He knows I read it, and I haven't responded

I miss my brother

Bf wants to live in a fifth wheel because he is opposed to the idea of paying rent in an apartment complex; that means no room to make cosplay or even have my own little sewing area/cute room that I have always dreamed of.

I'm basically lesbian but never really been in a solid relationship with a girl. My former best friend in high school wanted me just because I was a girl and was a raging lesbian I later learned. I just didn't like her back. She advanced on me against my will and completely ruined my trust in specifically other lesbians. My best friends at the time were a poly lesbian couple too and tried to make it look like I cheated on them. They actually groped me at this one con just to rile up my friend and start drama.
Now? They're literally now all together, I think in some poly clusterfuck, and hate me for some reason on top of it. From what I hear from some other friends, I think they actually tricked themselves into thinking they were the victim since I cut them off for all that. They refuse to acknowledge my existence in any way or apologize when honestly all I ever wanted originally was for us to be friends together.

They were cosplayers, so I escaped into lolita almost immediately afterwards. They thankfully do not care for the fashion and have no idea I'm in it.

tl;dr, I just want to have good, non-dramatic relationships with girls again after going through rapey, backstabbing lesbian hell. I'm optimistic, so I'm sure things will be fine, but I've lost a lot of hope in finding just a girl that'll be close to me again.

Help anons. I order a dress from Angelic Pretty Japan mid January and I got a confirmation email. However, it hasn't shipped still or maybe it has, but I never received a shipping notification. I've tried to contact Tenso, but I don't even have a tracking number so it's hard for them to help me.
I tried to contact Angelic Pretty as well - no response for 3 days. Any ideas how long it takes? THEY WON'T BAN ME FOR ASKING, RIGHT??!
