/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I am so new to this whole culture so it was a bit confusing for me. I went to my first convention yesterday and there was so many people and hundreds of stands and stuff to go to and whatever. But I don't have much interest in cosplaying since I don't like my body, I was never a comic book or story nerd, and I just felt so lost as to what to do. It didn't help that my one friend was following me around the whole day like I was supposed to entertain them or something, I was just as confused/lost as he was. The only fun part was spending like an hour or so watching a cosplay event and making jokes with this cool guy standing next to me. I got a couple of photos with some peeps in really amazing costumes and bought some cheap weeb merch, but I left feeling really underwhelmed. Was there anything I was supposed to really do there? Should I have gotten a bigger friend group to come with?
