>no money for lolita right now
>every fuckin dress I want shows up

>>9167564
I'll start I guess. One of my (now former) cosplay buds recently pretty much outed herself as an attention whore who doesn't like cosplay anymore but wants the attention that she'll get for being a cosplayer.
We used to have a lot of fun making costumes together, talking about our plans, giving each other advice and all that good stuff, but about 6 months ago she suddenly dropped off the face of the earth.
2 months later, she returned with a new profile and followed all of the people in our cosplay friend group on Instagram. She unfollowed us again after about two weeks.
In the meantime, she had stopped making costumes and started buying costumes only. Buying costumes isn't a big deal and I thought she was buying just because she was too busy to craft anything. Later she admitted that she didn't even like sewing (which is ok. Different people like different things.)
About 1 1/2 months before I stopped talking to her, she was going full cosplay ho mode. She went from creating elaborate costumes to gluing shit on bras á la Jnig. She made a Patreon around the same time as well and began to push people to donate money to her combined with the insufferable "but you don't have to if you don't waaant too~ teehee~" act. She created a tier for people to be able to obtain pictures of her in lingerie and another where they could pay to Skype video chat her.
About a week before our falling out, she started following a (admittedly very attractive) male cosplayer friend of mine whom I met only after she already left our cosplay friend circle. However, she soon realized that he and I know each other because we took selfies together at cons. She DMed him with all sorts of crap like I was a slut and that she was a much nicer gal and general shit talk. My friend is ofc thrown off by all of this and tells me everything she says and then blocks her.
Our friend group ended up all blocking her after that.

Idk it's just super depressing to see people go down that route.

I'm not very close to a lot of my cousins, since I rarely ever get to see them, and I always felt like we'd have nothing in common. She and I used to be close when she was young but that kinda tapered off as I got older and she got into that annoying preteen phase. It's cool to know that we share some of the same 'weird' interests now.

I feel the need to balance out the creepy comment you got on this; that's really awesome! I have a similar situation with my cousins, too - we were really close when we were younger (when we had fewer commitments and could go on long family trips), but I haven't seen them in over a decade. Doesn't help that they live on the other side of the Pacific, either.

My angsty ass aside, it's great that you have something outrageously nerdy to bond over now!

>>9167840
If you genuinely don't know what you did, maybe ask her? She might refuse to say if she's really that upset but it's worth to try talking it out.

If they aren't so big that they make your feet look disproportionate (or if you don't care), maybe try something like this?

I personally haven't tried them but my friend recently got three pairs of too large shoes from a taobao order and got some instead of stuffing them. She said that they are much comfier and stay in place better. Might be worth a shot?

Nerd/weeb/cosplay women can get normie boyfriends whenever they want but it's near impossible to get normie women to like the reverse (discounting the obvious neckbeards and the like). All the women arounder me are in business and unless they hide a weeb side very well, I feel like I have no chance with them just because they won't at least tolerate the anime and cosplay side like many guys do for their gfs.

Someone I considered my "friend" and now ex cosplay buddy stole 100€ from me and there's nothing I can do about it because it must have happened ~3 weeks ago and there's no way to prove it. I can't confront her in person either because she lives in a different city and even if I did, she would twist it around and use it against me

Hold me /cgl/ ;_; I have so many bills to cover and counted my money today in order to see if I had 20€ to spare for materials. I feel so naive and stupid.

>>9168169
that sucks. are you sure it was them?

>>9168158
Because when girls are into it feeds into the "hawt nerd chick" stereotype whereas guys are automatically looked at as childish and, yeah, neckbeards. Both are bad and dumb.

>get gf
>know that she's not girly like me
>tfw no qt twinning would ever happen
>kinda sad but i love her so oh well
>showed her Kamikaze Girls
>"oh shit anon, I want to cosplay Ichiko while you're in Lolita"
>fuck yes is this real life

>>9168206
Yes. Stayed at their place during my vacation in my home city for a while. Had 160€ prior to that cause I counted them and I always made sure to never spend it because this is my last resort emergency money, safely tucked in an envelope that was hidden under paper trash in my purse. You'd need to fucking dig through it in order to find it.
I shouldn't have brought it in the first place and I shouldn't have trusted that bitch to begin with. She's a snarky tumblrina too who's too self-absorbed and swims in her own self-pity, so good fucking riddance I guess.

>>9168254
Yeah, think about it as a fee for finding out your friend sucks. Better now than never.

>>9168275
A hefty fee and terrible timing. Lesson learned for life.
I'm still gonna make that cosplay work though, I have literally figured out how I wanted to start my first big collapsible prop a few hours before checking my envelope. Bills will be paid first of course, but the materials aren't pricey to begin with.

At the last con I got to talk with one of my cosplay idols and he seems like he is a rly cool dude. He even liked the obscure character I cosplayed (and my cosplay). Now I really want to stay in touch woth him because I always wanted a cosplay buddy and we seem to have very similar taste in vidya and anime but the problem is he is one of the biggest cosplayers in my country (~1.5k likes which I know isnt much internationaly). So I have no idea how to approach him about everything ;_;
Already casually asked him a few questions about his cosplays and for some advice but not much more

I'm looking for some advice here:

>Join cosplay comm on facebook using false name/anime character avatar because I don't use facebook
>Meet up with them, have fun, everything went totally well
>Account gets banned & deleted by facebook because not my real name
>Create new account with fake name but use actual picture of myself
>Join group
>Pending
>Few days later:
>'Pending' disappears and is replaced by 'Join group'.

So in other words...they rejected me? I was so nondescript and inoffensive I can't imagine that they suddenly would want to block me for some reason, especially considering there are hundreds of people in the group and a few of them are kinda creepy guys.

Part of me is being logical about this and thinks OK, I still had a fake name so maybe they just think I'm a randomer or something and I'll go to the next meetup and ask politely about it and see what's going on.

But the other part of me is actually kind of hurt because I really enjoyed my time with those people and it was really fun, some of the admins asked who I was in the group and a few people told me to add them as friends.

I don't shy away from confrontation in the slightest and because I'm taking this so personally I'm really working myself up and I'm worried I'm going to go there looking for a fight over a misunderstanding. Especially if I actually have been rejected I think I might properly kick off and I know fur will fly if that happens.

What would /cgl/ do? Am I actually being snubbed or does this just sound like something I'm blowing out of proportion and getting mad over nothing?

>>9168053
Oh, thank you anon! I'll check these out!

>>9168441
Sounds like you're blowing it out of proportion, just ask them and explain it's you and what your old FB info was. Could be that mods don't remember faces and/or names well or your picture doesn't look much like you in cosplay.

>>9168453
Thanks Anon. I'm just worried I'll show up at the meet next Saturday and they'll suddenly be like "No you can't hang out with us". I don't know how to handle rejection like that, I think it'll just burst out in anger and then I'll end up getting arrested or something.

>>9167578
Jesus christ. I wonder what happened to make her change so suddenly? I hope she figures herself out before she finds find herself in a dead end.

>>9168158
Cultivate a side of yourself outside of nerdom! My boyfriend is really normie and hates cons. He doesn't like "nerdy" stuff outside of a few Marvel movies or netflix binging something with me that's not usually anime. On the other side, he really likes cars and hockey. Neither of us expect each other to embrace each other's favorite things wholeheartedly. It's nice when we do small things, but I'm not expecting him to want to suddenly cosplay with me and he's not expecting me to come to car shows with him.

However, we found a lot of common ground because me being nerdy isn't what he was attracted to and him being not-nerdy was a drawback for me.

So pick a hobby, learn how to cook, go to wine tasting, idgaf, make yourself datable. Normie SOs hardly stick around if there's nothing in common (ex, my bf and I enjoying baking, playing guitar, parkour, and woodshop together to name a few)

>>9168358
Don't treat him like a celebrity! It's totally okay to start talking about things you guys have in common! I think dropping a line about "Oh have you seen this series/played this game-I think it would match your tastes" and discussing that or "Hey what did you think about this game/anime?" I think those kinds of discussions can really open up to finally being more casual about asking "How have you been?" etc

>Bodyline sale
>Nothing I want fits me even in the largest size

Kind of a minor thing but I wanted some opinions on this matter

I'm graduating high school this year at 20 (due to repeating fifth grade and birthday dates)

I'm torn between wasting money on an (in my opinion ) ugly normal promlike dress to avoid embarrassing myself or wearing lolita frills I already own and saying fuck it to my public image

I'm thinking of not even going as an adult among teenagers would be awkward in the first place, but I also feel like I'd regret not going

>>9168524
Go in a lolita dress. It's your life, whatever you wanna do.

Same anon who can't even fit in Bodyline here. I'm really fucking sick of being fat. I feel disgusting and uncomfortable all the time, like I should. My thighs are so huge I can't even fucking walk without them hurting from rubbing together. My stomach is huge and disgusting. I can't even stand taking showers because I feel like vomiting every time I look down at it. I just want to be cute and fit in cute clothes. I'm trying to lose weight, but I want to be thin right now.

Want on one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up faster. Seeing as you're a fat fuck, prob the shit hand.

Losing weigh sucks, don't sit there and whine and bitch about it. Instead of lurking on 4chan all day, why not take your fat ass to the gym, or go for a walk?

>>9168540
You'll be fine. Just start counting calories, eat appropriate amounts and the weight will drop off.

Breathe. You'll have your doll clothes if you really want to fit in them.

>>9168639
I wish I could, but I feel like I'm in too deep. I haven't much in the way of savings to say, go back to college. I've been promoted in my current line of work, and it looks good on the resume. The middle-paying job is one I wouldn't mind doing half as much as my current one, but my current job has days that just make me want to instantly ragequit. I guess I wish I could just spend the interim time making frilly little piles for people, but if I quit my current job and then did that while trying to find something better in the same field, I'd be laughed out of every interview. A large part of making it to that next step, not-half-so-horrible job is unfortunately proving you can put up with tons of bullshit.
>>9168540
I wish people weren't being so mean to you, anon. If I may, how long did it take you to gain all that weight? If it took you more than a month to put on, you're not going to lose it in a month, so don't shame yourself. Just stick to water for beverages, cut down on starch and sugar, and spend plenty of time doing the exercises of your choice. There's a kawaii little princess hiding in there and she'll emerge in her own time. Just stay motivated, love yourself, and be positive!

I don't know desu. I would assume it's for fame/money, but thirsty normies seem to be the only people that pay any attention to Nigri clones. It's not like other cosplayers are going to find it amazing that she glued craft store rhinestones to a bra with tacky glue.

>>9168524
Do you anon as long as you're comfortable. My prom was boring and shitty (me and a friend were dragged along by a friend who wanted to make her ex there jealous), and yeah, prom dresses are fugly. If not lolita, at least wear something that's cute and not that shiny shit.

>>9168540
I'm sorry to hear that, anon. My boyfriend was bullied for being fat and was bulimic for years. Everyone thinks people who are fat need shaming, but that actually, scientifically, just doesn't work. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never even Googled jack shit about it.

You've probably heard all the weight loss stuff before, but the first *real* step--and this will sound very Tumblr, but they've done studies on this--is to stop hating your body.

Hating your body is the worst thing you can do for your health, both physical and mental. I'm not saying you have to think "I'm happy with how I look," but think instead "I want to treat my body well." If you love your body, you'll want to take care of it and make healthy decisions. That is a much more effective strategy than inundating yourself with shame, which can drive you to develop an eating disorder + to think of exercise and diets as a punishment (or use them as a punishment). You will be MUCH more motivated to continue a healthy weight loss journey if you think of it as a kindness to yourself/your body, too.

What do you gulls do when you're waffling on whether or not to make a purchase/deciding between items?

>>9168855
I made a little collage of dresses I really, really want, and try to stick to it as best as I can. That means that even if I have a bit of extra money, if none of my 'have to have' dresses are for sale, I'll save my money and wait. Maybe the dress you want will turn up secondhand?

>>9168858
I'm crossing my fingers for that, but dresses from Taobao brands (unless they're popular and have multiple releases) rarely pop up, much less in one's preferred colorway/cut/size.

Case in point: I've been waiting for Avenue D'enfer's Tea Time in Bordeaux skirt in small/pink to come up secondhand for over a year. I've only ever seen the JSK listed twice on Lacemarket.

I think I'll take your advice and just wait for something I love. I've had issues with spending money on things I'm lukewarm about and then missing out on good stuff.

I had the same problem - spending money just because I had it, only to have something I really wanted turn up a week later. It got so depressing missing out on the things I wanted just to have a 'meh' wardrobe.

Recently I got back into meeting new people at conventions and I met this awesome group of people with similar interests. One of them happened to live in my area so we would meet up to hang out going to places and just talk about our favorite games. Recently I got acquainted with more friends of theirs within the general cosplay group and we hit it off really well: I even kept close contact with one of them and we IMed every day.

Now all of the sudden, I got dropped by that group. I used to be able to make plans with them no problem and chat with them everyday and now things have gone silent and they're really dismissive of anything I suggest. This resulted in a huge meltdown I had and led me to delete most of my social media accounts and scrap my cosplay and convention plans. It makes me feel like shit and super reluctant to cosplay anymore because I feel like each time I join a new friend group revolving around fandoms it always ends up with me being kicked out for no reason. And yes, I did ask if I did anything that may have upset them and they hadn't said anything.

I've been gathering lolita pieces for about 2 months now, but I've only worn coords out a handful of times because I've been nervous about how my friends and coworkers would react. I put on a simple coord to go to work in this morning and my boyfriend commented on cute I look, and all my coworkers are gushing over how cute I look. I'm so happy gulls, I'm going to start wearing stuff out more often.

That's great, anon! Keep at it!

>>9169107
At least he means well? I mean sure, his idea of goth is silly and you don't wear the style yourself so his suggestion of going out with you when you're dressed up is misguided, but you know.
Try showing pictures instead of explaining in words next time, that will probably be easier.

>>9169111
yeah I was kicking myself afterwards for not showing him pics. I wanted to, but I don't have much for bookmarks handy, so while I was googling pics he was saying he had to get off the computer because fb chat was hurting his eyes. (not that that stopped him from continuing to chat for another quarter hour anyway.) so I was mainly trying to end the conversation.

if he brings it up again I will show him some pics.

and yeah, he means well and I'm not mad at him, but I really should have filtered him out of that post. out of all the posts that would have opened up a can of worms, I didn't suspect it would be that one. he is one of those people who rarely knows what he's talking about, but by god you're gonna hear all about it anyway.

>>9168239
Congrats anon!

>>9168871
Have you tried the secondhand market on Taobao? I see a lot of Taobao brand dresses there.

>>9169138
You can do it anon. I had the same feelings when I started to wear lolita daily and I was in the school which was combined with middle school back then. I would recommend to start out by wearing your outfits to do normal things mire often and when it's normal to you and you are more confident wear them to school. I was kinda toned town and have always used my own hair but I was still anxious about what people will think of me. Eventually, pretty much no one cared. Few middle schoolers even ended up picking lolita up.

>>9169090
I know that feeling but here's what you can do.

>stave off soda cravings by getting flavor packets for water
Seriously, they have every Crush flavor and lots of teas and fruity drinks. No excuse to want junk soda instead of water when you got that variety.

>try some of those Green Tea/Mega-T pills
They're supposed to boost your metabolism.

>eat smaller portions spread out
I'm terrible at this but I heard it works and after a while you'll get full faster if you try to eat a larger meal.

>Do something!
Dance, walk, do some Pokemon Go, etc. Do something for at least half an hour a day or get Google Fit and try to walk at least half a mile during the course of the day. I get mine in by walking back and forth across campus to classes and the library. At the very least it'll balance out what you eat so you don't gain.

Thanks for the support, anon! I shouldn't be nervous because there seems to be a lot of weebs/alt people on campus for being such a small town but still 99% of the people wear jeans and tshirts and only staff wear dresses so it's the whole "I don't want to stand out" anxiety. I do love how lolita looks though and just being cute in general and not giving a fuck what anyone thinks but it's easier said than done.

I'll start off with some really toned down stuff and see how it goes. I think goth would actually be less shocking than some of the pastel/sweet which works great for me.

I'll be kawaii one day~ even if I end up like Momoko and be all alone in a sea of Simply Southern tshirts and farmer tans.

>>9169165
I'm glad if I can help! Just remembering how unconfident and nervous I felt makes me want to encourage others to try it and see that it's not bad. I have this warm feeling when elderly people of my tiny village starts to know me by my clothes in positive manner. It don't feel as bad to be the sore tumb sticking out.

>>9168158
Idk, I always felt like trying to hide my weeb/geekness from normie guys, cause I still felt that me being a weeb/geek would be unattractive for them. Being shy didn't help either.. (Well OK, except when I'm in Asian country. Then shy is suddenly a positive trait for attracting men.)

I've been drinking lemonade packets, and I have been doing a couch to 5k thing with my doggo :( we Pokemon go too. I'm not sure if I should try to make time for lifting or what. Not great at the smaller portions spread out but I eat maybe a fourth of what he does and that's so not fair. I usually have oatmeal or a 90 cal granola bar for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, and then a home cooked dinner. Men suck. Maybe I'll try the green tea pills :(

>>9169181
Aw it's alright anon. I actually remember there being a commercial where a couple was losing weight and the guy lost a ton while the woman didn't lose much and the product was specifically designed to help women lose weight that stubbornly stuck around because of a few reasons. Maybe Googling might help because I cannot for the life of me remember what it was but it listed several good reasons why it's harder for women to lose weight and was specifically to help with those issues.

>>9169090
it's a calories in, calories out game. it's not healthy to eat just twinkies, but if you only ate 1300 calories of them a day you would lose a lot of weight. You shouldn't play that game with soda though because it's too hard to play. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is you've been eating or drinking too much even though you cut out soda.

I'm really uncomfortable. It's difficult to find through normal searching, so I know she had to really look for it. I'm a very private person and the whole point of the "secret" Facebook was to keep my irl and Lolita life separate. She crossed that boundary and I'm not sure where to go from here.

That sucks. I used to use FromJapan to order from mbok. I would send the highest bid I was willing to pay and they'd make it so it would bid in increments automatically up until that amount (if that makes sense). Maybe use them next time? As a heads up, though, I did miss out on a dress I was willing to pay more for because the other bidder sniped it at the absolute last second. What dress was it?

>>9169520
No prob! Not many shopping services will let you purchase from it so it's not that well known. It's a goldmine for Taobao brands that sold out though!

I started getting seriously into cosplay this year and it feels great
Before I'd buy or do closet cosplay but this year I decided I would make something
Then I made another, and another
I have shitty confidence and no social skills in my day to day life but when I wanna do a cosplay, even if it looks hard, I can tell myself "yeah I can do that"
And I can actually do it
Even if in the end I'm not satisfied with the result, people really like what I make
Also I get more human face to face interaction at my 2 yearly cons that I do in a whole year
You can look at me and say "oh that's sad he only feels good about himself when he's either working on cosplays or wearing them at cons" but it's better than never feeling good about myself like it was before

I'm never bothered when strangers/the general public makes rude comments when I'm wearing lolita but when my family does it really stings. They're never really direct about disliking it but make really passive aggressive comments, side glances and chuckles.

I know I shouldn't be looking for their approval or anything but it still bothers me.

Whatever reason it may be, if they don't care about your feelings then they aren't worth it. If you were reading too much into it, they would've corrected you, but obviously something is up.

I say cut your losses and get back out there. Easier said than done, but better than being sad and friendless. You can show them up next con with a cooler group of friends doing a group cosplay.

I only ever really feel confident when I'm wearing cosplay. I'm usually a shut in and an introvert which I'm fine with, but when I wear cosplay, I become much more out going and extroverted. This is great because last con I finally had the courage to talk to a qt girl who I know is single and a lesbean at a con a few weeks ago. We hit it off really well and text a bunch. But it's so much easier to type then talk in real life. We're meeting in person again since she doesn't live too far from me, but I'm so afraid I'm going to be an awkward fuck. To make matters worse, I know we're both planning on going to a con in two months and I keep fretting that she's going to find out how introverted I am and then get weirded out by how I'm a completely different person at cons.

Maybe I should just stick to shitting on people via internet forums and sewing my heart out.

He saved me from a horribly abusive relationship, was there for me when I found out I was sick. The kind of sick where I'm not gonna get better and I could die. He stopped me from committing suicide when life was crushing me, convinced me to go to the hospital. He literally saved my life, and is my knight in shining armor, my prince charming, and my happily ever after. I've never been so happy and now I'm terrified I'm going to lose him to the cruelty of war. He's not ready. The man can't even say pussy out loud because it's too "lewd". He's basically Whinnie the Pooh except 6'5", fit, and gorgeous.

I'm so sorry to hear that anon.
Since this isn't /cgl/ related I figured I'd better reply now before it got deleted but you gotta spread your wings, buddy!
Maybe meet some military wives where you're stationed? At least they'll understand what you're going through and you'll be able to meet new people and maybe have a support system going.
Also don't be afraid to talk to the roomie! I don't know what your relationship is like with them but at least they're there.

You could also look into getting an animal for support? Something to look after and care for made me less depressed and got me out of the house and taking pictures of my animal and using them as an icebreaker really helped me come out of my shell. Before I hardly ever spoke to strangers or made an effort to respond to conversation but now I can talk about my dog and their own pets and it really makes it a lot easier.

All this won't change that he's going off somewhere but at least it'll keep you sane until he gets back and you won't be completely alone worrying yourself sick.

Hope you get it soon then. It sounds like it'll help a lot but really, look into meeting other wives in your area for a support group. It won't hurt to try and if you can't stand them then just don't go back but you never know, you might find some awesome friends.
If you're not really able to go out then try online groups.

Recovery. They go into the field and recover bodies and.... bits. Often there's mines, or ambushes waiting because enemy soldiers know Americans are sentimental about their fallen. He currently works guarding a nuclear missile, I should add. That's why he's always gone, he's at the site.

He may be gone for a while guarding the missiles but a nuke site is the safest place he'll ever be if you worry about that

I have my cosplay finished on time, except for the wig. It's my first time wearing one and it arrived just shortly before the con so I didn't have much time to try styling it. Now I'm paranoid it's going to look like crap. But it's either wear that or use my similar colored but slightly inaccurate styled real hair.

I feel for that guy a little but honestly public proposals are never a good idea unless you're both pretty much in agreement that you're going to get married. I've personally never seen a con proposal that wasn't hugely awkward.

That would be an absolute nightmare situation for me. If someone proposed to me like that i would probably say no because they clearly don't know me well at all!

It happened to my cousin last year actually, the guy she had been dating for 8 months did it in the middle of a busy shopping mall (of all places!?) and they had a huge audience because the first people who saw it were like "OH MY GOD THAT GUYS PROPOSING" so others came to watch. She said yes in public to spare him the embarrassment but once they were in private told him it was actually a no. They broke up a few months later, I'm surprised it lasted that long after that.

It's the first time I'm happy about my dress being stuck in customs, because I'm in the hospital and I don't know when I'll be able to pick it up.
Seriously, being in the hospital is so un-loli, I don't even wanna look at dresses for comfort anymore.

I'll keep it in mind to turn to you, during a commercial break in an episode of The Simpsons, and ask you if you want to get hitched.

Not that anon but as another fat shit trying to lose weight you're actually pretty spot on.

While sure I still hate my body, trying not to focus on it helps a lot. After all the reason I became this fat is eating out of stress and anxiety, and the more I hated myself the more I wanted to eat.

Also do not underestimate how addicted you've probably gotten to sugars and fatty food. At my worst moments I would just stand in the kitchen and stare at the cabinets for an hour in the hopes of some shitty snack food appearing because I just HAD to have some.

I actually witnessed a cosplay con proposal that went really well and was super sweet, I think the couple cosplayed as Ho-Oh and Dark Lugia gijinkas, but I'm not sure. It was during the cosplay contest too and I'm glad it had a happy ending.

last con i went to a girl cosplaying as lightning from ff(really wel done cosplay to) took me to the dance floor and i went mega awkward and i more a less ran i still feel really bad about that as she seemed nice.

My friend keeps oil cleansing with coconut oil and it breaks her out every time. I try to share the knowledge I get from the skincare threads here and sca on reddit but she says that's "too expensive" and that coconut oil is the best because it's natural.
I keep having to hear how it's "unfair" that my skin is nice (not really) every time she breaks her face out with coconut oil and it's so frustrating.
She does a lot of pinterest skincare with baking soda and lemons too. Dude you can't bitch when you're the one causing the problem. Learn some shit.

Joseph is my husbando too, and I understand how you feel. I've never been cheated on, but one of my friends has and I hated his ex for it. Finding out that Joseph cheated on his wife bothered me, but it doesn't stop me from being obsessed with him. I have a Joseph body pillow that I can't sleep without. I spent 100 dollars on a tequila Joseph mousepad. I made a life sized cardboard cut out of him. I even have a shrine.

What's up with Lolitas and doggies. Third jsk I bought off Lacemarket and third time where it still got all the doggy smell including dog hair all over it. Seller even handwashed the piece. Luckily they were all solid pieces and therefore quite easy to clean, but still annoying to do it everytime I get something new.

Tell her to look up ~natural oil cleansers~ on roseroseshop. If she's too cheap for RRS then nothing can help her.

I'm moving away for uni and I can't take any more of her shit. She's vindictive though so I'm worried she's going to turn people I knew against me. She's pretty persuasive and aggressive. I don't know how I got into this situation, she used to be so nice and I'm usually a confident and outgoing person. I'm exhausted by this and I just want to spend time with my work friends and my boyfriend but I'm not allowed. I'm glad that I'm moving away but I'm sad that I'll be away from my bf. I just feel so trapped by her, even if I'm in a different city.

Gosh sorry for venting that, I've not really said that to anyone else before.

Now to keep it cgl related:
>obtain dream dress as a present to myself
>suddenly get into uni
>student life hits so I can't buy anything that goes with the dress.

I'd like to be able to do that but she's never done anything physical. Also she's like 4"8 and I'm almost 6ft so unless she had a weapon I'd be the one in the wrong.
She's very sly about the way she says things -- if someone overheard us or read our messages they probably wouldn't think much of it, but it's fucking bad.
She called me saying she wanted to end it because I treat her like shit though (because I forgot her doctor's appointment) so yeah, problem solved I guess haha

Get back into it!

>>9170513
Shit, that sounds like my ex-bff who has BPD. She'd get jealous and upset when I spent the weekend with her and texted my then girlfriend while BFF was checking shit on her computer that didn't interest me. She absolutely haaaated my girlfriend and even tried to confiscate my phone for the weekend numerous times.

She's also abandoned me for her buddies at cons but would turn around and passive aggressively comment about how ALL her friends (aka me and a friend of mine she knew) were at a con without her while she was stuck at home.

I could write stories about this girl (and have here) so I won't say anymore but it seriously sounds like your friend has some mental issues.

>>9170513
Anon I'd really encourage you to cut contact with this "friend", if your boyfriend treated you this way you would have dumped him long ago.

If you don't want a direct confrontation do a slow fade, this might be helpful to you. (I realise she's not a psychopath, but the technique is good for dealing with dramatic, toxic people in general)

Lvl 1 cosplay
No idea where to start
Only cosplay I want to do is vanguard armor from RuneScape, without the helmet.

>>9170578
I probably will as soon as I can figure out what cosplay and con I'm doing next. Past summer there really isn't much going on as far as cons go... At least around here. I'll probably reply to that cosplans thread too when I figure that out as well because I do like the thread idea. I just have no idea what I'm doing with my life right now.

>>9170590
I reckon she has BPD or something, it runs in her family. She never admits to her faults and she always tries to fight people when we're out and about. It's so embarrassing. Before she cut ties with literally every friend she had aside from me, she would embarrass me and be such a bitch to me in front of other people. But then last year she just decided to stop seeing anyone aside from me. I saw that as a good thing at first, because I thought she wouldn't be mean to me. But now she relies on me for everything and I accidentally forgot something that was important to her, and I've apologized a billion times, but I'm the worst person in the world, ever, and apparently she does not deserve to be treated like this (oh the irony). I'm just super exhausted.
It sucks that you had to deal with that person. My friend does similar things with the phone - she gets super arsey if I have to call my bf or if he texts me, but she has 20 min conversations on the phone to me when I'm at his house. I'll try ending the conversation but she'll be having an emergency and she needs me on the phone apparently. This usually happens about 1 am.

>>9170591
You're right, I'm always the first person to tell someone to dump an abusive boyfriend or friend or whatever, so I don't know how she managed to do this to me. I thought I was a strong person, this is super embarrassing. Thanks for the link, I was thinking of fading her out my life but I didn't really know how to go about it, so thanks!

>>9170508
next time I'll bring this up. hopefully won't get stonewalled by the "I can't afford it!" bs followed by snapchats of all the shit she buys every day regardless

>>9170596
Yep, sounds exactly like my ex-bff. Throw in unchecked impulse buying to "make me feel better!" and dropping her 1k savings on coloring books and coloring accessories because "they control my depression!" along with alienating herself from every friend she made and hitting rock bottom only to cling to me until I moved away triggering her full panic crazy mode...
It's best you get far, far away. Your friend may have let you go for now but give it a few weeks and she'll pop up again acting as if she never got rid of you and likely acting better behaved to lure you in before she cycles again.
That's what mine did after the last big fight we had over conventions after she blamed me, lied to my face, then cut off contact to sulk until she popped up weeks later to show off something I may have mentioned being into once months before.

>>9170601
Good luck anon! There's a lot of other ~natural~ skincare products on rrs, so maybe she will finally find her gateway to korean skincare and then quit her bitching. If she'll whine about the shipping, tell her to pack it as full as she can right before it gets too expensive, there's a lot to choose from. Also Mizon products have free shipping there.

>>9170606
oh wait, is your ex-bff colouring-chan? If so I've been following that train wreck of a story. Sounds like our stories are more similar than I thought. I used to read your stuff and wonder how a person could behave like that. I kind of understand now.
She did buy me loads of stuff for my birthday, almost more than she could afford, then kept boasting about how much she spent on me. It was more than my parents and my bf spent on me and made THEM feel like they didn't do enough when in reality I didn't want all that stuff. She has to be number 1 but I can't put her over other people anymore.
I just wish we could be friendly to each other without having to cut off all ties, because she will do what she can to ruin my reputation when I'm away. I bet she'll at least attempt to get with my boyfriend. I've known him since I was a kid and had a crush on him then, but she reckons she got to him first, just because he's /fit/ and she wanted him. She's evil when she's been 'wronged' and I don't want to be in this position.
It's kind of pathetic to say this on an anon board, and it's probably because it's 2am where I am, but I'm kind of afraid. I don't have any friends really aside from my bf, and I see a future with him, so it'd be better for me if she was far away from everyone I love. Hey, can one of you guys adopt her? If anyone wants to buy a psychotic, delusional adult, please tell me. Overseas buyers preferred, obviously.

>>9170630
Yeeeep that is me. She contacted me just a few hours ago after nearly a month of silence though so take my word for it, your friend will be back.

>she did buy me loads of stuff for my birthday
>boasted about it
Coloring-Chan has done that as well. She'll send me cash on my birthday or Christmas or, for my last birthday, make a big to do about wanting to buy me ANYTHING I WANTED but she really wanted to use my gift to get 2-Day shipping on some coloring supplies for herself because she's banned from buying stuff off Amazon for spending so much of her family's money.

I'll level with you anon and I mean this seriously, you need to get away from her and fuck your reputation. For ages I worried about CC posting what she has on me but then I realized one day I didn't give a fuck. If anyone believed her then that was their issue because I talked to two people I'm friends with and assumed were her friends as well and turns out neither could stand her and when they found out what she'd done to me emotionally they wondered how the hell I'd been her friend so long.
Be honest with your boyfriend and tell him what's up and to be wary of her. If he loves you, he'll believe you. If you don't want to outright cut her off, do what I did and take the opportunity she's given you and just basically vanish. Stop replying to her and if you have any proof of her wanting to stop being friends, keep it and use it later if you have to. Timestamp that shit and all.

I really symphathize with you because CC was my only local friend I could see regularly. I've been away two years now and it wasn't until I got into college a month ago that I finally started to make friends with the people in my classes and it's SO much better. Believe me, even being alone will feel fantastic compared to what you're feeling now. The freedom to do what you want when you want without her looming over you is worth being friendless for now. Once you get settled into Uni you'll make friends in no time!

>>9170513
ugh anon, my old best friend was similar. she was fun to hang around though. her cringiness was amusing.

screaming at my boyfriend and calling him a faggot, screaming at me for hanging out with other people, screaming when we didn't do what she wanted, ugh.

In the end, she ended up dropping ME because I told her her bullshit was unreasonable.

part of me is like "good fucking riddens"
but the other part of me is really fucking salty that after a 7 year friendship she dropped me because I stood up to her for once.

Its not worth the hassle honestly.
sad thing is, I was her only (not online) friend she had.

>>9170546
haha oh my god were you and I friends with the same person jesus

>>9170654
Also it really helps if you have dirt on her as well. CC doesn't know but I have shit on her that could ruin her position in our local cosplay community that I've never even posted here because she's never given me cause to yet. It'll probably happen someday with how she's escalating with the drama every year but it does make me feel good to know that nothing she does to me can be as bad as what I can do to her.

That and she's one hell of a motivational tool. She's nearly 30 and hasn't finished college and sits at home dropping her parents cash on dating sims and kimchi while being so sad on social media that she openly brags about how she's so lazy that she uses a stick to turn on/off everything so she doesn't have to get out of bed where she lays all day.

Every time I think I'm up against something difficult/impossible I think how sweet it'll be to conquer it and post about it later for CC to seethe over. I got into college because of her, I'm acing all my classes because of her, I'm planning my first solo domestic trip because of her, and one day I hope to make it to Korea by myself because for the past few years she's acted like every winter she's 100% going to Korea and then every year she has an excuse as to why her EVIL parents won't let her go.

You can conquer this anon and just think of how you can be everything your friend has wanted to be and nothing they can do can stop you. You got this.

>>9170654
haha we've spoken before! God, seriously screw colouring-chan and people like her. I never used to understand it but it turns out I was in the same position as you all along.
It's weird, the stuff she does, like she's so lazy, she'll make me shut her wardrobe doors and stuff when I'm at her house, but it's not like she'll say please or thank you, it's just kind of a standard demand. Whenever we're with other people she's either crazy nice to me or she jokingly insults me. She always says we'll go out, have a nice time and she wont drink but she lies, she does drink and she gets cruel when she's drunk. One time she shouted at me and my boyfriend because we had to cut a night short because he felt sick, like if it doesn't please her 100% it's a terrible thing to do and I apparently deserve to be screeched at. I know this is just minutiae and little stuff but she does other things too, and they just pile up and pile up and I'm at breaking point.

Thank you so much, I honestly needed to read all of that. Even after her ringing me up earlier and her saying I'm evil etc and she can't do this (yeah, whatever) I feel a lot better. Like I can go see my boyfriend more often, I can go out with whoever I want now. Sure I was frustrated at first but I don't really mind how I get out of this, just that I am out of this. I even don't know how I managed to get into this position. I'm a pretty strong person usually, how did I allow someone to treat me this badly?

cgl related feel to keep this on topic:
>bought heels from a normie site that go so well with my halloween coord
>wearing them out and about
>sit on a bench to change into flatter shoes
>forget to put heels in my bag

>>9170663
Don't worry about it. They start off gradual like, I thought CC was the sane one in my group of weeb friends for yeaaaaars until I stopped seeing her every weekend and then realized even being tagged in a post by her bugged me.
She's also extremely lazy to the point where unless her mom takes us grocery shopping before her and the stepdad go away for the weekend, we end up eating microwaved potatoes or instant potatoes all weekend because she's too lazy to cook and refuses to let me do it because I'll mess something up but she'll happily make me do the dishes. The very last time I stayed with her for three days we ate Lunchables and cookies I brought for her birthday and one night she had veggies out of a can while I ate powered instant potatoes.

She's nowhere as vicious as your friend but she's said some hurtful shit in the past so that's why it took me longer because if she'd been outright abusive like that I would have cut her out (yeah right, she's still friended on all my social media) ages ago.

But yes, congrats on your new freedom! I suggest having a nice interruption free date night with your boyfriend asap.

>>9170663
>>9170659
The two of your stories are making me think my on again off again ex has BPD. It's the same cycle.

>>9170658
>haha oh my god were you and I friends with the same person jesus
we might have be friends with the same person, but my friend doesn't have any online friends, so thankfully no.
I know everyone talks shit about cgl but literally I feel like I finally have the strength to do what I want now.

>>9170659
>>9170671
I wish I had dirt on her, but she's so shameless that she literally lets everyone know everything. She'll talk to strangers about getting fucked up the ass, and when someone doesn't want to talk about shit like that THEY are in the wrong.
Hey, at least you're right that I can be everything she wanted to be. As soon as I got into uni she started looking for ways to get into uni without finishing high school. She never passed her first year of A levels. She immediately asked me whether she could live with me in my uni accommodation...well that's a big fat nope.
>That and she's one hell of a motivational tool.
YEP this, the girl didn't have a job for a year and now works 3 part time waitress jobs. Acts like it's silver service. She wonders why I don't make as much as she does, even though my part time job makes more than her. It's because I have other things to do than just work 12 hour shifts. I don't look down on people who work jobs like that, just her lack of ambition scares me. Earlier this year I thought I didn't get into uni and I broke down in tears because I couldn't stand the thought of living at home like her, spending my parents money like she does, boasting when she cooks her own food like she's a master chef, and being her friend forever. Ugh, scary thought.
OMG the microwaved potatoes - for us it's instant ramen or plain spaghetti & mince. And she has to cook because the moment I do it it's WRONG and she hates it even though it's exactly the same as how she does it.
I think my friend will probably be a full on colouring-chan in five or ten years time. Maybe I should get her a colouring book as a parting gift?

I'm sorry I'm shitting up the thread with my abusive friend story, I've tried posting some cgl related feels as well to keep it kind of on topic so we don't get purged like so many threads. Also I'm sorry some of my replies are a bit incoherent, I'm trying to voice my thoughts but I'm kind of fuelled by rage right now so I'm not 100% sure I'm making sense.

>>9170678
Probably is. I hadn't really heard about BPD until I tried to google why my friend was being such a bitch. She has all the traits of a psychopath too, aside from the fact that she actually does have empathy, but I never know whether that's fake or not.

another cgl related feel:
>moving city, obviously
>join new comm
>it's such a huge comm, with loads of efamous, e-infamous people
>old comm was like 5 people, I never went because I somehow thought a larger comm would be better
>what was I thinking
>how on earth will I make friends

>>9170678
I'd never even known about BPD before learning CC had it but now I'm super wary of being involved with anyone who has it after her and suspecting my ex-girlfriend had it as well. I have really rotten luck with dating and friends it seems because everyone has crazy levels of drama from The Great 1k Spending to If You Break Up With Me I'll Kill Myself to I Married My Ex I Restraining Ordered BTW Wanna Threesome?

>>9170682
From the sounds of it it's a wonder she has any reputation herself.. I'm glad you're using this situation to better yourself though, especially when she's failing hard to mimic you.


/cgl/ related thing as well to keep it on topic:

>can't go to cons because college classes during pre-con + traveling = I'd get there Friday morning at the earliest

>>9170593
Break down the thing you want to make into parts. Start from the top. Identify each piece of the costume to the best of your ability. Will you need a hat or a wig? What about make-up or contacts? Will you need clothing to go under the armor? What kind of shoes do you need? Are there props that need to be included to make the character recognizeable?

When you know what pieces you need to get, take inventory of your skills, money, and time. Is possible for you to make these items? Could you learn how to make them in the time until your event? Can you easily purchase them? Can you commission someone else to make them for you?

When you know what pieces you need to make and what pieces you need to buy, start googling. Google everything. (I usually start with "X cosplay" so I can see how other people have created the cosplay.) It will seem stupid, but you aren't the first person to cosplay. "How do I make armor, how do I make foam look like leather, how do I sew spandex." Keep googling until you have an idea of where to find your items, then start buying.

If you have specific questions, you can ask them here, but at least try to look on your own first. Your first cosplay will suck. Its a fact. But you have to start somewhere so you can learn.

I must have missed the 'I married my ex I restraining ordered' and the threesome part, wowee, maybe I'm not as up to date as I thought
Also I'm pretty sure I sounded super self-absorbed and 'I'm so much better than her' throughout my last rant, that wasn't my plan oops.
Kind of in the same boat, bought a load of cute cooking supplies and a cute bento box for this coming year. Everything is pink or pastel pink, and I'm also learning how to make cute food to put in that box. I'm failing hard because I always rush my cooking.
I'll shut up now haha, thanks for the confidence boost though

>>9170712
tl;dr version of that, vampire goffic wannabe bi friend had off/on relationship with greasy goffic reject and filed restraining against him after a fight. Later married him and had their wedding reception at a Red Lobster (shitty seafood chain only known for their complimentary bread) and started a sex arrangement with some girl who 'cheated' on them with next door neighbors aka goffic couple's BFF and her husband (more of my old friends) and so vamp goff FB messaged me thinking I was bi (I'm les) and asked if I knew anyone I could send their way hinthint "I only know you, btw you remembered how I asked you to move in when we first got married?"

And nah, you don't sound self-absorbed at all. Oh gosh, you're doing bento too and cooking? I'm so excited for you! I hope I see your stuff in any future threads with how often we have general kawaii lifestyle stuff. Good luck to you!

>mfw i write a lot of articles related to mental health awareness and have been super open about having BPD while everyone in the lolita/cosplay community who has it seems to be doing fuck-all to manage it and making the reputation it has worse.

really hoping my comm doesn't find out about it and cut me out. I work really fucking hard to manage my disorder and these people just make me scared of how people will treat me.

I have enough issues without extra reasons for paranoia. Why can't people in this fucking community manage their fucking disorders?

>>9170721
Because they can use it as an excuse for being shitty people. That's basically it.

>>9170721
I know 2 people with BPD, one is an older family friend who is one of my biggest inspirations, and one is a girl who absolutely refuses to own up for her actions because she's got a mental illness so she shouldn't apologise for anything. She uses it as a platform to manipulate and hurt people.
Honestly it's a matter of attitude how people see you. If you're a brat about it like the girl I know, you won't have a good reputation. If you try your hardest, and you're not an absolute bastard about it, you'll be fine

>>9170723
I fucking hate that -- my mother did the same thing. It's one of the major reasons I ended up developing the disorder in the first place (yay, abusive parents).

>>9170718
Oh my god, that's a story and a half...people never fail to amaze me, honestly. I hate bisexual stereotypes but damn that is literally a bisexual stereotype right there. You've had more than your fair share of crazy people, that's for sure.

Thank you so much for hearing me out! I hope to see your bento boxes around too! May your bento always be kawaii, anon!

>>9170729
Thanks. I definitely try not to use it as an excuse, lol. Maybe an explanation of what made me explode, but I try to isolate if i feel a really bad episode coming on. I hate people who use their disorder as an excuse to be a fucking asshole. It makes it so much harder to deal with shit.

To keep things /cgl/ related -- my first brand piece is in the mail and I'm really, really excited.

I kinda feel guilty buying the dresses since I don't wear them as often as I want, but I work all the time. And for me, I'd rather see him less stressed about his finances than have another pretty dress in my closet. The last dress I purchased could've covered his car repairs and I offered to help, but he said he doesn't want to resort to that. Its just a crappy feeling to look at dresses and admire them and want them, but to also think the person you care about could really use the money instead. Right now I'm just making him dinners and bringing him lunch to help out, but I want to do more.

I can't unsee it. Gonna have to cancel it. Fuck everything.

I'm quite new to lolita (started buying pieces last November and have 4 main pieces), and all the time I've been holding myself back wearing these pretty clothes by thinking "Oh, it's too fancy. Can't wear that, people will think I'm crazy.". And now, for some reason, I stopped giving a shit.

I'm wearing my cute clothes and not caring what anyone thinks because, bloody hell, I spent enough money/time getting the few I currently have

Not giving a shit is the best feeling.

Feel like all my friends have moved on without me. Focus all my time into my hobbies because it makes me happy. Get shit from family for not going out with friends anymore.
I'm happy focusing on my hobbies I like staying in. Thinking about friends just makes me miserable, I've said I'm happy as I am. Just can't get them to understand that shouting won't suddenly make me enjoy going out.

>>9171144
I guess your family is just worried about you but shouting is a bit odd? I go out like few times a month to see someone and they have never asked about it because that's how I have been always. Maybe a sudden change in your habits have concerned them?

>>9171173
I wouldn't call it sudden. I've always been quiet. It's just obvious my friends are just being polite, so it's a waste of all our time pretending.

We both had our own multiple separate instances of shitiness with her, but we thought maybe we were over reacting or something, we kept giving her more chances. Experciening it together we realized it was not us overreacting .... she is a terrible person. On the trip we called her out a few times and she played the victim. After the trip we tried to play nice on Facebook at least, but after she posted on fbook about how the Holocaust museum was being"bitches" for not allowing Pokemon go to be played there, and then guilt tripped friend a for disagreeing with her about it (we are both Jewish, she is not), we were done lol.

Does anyone else get freaked out by the thought of getting caught editing pictures of yourself?
I usually just crop images and rotate them but I feel weird going through just 3 pictures to do this, but obviously it's okay if I'm by myself or if no one can see me doing it. That and making a collage is extra weird. Like I'd feel 20x worse if I got caught putting pictures of myself together

>tfw no kawaii weeb crossplaying bf

I know that sounds like I've shoehorned cosplay into a non-/cgl/ feel but goddamn gay male crossplayers (or cosplayers who are fine with crossplayers) that don't have some kind of sissy fetish are unicorns here in the UK.

Like the sad person I am I looked at every member of the 'LGBT Group' of the biggest convention in the country and of the small handful of guys I didn't find a single one who's my type at all. Lesbians and transmen are everywhere though.

exfoliate your skin where the bra will stick. If your skin is dry and has a lot of dead skin buildup the sticky bra won't stick.
Don't moisturize your boobs though, just give them a light scrub.

idk, sorry if this is a mess, but I just lost a lot of friends last year because medical and financial shit got hard and I had a breakdown, and after picking myself and starting to turn my life around, I miss cosplaying and the con art community, but it seems like I burned all my bridges and I honestly can't remember how or why it happened. Panic attacks probably, I just wish anyone anywhere would forgive me for it.

>>9172412
>it seems like I burned all my bridges and I honestly can't remember how or why it happened. Panic attacks probably
fuck, I know this feel. not with cosplay community but with friends from my college days and early 20s. it's demoralising to struggle to try and keep your head above water, then go back and find your old friends/comm buddies only to have them never return your calls.

idk about your case, but for me personally it was a combination of me acting like a dillhole and having kinda shitty friends. both those things I only realised in hindsight. over time, I got better at keeping friendships in spite of stress, breakdowns, etc.

here's hoping you find a new cosplay/con community and get a fresh start. who knows, maybe you'll find a dream job and relocate to some city where you're a total stranger so they can't hold your past against you. a clean slate.

should have an AA and enough skills by this next year though, so that relocation "clean slate" thing might be a possibility. If I move north for work Washington seems to have a reasonable cosplay scene i can try to get involved with

I haven't cosplayed since I last hung out with my friend over a year ago who is disgusted with me now because I'm in lesbians with her. The highlight of my weekends off work has been making rice or instant ramen with vegetables and meat to have while I rewatch Jinrui, Madoka, Princess Tutu among other things or binge read older completed manga series. I've gained weight and I'm starting to revert to preteen fujoshi tendencies. I watch videos of people together at cons or filmed panels and feel like I wasted my youth, where having stupid cringey fun is more forgiven, worrying about looking like a retard and shunning myself from potential friends.

I want to cosplay to hand out candy for Halloween but kids won't recognize most characters. I keep spending my money on weeb merchants and figures instead of new wardrobe pieces.

I feel like, rather than being simply dead inside, I have felt myself aging by each and every second so that I can feel my time slowly running out as three days blur into six months. I want to open a volume of CLAMP, crawl inside and never come back out. I'm dying senpai-tachis.

I worked her up to the idea of gay being okay over our several years friendship because I had fujoshi friends. We even wrote rule 63 fanfics of ourselves and did art collabs (yes, I know, cringe). I was never really interested in men or women, but I got attached. We used to hold hands, share a bed, spend all our time together. I admitted to her after she got a new boyfriend that I felt differently about her. She laughed it off, but we haven't seen each other since, and last time we spoke she made the conversation about sex with her boyfriend and how she was going to get me one too. She was always appearing super supportive of two guys and even poly relationships but said two girls together doesn't make any sense, isn't romantic, just wrong.

I feel like she wasn't the person I knew since she went back to school. She made friends with adult chuunis who claimed to be half angel or demon or what have you... legitimately. Her boyfriend too. I was the coolest and now I'm chop suey. I guess I'm just dramatic, but I feel horrible.

That's the worst anon. Falling for a bestie is hard as fuck to. I fell hard for one of my best friends growing up, kept that shit buried for years.

I'm so fucking done with this bitch. I bet she has been stealing them and that's what the wrappers on the floor are from, fuck her. I never offered her any and she never asked, what the hell?
She has a history of eating all of the share food and at best replacing it with Walmart brand.
Also after a vacation I brought back candies for the store, came back the next day and there were two left.
She never cleans up after her self and does the minimum amount of work on top of being very overweight and not knowing what deodorant is. All of this shit is starting to become unbearable.

Depends where you are, I guess. For a girl, any significant amount of fat on the tummy is probably skinnyfat. It's much more difficult for a girl to get low bodyfat, though. Then again, I think you're tall enough to eat quite a bit and still lose weight; my female friend eats like under 1k calories when she cuts to 48 kg weight to compete.

Your tummy sticking out could also be a postural problem instead of a weight one, too.

>>9173268
>6'+
>175 lbs
>tummy sticks out more than my boobs
I'm just...having an incredibly hard time visualizing your bodytype. 175 is a little high, but it's not drastically unreasonable if you're 6'+. I just can't figure out how your stomach sticks out more than your boobs at that height/weight unless you have a very flat chest and really unfortunate fat distribution. I guess maybe if you have very little muscle and all your weight comes from fat? Sorry if that comes across as offensive, I really don't mean it to be, I just can't reconcile a mental image. Do you have a photo?

Either way fuck them, though. Don't let fatty friends drag you down into their pit of unhealthiness, keep improving for your own sake. You'll be better off and feel worlds better when you're happy with your body.

Don't just use a sticky bra, use stick on foam padding.

>>9173278
Do masks cosplays or have (or know someone with) some really good make up skills, anon!!

>>9173295
i'm a mixture of apple/pear shaped, so even if I'm skinny my tummy still sticks out the same as my chest
I have semi-muscular thighs and fat just hits me at the tummy downwards. fat reaches my upper half last. arms first, then breasts.

>>9173268
145-155lbs seems like a reasonable goal for someone your height as a recommendation goal, 130 would be underweight but not by much. I wouldn't recommend getting that low.

Like >>9173295 said fat friends just want you to be as fat as they are, ignore them and do what makes you feel best. 175lb around 6ft is on the high end of a healthy weight, and for sure chubby unless you're ripped.

>>9173268
I'm a 6'1" male skeleton at 135 lbs, but my brother is the same height and ~175 lbs, and has muscle from working out, and he's still a bit chubby so I think ur on the higher end of healthy.

thank god, I thought I was having sort of a body image problem or something. I appreciate your replies.

>>9173367
Thank you hungry skellington

Good feel
>Get hired at a fast food place
>it's my very first job so starting it was rough, gradually get better at doing it
>Co-workers are really nice and helpful
>Super happy and excited to have money to spend on lolita, cosplay and itabag shit
>Saving up for my first dress

Bad feel
>After a month of working there things go down hill, start getting less hours these last couple of weeks, even the minors get more hours than me
>The training process is super shitty and my mangers are unprofessional and unhelpful
>One of my managers is a notorious jerk and on a constant power trip, When he picks on me he makes it seem like I'm an airhead who doesn't know what they're doing in front of others and assumes I know everything and doesn't bother to help me when I ask
>I'm a shy and passive piece of shit so I don't want to cause a scene and fight back or break into tears at work
>At one point when I was leaving through the front counter passing by him; he calls me an idiot low enough so none of my coworkers or customers hear him and plays it off as a joke to me
>Held my tears until I got out into the parking lot
I honestly want to quit but I'm afraid I won't be able to find another job. I just want a chill non greasy job where I can earn money comfortably for my dumb expensive hobbies goddammit

>>9173810
cry in front of him if he does some horrible shit when other workers are around. I'm dead fucking serious.

If you said 'Marines' or 'National Guard' there would be way more risk involved. Wish you luck anon, but I'm sure it'll be fine as long as you don't worry yourself into an early grave.

Either you aren't going to further his agenda, or he thinks you want something from him. If he's cos famous, he might just think you're trying to steal some spot light.

I kinda know the feeling anon, my dad worked for UN in three different countries and was away for a year twice. He was away atleast six weeks at a time and could only stay home for about a week. I always remember the moment when my little brother asked him if he would be in danger and he couldn't answer that. But you can make it. In my last relationship I thought it would be hard but I was fine when my bf left for army. Just keep yourself busy, do the things you like and plan what dinner you cook etc nice little surprises for him. It doesn't have to be fancy and he might be tired. Thinking about it made atleast me happy. Also don't worry too much. Anything can happen anytime so worrying too much is pointless, even if it's hard to not worry.

>>9173860
"National Guard" and danger don't go together unless we get into another stupid nation building exercise and need to call up everyone to get bodies everywhere. If it's just smashing things the normal units are enough.

It's easier to find another job while still in employment and everyone is next to useless for the first week to month of their first job. Also get the fuck out of the fast food industry unless you want shitty skin.

literally all they're selling is taobao...

>>9174026
another dime a dozen resell shop. your point?

>>9174027
Most "dime a dozen" resell shops don't go through the trouble of making a shit ton of posts pretending that they have "factory samples" and otherwise putting effort into pretending that they're actually producing the products
