/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>9167564
I started getting seriously into cosplay this year and it feels great
Before I'd buy or do closet cosplay but this year I decided I would make something
Then I made another, and another
I have shitty confidence and no social skills in my day to day life but when I wanna do a cosplay, even if it looks hard, I can tell myself "yeah I can do that"
And I can actually do it
Even if in the end I'm not satisfied with the result, people really like what I make
Also I get more human face to face interaction at my 2 yearly cons that I do in a whole year
You can look at me and say "oh that's sad he only feels good about himself when he's either working on cosplays or wearing them at cons" but it's better than never feeling good about myself like it was before
