's better for me to just get it delivered to our house since our postwoman delivers around 11 and I'm there before uni it's just during the summer that it becomes an issue.

I often wonder what it's like to be popular in a cosplay community. Like if you had a ton of likes on your page or whatever. I know some people who have thousands of Likes.

It makes me wonder what friendship is like for them. Do they often wonder who's sticking around because they want to be a friend or if they're just a fan? Do they doubt their own friends? Are they still even open to other people because of this? Is maintaining appearances more important?

Well, consider the fact that most people think they look weird in pictures or the mirror.

People obviously thought you looked pretty good if they took a lot of pictures from seeing you in person.

God this, I am so sick of music-chan getting off on asspatting as many people as possible in one post. You've asspatted the loli musicians by copypasting the same shit ten times now, we get it.

It's not as complicated as you're making it, anon. If you're a socially well adjusted person, it's pretty easy to tell who you've connected with as a real friend or con-quaintance, vs who is trying to latch onto you because they're an "admirer" or want e-fame.

If you're a catty person who participates in drama and surrounds yourself with friends who also like drama, then yeah, I can see this being a problem.

Idk man, my old high school mallgoff friends all normied out and now feel weird around me when I wear anything too attention-grabbing. Maybe you could tone it down a little? Like wear a simple dress in a cute outfit that hints at your current fashion choices, but isn't full-on OTT lolita.

>>8994522
Fair enough. Usually the people I describe do sort of have their own share of drama, so I guess that's why I sort of thought about it.

Also, I appreciate that you've now given me a nice term for me to use: con-quaintance. I know a bunch of people who I see at cons who I talk with at cons. I can't say I'm too close with them like I don't think they'd consider me a close friend or maybe even a friend, but we're on friendly relations and we usually share an interest (at the very least, cons and cosplay).

>>8994407

Are you going to Japan Expo ?

Anyone else feel like they're getting more negative? I've always been kind of a complainer but the last year or so it's been getting bad, though with some better moments in between.

It's just that the news is negative and I like discussing it which ussually ends up sounding like me complaining.
However it wouldn't be so bad if everything on my social media feeds wasn't negative as well. And it's not even that I agree with them that makes me want to complain, but rather disagreement. I'm so sick of everyone whining about how it's totes racist that a voice actor isn't Asian, how everything is sexist and racist etc. They'll enjoy a game but still talk shit about it all the time because it wasn't progressive enough. Even now I'm just complaining again. I hate how cynical I've gotten.

I miss it when we would just talk about anime like a bunch of weebs. I just want to go back to when nobody seemed to care about all that insignificant stuff and we'd just laugh while discussing whatever game or anime. It just seems like nobody is simply enjoying things anymore.

>>8995441
sounds like you need to ditch your SJW friends

>>8995454
Sometimes I want to, unfortunately it seems like everyone I end up talking or following or anything, will agree to SJW stuff in one way or another.

The times where this doesn't happen we end up being able to vent about it though so at least that's nice.

I'll call a friend of mine M, and her then bf, J
Backstory:
>M and J have been together for almost two years
>J works overseas for 3 months at a clip as a contractor in Afghanistan
>J can only come back to the USA for a month, so it's gone for 3, back for a month
>M and J tried to hold up dating amidst this, M has a child from a prior relationship and only that child.
>J forcing M to move saying she's not sacrificing anything
>M can't move because the child's dad, family, and school are here
>I saw how much J pushed her and made her feel like this was all her fault
>M and J break up, this was for the best

And to make this related:
>M and J had originally met at acen 2013
>started talking more often and then eventually started dating
>J has this issue with celebrities
>J hates guests and has a problem with them being put on pedestals
>I handle guest relations for a con and I always love talking about it
>I try to be respectful and not bring it up much at all around him since i know it bothers him
>All J likes to talk about are fighting games
>I never once bring up how that gets old because i know he's passionate about it

Fast forward to anime midwest last year
>At Anime Midwest, M and I were hanging out with a voice actor and a friend of his
>A voice actor we both hung out with months earlier at a local con, one i staffed and M had just attended
>The voice actor invited us to get some drinks and go to a panel with them and their friend
>M and I bump into J who had come down to explore the con
>We introduce J to the voice actor and his friend as well as say we're going with them to a panel
>J's first comment to the voice actor "Oh you're the one hitting on my girl"
>awkward.jpg
>Just laughed it off and J follows us to this panel thing
>He ends up getting lost in the crowd and shouts that he'll meet up with us
> We end up getting into this panel room where there were 5 other voice actors and basically get to sit around drinking

That sucks, anon. Is there a cosplay comm where you live, or maybe a group of local Jojo fans on FB that you can join? You might be able to find someone to cosplay with there. If neither of those an option, you can try asking in the Jojo thread, too >>8904053
And just because I'm curious, which Stand do you want to cosplay?

>>8995951
Pt 2 for anime midwest
>the voice actor's friend makes M and I some margaritas
>No complaints
>Got to shoot the shit and had a blast
>The voice actor pretty much hung out with us all weekend
>J was upset all weekend
>So much brooding and frustration
>he wasn't having a good time as he likes to go around and get alot of pictures being the center of attention
>here I was being that center of attention and it annoyed him

He's always bashed voice actors ever since I met him. The worst part was he held a grudge over this and AMKE last year. He told M that she did more stuff for me than for him which wasnt the case. It ended up being more about what he wanted and I think it just came down to the fact that he was only home 1 month back to work for 3 months overseas, back home for a month, rinse repeat. I'm aware this takes a toll on friendships and relationships. The last time I heard from J, he told me to "Keep an eye on M.." and then followed it up "because her apartment is pretty dirty" and that reminded him of when he used to be depressed. That was the final straw and I let him have it.

That's really cool, Anon! And very sweet of you as well!

I just came home from a big cosplay meetup at an amusement park
While I had fun, it hurts a bit that I have no real friends, that I always go alone. Everyone has someone they know and went with, while I came alone and just joined a group. It's always like this, having no friends sucks.
It's not that I didn't know them either, because many of them were people I knew, but they had eachother. And I didn't even get any sort of closer relationship with people I just met.
It was still a good day, but this feeling of loneliness lingers inside me, and I don't like it.

>>8996171
You just 100% described something I had a hard time explaining. Thank you and I'm sorry to hear you feel that way too.

>>8996171
Sounds like my experience in highschool. Sucks being friends with multiple groups that you regularly hang out with, yet at the end of the day you never have one on one hang out sessions because everyone already had eachother. You're just like a special guest and are't really invited to the casual friend hang outs. It was so lonely and weird being an outsider group drifter. People post HS told me everyone liked me since I was friends with pretty much everyone but that's not at all how it felt to me. I didn't have a close relationship with anyone, and despite having fun with them at the end of the day I was still lonely.

I feel you, anon.

Nice! I have this print in a different cut too. It really is a nice print to wear dressed up or dressed down, but it sucks how it's starting to get too warm to wear it now.

>tfw half of your main pieces are too warm for the summer.


>Situation:

>10 weeks of unemployment
>finally gets two job offers
>first offer won't let me start until the 12th, though they accepted me since mid-April
-reminded them I had another interview elsewhere later that week.
>prefer 2nd offer and also get accepted
>boss at 1st job already has be scheduled in

I've worked at that company before, but for a different position and it seems like each department has their own scheduling process. I've left a voicemail and an email as soon as I could, but I'm kind of stressing out over the inconvenience; I feel like an asshole for taking up their time. I honestly don't want to work there again since they laid me off in the first place and the hours suck compared to the 2nd job. I should have had more insight or the ability to say no, but after 10 weeks of not earning a paycheck, I had that "beggars can't be choosers" mentality and everything's been up in the air since I started job hunting.

I could work at both places with having me at the first job on weekends only, but a 7 day work week is probably going to kill me.

I guess I could use the extra money to make up for loss time, and it'd be nice to have a little left over for brand again.

Holy shit, I know them feels. I really long for the close friendships I had with a few people I grew up with, but we never attended the same school, and I was lucky to have people I could sit with at lunch, otherwise, I've always had that lingering sense of loneliness all though out my school years. It sometimes felt like people mostly tolerated or used me best during group projects, but it was rare for other people to be willing to hang out with me after class, and I didn't even do the job/school thing until I started uni.

I wore casual lolita for the first time in public today (albeit it was casual lolita) and no one said anything negative and lots of people said how cute I looked, and I managed to feel pretty for the first time in a while. I understand why I love this adorable fashion so much and I actually have the confidence to wear a full coord.

>that one cute guy at a convention, surrounded by a sea of numales and immature, horny manchildren
>he's walking hand in hand with an ugly/fat girl
Every goddamn time. I wish I could go in and beat her up and scoop up that little prince, but sadly the real world doesn't work like that.

And the guy is ALWAYS more attractive than the girl, and they still put up with her. God, kill me.

>>8996343
You seem to have some problems you really need to work out.

With an attitude like yours, I think the ugly/fat girls deserve the guy more than you.

>>8996347
What attitude? I can give these guys plenty of love. I can cook for them, exercise with them, sew little sweaters for him, give him a place to live, give him money, and give him my undivided attention, and then I see these literal troglodytes dressing in whatever flavor of the month garbage they latched onto, this time. All I want is a cute bf to cuddle with.

This is a feels thread. I'm venting.

>>8996353
You legit sound like a massive bitch.

>>8996353
desu I'd rather date a fat girl with a positive personality and a kind heart than a jealous, probably mentally unstable butterface bitch

>>8996353
maybe you being such a cunt is why you don't have one?


just a guess

>>8996353
kek all these anons calling you a cunt, honestly i can relate to you

>>8996361
You're also a cunt then. You honestly think because someone's less attractive than another person physically there's no reason to be interested? Do you not know what personality is? Jfc

>>8996354
So are you ugly, fat, or both?

And before you say anything, yes, I do get hit on by guys, all the time. Outside of anime conventions and meetups, I get hit on normal and attractive looking guys, but they're not interested in the slightest in EGL, lolita, anime, manga, jfash, etc. But of course, in conventions, I always get targeted by overly confident neckbeards. Isn't it infuriating to be talking to a 6'1, athletic, funny dude, and he doesn't have that one hobby that you're in love with, and if he did, he'd pretty much almost be perfect? Now contrast that with greasy and overly touchy hobbits that look like they came straight from /r9k/, but who have the same hobbies that you do.

I think the issue at hand here is that all the normal and decent-looking guys in comms have all been snatched up by girls like me, since a half-decent dude that likes anime is rare, so you get like 20 girls going after one guy. Like I said, this is a feels thread, and I'm going to vent because I'm frustrated, so fuck off.

>>8996368
Hilarious, you get called out for being a vapid bitch and whine about how others are either ugly or fat for not agreeing with your cunt logic.


Your venting is making you sound like a frigid bitch, and this is why you have so many people calling you that. You whine that just because someone isn't on the same level of physical attractiveness that there is no way someone super hot could be into them. This is why you don't have a BF, you are a superficial witch.

>>8996358
I'm not a cunt to the men that I like.

>>8996372

they can smell it on you

this is why you don't have anyone


you're a bitch and they sense it

>>8996371
>so many
There's all of three people, two of whom are likely the same, that called me a cunt.

I've seen guys like this, many times, especially when it comes to "nerdy" subcultures. They're not too confident with women, so they shoot for the first girl that gives them attention, when they could do so, so much better. But I'm sure they all have amazing personalities, because first and foremost, that's what matters, and not how the person takes care of their body.

>>8996375
They're not telepathic, you ogre. Like I said, I get plenty of attention, just not as much from decent guys at anime conventions.

>>8996379
But you are a cunt. You are superficial and whining about guys not being into you. You know why? Because you are superficial and post things like this. People aren't always idiots, and can sense fake people like you more often than not.

>>8996379
you're a cunt


deal with it


cunt

>>8996379
If you are only presenting as nice because you want that person, for whatever reason it may be, you're really just going to come off as fake to them. Most people don't like that sort of thing.

>>8996387
>you're fat
>deal with it
>fatty
Even if anon was fat, they can lose weight but you will still be a horrible bitch on the inside.

>>8996387
Why do you think you're alone now? And it's funny you insult anon and call them fat when you have no proof or anything pointing to that. You are a rotten person inside, aren't you?

>>8996395
Good thing that personality comes after physical attractiveness, for almost everyone.

>>8996400
Are you serious? There are tons of stereotypes against that exact kind of person. There are even popular movies that show it never works out for rotten people in the end.

>>8996400
That's why those guys are with less attractive girls and not you right.

>>8996404
Stupid bitch can't even figure the problem is her terrible personality. Either that or this is a troll.

>>8996397
>Why do you think you're alone now?
Because I've grown tired of having normalfag boyfriends.

>>8996389
It's not like I'm a turbobitch to everyone except them. In public, I'm cordial to everyone I meet, and I'm just more playful with guys that I'm interested in. I generally treat people how I'd like to be treated. Heck, I even get people calling me nice all the time, ironically. I very much doubt that most guys can effectively psychoanalyze me at a glance, or during a short instance of small talk.

>>8996403
>There are even popular movies that show it never works out for rotten people in the end.
I'm sure popular movies are the true authorities on what people are attracted to, in reality.

>>8996404
>>8996407
I don't get why you're so angry. I can guarantee that most of you have felt the same why that I have.

>>8996412
>can guarantee that most of you have felt the same why that I have

Speak for yourself. Most people aren't as terrible inside as you to the point they couldn't see why someone would be liked for personality over looks. You are seriously horrible.

>not like I'm a turbo bitch to everyone except them

Right, you just bottle it up inside and seethe it out behind their backs.

>>8996412
Holy fuck you sound like a cunt.

>>8996412
Not to speak for everyone here, but you are being labeled as a cunt because by your original rant, you are appearing to value the gf based solely on her weight/appearance. Envy is human, and it is a rant as you said, but the vitrol for her is rubbing some of the anons here the wrong way.
I dunno, assumptions are a dangerous thing.

>>8995871
This happened to me. Fuck. Meta gets a bad rap as a fatty brand, but I did buy one piece that was a bit tight despite fitting in a different print in the same cut

You sound awesome

Holy shit literally me
>Get into anime and cosplay younger like 14-16 year ish with friends
>This is fun but me and my friends don't get to see a lot of the conventions because mommy has to drive us and pick us up
>Never stay in hotels because too young
>Never go to any of the panels because hanging out in the hallway was funner
>Can't go to any events late at night
>Could never buy much from the dealers room because mommy only gave us 20 dollars to spend
>Years later we're now 20 turning 21 next month
>I want to go to a convention now that we can drive, stay in a hotel, have fun and drink in said hotel room, buy things with the money we have from jobs, do crazy shit because we're independent and have money without being expected to be super responsible because we're all still students
>Only friend left still into anime says no to going to convention because she "doesn't think it'll be different from any other con she's ever been too before" ?
>Can't go by myself because I don't make friends well plus hate socializing with kids < 17 years old
>Too lonely to go by myself

If you're in florida please go to a con with me ;_;

I finally sold that stupid item I wanted to get rid off since half a year.
I'm so glad it's finally gone.

>mfw I just sent the invoice and already get nervous
pls don't be deadbait buyer

>>8996421
apparently its not as uncommon as you would think

>>8996458
It's actually the worst, I'm sorry you've been through the same thing. It's just so annoying and it makes you feel bad. I was just annoyed because this had the exact same measurements that are obviously wrong listed by the brand.

some meta pieces are small, others are huge, if that helps. I got a second hand piece recently that's huge and bought one from them that I resold because I was new and didn't know how to take my measurements.

>>8996645
Worst feel.
>sold 30 items
>had to file non-payment claims on 4 of them
>it was all the high-priced stuff
Fuck, how hard is it to not bid on shit you don't REALLY want?

I'll say it again, you people this exact term literally EVERY time you hear a story about someone giving away free stuff.

>>8996024
What a pathetic person you are if you have to buy women's attention. They don't care about you in the slightest you're just being used.

>>8996504
What cons are you planning on going to? I'm a Florida gull. My con friend group is 22-35ish year olds.

>>8996024
I find it funny that you get responses that are opposite reactions, when this just seems to me like a sorta neutral issue. You're somebody who's a little bit broken trying to get by and be happy, and it's not some big selfless act, but it doesn't mean everybody around you just wants to use you either.

>>8996927
He's not giving it away though, he said he was letting his friends dress up.

Also since when do we need to use a thesaurus simply to comment on an anonymous forum?

Socially awkward people tend to gravitate towards me because I'm naturally outgoing and can find common ground with anyone.

Socially awkward people cling to me because I'm outgoing and can build a connecting using minimal effort from the other other person.

Socially awkward people suffocate me because they rely on me to be outgoing so that they can socialize while remaining within their comfort zone.

Socially awkward people give me cabin fever because they rely heavily on our relationship to make it through social outings.

Socially awkward people make me tired of being around others...

Socially awkward people don't realize how taxing it is to be their security blanket.


It's fine to be socially awkward, and I don't mind being there for you when shit gets hard. But damn it, I have anxiety too. It's just that my anxiety makes me have word vomit, and I turn into miss Suzy sunshine and rainbows. I sweat like crazy during social encounters, and I almost always say something spaghetti at first. But I make do with who I am and figured out how to use it to my advantage.
I'm tired of holding hands. People always talk about being socially awkward, well this is how I feel having an incredibly awkward friend. I'm sorry, but I just cannot anymore.

This is me but I'm in Canada. Sucks so much.
