Last thread. >>9584720

Time to share some cgl feels. Stay on-topic and don't fight!
>>
This is incredibly silly but I feel overwhelmed by IW's questionnaire. Obviously they're not going to bring every single item back in stock just because they're asked to, but I feel like this is a blank check to ask for everything I've ever wanted from them and I don't know what to pick. Choosing only three items is agony.
>>
>>9589804
And on a similar note, I'm so touched by the fact they're holding this questionnaire at all. IW has been my favorite brand for most of my time in lolita and I'm beyond eager to throw money at them for designs I love.

>>
>>9590120
Hypothetically, would you stay with a man if he had and raised children with another woman while he was with you? Let's take it a step further and assume these kids and their mother are living in the same house as you.
>>
>>9590120
If he wants kids and she doesn't or vice versa it's kind of a deal breaker for relationships. Unless they adopt but most men don't want that and for good reason.

>>
>>9590144
Guys don't like raising someone else's kid
Most of the emotions of fatherhood come from the baby being yours, and men aren't programmed to really give a shit about kids not related to them
>>
>>9590144
Because they want it to be their own. Artificial insemination and a host mother is a possibility if you don't want to birth it yourself.
>>
>>9590149
>>9590153
When you adopt a child they cease being 'someone else's kid'.
>>
>>9590155
If you don't give birth to your own children then you will never feel the motherly bond though.
>>
>>9590159
No?
They will always be someone else's kid no matter how much you pretend they aren't.
>>
>>9590160
Exactly the same for a father which is why if one person doesn't want a kid the relationship won't work.

>>9590159
Lol no that isn't how it works.
>>
>>9590166
You do realise 'adopting' makes them yours right? Raising a child makes them yours. Not who's genetics they have.

You probably shouldn't have kids at all.
>>
Friendly reminder that this is the feels thread, not a pop psych thread.
>>
>>9590160
that's just not true though. there's tons of evidence of mother animals adopting other baby animals that have been abandoned, the same thing works in humans. go and actually read some stories from people who have adopted.
>>
>>9590180
>if i feel the kid is mine then it must be true!
Really now? So after adopting and caring for the kid it's genes will change to reflect yours or how exactly does this work?

They're either trolls or these people just don't have an education.
The joke's on them, however: it's incredibly common amongst primates to adopt abandoned babies. Gorillas do it all they time after poaching kills a mother.

All the cosplay schools I would have wanted to go to are full, and I got nothing to do when summer ends. Gah, what shall I do.
But maybe I just want to quit cosplay altogether, haven't worked on it in a long time. None of the cosplays I want to do are doable, and got no cosplay friends to do fun things with either.
My life is shit.

Primates have extremely varied family structures. You can't compare humans to primates. Humans are literally birds, compare them to them.

Humans are literally primates. You can say we're figuratively birds but not literally birds, that's stupid. What you mean probably is humans aren't great apes, but we are indeed primates. A better comparison than birds would be our closest relatives, chimps, who actually practice infanticide very frequently to children who are no their own. They are ruthless fucks who will straight up murder if their mate got the seed of another chimp in them.

The human family structure of forming couples that stay together "for life" is very rare among mammals, and much more common in birds. And humans also, just like birds, walk on two legs instead of four, another thing that's rare in mammals. So there is a possibility that humans actually aren't mammals at all, but rather, they are birds.

And humans, gorillas and chimpanzees all have very different family structures despite being closely related. You can't learn that much about human families from studying gorillad or chimpanzees. It makes more sense to study animals with the same types of families as us, such as birds.

Genetics plays a huge role in personality, at least as much as upbringing if not more. The main reason I (a woman) would personally prefer not to adopt is because there's a high likelihood the kid will take after their birth parents rather than my husband and I, which can lead to all sorts of problems if those birth parents were irresponsible/impulsive/criminal/violent/substance abusers like many people whose children end up being put up for adoption. I'd probably only adopt if I was already familiar with both birth parents and knew that they were decent people. It really sucks for the kids because they can't help who they were born to, but I don't blame anyone for not wanting to adopt some stranger's child.

I'm starting to feel more and more like a lonelita. A falling out with a girl in my "clique" of lolitas has led to me being excluded from all their private meetups and non-lolita events. I don't really see any of my lolita friends as friends anymore, and girls outside of that circle don't bother inviting me to anything either because I work a lot and am not very close with anyone in the comm. I've mentioned to other girls in the past that I'd love to join them for their weekly meets but nothing really came of it and I feel pathetic asking again.

But still not the majority role, there's still a lot of doubt if there's a biological root to personality, even with epigenetic findings that suggest some lifetime experiences of parents can be 'transmitted' to offspring to influence behaviour but nurture aspects of development are still a massive influence- shouldn't put people off adopting.

Sage for off topic

>>9591617

I was mostly talking about things like impulse control and addiction sensitivity, which are very basic brain functions that have been shown to have a strong hereditary component in many animals, including humans (can't be assed to look up sources on my phone, sorry).
People with low impulse control are more likely to be aggressive and make poor choices. Poor, irresponsible choices like getting pregnant with a child they can't take care of so they end up in the adoption circuit. Teenage pregnancy, criminal behavior, unnecessary risk-taking, lack of long-term planning, substance abuse etc. These are all things that show a strong intergenerational component and run in families, even when some of the kids are raised by decent grandparents or in-laws. If I were going to adopt a child I'd want to know exactly why that child's parents and their extended family were deemed unable to raise it themselves.

Anon, dont be a slave to your family like this.

Please stand up for yourself. It is unreasonable for your mother tod demand you take time to travel across the country on exactly her terms. You visit her whenever the hell you damn please, not when she says you should. I understand you feel for your father, but he's a grown man and can deal with the person he chose to spend his life with himself.

I could understand your situation if you lived with your parents, but considering you're independently living on the opposite coast of them, I'd say you'll be just fine. You can always visit the next weekend.

>>9591867
Be careful about calorie counting:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv6J5jxi84o

Really, just stay away from sugar. Drink only water. It's okay to eat fatty foods in moderation, snack less, eat fiber rich foods since those will make you feel "full" for longer because they take longer to digest. Brown rice is good for that, but don't overstuff on it because it's also easy to overdo eating carbs.

Weight gain is tricky but at the same time not tricky. Misinformation makes it a bitch, food marketers want to just use buzzwords to shovel their products down your throat, and genetics play a role in how difficult or easy it is to gain and lose weight.

Best way is really to cut sugar, don't snack (hard if your body is used to eating a lot), and when you actually eat meals make sure it's a complete meal so your body gets all the nutrients it needs. No eating just fucking pasta and a steak - make sure you get your fucking greens in there or your body will crave eating more of something else to make up for the lack of nutrients it has.

Don't worry!
If we get in a nuclear blast, you want to be in the fiery nuclear death part of it! Because then you won't even realize when you die. It'll be so sudden that you can be typing a shitpost on 4chan one moment and then simply not exist the next! You won't have anything to regret, any fears, no worries, because you're just POOF. I want to go out that way. Just one moment there and unsuspectingly not the next.

Thanks anons, after calming down a bit I realized that my sugar intake is far too much and I need to cut down drastically. I didn't expect to get actual answers and really appreciate it.

Try having a sweet piece of fruit like a nectarine or fresh cherries instead of something more dessert-y or confection-y when you crave something sweet.
Also try cutting out soda entirely and replacing it with fruit-infused water.

I'm tempted to say plan to have one set fast food meal a week, and no more. Then plan some calorie-burning around it, like plan to walk two or more laps of a local mall and then pick up your meal afterwards. Park far away from the door so you get extra walking distance too.

Burgers aren't really terrible for you. Make them at home and use lean beef, skip the bun if you have to, load up on veggies.
>>
>>9592055
Or use crispy wheat toast for a bun. Or try lettuce wrap burgers.
>>
>>9591998
Literally just eat a cheese burger.
Bread, 100-200 calories.
Beef patties, lean, 180-230 calories.
Cheese like pepper jack, swiss, Gouda, 90-100 calories a slice.
Add lettuce, tomatoes, and mustard(0 cals).

Easy meal.

Lettuce is practically fucking nothing and a tomato slice will be pretty low.

Burgers aren't bad for you really, in moderation. People seriously put the blame on the wrong things because of bad science and pop food marketing. Fat is good for you. It'd be better to call them lipids, and they're an essential part of your diet that your body will overeat to compensate for if you cut down too much on it. Obviously it doesn't mean eat a just burgers - everything is bad for you if you overdo it. The key to a good diet is BALANCE. Too many people try cutting too much and their body fails on them, then they wonder why they lose 10 pounds in two weeks but then gain 20 the next when their body doesn't agree with the dietary change.

Moderation and balance. Sugar is the real fat maker here, not fat (lipids). Your body also needs sugars, but most of our diets have WAY more sugar than we need because it's so damn tasty to us that we overload everything with it. Like another anon said - go with eating a sweet fruit if you have sugar cravings. There's absolutely no excuse for soft drinks, cut them entirely caus it's really easy to overdo your sugar intake with just a single soda bottle. Sugar is a real fat maker because your liver will convert all excess sugar into body fat, that's part of its job in your body after all.

DO NOT drink fruit juice! Juice your veggies and eat your fruits. When you juice fruits all you are doing is just shredding away the fiber and most of the meaty nutrient rich parts of the fruit and breaking it down into sugar water.

The more you eat in balance, the easier it will be to maintain that balance because your body will be getting what it needs. Food pyramid is shit, but you should definitely make sure you get your fruits, veggies, nuts and grains.

Losing weight is more about what you eat and less about the gym; though it does help! But the is mostly won at the dinner table.
>>
>>9592083
It will probably be something like 40-50 calories for the lettuce, mustard, and tomato combined. You should still count it.

This is how people start to underestimate their calories for the day.
>>
>>9592087
An entire tomato is 20-30 cals and an entire head of lettuce is 50 cals.
Safe to say 1 leaf and a slice of totos is fucking nothing.

And mustard is 0 calories, you don't need to count it. But yes always overestimate your calories and calculate TDEE as sedentary.

>>9592090
I'm not seeing mustard as 0 calories anywhere, but maybe it's dependent on the brand you buy. Same for what you're using as lettuce.

Iceberg lettuce is crap anyway.

Mustard is "technically" 0 calories. Meaning it's less than .5 or whatever the FDA approved. It's like pickles where ya there is like maybe 1-2 calories the entire thing but you don't need to count it.

Also stay the fuck away from fat-free and low-fat foods. Like I said in this post, fat is fine to have; but the ironic part is that fat-free and low-fat foods taste HORRIBLE and so manufacturers just dump tons of sugar into it so that it becomes somewhat palatable. There's a direct correlation between an increase in obesity in America and when the government recommended fat free diets in the 80's.

>>9592095
Depends. That strawberry banana smoothie that tastes delicious? Probably not. The kale, spinach, almond butter, tomato smoothie (notice how tomato is the only fruit)? Yea, that's fine, in moderation. Most fruit smoothies will be bad for you because they're made to taste good, and taste good because of all the sugar.

>>9592100
This goes back to the video I posted earlier about calories being bullshit. I encourage more people to see it. Calories can be an okay estimate but it's almost mostly a waste of time to swear your whole diet on calorie counts because there's a high chance it'll be wrong. Just train your body to eat balanced, don't eat if you aren't hungry (this means snacking as well), and stick with drinking water (or fruit infused water as an anon said earlier, but make it yourself because we know damn well that the kind you get that's bottled will almost certainly have extra sugar added for taste).
>>
>>9592114
Calories aren't bullshit, you just need to be super accurate. I've lost 100lbs counting accurately.
>>
>>9591962
Just another tidbit anon, if you do decide to have a bit of sugar, be careful you don't have it with protein, that combo can make you create and store a lot of fat. As the other anons have said, cut out junk foods and get your sugar cravings from fruit and eat lots of dark greens and count your calories!

Reminder that drinking water exclusively is also a good way to save money. Some people are surprised by how much they spend on drinks when they could just drink water. This is especially true if your town or city has good tap water (please do your research!) A lot of the negative flak tap water gets comes from good marketing of companies pushing their water bottles.

>>9592124
Perhaps "bullshit" was too harsh. It's decent for getting estimates but what I mean is that your time is better spent learning to eat properly than obsessing over arbitrary numbers that manufacturers can and frequently get away with pretty much making up based on faulty data.

Like maybe at the start of your diet, just keep an eye out for how much you eat and also look into a calculator that can estimate your caloric needs based on your unique body type (which will still be off because everyone's body is different, but again this whole thing is estimates on top of estimates on top of estimates).

Restaurants? Those calories will be wrong. Packaged goods? Those will be wrong. You may thing "oh, it can just be off by maybe 100 calories" but it adds up when EVERYTHING you eat has that margin of error.

That's why it's just much more effective to learn proper eating habits and how to tune your body to only eat when its hungry and get all the nutrients it needs so it lessens cravings. There is no "super accurate" when it comes to calories because manufacturers give zero shits about being "super accurate" with their packaging (and the FDA lets them). Eating to match your proper caloric requirements comes naturally when your body is trained to tell you exactly when it's REALLY hungry and you know what to put inside of it.

Tl;dr - I was maybe too harsh with "bullshit" but it's just not as reliable as most people believe.

More about this? I eat protein bars and they have sort of a shitty amount of sugar in them. I'm not overweight by any means but I like to eat them because they fill me up. Also, I sometimes add protein powder to my smoothies and I know that the fruits in my smoothies have sugar in them.

Oh, also want to add something about salads! So, we all know salads are pretty much known as the "health" food right? Wanna eat healthy? Order a salad! It's simple, right!?

Here's the thing: iceberg lettuce (which is commonly used in salads because it's cheap) is mostly water. Don't get me wrong, it's still nice to eat and has good nutrients, but it's very little! Salads that consist of like one diced tomato and some lettuce isn't really going to fill you up. Most people actually just get full from all the dressing they slather over it (don't do this!)

To make a proper salad, go for deep green leaves like spinach or kale! Romaine lettuce is fine too, but it isn't THAT much of an upgrade from iceberg. Lettuce isn't bad for you, it's just not the best choice to go for in salads and will almost certainly leave you hungry still after your "meal."

Also sorry for turning feels thread into weight loss thread. Just kinda wanted to lay down some info for my fellow gulls from someone who averages at about 115 pounds.

>>9592177
Not that anon, and I've never really heard much of the effects of sugar and protein combined; but if you're not overweight or in danger of being overweight then I'd say you don't really have anything to worry about. You could probably get a healthier diet if you completely dropped the protein bars for something else but I'd imagine you do it for the comfort of essentially having a quick pocket meal. I used to walk around with boiled eggs in my pockets to snack on whenever.

I just turned 24 recently and realized the only thing that fills the empty void in my soul is cosplaying and conventions. I have nothing else in my life, all my friends are successful or on the road to success and in happy relationships. I feel like a complete failure and I don't know how to fix it or what to do or who to turn to.

I'm pretty ready to commit suicide in a few years if my life continues on this way. Lately I've been thinking about how much better it would have been if I'd have never been born at all.
>>

I'm so bummed right now. I've been pretty much unactive as a Lolita, because I last year I started my own small company and I have time for nothing and I'm also studying a second carrer at uni at nights, so my life is a rollercoaster. But I still love Lolita so much. However I'm getting older (I'm 27 now) and all my friends have quit Lolita. In my country, there are mostly only itas and weirdos, we have no comm and I just feel so lonely. I'm also getting so insecure about my body. I feel like now that I'm older, Lolita just looks so silly on me. I wear classic, so at least I don't look ridiculous, but.... I don't know. I've always felt too big for Lolita anyways, I'd tried to overcome my insecurities but I'm just... big I guess. I'm 1.79 cm tall and I wear size US 12 shoes, and I can't for my life seem to get down to below 70 kilos, that's my absolute lowest. I try real hard to eat healthy. I really really have no time to exercice, I know this sounds like a dumb excuse but really, I can't find time for it. My day starts at 7 am when I wake up and get ready. My company is home-based and I employ a small team of 3 people, they work from an office me and my family have made at our house. I start work at around 8. My days are pretty hectic because I have to wear many different hats as an entrepreneur. The most difficult part is to get clients, I have so many meetings and pitchings. If I'm not at a meeting, I'm with the team working on client work. I try to stop working at around 6 pm to rush to Uni, that starts at 7 pm till 11 pm. I get home exhausted. On weekends, I have to study. So there really is no time for exercise, or at least I don't have the strength t meake time for it.
tl,dr: I feel big, fat, old and alone. I have noone to talk to. All my friends have left Lolita. Whenever I wear my frills I'm so happy, but then realiity kicks in. I hope I can make some friends here, at least so I can get some stuff off of my chest and chat with like minded people.

May be helpful, but I ironically find relief in keeping a helium tank and exit kit in my closet. It makes me feel like "no matter how bad life gets, I'm the master of my own suffering and can escape any time I want."

Since getting it, life's downs are easier to deal with. The downside is feeling like I have nothing to look forward to and lack the motivation to improve myself or learn new skills because "I could die next month so the effort would be wasted."

Thanks for the support anon, I really appreciate it. Initially I was pretty sad about it as well as bitter, but by this point I've had enough time to push away the feelings to be able to enjoy myself this coming weekend. I'm hoping for the same thing though, since meeting at least one special person would be nice!
As far as who I'll be cosplaying (although some you may not be familiar with), my line up is going to be Johan Liebert from Monster, Waver Velvet from Fate/Zero, Major Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid 3, and Gundham Tanaka from Danganronpa 2. I'll be changing a few times over the weekend, so I'll be fairly active at least.

Wow! I'd love to hear more, are you a lone Lolita now, or do you frequent your comm? Are you sometimes worried about what people might say because you are "older"? How did your life change and what got you back into Lolita? How often do you wear it now? Do you wear it only for events, or do you also wear it for personal stuff like dates, dinner or going out to town? I'm sorry for all these questions, I'm just really curious and also happy to hear I'm not the only one. Mid life crisis I guess.

I won't give up then. I'll keep ocassionally buying stuff according to muy (currently small) budget and I'll keep active on forums and such. I miss the days when I was employed in an Agency and earned a decen salary so I could blow a lot on it on Lolita. As I make my own income now and have to pay for uni, there's hardly any left most months.

Just wish I had some people to talk to on a regular basis. Any recs on where to meet likeminded people on the interwebs and not coming off as a creppy old lady who needs friends? I guess my poor english doesn't help at all, too.

I feel you anon, JetJ is extremly small. I don't fit a cutsew in size 1 i bought from them and it was so expensive, I'll never be able to sell it because I live in the middle on nowhere and no Lolitas here and Intl. shipping is so expensive.
I hate this about classic brands, I'm a classic Lolita and I only fit into IW and JetJ size 2. I'll never be able to buy VM or MM dresses, except for some very few shirred pieces. Rose Flocky is the only VM dress I own. No MM. Marie Antoinette is my ultimate DD and my fat ass will never fit into it. Fuck.
On another note, about alterations: If the dress has waistties, they can use material from there. Also if it has detachable bows or stuff. I have once altered a non-shirred sailor OP from AP by adding two panels of very similar colored fabric at the side seams on the waist and bust. I've sold it a couple years ago, but I'll try to find pictures to show you. At first I was terrified at my semastresses suggestion, but decided to go for it. The alteration was so well made it was barely noticable. Because it was two strips of pretty thin fabric at the waist, it hits just where my arms are normally laying against my torso, so it was very subtle. Maybe try that? Let me know how yo do plan on fixin it!

Keep track of EVERYTHING you eat in a food diary like MFP or a similar app, and include anything sugary you might be drinking like soda/Starbucks/tea. It could be something as simple as you've been drinking something high in calories without really thinking about it or you're munching on more snacks than you think, however if nothing has changed and you've suddenly been putting on weight you may want to talk to your doc to make sure everything is up to snuff.
It could also be a change you didn't really think of that's impacted how active you are. I gained weight when I switched from being a commuter to my uni to living in campus because I was walking way less, and now I'm losing weight with a new waitressing job because it's so physically active. When big things happen in our lives like new jobs, uni, moving, traveling, we don't always think how it'll affect our health, so I'm sure if you poke around a bit you'll figure out why you've gained weight and easily remedy it.
>>

Sort of reminds me of the time I went to a con with my mom. It was after con hours so we decided to head down to the hotel bar, maybe find something to eat.

On a similar note, yesterday I got to talk with my boss about a raise - it worked out better than expected!

I don't have a lot of time left since the con is at the end of the month, so here I go. I'm feeling all sort of excitement and nervousness for last-minute cosplays.

finally decided to leave lolita for the most part. I feel so relieved about not worrying anymore about coords, money and pieces I still need to buy to complete coords.

I only decided to keep a few practical pieces and a dress with sentimental values.

next I'm going to try some more casual kawaii shit to pretty much spice up my wardrobe more, I can't only wear 4 year old H&M skirts and shirts.

Aw, sad to hear that Anon but if you are happy with you decision then good. Will you be posting a Leaving Lolita sale? Are you getting rid of a lot of stuff?
>>
I feel like I'm getting started in lolita a little old, and I sort of feel like maybe too old to bother (24)? I keep doubting whether I should even keep going at all.
I'm a lonelita, there's no comm for 100+ miles or a 4 hour drive, there's no cons in the area, and it's a small conservative city.
Lately, every time I buy something lolita-related, I get massive doubts whether I'm doing the right thing. I get around $1000 in a bursary each term though, and I have no other interests, so if I don't spend it, it just sits there, or else my boyfriend spends it on games.
I'm not sure what to do anymore.
>>
>>9593872
Your age is irrelevant as is the presence (or lack thereof) of a comm in your area. Do you like the clothes? Do you like wearing them? Does wearing them make you feel beautiful?
If you answered "yes" to these questions then by all means do what you want. Life is too short, anon, spend time doing things that make you happy.

I don't know what the situation is, but I'd hazard a guess that it's probably their just desserts. Join them. You weren't involved in the drama. Sympathy is a wonderful thing, but don't neglect yourself and your potential good con experiences over someone you don't really know.

A lot of gulls talk about retail therapy, about how spending money makes them feel good, but for me it's the contrary.
I love planning and thinking about stuff to buy in general, but spending money makes me feel kind of guilty of spending it on "frivolous" stuff (frilly clothing, cute things etc).

I wonder if anyone else feels the same way here

Are you deliberately being this obtuse? The classification mammal literally refers to the mammary glands which humans, like other mammals and unlike birds, possess.

More on topic, I'm ecstatic that I finally found a guy who genuinely likes that I dress in otome and other cutesy j-fash, and not in some weird sexual way either. We make a bit of an odd couple since he's a scruffy engineer type, but overall I'm just happy he doesn't judge me for how I dress and likes me for me.
>>
>>9594001
yeah, exactly! i think in my case at least it comes from my parents always giving me hell over the "stupid shit" i choose to "waste my money" on. even though i don't live with them anymore, i still have this fear of my girlfriend giving me grief over buying things for my hobbies. which is ridiculous because she hasn't done so even once in the past 3 years we've lived together, and she also has her own collector hobbies that she buys a lot of stuff for too so she has no room to talk anyway. but it's hard to undo years of conditioning, i guess.

I don't get the obsession with needing a comm. I'm a lonelita and a happy one. If you need to be friends with other lolitas in order to be into the fashion, maybe rethink if the fashion is for you. If you're that desperate to connect with other lolitas, there's always online communities as well. Just dress up when you want to and go out alone or with your family or whatever. You don't need a comm to enjoy lolita.

I hate these bug complainers that come in every thread because they don't have anything relevant to post. Bugs being in your house happens to literally everyone. Get a kleenex, smash it, and get over it.

I agree. Urine in your cornflakes is a significantly more relevant problem.

I feel like Lolita, or maybe the community, makes my self-esteem issues worse.

I have some anxiety issues stemming from a traumatic childhood, but I also have really, really terrible self-esteem issues. Full blown body-dysmorphia, crying because I looked at myself in the mirror, struggled with eating disorders my whole life level of self-esteem issues. Makes my life pretty difficult.

Being on this board where every other person is called fat or ugly and loving a fashion where people are attacked for not looking perfect have made my issues worse. I just want to dress like a princess and feel special. Life is short and horrible. But I'm scared to dress the way I want to not only because normies wall ridicule me-- but mostly because other Lolitas will.

I'm completely terrified of nuclear war. I have nightmares about it almost every day.

>Tempted because I'm lonely
>Haven't been with anybody since those 6 yeas ago, she did more of a number on my confidence than she realizes
>I've been approached by girls and am told I'm attractive by a lot of them but for some reason I'm stupid and can't fall for girls other than my old con friend

Life fucking sucks. I'm pretty sure somewhere along the lines she unintentionally did some psychological fuckery with me because I literally haven't had romantic or sexual feelings for any other girl, and here she comes prancing along again years later to use me as her boytoy and I'm in no position to say no because she's the closest thing I've ever had to intimacy even if we could never work in a relationship. We're both adults anchored into our own different lives on opposite coasts of the country. I probably shouldn't feel guilty - we're both adults and just going to have a night of fun, but I guess I feel like I'm only doing it because I've gained some unhealthy obsession with her or something.

Life really sucks.

Are you being treated, anon? I'm familiar with this struggle but your condition sounds much worse and you should get therapy for it if you aren't already.
As for lolita, how does it make you feel when you wear it? Not when you go outside or post pics online, just when you're at home all dressed up. Do you feel pretty? Can you look at yourself in the mirror and think you look beautiful?
If lolita makes you feel good about yourself on a personal level then I suggest this: Don't take pictures of yourself to post online. Don't do it. Unless you want to document your coords, in that case take pics and keep them to yourself, just don't post them anywhere if you're afraid of judgment online. Be a lonelita for a while until you feel better, or continue to do so if it makes you feel more comfortable in general. If being here makes you feel worse, get off cgl. Find another site to browse that makes you feel better. Make lolita your own special thing until you feel more confident.
Regarding normies, I find that this is one of the things about lolita that makes feelings of ridicule and anxiety easier to control: Consider the fact that people look at you because you're dressed differently, because you stand out, not because you're ugly or fat or any other lie you tell yourself. Of course they stare, you're wearing a poofy dress and have a giant bow in your hair, that's not something you see every day. And that's not something that should stop you from wearing what you love. Let them stare, so what? Stares won't hurt you, and most people are more curious than anything else so if someone does approach you they'll likely just ask what you're wearing because they're interested. Do you understand what I mean?

sounds like you ought to tell her exactly what you just told us, man

it sounds like you might be more attached to the idea of your con friend and the emotions attached to such a pivotal moment in your life, and seeing her in person again after six whole years could help you realize if your feelings are legitimately for her as a person and not just her role in your life

hope that doesn't sound too harsh, I've been in similar situations and what always helped was just viewing the situation and the other person as rationally as possible to decide if they really belong in your life

Same. Browsing cgl crushed the last bits of my self-esteem and I can relate to all the things you said. Dressing in lolita still cheers me up and I don't mind being stared at by normies if I can dress like a princess and get my daily dose of escapism. Stop browsing sites that make you feel bad, don't post pictures of yourself online and don't join a comm.
>>
>>9595348
Just get off cgl and stick to the other communities, where calling someone fat or ugly is social suicide.

No, it has helped. I actually have told her about this and she kinda pushed it off as "I was a stupid kid back then, sorry" kind of thing so I don't know if it really got through to her how seriously it affected me.

I only wear mine alone, it's been really good for my mental health. I was getting so depressed before I wore lolita, this is the only thing I really enjoy now. I took a break because I gained weight (only one of my dresses I had then was shirred), and I started feeling so ugly and hopeless

"plase"
I guess this event made me forget how to spell. I should add that I'm going to be celebrating my 20th soon enough.
>>
I'm going to a big lolita event soon and feeling really guilty about spending time and money on travelling etc when money is really tight at the moment, and I'm supposed to be catching up on stuff for my PhD and other projects.

My partner is out of work due to crappy mental health, but we booked a big holiday just before he lost his job. I'm now trying to pay for all of that without emptying my savings so trying to be more frugal day to day.
Work is stressful though and when I get home I should be working on the freelance project I took on for extra cash, plus my PhD. I'm not sleeping well either... So I end up struggling to get to work on time and wasting money on trains and taxis rather than using the bus pass I have already paid for...
I was really looking forward to the event but now I feel so stressed about finishing my coord, and so guilty about spending a whole weekend on something frivolous when I'm behind with work. Not to mention every penny I spend is money we won't have on holiday...
I just want to see my friends and have fun. Being an adult is hard.

I'm sorry. this must be Rufflecon?
If you are really depending on going and having fun make a deal with yourself that you'll get to work on time and schedule regular time for your grad work. The reward is a guilt-free frilly weekend.
Hike up your discipline and plan your time well.

It's also important that, if you and your partner split bills, he at least pick up some kind of part-time or temporary work. life is rough but it is not fair to put all the stress on you. if he needs time to heal or cope he should probably move in with a family member and let you sublet.

Both of you need to be open and honest about what you need and then realistic about what it would take to get what you need. don't enable your self-saboteur either. pull from within, get shit done (including the freelance work for more cash), and then enjoy the fuck out of the lolita weekend trip. you'll deserve it after completing all your grown-up goals.
