Embarrassing/Annoying Friends

Cringe moment: hanging out at the gameroom, watching some dudes play soul calibur, my friend sneaks up on me and flips my skirt up in front of loads of people. I now wear shorts under every outfit.

>Friend says that it is cool that I'm going to a con with another group
>few weeks pass
>he messages me that I am cutting him out of my life
>Says he's loved me for years, and that I am a total bitch to him for not fucking him on the reg
>I'm sitting playing Skyrim and I can't deal so I ignore him
>Shows up at my place and starts banging on the door crying
>mfw the cops have to be called because he won't stop
>mfw he tells them I am a lying bitch who led him on for four years
Well I guess it's time to move out and away from where he could find me

>mfw go to con with a friend
>she makes me wait for her for almost an hour the second day of the con because she was late, I decide to eat something
>soon after she arrives, she tells me she'll hang out with her brother and his wife
>ok, fine, I'll check the booths and we'll see each other later
>she makes them come while I'm eating
>friend doesn't introduce them to me, they notice me being next to her and act all awkward
>she doesn't notice they're looking at me while I'm the only one at the table eating for minutes

>meet a cool jrock band, wants to take a photo with them
>hand my phone to friend, she doesn't take it and uses her shitty phone instead
>posing with the band for at least 5 minute and friend finally takes a shitty photo
>mfw she waited until someone walked right in front of the camera and completely ruined the photo

If only it was just this one time, but I think she just can't take photos at all. Me and a second friend wanted to take photos for the new year, the first friend kept waiting 5 minutes until she took photos and all of them were ruined. It's all nitpicking though, in the end.

The worst one though is another friend, a total normie pretending to be an hardcore nerd just because she watches the exact same things as everyone else beven though she's barely invested in her favorite shows:
>whenever something not mainstream and too "otakuish" is in sight she acts visibly uncomfortable and embarrasses everyone else in the friend group
>same thing with anything aimed at a female audience, regardless of how girly it is, because "she's one of the guys, girls are inferior and weak!!1!"
>passes in front of an official booth selling BL and GL manga, whine that it's gay,weird and gross like a child
>go to screening of the first episode of yoi, bitches about the main characters being pussies
>loses it when she discovers Victor's voice actor is the same one as her husbando's in Bleach, says he's a pussy and gay in an insulting way all the time

>don't go out much
>use cons as a supplement to a normal social life
>only really talk to other seagulls at seagull meets
>try to match everyone else's level of socializing
>feel like I'm talking too much and bringing too much attention to myself after the conversations already ended
>repeat for the entire con
>tfw you might be that embarrassing/annoying guy of the group

Now one of my favorite /cgl/ stories

>>9327604
Why are you friends with these people? I guess first girl isn't egregious but seriously why does anyone put up with the second cunt?

These threads remind me why I don't bother making friends.

>>9327522

That's not cringe. That's just embarrassing, and rude.

>>9327527
>mfw he tells them I am a lying bitch who led him on for four years

>>9327612
If you don't mind me asking, why?

>>9327643
This douche lord had a knife on him and me not opening the door might have saved my life. thank god the landlord called the police, I would have just waited until he went away. He was charged with trespassing and harassment. Fuck yeah I pressed charges.

Jesus are you me? I haven't been to a meetup but I have the same fears whenever I have conversations with people.

I mean, he worked with his hands and maybe it was on him because of what he did. But it looks pretty bad on him, considering he was saying a ton of crazy shit to try and get me to open the door. I'll never know what could have been, and I am happy about that.

>Occasionally consider actually going to cons with other people instead of just doing my usual "room with people I've known for a very long time but we're not like super close and everyone does their own thing" arrangement
>Read these types of threads
>Nevermind.

Why is it impossible to find someone who is mentally stable, not clingy, and rational AND is interested in the same stuff as you? I think my ideal con buddy would just be a clone of myself.

> GF and I rooming with friends at a con
> we're running a panel together, I have all the tech stuff and am responsible for the second half of the panel
> Going to check in with event staff, when she says she gotta go back to the room because she forgot the candy prizes
> 15min before panel so I'm like okay, i'll set things up and everything
> doesn't show up, doesn't answer phone
> does entire panel by self without prizes, panel goes decently
> goes back to hotel room
> walks in on now ex-gf shoving a dildo up friend were rooming with.
> Well... okay.
> walks out and goes home. Friends' BF drops off my shit the next day

In other news, I just go to cons alone now because who really needs friends.

>>9327362
>Rooming with four friends at our annual con
>First time rooming with two of them but everything's going well
>they brought tons of food, alcohol, extra cosplay supplies
>let me have part of their dinner even though I arrived late
>very funny and willing to help with anything people need
>My best friend starts getting increasingly annoying as the weekend goes on
>no room on the floor because her stuff is everywhere
>gets REALLY angry when someone says 'triggered' and makes a big deal out of people joking
>Spends all of her money the first day on con photos
>Has no money for food or merch
>Whines and complains about not having any money
>bad mouths the guy she took the photos with even though she offered to pay/she asked him to be in them
>Acts like she's starving even though the room is well stocked with snacks/dinner ordered out from the night before in the fridge
>Three of us spend the weekend hanging out together, avoiding her
>Having a great time
>Start to feel bad because she's my best friend
>Try to check up on her periodically
>Still bitching about being broke
>Eventually whines so much that someone's sister buys her food
>Everyone is pissed off/sick of her by Saturday evening
>Does this every con

She's terrible at managing her money and every con ends with her completely broke and crying. I usually end up being the one that has to deal with it but, this time, I'd had enough. Managed to save my con by spending time with other friends.

When I was still in university I had this weeby friend who wore a pink leopard print Hello Kitty bathrobe/roomwear from H&M as a cardigan/outerwear for class. I had it too but I used it as it was intended, you know, AS A BATHROBE inside my own four walls. It had a zipper instead of a belt so I guess that's something. Please also note that this was in Germany where we are not in the habit of going to class in sweatpants and such.
Then she got an h.NAOTO skirt and wore that practically every day.
I was ashamed to be seen with her, so be it if that makes me a cunt.

>have friend who is a few years older than me, in her late twenties
>friend is usually pretty chill irl
>at cons, turns into an obnoxious 14 year old weeb
>literally runs around screaming
>hiding under tables and behind curtains to scare people for a laugh
>love the shit out of the "raves"
>does shitty closet/crossover cosplays, half of the time their some kind of Harley Quinn disaster
>says awkward/cringey things to cosplayers
>hits on clearly underaged cosplayers
>occasionally decides to wear lolita to cons
>you guessed it, she's an ita with a mostly replica wardrobe

Aside from cons and cosplay and lolita, she's truly a fun, funny person who is actually pretty socially adept, but for some reason as soon as we hit a con, she morphs into my personal nightmare, and I can barely stand to be seen with her.

>>9327651
>If you don't mind me asking, why?
Its one of the stories that goes from 0 to
>This douche lord had a knife on him and me not opening the door might have saved my life. thank god the landlord called the police, I would have just waited until he went away. He was charged with trespassing and harassment. Fuck yeah I pressed charges.

>>9327926
Sounds brutal. Maybe cons are her outlet, and that's how she's able to be functional for the other 300 and something days of the year.

>>9327840

Ever hear of a lesbian, anon?

>>9328003
Well, I assume it was for sexual pleasure. They're both female and both were naked. I didn't take much else of the scene because I saw them and just walked out.

Like my ex didn't even try to explain herself to me? I think she just couldn't find a better way to break up with me honestly. Shitty friend agreed to it.

Don't worry anon everything could turn out just fine, my friend who has an illness couldn't make it to a con, and I was on vacation and had no internet. She found a guy online that didnt have a roommate, so she asked me if he could have my number so we can see if we can get along. End up talking for half an hour, sounds like a cool dude. End up meeting at the con, ocassionaly talk/hang around while doing our own thing. Slept very well and no drama/snoring/whatever happened to some unfortunate souls.

not every socially awkward introvert is autistic. gotta have those repetitive motor behaviors, devotion to sameness, freakouts over change, obsessiveness over hobbies that INCLUDES obvliousness to people... a lot of gulls are hyper-aware of people and focused on them to the detriment of our hobbies, even or especially if we do not know how to interact. like this anon:

>>9327654
>>tell a lot of good jokes, make people laugh
>>one joke doesn't land

good old fashioned social anxiety and insecurity, not necessarily ASD

I don't really wanna say but I'd be surprised if you knew. Don't think anyone I know uses /cgl/

TFW when your friends with the people who were on "my life is anime" and they are nothing but cringy, annoying and were embarrassing on national tv, and even worse when you know that they are exactly as they were portrayed in the show

Who's colouring chan?

Been friends with person for over 10 years, absolute embarrassment. Totally lives in their own head, constantly doing stupid dangerous shit. The kind of person to think they could fend someone off with a fucking katana <which they have several of>, has zero responsibilities and has become a total neet. They're constantly making up physical and mental illnesses they seemingly have, always bringing it up in conversation

I don't know why but the second friend, while she's usually very nice and all, is really a tryhard sometimes. She won't stop talking about how she likes super manly and muscular men and men who aren't manly are worthless, how women who aren't tomboys like her are boring, etc.

>>9327985
She's nice and all that, but no, she can't do something as simple as that. I'll never see that band again and the only souvenir I have is a photo with more than half of the picture showing some random woman's greasy face. Fuck.

>got into a hotel bed with her shoes on
>refused to take a shower
>wah wah wah, over shit that's her fault anyway

What a disrespectful sack of shit. Should have kicked her out of the car 1/3 of the way home for laughs.

>>9328311

Wasted an hour of my time scouring the archive but here's the lot of it. Latest updates at the bottom. Colouring is a convention staffer.

>have friend from my highschool days
>we don't talk much but she's one of the few from that long ago that I have on facebook
>cosplay positivity, anyone can cosplay! "fat chicks cosplay too" type posts all over her feed
>posts her attempts at decora nails sometimes or gyaru inspired makeup
>posts pictures of her mediocre cosplays/makeup or wig tests that make me cringe
>iirc she's 27 or so this is all sandwhiched by talking about politics and her job as a teacher
>but she's having such a good time and I envy her naivete; I wish I could go back to the days where I was having fun even if I looked like shit
I can't bring myself to ruin her fun, even to offer concrit or steer her towards better materials. She's nice, and she doesn't deserve it, but it still takes all my willpower to not post her in the bad cosplay threads sometimes

>>9328334
Honestly whenever I see people like this I'm a little envious. She's enjoying herself and she has a "real" job/career, clearly not trying to make a career out of cosplay/makeup/etc (or at least I don't think she is from your post).

>>9328334
Yeah, I miss the days when I didn't care what I looked like and I was just excited to have fun and go to cons. I'm trying to recapture that feeling but it's tough

10/10 would go again

I had a friend who did the same thing to me. her name was C. C pretended like she knew Japanese, when it amounted to shouting kawaii desu na!!1!

like, this girl ate sushi for every meal and god help you if you ate rice with a fork. She would go fucking ape on your ass 'NO YOURE DISRESPECTING THE CULTURE!!!". Now, I am not someone who thinks white people can't appreciate other cultures. But this girl. Oh my god. She screamed at people who wore kimonos and all that. you like anime but don't want to learn japanese? She thinks you should neck yourself. So, I got tired of all of this, and I told her about my grandfather, who is japanese. And you want to know how hard this girl did a 180? Even the whole "my friend is japanese!" angle (even though I am the whitest person you have ever met).

I apparently also need to be appreciating my own culture, and learn about where I come from (which is Ironic, considering I speak German fluently due to my dad literally being fucking german) she says that I shouldn't embrace being white, because being white is the worst thing ever. She's fallen down the SJW rabbit hole, and I really want to cut ties with her, so I started to drift away. but she keeps coming back. She messages me "look at this asian culture festival GO WITH ME AND BE MY ASIAN BF" and she won't stop saying she's my 'perfect little geisha wife' it's starting to get creepy

TL;DR A friend is obsessed with me having an asian grandfather and won't leave me alone

>>9328353
10/10 good troll anon.

>favorite mango

>>9328382
Tell her to stop appropriating your culture.

>>9328485
Holy fucking shit how did I not think of this

I am so going to say that to her

>brought a friend along to a con cause fav VA was there
>not only did I have to spend half the one day I could go doing errands cause she forgot half her things at her house when she left
>but once we got to the VA she acted completely infantile
>not omg I'm a fan shy, but complete mumbling, baby talking and like she was 6 years old
>entirely certain the poor VA thought she was mentally incompetent and I was her caretaker.
>once that was done she whined the 2 hours we stayed about being overwhelmed and being completely done
>ended up leaving way earlier than I wanted

I dunno if I'm just salty but it really bothered me how she did the whole interaction bit. I felt like I was there to make her life easier too. I have other stories on her but that's the one that made me really consider wanting out of the friendship

I have this friend who is way too good for everyone, taking care of all those that look lonely, depressed and gets involved into bitch fights trying to solve their problem, while becoming totally drained and sad herself in the end. I might be a cunt for saying this but she should not ruin her and my day by keeping angsty teens around incase they might get a panic attack.

>>9328316
We didn't talk to her for quite a while after. She's one of those people where going to a con turns her into a cunt but outside of that she's more reasonable. She's gotten better since that con though. If she can't afford to come out to the movies and that she'll straight up say she can't come. Our sick friend is the nicest person on earth so seeing her snap for the first and only time ever was a real shock for all of us, especially broke friend. I think she's afraid of her now.

>>9328353
>"oh hey, spirited away was my favorite mango."
kek, but seriously, why was she so salty.

>>9329387
I think my Northface pissed her off, but in all seriousness I think it's that whole thing where weeabs constantly talk shit about basic girls because they're normies. I used to be like that back in middle school, I had blue hair, wore stupid shit, and was always talking shit about how it must suck to be ~normies~. Only in the past few years did it hit me that I'm allowed to like things that are considered mainstream like Ugg looking boots, Starbucks, holo, and those fluffy keychains while still enjoying nerd culture/CGL stuff/things that genuinely interest me. I had only hated that stuff because girls who I perceived as bitchy (but never bothered to get to know them) wore it or liked it, so I felt like I was supposed to hate them. And if I didn't hate them then I would be made fun of for being like them.
So whenever I see someone who is like L I try to be patient with them, I feel it's just an immaturity thing that most people grow out of. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>9329469
Well she's right, nobody would notice, and if they did they wouldn't really care. People break and steal those glasses all the time.

Source: I work at a hotel that's affiliated with a big con

My biggest pet peeve is poor con friends who only want to eat McDonalds or Taco Bell as opposed to KBBQ, etc. my favorite was when a group of friends were complaining about how poor they were and how they could only afford McDonald's, so we drop them off at McDonald's and go to get gas. On the way we see an ice cream place so we grab ice cream. We get back and they're like "awwee I want ice cream too!!1 why'd you get it without us!", so they persuade us to go to this expensive ice cream place again and suddenly they have more than enough money to spare. If you're going to travel don't you want to experience some of the cool things? I don't get it.

>>9329398
I get what you mean, I was surrounded by girls like that in high school because I was in a class that was studying Japanese, I had to pretend I was a weaboo to not be treated like a total outsider and weirdo, it was weird as fuck.

Dude's just a massive dick sometimes,. even though I know he isn't intentionally trying to bully anyone. He's lucky he's a really fun guy to be around or he'd be hated by absolutely everyone.

The only time I ever laughed at a cosplay (hearty giggle, not loud laughter like my autistic buddy) was when a fat 20-something took to the stage in a cheap-as-chips Naruto get-up and started failing spectacularly doing tricks with a string attached to a prop kunai. But that guy kinda had it coming. And I also take solace that I wasn't the only one who just fucking couldn't and lost it.

She went 2 cons last year just to stalk this man. At each con, she was a roadie. Handed out flyers all con long at both and got jealous when the band called our friend T pretty. Her plan is to save up for a car so she can become a official roadie and stalk him all over the U.S.

>>9330223
No. She has fewer than five damn teeth.

It will be very painful.

>>9330389
op here.
They have issues with fatigue, chronic pain, hip instability and probably some other minor shit. they can walk without all the equipment, so i think they're using it as an excuse to be lazy.

>>9330451
Wrong thread?

>>9330435
I have a friend that supposedly has issues with their feet but it conveniently only comes up at cons so they can get themselves a disabled badge and have first dibs on the elevators. Made no mention of feet or leg problems when we spent a whole day walking around the city.

>>9330383
In the ballpit?

>>9328302
I always found NEETdom interesting in that they can survive without doing anything. It sounds nice if the option is available.

>>9330507
This time the balls were in HER.

>>9330435
I know your pain, anon. I have a friend who is just like that, they can walk just fine but if we go out and about they HAVE to bring their cane with them. It's so fucking embarrassing, they have all these illnesses that you can't prove and they're the same age as your friend

>>9330573
I know people like that. then again, my mom can walk fine too but she takes her cane with her when she goes out anyway, because she doesn't know if her knee is gonna crap out in the middle of getting groceries or whatever. she'd rather carry it around and not need it than need it and not have it.

>>9330462
that does sound suspicious. I'm guessing they probably get away with it because with a lot of less visible disabilities, it's possible to have good days and bad days. but then if that's the case, you still have to be careful on your good days as well or you end up paying for it the day after. but it's easy to get carried away and ignore the pain if you're having a good time. so I could see someone being legit disabled and looking like they're faking because of that.

then again, some people are just fakers.

Dude goes to a con that has grass and a small park, brings his helper dogs. Then they go shit en piss everywhere near the entrance of the con. I saw where they shit, never going near that tree again.
The fuck raise your dogs or clean up their poo, mine even poops on command.

>>9330703
You sound like a good person who tries to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I think these cases are either fakers or people over exaggerating to the extreme for attention.

>>9327606
The fact that you have any awareness of this at all means you probably aren't as annoying as you think. A good way to engage in conversation without talking about yourself is to ask lots of questions, really listen to their answers and be interested in them.
People love talking about themselves and will like you more if you seem genuinely interested in them.

>>9328073

You didn't try to fuck them both?

Bless you for saying things like this. I have several legit things happening with me atm that don't have one set "illness" all my cosplay friends think I'm making shit up and that I actually don't have anything wrong and it upsets me to no end because I am trying to be normal but can't. I've stopped even telling my friends how I'm doing because like the asshole above make me seem like I am some hypochondriac vs any sort of support.

>one friend thinks at cons it's acceptable to yell randumb things and memes all weekend
>not to anyone in particular, just projection to anyone able to hear
>doesn't do this otherwise
Why. Sometimes it's when I'm trying to put in dinner orders over the phone or listening to my GPS too. I tell her to stop every time but she thinks I'm messing around.

>>9328213
Does she have a Effie cosplay?

>>9332343
I mean... you can just get it checked out by a doctor, and if it's undiagnosable you still get a whole lot of names thrown at you of diseases or disease families so to say to use.

Unless you got it checked out and confirmed by a prof nobody is buying you limp-dicked bullshit though. :^)

>>9332442
Its not quite that easy. They treat symptoms but never give full diagnosis and you never get 100% better. At least that's how it's been for me. Sometimes finding a true diagnosis takes years of symptoms until they match up especially if you have several different things that are all very serious. You dont really get to say someone is faking it if you dint know all the facts and chances are most Ppl aren't like Misa on wheels and all that throwing around their shit. Most of us who deal with it don't want to upset our friends or make them feel pity for us and we push ourselves to act happy and act normal. Call me limp dicked if you want.

>>9332452
>they never give full diagnosis

If it's a purely speculative disease, or something existing in between several diseases then sure... but you'd still get some complicated names to throw at your pals. In most cases that should suffice, I mean there's something legit wrong with you right?
Not just a case of the a-bloo-bloo's? I mean, if it's all very serious as you said, then once again; there are over encompassing terms to use for that.

If people are thinking you're making up shit there's usually something not checking out.

>>9330380

I'm like >>9332452
in that i've got health issues and shit friends.
Many doctors dont like to put a name to things if its something uncommon or weird. It took me 5 years of active fighting with doctors to diagnose me with fibromiyalgia and CFS, and i'm still fighting to get things figured out.

Many people just dont get any sort of health issue. Depression? stop being sad. Anxiety? calm down. chronic fatigue? Sleep normal hours. Widespread nerve pain? Take an asprin and get over it.

>>9332549
Thank you that poster above is uninformed and doesn't realize how things work because they haven't lived it. I Def have four or five active symptoms and none of them line up so they treat each one individually and sometimes like my joint pain they don't want to say it's arthritis but gives me meds anyway

>>9329145
>friend that knows his limit too damn well, hits it at noon, and maintains that level all weekend until he intentionally wrecks his own ass with tequila Saturday night

>>9332549
>Fibromyalgia
Getting this diagnosis is only hindering, not helpful. It's only diagnosed when they can't give you a real answer, it's not even a condition in the true medical sense, all it says is that you have a bunch of possibly completely unrelated symptoms that they can't actually pin to anything else. Pretty sure a bunch of doctors also use it as note code for malingerers too.

>>9332438
I don't see what makes you think I'm a tumblrina in this post. I guess you never had to deal with someone like her before. I don't get why she goes to anime cons if she dislikes most things that are in anime cons either. And she doesn't just dislike gay tv shows, just anything gay and not manly in general, including real people, I think that's a valid complaint.

>>9331911
I can't because we have a lot of mutual friends. I already don't see her all that much nowadays anyway, now that we're in different colleges.

>>9332761
Man, I don't know. Maybe she likes hanging out with you guys? You just came across real salty to me, like one of those N33T's who complained that his/her was being riddled with fucking normies.

Which meant he was called out on behaving like an annoying sperg, and then blamed the rest of the world for it.

I mean, I dislike gay shit too. I'm a guy from a conservative background, gay things make uncomfortable as fuck. And openly engaging in sexually tinted stuff is something I look down at.

>>9328153
At the time we were not very assertive, we didn't want her to be upset. Now I tell H to suck it up and deal with it.

>that friend who drinks one can of beer and then is yelling with a stool on his head and eventually falls asleep.

>>9332764
I'm not saying anyone is or isn't like this but being in public with any issue is scary and maybe they are playing it up for attention but it doesn't necessarily mean they are faking it entirely.

So anyway let's get back to stories

In the end, I cut my time at the con short and left several hours early. It sucked because I had to drive 3 hours back home with him and explain to him how his impulsive behavior got him in that situation.

Like I'm all for joking in character or whatever sometimes. But literally ALL WEEKEND. And I could see that a ton of the cosplayers he did this at were really uncomfortable. I tried to have a conversation with one of them, and he pretty much yelled character quotes over me the entire time. They're people, not characters.

Man it was really frustrating, and I did feel bad because for a bit I thought I was being uptight, but after seeing how uncomfortable it was making like 90% of the people he walked up to, I was like...nah. He needs to tone it down. Also, added bonus: trying to bancho walk the entire time and silently going up behind people with his arms crossed until they noticed him. Just. Everything was a mistake.

>>9333877
At least he's not my local con's L. I started in 2012 and there's this guy who vomes ever. single. year dressed as L with the same trash wig, same make up, same everything. Walks around hunched over, always silent, never talks to anyone, and may your god have mercy if you make eye contact. He's walked up to people, invaded their space bubble, and just stared before walking away.

I've only seen him using his phone once, and even still he was doing L's hunched in sit.

I didn't say anything since they were freshmen but this continued on for a good two years. Not sure if they fully calmed down, but I know at some point they hated the guts of the "SPEEN" girl.

>>9334181
When I was a senior, we started an anime club (so that we could watch Akira) and a shit ton of freshman showed up and complained it was too violent. one started crying because it was 'too innoproprate' and her parents were going to kill her for watching something so violent. We got kicked out of our own fucking movie club by freshman. We went back right before we graduated, and they were watching my little pony.

Anime cons are places where you can buy and sell any sort of 2D debauchery you're into. It's immature to knowingly go to a place that sells adult things and then complain when you see them.

>Ignore them and spend most of journey back in silence

The key thing I want to point out is that they constantly complain about being poor however they spend every bit of money they get on rare anime figurines and custom anime prints, they also bought a large amount of merch at the con. I don't understand how their minds work but I later discovered one of them is fictionkin.

I don't go to cons with them anymore.

Dude, you are getting shafted hard.

Take this from a person who has been there before, stop organizing their rides and paying for their shit. Don't rely on them to share the cost of a hotel room - find other, reliable people or pay for your own so if they freak out about transport it's their problem.

I used to be the kind of friend that would pick up the tab if someone didn't realize how much they'd spent, or pay for that extra movie ticket, or con pass and such. The people I spent time with (as much as I enjoyed their company when they weren't mooching) got so used to and comfortable with me keeping their arses covered that they started pulling the kind of shit your friends are.

Just stop enabling them.

Yeah, as someone who has a lifelong, chronic and ultimately fatal condition that flares up and down, fuck people that make assumptions like that.

Yeah, there are fakers out there, but if it's sincerely making you uncomfortable or bothering you then just don't hang out with disabled-chan. You're less of an asshole by dropping the friendship than bitching about her needs behind her back desu.

It's such a non-diagnosis. I feel like it's a way for docs to go "welp. It's incurable. Nothing we can do. Off you trot"

Its like, ok than you for figuring out what the problem is, now can you fix it? Nah, you say? I dont deal with chronic pain patients, you say? Then what the fuck am i doing here?

My friend is always whining about not having enough money for lolita. But she is always wasting her money eating out, drinking, and doing drugs. Honestly I wish she would get out of the fashion. Unsurprisingly she is pretty ita too.

>>9335882
one of my classmates is kinda into j-fash/mori-ish styles and I was very hyped about getting to talk to her about it, do two-person orders off taobao and ali etc until I realised she's a druggie and has 0 money for anything
back to being lonely it is

Realizing you might be "that guy" means you probably aren't as much of a "that guy" as you think! Try to watch body language more. Do people start to look away from the group? Maybe time to change topic. Did someone try to add something but get cut off? Maybe stop yourself and ask them to repeat.

>>9327654
Most people will completely forget a bad joke as soon as you tell the next good one. Keep at it, and try to never repeat the same joke twice with the same group of people even if it's good. There is an exponential decay in humour with every subsequent use.

Same. I considered myself more of a libertarian a few years ago but more conservative now. I'm not gonna go all 14/88 or anything, I love freedom and muh guns, but fascism looks pretty good when you've got a bunch of rude cunts advocating for violence against people who say certain things and nothing else. I just roll with it when people call me a Nazi now.

I got us out of there fast because he was just starting to rant and I thought it might become more of a scene.

I told Swole Revan and he was laughing pretty hard, making cuck jokes. I don't know if the exact word 'cuck' was ever used but it's the first time I'd heard it used outside of a history textbook.

This sounds exactly like a friend of mine, except instead of ita lolita and Harley Quinn she always wears godawful costumes that are supposed to represent her original character (donut steel), who is a beautiful, skinny 14-year old magical girl/Mary Sue. She herself is morbidly obese and turns 32 this year.
Wonderful person most of the time, but more likely than not features in at least one con horror story. As soon as she gets to a con, the concept of indoor voices and personal space flies out the window.

There's a girl just like this in my comm except she's doesn't even need to be drunk to be incredibly loud and obnoxious. In fact, she apparently hates alcohol, and even having a chocolate praline with cherry liqueur near her on the table at a high tea sets her off to start screaming about how much she hates alcohol and how people who do drink are stupid normies who aren't worthy of being around her. I'm not much of a drinker myself but sitting next to her when she's yelling about who knows what makes me want to down a bottle or two myself.

.... All of this said, guys, I DO think it's important to stand up for right.

Like apparently fibro is indeed code for something that they believe only exists in the mind of malingerers and munchausen types.

>>9337023
if you're still there.

cuck almost always is used in the sense of cuckoldry fetishism, but lately it has started to gain mass appeal as a blanket insult.

Sometimes people are called cuck when they allow or tolerate something that is not supposed to be tolerable according to the person uttering the insult. E.g. your romantic partner cheats on you, but then regrets it and comes back to you crying, and you accept them back. It can also be euphemistically used non-sexually. Like when you accept a store's shitty deal because you can't find an alternative. In this sense cuck is more like 'grow a spine'.

Other times they are called cuck because it's becoming a shock value blanket insult. Like the way 'gay' was being used but it's losing popularity because once you over-use an insult it takes the edge off.

Polite cuck sage.

Cuck means cuckold. It's just that the Internet, /pol/ in particular, uses it as a generic insult, usually with the connotations that the person has no self-respect and an emphasis on "race traitorism" or liberalism

>every attempt at me supporting her in actually wearing it ends in excuses
>"my parent's wont let me!" (she is 26)
>"its too expensive!" as I send her links for burando sales, full coord packs, Taobabo resellrs with actual nice cheap dresses
>"its too small" I'm plus size and too and i offer links upon links of fitting dresses
>wears skater dress and tries to call it lolita
>glomps me
>touches my dresses non stop
>poses super close next to me every time people ask me for a photo of my outfit
>wants to go to all the meet ups while wearing normal clothes, so I have to keep making excuses to have her not go


I used to think that I could help her become the lolita she always wanted to be, but I'm starting to realize it will never happen, and even if she got a dress I would be completely ashamed of taking her to a meetup with me.

It's posts like these that make me wish I had friends. I know they're all kinda 'horror stories' but it'd be nice to have moments like these.

The picky friend who only eats from certain places and needs a special late-night adventure from the hotel to some obscure place to get food. The crazy friend who terrorizes some poor Japanese guest with their intense fandom. The 'cosplay anything' friend who doesn't give a shit and will cause untold commotion to event staff with a hugely impractical prop or costume.

Standing in line at someplace you never wanted to be making jokes about something or seeing some crazy shit while a friend waits for an meet and greet. Missing the last train home and being stuck out somewhere because a friend lost their ticket. Hearing everyone's crazy views and opinions and stories at inappropriate times.

It all sounds so golden. I wish I had friends.

>>9337469
Why don't you?

>>9337479

I dunno, maybe I don't make a good impression or something. I'm usually a really extroverted person but when I meet cosplayers I get really scared.

I can speak to any random person on the street without any issue, I'm socially fearless, but when it comes to cosplay it's the total opposite - I'm intimidated because I know they're potential friends, it's like a terrifying job interview or something. I'm a cosplayer myself, but I always feel like I'm gonna be rejected for some reason - maybe my costume won't be perfect or I'll offend someone or something.

I know it sounds silly but while I find girls easier to talk to, I'm terrified of them thinking I'm a creeper or something which is ridic because I'm gay anyway. I don't even look creepy, I look like a 14 year old weeb.

I would say maybe I come across as standoffish or unapproachable in attitude but I have no problem with people coming up to me and talking to me outside of cons so I dunno.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

>>9337513

Oh er, I feel awkward asking this but if anyone has any advice for me it'd be appreciated.

>Go up to someone or people
>Make conversation/some kind of joke or something
>They laugh and respond, SOCIAL INTERACTION SUCCESS
>Awkward silence is on the horizon, time to vanish into the crowd ASAP

I feel like I don't know how to go from social icebreaker to 'please be my bff'. I'd feel too desperate asking them if I can tag along with them, especially if it's just one person because it'd sound like a bad pickup line. Is it actually fine to say that and I just need to get over it, or is it actually kinda desperate and I should take a more subtle approach somehow?

>>9337776
No, I think asking someone if they wanna tag along to check out a booth you both want to go to is fine. That's pretty normal I think, if the interaction is going well at least. Don't be afraid to ask and don't be devastated if someone passes on the offer. Be strong, anon.

>>9337779
>don't be devastated if someone passes on the offer

Oh my gosh, that really would be terrible.

I did a thing before actually called rejection therapy, which is from a famous TED talk where you basically put yourself in a situation to be turned down and you remove your fear of people rejecting you. It's not related to dating and stuff, it's just for doing things that would normally be difficult, like asking people on the street for interviews and stuff.

But being turned down at an attempt to make a friend would be devastating, it's like being rejected on a deeper level.

This'll make me sound so bad, but I've even had successful interactions that have gone worse.

>Have a successful interaction with cosplay group from the same series, they're really cool
>Dash off quickly before things can go wrong
>Decide it was a stupid idea and try to find them so I can 'casually' bump into them again
>Find them, they were looking for me too
>RUN AWAY AGAIN BECAUSE I'M GONNA FUCK IT UP

I must have something wrong with me, this doesn't happen to normal people.

>>9337788
Don't think of it as a rejection to be friends! Some people might be on a massive time crunch, have a large group they don't want to lose, and people probably feel your same anxiety about screwing up a social interaction!

>>9337450

Thanks anon, though I'm not sure if I'd be able to reassure myself with that at the time.

Can I ask you (and anybody else ITT) a question? If you currently have friends you've met at a con, how did you go from first meeting them to being friends? I'm thinking I should take the well worn path.

>>9338187
The friends I made at cons it was just bumping into them a few times at the con, striking up a conversation, realizing we had a lot in common, walking around together, meeting up the next day, and after finding each other on social media the people I've met have become good friends. Always a bonus when the person you befriend has a group of friends that you can vibe well with.
I think it's bumping into someone that's way to talk to that you have a lot in common and then a little bit of luck.

>>9337818
Oh man you JUST missed lucky pack season, but there are still some floating around.

>http://angelicpretty-usa.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89&products_id=13149

This AP pack is the last I could find but sometimes people resell happy packs on Lacemarket

>>9338187
I usually end up asking if they have a twitter or some other social media I can find them on, and then just actively like/comment on some of their stuff that I find interesting. If they reply back and comment on your stuff as well, you can ask them if they're going to the same cons as you and if they'd like to meet up. If things go well you can share actual contact information and talk more outside of cons and social media too. A nice rule of thumb is to talk to them when you have some reason to do so, for example ask them about future cosplay/con plans or discuss something they've posted in more depth, the regular "how are you" can end up super awkward if you can't figure out how to continue from there, so keep that in mind.
A lot of people are happy when someone pays attention to them, especially if it's obvious that they want to be friends. Just keep in mind to give them some space too, it's perfectly normal to go a couple of weeks or more without having a proper converstation.

If the two of you click, you'll eventually get closer. Just keep in mind that turning from strangers to bff's doesn't happen immidiately, so be patient and don't try to force it.

I have a friend is is a total Japanophile/weeaboo and quite elitist about it. She has studied the language at university, has lived there for a year and has made many other shorter trips, is obsessed with tea ceremonies and other more traditional cultural aspects of Japan, and even more obsessed with kimono. However she's too fat to wear genuine Japanese kimono, so she makes them herself. Out of cheap quilting cotton. Stiff, see-through novelty quilting cotton with Santa or superheroes on it. She then wears these kimono to the mall and gets upset when people stare at her.
I love her, but I desperately want to take away her Joann's privileges.

>>9338379

Eh, that's kind of a problem too. I have no facebook or twitter - just tumblr. I feel like somehow that de-legitimizes my identity somehow, as though I'm more creepy for not having one. I tried a few times but it kept being found by people and now I really really don't want one.

>>9337788
Kek, anon where are you from? I'll be your friend.

>>9338748

The UK, sorry fampai

>>9338732
At least with twitter you can keep it private so that you can choose who follow you, so not everyone can see your tweets. And with tumblr having the new chat feature I'm sure that it works just as fine for communication these days as twitter and facebook do.
Also asking for Skype/Line/etc contact information is a lot less heavy than just asking their phone number out of the blue, so if social media is out of the question maybe try that?

>I must have something wrong with me, this doesn't happen to normal people.

No you don't, that's just social anxiety. You're not the only one.

Flip it around though, instead of asking if you can go with them, invite them to do something with you. In the end though, when people say no it doesn't mean THAT'S IT EVERYTHING'S DONE NO MORE INTERACTION. Sometimes it's just that they had something else to do. Sometimes they're private people and keep a tight circle due to anxiety (me). Sometimes they might just want to catch up later.

Don't shoot yourself down so soon. I know that's easier said than done, but I believe in you! And with practice you'll get better at feeling out social situations, but you gotta experience the good and the bad to understand them more easily.

>>9338187
>>9338208

Yeah don't underestimate social media. Sometimes you just serial add all the people you meet at a con, and gradually figure out through online interaction who you hit it off best with. I don't think any friend I've become close to was an instant good friend overnight, they all grew into better friends through several experiences.

The freelance gig I got after I interned at Viz. I had to letter a couple Naruto pages and had a lot of fun doing it, so took a test, was allowed into the letterer pool, and gradually was given enough series to do it as my fulltime job. I've been working on SJ titles for about ten years now, and know the SJ crew fairly well because of it (plus it probably helps I live close enough to the Viz offices that I visit regularly). Plus, the editor-in-chief is a really nice guy, so that's (probably?) why they let me tag along. I paid my way, of course, but TOTALLY WORTH EVERY CENT AND MORE.

I highly recommend the Viz internships to anyone looking for a job in the industry!

You didn't finish reading that post, did you?

Not the op but it irritates the shit out of me when people project their past experience with unwarranted advice, too

He's mostly harmless. He's a fat manlet that claims to have a weapon collection including katanas, and that he's fluent in Japanese, yet he refuses to speak a word of it to anyone

This is exactly why I just gave up on her. She has the resources if she wants to use them. Not my problem anymore.

I will still continue to be normal friends with her though.

I feel like there is an untapped Thomas Kinkade-like market for paintings of crying lolitas in full regalia.

Oh boy, is this the embarrassing yourself in front of talented people you admire thread now?

>>9340877
Relatable though, I live by myself except for some weekends I spend at my moms place and she still tells me not to dress like a man or get piercings (I'm 25)

I tend to get really nervous around good cosplayers and I thought I'd gotten better at socialising till I met a dredd cosplayer (movie not comic, must have been around 40 years old) finally gather the courage to ask for a picture, he accidentally drops his beer in his helmet, then shakes it and and wears it for the sake of the picture. Then I see him around a couple of times, and awkwardly smile.

>>9329489
FUCKING SAME. I'll be at a con with a group of friends, and at the end of the day we'll be looking to go to a bar or restaurant for dinner/night out, but one or two people in the group will shoot down all suggestions except fast food because they can't afford it, and we'll be excluding them if we pick anywhere else. That's part of the fun of conventions though, and if we're already paying to be there, taking off of work, buying shit, etc, we might as well include food and drink in the budget?

>>9341424
I've stopped letting people like that dictate where we're eating. You decided to spend all your money in the Dealer's Room? Fine, the rest of us will be going to a restaurant and you can eat McDonalds. It's not fair to the rest of the group and it's nobody's fault but their own

Not exactly embarrassing or annoying, but I feel like it's worthy.

I know that feeling so damn well, anon. You're better off.

Added the missing pieces in for you. This gal is a major train wreck.

>>9342012
>on the way there
Ow. And I can also assume that none of them made any attempts at contacting you either.

Now, being on 4chan everyone's only getting one side of the story. But this seems like something that would or should have reasoning on the other. Because this seemed rather intentional on their part.

>>9341280
he says he's not a weeaboo and has never watched an anime in his life though. I try my hardest to annoy him by shouting random Japanese phrases at his as he's "so fluent", and he gets so angry he starts shaking and muttering how he's going to kill me under his breath

and he's told me that he considers me a friend

help

>>9342079
I've seen friends do this shit. Then try to cover their asses with "But we called/texted you" when everyone knows they didn't.

It's usually because you've got something they need (Like a car) or they don't want to be friends anymore but "muh mental illnesses" means they're scared to say so.

>>9342146

playing a dangerous game there, anon
don't go crying to people if he legit attacks you one day

>>9342146
>agitating a large weeaboo on purpose
>fat manlet

Don't worry.

>>9342146
Haha top kek. Continue to shitpost irl. He is trying to hide is power level but his cover has been blown.
>Considers me a friend
Just follow my advise. RUN
>>9342178
Eh I shitpost on my SJW friend's posts. I know that the next time I meet her, I might get punched but it is worth the shitpost
ps:i know how to defend myself
Besides anon said he is a manlet what are the chances that he brings a katana to school?

>>9342188
I must also add, he CLAIMS to have a katana collection. This is also the same guy that claims he owns a £5000 gaming pc but is too lazy to go to the other side of his room to use it, and the same guy that claims he bought a helicopter for his cousin, and the same guy that said he has a girlfriend "but in another country" and that he "never talks to her" and is "thinking of breaking up with her". It's sad and I do feel bad that he feels like he has to lie about all that stuff, but I doubt he'll come and slice me in half with his supposed ninja skills

Instantly thought of this. Also that sounds unbearably awkward and I'm sorry for your experience.

Does he always talk about his Uncle? I swear every crazy liar like this that I've known has some amazing Uncle who does everything for them.

>"What did you do last weekend?"
>"Flew to San Diego in my Uncle's stuntplane"
>"Wow, even over the Atlantic? What did you do about fuel?"
>"We stopped off at oil rigs along the way, my Uncle knows a load of people there and they give us free refuels"

And yet somehow, no matter how extravagant the lies, nobody ever chooses to call these people out on it.

Oh and also his 'Uncle' was an avid street car racer with all these Fast and the Furious cars he raced and drifted around San Diego and personally knew Paul Walker and would tell these stories about how they had a grand time racing around America in Japanese import cars.

>>9342238
Ouch, people who claim that they are connected. Reminds me of the backstory on how Jlaw got her chinese nickname (roughly translates to big cousin)
Anyway continue what you are doing and/or be ready to run

>>9342340
>And yet somehow, no matter how extravagant the lies, nobody ever chooses to call these people out on it.

Honestly there's nothing you can say to argue against it, either they have more lies to throw on top of it or they just break down and call you a bully.

>>9329398
Ah man I feel you, esp. because I used to be much like that. I was never rude to anyone's face but I did certainly avoid people I didn't think were as "deep" as me. First I reveled in the fact that I did drawing and writing and liked real music, ROCK, not this rap and hip hop stuff! So deep! Then I went through a gamer grrrrl phase, then a "not like those other girls" phase and then I had this epiphany, gtfo'ed tumblr and just chilled out. I still joke around that I could never date a "normie" (I just love my husband so much and we're disgusting weebs together) but it honestly feels liberating to let everyone enjoy what they enjoy and not shame people for liking nerdy shit, or liking "basic normie" shit. That kind of attitude is definitely part of growing up, shame it took me that long.

Anyway, bless you and your 10/10 trolling, it's pretty great.

Not a con story, but cringy friend story.

>>9342079
Hey. Dude who posted that originally here. Honestly there should be another side of the story, a good reason why a group of friends I've known for 5+ years would do that.

There wasn't. Believe me, I asked.

You mean that biking group a few years back? Yeah they were assholes.
