There was a cosplayer that I really admired for their work and, lately, their work has been really lacking in my eyes and I'm starting to wonder if they just don't care anymore or if my standards have changed. I feel like I was a lot less critical when I first started and now I can't look at someone's cosplay without immediately picking up on the things that are wrong. I'm happy that I'm learning and getting better but the flipside is that I'm overly critical and it's much more stressful.

I don't know. I just miss how fun it used to be.

>Baby Paris is closing down

For real? Holy shit.

I'm glad I got to go the year they opened, but I'm sad that others won't get to experience it. I'm so sorry, anon. Perhaps you'll be able to visit Stateside or in Japan someday.

It really does seem like the glory days are over, and I know you're not the only one. I'm an oldfag taking a number of youngins under my wing, and it kind of sucks trying to explain inside jokes and lolita's history because they'll never be able to experience it themselves, and the way we share information is more micromanaged with social media.

I miss the relevancy of gothic brands, having films and musicians as part of the scene, and even logging into lj every day after school to see new posts. Those things made lolita feel like a real subculture. On the flipside, it's a lot easier to buy lolita now, and I'm no longer a teen pining for clothes out of my wallet's reach.

All I can hope for is that the "new" generation of lolitas/J-fashion kids will be able to make their own history and that people will still archive information as time goes on.

>>9357815
>amazing gf
Probably not, anon.

>>9357960
I feel like Baby Paris probably closed because they can't compete with Baby's online store, not because people aren't buying lolita.

>>9358084
Damn, this makes me feel really sad I got into lolita as late as I did. I do feel like there's no subculture component to speak of in the current lolita scene. I wish I had lolita friends too, but although my comm is friendly, it all feels very cliquey and they've all known each other for ages. I guess my age is partially to blame, I got into lolita at 17 in 2013 and couldn't imagine getting into it any earlier. I wish we could recapture this element of lolita somehow.

Feels good, still have a ways to go. And any fatty-chans who say they can't lose weight are morons, it's really not hard, you just need some discipline

>>9357960
I don't think so, anon. These things just happen on new mediums now. There's nothing to stop you from journalling on a LiveJournal or Tumblr, if you would like to, but most lolitas now will be networking through facebook, instagram and, in our case, Discord and Weibo.

I discovered that a lot of the girls in my comm who I just couldn't face up to when I was a shy, ita newbie are actually still meeting, but because they have fulltime jobs, kids and so on, they don't tend to hang around with the younger crew. I met them at a convention where the audience was more mature in general, and have had the pleasure of spending time with them since. What I will say though is it seems like less new, young people are attending meetups than they used to, and that is a little worrying.

Sad about Baby Paris and your trip though. Feels :c

Best of luck finding people your age who share your passion for lolita. x

>>9358238
I'm a skelly-chan (good eats, good exercise and a shitload of illnesses), but I got fat in college. Shit happens. However, it seemed easier for me to lose weight than some. I feel quite lucky that I could shed 30 lbs in a year when I know people who are still getting there 3 years on.

the last one is already kind of happening, because people assume things about my upbringing and my abilities due to my wardrobe. like, i'm bad and automatically mean because i dress okay-ish and i post coordinates from time to time. i wish people would talk to me instead of writing me off immediately.

How do you deal with comm members who are always Negative Nancies but never do anything bad enough to be kicked out?
We've got a few people who just aren't that well-liked by many of the members, and while some of them aren't disliked and people simply don't know them well enough to talk to them on a regular basis (for example some more shy/private members), others are really annoying and I wish someone would already kick them out.

There's one girl who never shuts up about her imaginary illnesses and always comes in a wheelchair even though she doesn't even need one, one Tumblrina who lectures everybody on everything and several chronic shit-stirrers who nitpick everything on other people, from clothes to physical features to behaviour and seem to have some sort of fetish for making fun of people's noses and weight. Which is ironic because one of them is a hideous landwhale and self-professed cowchan regular.

>>9358323
If they aren't well liked and you want to get rid of them just call them out on their bullshit, they'll hiss and scuttle back from whence they came

>>9358352
so stop being a coward. if you want a higher authority to settle the issues YOU have, that YOU believe others secretly have, you are just as obnoxious in your self-centered lazy passivity as the "negative nancies" you whine about.

learning to resolve social conflict is part of growing up. lolita isn't even that important, so consider your management of the situation a predictor of how you will handle conflict in more serious situations. (in your case, by comforting yourself in your cowardice by imagining everyone is secretly on your side and you simply cannot bear the consequences of risky action.)

I really want to get back into lolita, it used to be a really big part of my life back in the 00's but it got shoved onto the backburner due to college, career, moving out, etc.

The thing is that I feel so self-conscious that I'm too old for it now. I can finally afford all the shiny new pieces I want, no sweat, but I'm turning 28 this year and I feel like it's going to be awkward in a few years when I'm in my 30's and dressed like Alice in Wonderland

i have a laugh every time somebody calls themselves a brandwhore because most of the people i know who call themselves that only have like 10 brand pieces and are newer to the fashion

even better when somebody buys one brand piece and won't shut up about how much of a brandwhore they are

call me when you have 90+ dresses

>>9358522
have you missed prior discussions about this? you are fine. many of us had a late start or have been in the fashion for years. join us.

>>9358494
For the most part, the Western secondhand sales sites are jokes. It's really ridiculous that I can get shit that's in better condition for way way way cheaper from Japanese sellers on mercari/fril/y!ja even after factoring in SS fees and itnernational shipping charges.

Not that I haven't gotten good deals on LM, I definitely have. I just get good deals on japanese 2nd hand sites so much more frequently.

>>9358545

The sad part is even if I list things really low people still refuse to buy I don't really understand it.

>>9358238
I agree that if you really really want to lose weight and do your research properly, you will be able to, but it's not that was for everybody. For me, exercising more and just eating a little less worked perfectly fine. No matter what it was/is that I eat. I have a friend for example though who can only lose weight if they go extremely low-carb and basically almost gains a pound just from looking at a noodle. My friend does eat low-carb due to that, but I can somewhat understand if you just don't feel you're able to do that and rather say overweight.

I would give half of my wardrobe to get back there but there is no way... sure i could do a bad payed job as a casheer but why? Is this the only oportunity?

>>9358547
Well same, for the most part. It takes me a really long time to sell things even if they're priced very reasonably. But if you look, the same goes for a lot of Japanese sellers, even if their items are priced supe reasonably. Like another anon said... it's a buyer's market.

Patience, anon! Someone will buy it eventually. does your stuff at least have a few favorites?

I'd really like to thot around unrestrainedly with other women at cons, but it's really hard to work out who's actually gay and who's just a tumblr edgelord. Put that together with the bitchiness among women in the con scene, and it's pretty hard to get laid casually as a dyke. I often wonder what it's like getting laid at cons as a guy.

>>9358685
Are you me? Someone needs to develop a competent equivalent of grindr for dykes already

>>9358685
Hmu

I feel like I'm suddenly going to get disinterested in the fashion and will get down over the fact that I just spent way too much money over the past year getting back into the fashion only to have come back for a year or two.

I also think I may have an addiction to buying Lolita related items as I check LM and Closet Child and Wunderwelt every day for new items; I haven't played a video game in a very long time and I'm scared I'm just going through one of my weird "flavour of the month" phases I go through. It happens with video games.

This also leads me to wondering about whether I have a personality disorder or some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder.

Paranoia is a wonderful thing /s

Impossible, any semi-anonymous w4w dating or hookup platform will be infiltrated by men with a rapist mentality who can't accept that some women just do not fucking want their dick. That's the issue, it's not a technical problem. Tbh the best possible option would be some way of lesbians stealthing each other out on Grindr, because straight men aren't likely to risk the homo cooties on there. But then that would be irritating to the gay guys it was made for. Oh well.

>>9358352
How much leverage do these shit stirrers actually have if nobody really likes them? Have you tried asking some neutrals how they feel about the negativity without calling out individual nancies?

aw. she used to be my idol when i was about 14 and first got into lolita. i had a locket with her face in it, lmfaoooo.

>>9358545
Really? Cuz I've been selling my stuff for less than what I paid on Japanese sites and it still takes a long time to sell.

>>9358880
Is the stuff you're trying to sell older? Because if you bought it when it was trendy and are trying to sell it when it's out of style that can explain why nobody wants it anymore.

>>9358698
I was recently diagnosed with OCD by a therapist I started visiting to help me cope with some anxiety I started experiencing late last year. It definitely helped explain my random, fleeting fixations that I have with things, Lolita being one of them.

I'm not a professional, but maybe it would be worth just talking to someone and seeing if they think you have something more going on. I really related to your post, so I wonder if maybe you're onto something.

As far as feeling guilty about spending money, I've started recognizing when my fixations are taking over, and really make myself think about whether I'll feel like I will have the same "need" for a dress in two weeks .

>>9358847
This. It was when she came to Russia iirc and the girls made her a book together and she was so touched she started tearing up. That's super cute and that gives us a golden reaction image.

I try to limit it when it gets really bad, although it does often stop me from doing stuff like eating out. I don't have a lot of money, nor am I earning a lot, but I'm saving for an expensive thing I need. that's where the problem stems from.

I bought two second hand dresses from ebay the other day that I'd had my eye on for months. They were only about 30 pounds together but it was hard, lol. I had to remind myself people blast through more than that on shit like a normal top or skirt.

the chemical rush is addicting. wean yourself off of it. think of compliments like caffeine: pretty cool in moderation, but if you indulge too much you will develop a tolerance and need more and more for the same effect. and withdrawal is a bitch once you are addicted.

I don't understand this at all. What's the point of having money if you're not going to spend it?

>>9359131
I never said it was rational. Like I said, I don't have much, don't earn a lot, and Im having to save for something large right now. I spend money here and there because it'd be shit to not get anything new for months.

>>9359131
I know I'm terrified of some sort of life disaster happening because of financial shit when I was a kid, so I'm paranoid about spending money too

>>9359150
I also had financial shit happen as a kid but I guess it made me think exactly the opposite. Basically my parents were well off and did everything they were supposed to do and had a lot of money saved up. Welp when disaster struck the savings disappeared after about 9 months and we were left broke as a family anyway, but we made it. We'd have made it if we hadn't had any savings at all, actually. So why bother to have more than a minimal amount of savings? Spend that money on fun stuff. YOLO. You'll be okay if disaster strikes. My parents wish they'd just spent their savings on fun.

Yeah, the social aspect of Lolita is pretty dead but that doesn't mean that lolita itself is dead.

Like, I've always been a lone lolita so not being able to meet-up or etc never bothered me. Same with posting online. But I will say that having to option to would be nice again.

Is it me, or does it seem like "nerd club culture" fading? Like even online it seems like it harder to find topic about nerd shit without it being entry level

>>9358224
Poor people are way worst than fatty-chans

>>9358092
People are not buying either in Paris store, neither at the online store. The online store is now only staffed by one person that works only a few days a week and even then she has tons of free time. I think lolita is not doing good in general. Brands, including AP that was like the queen of the brands, have been forced to dow size production because stuff is just not selling. Chinese lolitas are turning more and more into high end non lolita brands... Maybe it is the beginning of the end.

Me and my husband had to move cross country for a job.
It seems like the cosplay community here in our new area is about 7 years behind what I experienced in the Mid West. I know some here in the US consider the mid west con and cosplay scene to be shit, but there are some gems there. At least I had friends there and knew photographers that were capable of giving me what I wanted.
But the com here just seems so bad. There are about two photographers around and I haven't been super impressed with any of their work.
I only had to drive about 2.5-3 hours at the most to be at some of my favorite conventions and have access to decent areas and photographers. It seems like I'm going to have to drive 7-12 hours now to get to any decent convention/location.
God this place even makes me miss even some of the shittier conventions the Midwest had.
Cgl has been the only place I can go now to have real discussions and ask/answer questions about cosplay and craftsmanship without feeling I have to sensor everything I say. Thankful for the fellow seagulls here.

>>9359362
But it's weird to have pictures like that on your public profile. My rule of thumb is if you wouldn't want your family/employer to see it, you shouldn't make it publicly viewable. It's a red flag to me that the person doesn't know how to behave socially.

>>9359372
Yeah. He's doing ahegao in all of his pics.

>>9359326
>think I feel ashamed too quickly

Same, I want more followers but the quickest way to do that is to use loads of random hashtags but I think that looks tacky as fuck

I finally went and got colour matched for foundation and it's made such a difference.

It's not even that big a deal but I've always felt like makeup aged me, and my face was orange and my neck was white. The staff selling the product did a full makeup on me at the counter and when she held the mirror up I almost cried. I'm not an ugly girl, but I never thought I could be beautiful.

>>9359425
Srsly? I take it back, he's a creep

>>9359326
Not that person, but I think the getting likes/compliments is good quality photos, decent styling (not necessary if you're thin/conventionally attractive), and consistent material. Not all photos need to look the same have exactly the same feel, but if you are trying to build a lolita following it's good to post lolita related things. People tend to click follow if they click on your profile and see lots of similar material, so no blurry random shots from everyday life. Food is okay, cute animals are okay, maybe some gaming or generally kawaii shit, but keep it simple and curated. If you have a decent follower base, you don't need to use tags all that much. It's also a lot easier to make friends and talk to people on Instagram than tumblr, so if you leave comments of people's pictures they might follow you back if they like the same stuff.

Huh, I've seen a variety of Taobao brand stuff and none of it looked as good as in the photos and generally just kind of cheap. Except for that Cats Astronomer series, that is actually super cute.
Brand can look like crap too (looking especially at you, meta) but overall there is still a difference in quality.

Also me. I'd like to reach out to more people but tagging more than three things makes me feel desperate. Taking cutesy selfies makes me feel like a tool, too. How do I master attentionwhoring in a way that at least looks casual to the outside world? Is that even possible?

>tfw when your idiot friends won't stop buying counterfeit makeup

>>9360092
>counterfeit makeup
I didn't even know there was a market for such a thing.

>>9360095
It's a somewhat large market, though mainly restricted to Aliexpress, Ebay and similar sites. It's a bit of a twin headed issue since it's both a counterfeit goods issue, which affects the brands, and a "China doesn't regulate anything" issue, which means that the counterfeit products can contain a bunch of stuff you don't really want to have on your face.

https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/counterfeit-cosmetics-fragrances

>>9360095
It's a huge problem, unfortunately. And it's an insidious problem, too. Most of the fake makeup doesn't contain anything that will straight up harm you outright, but rather lots of cancer causing bullshit that's gonna fuck with people decades down the road. If it at least gave people contact dermatitis, then motherfuckers wouldn't keep on using it.

Literally though, never ever buy makeup from aliexpress and be cautious as hell buying makeup from ebay or amazon or really just anywhere that isn't the brand's official site/sephora/ulta/etc.

>>9359900
If you live in the middle of nowhere, it might be a bit far, but in most larger department stores, there will be make-up counters for different brands. Just go to one that looks good and ask them for assistance.
Another good place would be smaller stores for make up and perfumes, not a drugstore, but those that sell medium price range to high end. They often have counters as well.

So happy for you, anon. Go live the dream for the rest of us.

This is OT and I'm sorry, I just need to get this out. I am also running on two hours of sleep so bear with me.

So last August I adopted two cats who were thirteen years old (now fourteen) and sisters. Their names are Jackie and Annie. I adopted them knowing that I wouldn't have many years with them, and that was okay. I couldn't let them go to a shelter where they when be euthanized. I spoil them rotten.

Annie likes to mostly lay around, but Jackie likes to move and constantly make noises and demand attention. Well, yesterday I noticed that Jackie was very lethargic and she didn't touch her dinner. Which are two things that Jackie doesn't ever do. So I took her to the ER, stayed there all night while she got tested (they had difficulty finding her heartbeat because she couldn't stop purring and begging for pets). And I found out that she has chronic kidney failure.

The ER bill was getting outrageous, so we transferred over to a non-emergency animal hospital. We left her around an hour ago.

I'm a mess right now. I can't eat, I'm making myself drink water because I haven't had water in more than twelve hours. I just can't stop crying. When I got back to the ER and tried to sleep, my boyfriend started to cry. I know I made the right decision of sending her to a vet, but I feel so guilty about leaving her there. I really want to be there.

It isn't looking too good, there is still a chance of recovery- I won't find out until Sunday. The vet is going to call every morning and night until then.

Until this happened, I didn't realize how attached I actually am to these cats. I struggled so hard leaving the vet clinic.

I just want at least a year with them- PLEASE just let me have a year with them. And my two cats have been with each other their entire life, if Jackie passes then we won't have a choice really. We'd have to adopt a cat because Annie will need another cat. And I love kittens so much- but I don't want a kitten, I want my Jackie.

>>9360271
got back from the ER***

>>9360271
I hope she makes a good recovery over the next time few days. Kidney problems seem to be very common in older cats and I know several who lived long full lives after diagnosis, especially with the right diet so don't give up hope.
The best thing you can do at the moment is get some sleep and take care of yourself while the vets do their thing.

>>9360271
If anything bad does happen just so you know you made the cats ending years probably the best she/he has had. I hope all is well though, and that you get more time with them.

>>9360271
I know the feeling. My 17 year old cat died two weeks ago. It was the first time I cried in over a decade. Hope it all goes well.

She is very lucky to have a owner like you. I hope your kitty gets better soon and don't lose hope! My oldest cat was diagnosed CKF, she lived for another 5 years. It didn't even kill her, what killed her was a blood clot.

I hope your cat will be ok. If things get bad, remember you gave that cat extra time and love. And I'm happy you're thinking of her sister. Three weeks after my elderly, sweet cat passed, my other elderly cat was very sick. I rushed him to the ER and found out I had to put down him down too. I think once he realized he was the only cat his will just kind of crapped out. If you have to put your ill cat down, please consider another cat that's mellow and an adult instead of a hyper kitten.

Sorry for the sad cat stories. I know having a sick pet is horrible feeling.

Someone who's cheap as fuck and/or doesn't give a shit about actually being careful about things. I.e. the earlier mentioned friends.

>buy a foundation close to your skin color with a good consistency
>buy a pure white corrector to lighten your chosen foundation's color.

If you're going to a make up counter in America, good luck. I've been to many and worked at them too. Most American foundations push for a tan look. I ended up using Missha BB cream No. 13 with white powder on top. It's not perfect, but it's the closest I can find to cover my veins.

Maybe you can try Mac's lightest color, but you might need to buy their pure white foundation to add to whatever you buy to match your skin. That gets pricey. Manic Panic also makes a white, liquid foundation corrector which you can add to whatever foundation that's closest to your skin and it will lighten it.

>>9360546
>Like, can't by clothes at H&M even though she has a decent job because it's "too expensive".

Thanks anon. I really appreciate your words on this. I'm worried if I go to my doctors too much I may come across as a hypochondriac but I might go back to the mental health trained doctors office I found and see what they think.

I find it hard to go to psychologists because often times when I have my appointments everything is generally all good even if I do write things down when I feel like crap, I'm just not in that moment any more and can't feel how I felt at that point.

I will definitely try and take your advice though and speak my concerns to someone soon hopefully. Thank you again

I just smile and nod and accept that it's baggage that they have to deal with 24/7. I'm also petite and even my boss has done as you've described.

If your empathy stores are running low you can fire back with some stuff about how short people also have trouble finding clothes that fit and deflect to an argument that the concept of ready-to-wear sizing needs an overhaul.

Your boyfriend wont get better at this unless you talk to him about it. Either tell him to carry his weight, or that you'd just prefer to go to the cons alone. Guys don't really figure this stuff out on their own. If he is of any worth he'll man up, or if he is as useless as he sounds you can enjoy your cons alone while he's scared of you getting dicked.

If he mans up though, take his food money away and say that you'll manage the food situation. That's if you'd prefer doing it over him being an impulsive fatso

This girl I know was looking for someone to go to Colossal with her, and it'd work out well for me cause she'd drive, and I live close anyway so it's not like I need to scramble for a room or something. But I just know that I wouldn't really have fun with her. We're just on too different of wavelengths.

Not relating strictly to Colossal, but I know my best friend is interested in going to cons too. Thing is from the way he talks, the stuff he's most interested in is throwing a room party and meeting weeby girls. He also gets kind of weirdly shitty about stuff sometimes, so I don't know how it'd really go, going to a con together. I'd be super salty if he got salty at me for wanting to do con things.

Guess I'm just frustrated that I don't really have anyone to go to cons with. It's dumb.

Instead of just writing things down, you might want to try record yourself talking through your feelings or thoughts, then play that for whoever you see for your mental health. Or if you are going to just keep only writing things down, be super descriptive when you write them, like multiple paragraphs about what was happening around the time you felt that feeling or symptom, how you dealt with it, etc. I never really wrote things down, but I used to regularly practice what I was going to tell my therapist. Every few days I'd go through a mental checklist of what'd been happening and shit. The day before the appointment I'd talk myself through what I wanted to say and how I wanted to pace and present it.

Nobody here can really diagnose you online or anything, but what you described sounds a lot like some of the symptoms I have with borderline personality disorder. There's other illnesses that have some symptoms similar to your behavior too, though. It doesn't sound like your situation is life threatening or anything but I'd still seek some help. Even if they don't think you're "sick enough" for an actual diagnosis, some therapy may still be helpful anyway.

No you didn't, but some people don't want to lower their prices.

Tfw you've been seeing a certain accessory on a character as one color, when people keep drawing/cosplaying it as another.

I can't tell if I'm mildly color blind or if the character in question just varies depending on the light/artist. I want to say the latter, hopefully.

Adulting sucks, and it's why everyone should suicide by the time they're 25. Life only gets worse, every year will feel worst than the last. You'll think it gets better, but it won't. You'll hope, but it'll be futile. You will work for money so that you can keep yourself alive to work some more. You'll have 2 days off but be too exhausted from your 5 days of work to even do anything more than sleep and browse the internet in the comfort of your PJs. Even if you're in the mood to hang with friends; they will all be adults who won't sync up their "need to go out for excitement" clocks with you. When you do go out, you'll feel like it was a waste because you just discuss boring adult stuff.

Kill yourself. I don't mean that harshly. I mean literally kill yourself because you get too deep in responsibilities to do so.

>>9360841

How do they expect to sell it then? It's been listed for 6 months now.

>>9360838

Probably is there any ways I could get them to go lower? I don't think calling them a retard would pan out well.

Even his in game model his laces and coat strings have a green glow to them.

>>9360868
They may be attempting to get you to raise the price by acting as if they aren't interested in lowering it. Just say that if they want to sell it for your price, to contact you. End of discussion, don't give them hopes of price negotiation in the message

>>9360870
They are green, you're not colorblind.

>>9360873
I'm glad I'm not going crazy/colorblind then, thank you for the reaffirmation haha

>>9360877
Green and yellow are really close on the hue scale. It's definitely on the green side, going close to yellow. Still definitely green though.

>>9360867
Adulting is only boring when you have zero responsibility. Then everything you do is empty bullshit.
If you gain some responsibility though it gives what you do some purpose.
Though be careful as taking on responsibility you aren't ready for and you'll still feel empty as an unused vase.

When you go in the bathroom at Katsucon, and some girl has her big bush out changing clothes.

USE A DAMN STALL.

My first Moitié piece came in, and I'm ecstatic. Ever since I first got into the fashion ten years ago, I've dreamt of owning a wardrobe full of Moitié, but it felt like an impossibility. Everyone used to talk about how expensive it is compared to the other brands, and how hard it is to find secondhand, but here I am, living the dream twelve year old me always wanted. Extravagant goth wardrobe, here I come.

>It's just a secondhand skirt anon, calm down

I was going to go to a meet today that I'd been looking forward to for at least a couple weeks, but my boyfriend decided that right before I was about to leave was a good time to have a talk and let me know how stale he thinks our relationship has become and how he's not sure if he's happy anymore. So instead of being at a meet, looking cute and making friends, I'm crying on and off while he takes a nap. Good stuff.

>>9361289
Boyfriend sounds like an asshole if he waited until you were about to go and have fun to drop that bomb on you

>>9361292
I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he had worked up the courage to have a hard discussion and didn't want to lose it because he's usually not the kind of person who would intentionally pull such a dick move. But fuck if I'm not annoyed that I'm missing a meet to boohoo about something that's probably pretty normal for couples who have been together for half a decade like we have because he couldn't wait until tomorrow or something. I'd just gotten a new piece in that I was excited to wear for the first time, too.

>>9360870
>I have that exact coat.
>I have those exact boots
>I can pull off the skinny jeans under too.
Well at least i'm sorted for a costume if ever the time cums to dive up and swallow everything i got.

wow he sounds like a woman.

>>9361346
>time cums

>>9361360
>sounds like a philosophical porn title.

>>9361301
Okay so he was too scared to bring up a problem he thinks you guys are having and so he tells you right before you leave (to have fun and be with good company) so he doesn't lose his 'courage'? I would have gone to the meet and dealt with that bs when I got back, there no reason for him to have waited until you were getting ready to leave, that just sounds like spite to me
>misery loves company

I slept with a sweet lolita a few months ago and now she wants a relationship. I said I'm not interested in one and now I am getting passive aggressive replies and talks of forcing myself on her.

>>9361382
She didn't seem crazy, I knew her for a while.

>>9361384
Yes, I do. Especially since she brought it up I made sure to keep building my case by getting her to admit it was a mutual thing. It's just that I have a lot of female cosplayer/lolita acquaintances and her friends are the type to latch on and try to ruin someones life the second the rape word comes out of a girls mouth.

I feel like I am trapped in a cycle of consumption leading to attempts at creation which leave me feeling defeated and unfulfilled. The only thing I really have going for me as a person is my tendency toward "quirky" hobbies among the sea of weird hybrid redneck hipster people where I live.

My eccentric personality isn't winning me any friendship contests, and even at my best I still present as disheveled. My eyebags are like ten pound weights.

If I truly applied myself to one or two things then maybe I could excel at something, or create something of my own, but I can't ever seem to stick to anything. I'm always admiring the creations of others, be it shows or games or prints.

People like me and I don't want them to. My life is defined by my avoidant addiction to the internet, my expenditures on weaboo items and my love of playing dress up. I want to stay alive so I can continue being entertained, but I provide nothing. Is that really okay? I just don't want to be in the way. I guess that doesn't make a lot of sense.

>>9361927

I think in some cases it's more a matter of being cheap than being a poorfag. Some people just don't care enough about clothes to spend a certain amount when they can find it cheaper.
Something like this happens in my comm, there are girls who earn much more than me but they don't buy brand simply because they don't think it's worth it.

I did that shit before- apply to as many places as you can if you haven't. That way, you might be able to have a choice to pick between employers. Also, try to start at part-time if you want less of a commitment. Try retail, I hated working fast food.

I worked at Taco Bell for two weeks and it was the worst. People were so rude to me because I took a little bit longer than the other girls who had worked there for a few years. It was my second day and an old hag sarcastically asked it if I had just started to work there or something. (Because I wasn't very good yet.) And when I timidly told her that it was my second day, she did a 180 and was super nice to me.

People are the WORST.

People who incorporate their perverted age play/diaper shitting fetish into fandoms and fashion styles leave me with a perminant disgusted rage look on my face.

>>9358323
>several chronic shit-stirrers who nitpick everything on other people, from clothes to physical features to behaviour and seem to have some sort of fetish for making fun of people's noses and weight.
Well, there you go. Our comm has a no drama policy, so if you act like a cunt to other members, you're outta there.

We had our own Negative Nancy who was making other people feel uncomfortable because they were being generally rude and abrasive. First, it was nothing rule-breaking/banworthy, but then she got put on probation for trying to make a meet on the same day as someone else and being super rude to boot, and after that she broke her probation by making a shit-stirring post that made many members upset.

It's not that I didn't sympathize with said Nancy's insecurities, but your feefees aren't a license to act like a cunt to other people. We're a fashion comm, and not a support group. We're there to dress in fancy dresses and drink tea, not nurture someone's self-esteem, and given that, her behaviour just became inappropriate. It got to the point that people not only avoided her at meets, but would avoid meets altogether if she showed up.

So if someone is rude/shit stirring/a drama llama in general, bring it up with your mods? Hopefully if enough people complain they can deal with the issue. Sometimes as little as a warning can get people to clean up their act (or if they're feeling too spiteful they'll just flounce which is what you wanted anyway).

I'm envious of a teenager who has more brand, more followers, and more success as a lolita than I do at 24. On one hand I hate her for being better than me and on the other I'm her biggest fan. I save all of her pictures and actively try to find dirt on her so my hate can be justified. I feel so creepy.

Most SJW are teenagers and gain critical thinking skills once they are adults

>>9362719
I think people who don't appropriately price items are just kind of stupid or are banking on newbies who haven't figured out how to use shopping services. Sometimes I think people who are selling a dress that's been up for 6 months at the same, stupidly high price and refuse to budge on it aren't really interested in selling it, but are just waiting to see if someone is willing to give them a ridiculous amount of money for the dress, if that makes sense.

In the same vein if I ever see -RARE- in the title of a sales post I immediately assume the seller is a dumbass.

Partially what this guy said>>9362935
>>9362917
I was young and all my friends at the time were SJWs too, so you know how that goes, anything against them is 'literally the worst thing ever' and conversations were always a circle jerk about fighting the system and what not which felt really good at the time. I had also been struggling with several legitimate mental health conditions as well and felt like the people who were 'fighting for it' were on my side. I gradually started noticing more and more how many people were self diagnosing with conditions I had and pretending to have them, including symptoms that weren't even real. I spoke out it about it and was "shut down", called an elitist, an ableist, and a classist. I apologised like a pussy and kept my head down for a while.
I ended up going on medical leave from school after a suicide attempt. I wasn't online much and was in therapy every couple of days. As I was recovering I realised how toxic a lot of my friends both on a offline were. All the things that truly helped people heal were seen as ableist to suggest. Any progress was stunted and discouraged, because it might discourage others somehow. I also realised I was gay and joined a local 'queer' youth group. That started out well, I felt like I was making friends and it was good to talk about things I didn't want to bring up to my parents with people who I thought were going through the same thing. Gradually this changed too, things were becoming much more political and 'transtrenders' with six genders and bad undercuts were being welcomed in. The final time I went was when I got in a argument with one because they thought that not having sex with someone with genitals you aren't attracted to is bigoted! And everyone agreed!

Once I returned to school I found out that my friends, who had been patting themselves on the back for being so 'progressive and tolerant' had no only never reached out to me at all but had also been mocking me behind my back. I was done apologising, I ditched all of them and graduated.
The last bit of SJWhood faded when I started working. All the lies I had been fed about the sexist racist, evil world were proven wrong. I started reading again, a lot of history which pulled my political alignment back from the farthest point left.
Now people like trigglypuff are funny to me but they also make me sad, I know what it's like to be there. It is like a cult, they draw in people who genuinely have problems and cripple them by forcing them into perpetual self-flagellation, or help malicious people rise in the ranks while feeding their egos.

Sorry for the long story, now let's get back the /cgl/ feels

TLDR: tried to off myself, found out how toxic my SJW friends and the whole ideology were, got a job and actually read books

Me too anon. Iwas suddenly thrust into a really bad financial situation these last two years, wich has carried over to this year. I struggled really hard with feeding myself, getting to uni and taking care of my responsibilities financially. So of course i have basically bought no lolita in two years. I was so depressed because of uaving to struggle so hard. Fast forward to this year and i am doing slightly better though my budget is still pathetic. I get anxious and depressed at the thought of spending any money because of how shit things have been. I have considered leaving lolita because even though i can now manage to save for something new and have the money siting there waiting to be used, i cant get over a mental block. Browsing makes me anxious, my wishlist feels unobtainable, and actually parting with money triggers a fight or flight response wich leaves me ultimately depressed and freaked out. It has disenchanted me and i dont know if i will be able to get back into lolita.

Pretty simple honestly, say you have $50, and your bills are $50, you want a burrito? Too bad, you arent allowed anything not bills, cause you wont be able to pay them. Walk past the burrito shop you pathetic piece of human garbage. × a couple of years or a life time and presto! You have a walking husk who doesnt know how to have fun because their life has been focused on survival. Extra points if they only have $40 for those bills, so have to sell their cherished possesions to feed themselves, leaving them hollow inside. 10× points if they accumulated debt that will continue to haunt them for the comeing years. So when they finally achive financial security they cant turn it off.

I can't hold fat very well, beside on my boobs and ass. I can't even fit most clothes at h&m because I'm far out of convection sizes. I get very easily too cold (till the point where I get health problems), because I have so little fat. And I'm very tall, even western shirts often have to short sleeves. Why do fat people think they're the only one who have trouble finding fitting clothes? Tons of people have such problems, they're the only ones of which the majority could change it, yet they are the worst in complaining. I have nothing against overweight people, but I do have something about ignorant people who think the world should all change for them. (Overweight lolita's who know how to dress, how rare they may be, and are nice are fine).

Yea, try finding jeans if you are a man who has done squats a couple times. I am trying to find comfortable jeans, not denim yoga pants.

Curse you thin privilege.

I'm generally small, but I have very wide shoulders, absolutely flat chested, and have a wide pelvis. Buy things that fit my waist and bust but they're too tight in the hips and shoulders, buy things that fit in the shoulders and hips and they bunch up and hang on the bust. But I can't mention this whenever girls are discussing clothing fit because apparently I can get any clothes in the world and am a skinny shitlord. I can only wear puffed sleeves in lolita and have to put some work into adjusting other clothes. I don't think I've worn a straight off the rack, unaltered pair of pants since I was twelve.
>Tfw bought a normie blouse that was slightly too small in the shoulders
>Thought I could suffer through it because it was super cute
>Tfw bent forward and split it down the middle like the hulk

> I can't wear dresses beside potato sags, because their to big at my waist, or to small at my breast and butt (they won't even go over my butt).
>potato sag dresses make me look fat because I have big breast
> I can't wear jeans without a belt, it either doesn't fit over my hips, or my waist fits literally twice in the waist part.
> Anything not highwaisted is deemed to show buttcrack, because convection sizes don't know that a big ass doesn't only get's bigger in width.
>95% of all long sleeved clothes are to short. I always miss around 10cm until my wrist.
>Basically all I can wear for tops are shirts that have far to much stretch and break within a few weeks because of it, or custom made clothes, unless I wear wide clothes that make me look fat again.
>Nothing high waisted is actually high waisted, it's just slightly higher then normal, but not on my waist where it should be. Ad least it doesn't show my butt.
>Bikini's are a nono. I always need a bathing suit. Know how hard it is to find one that doesn't make you look like a granny?
>and that bathingsuit still needs to have small waist and room for big breast and butt. Oh and support because my breast hurt if I don't have support.
>I had to pay 120 euro for a bathingsuit that fits, because I needed a special one for curved woman
>I can only buy bras in lingerie stores, because normal ones rarely have my size. It would be nice to have some cheap trow away bras!

People really don't notice how horrible any not basic size is, It's not only plus size. I feel you >>9364604, specially in the you can't complain part.

And another one:
>tfw every time you say you're curvy people think you're fat on the internet, but you can se your ribs. Thanks internet, some people are curvy. Looks nice, sucks realistically.

There is one pro. You find your right bra size, and a right fitting bra's is the most comfortable thing ever. A bra is like a t-shirt in comfort + it stops pain.
