A lolita friend of mine (or former friend) is so full of bullshit and treating me in such a weird and disrespectful way, but I’m afraid that by telling her I don’t want to have anything to do with her anymore she will bad mouth me to people that I really like in the community.

>> No.10248418

I’ve been in a situation like this before and honestly most of my comm already knew she was a shitty person but I was a fool to give her a chance. You don’t have to tell her you don’t want to have anything to do with her anymore, because that’s rather confrontational. I’d just distance myself and then just tell her you’re busy.

Bf and I have a couple cosplay coming up and I was supposed to make the costumes and he was supposed to make the one (1) single prop that goes with his costume. I finished the costumes weeks ago while the prop is still only halfway done. The con is in a week. I love him but it's really frustrating how he never finishes anything he starts. I hate making props but I guess I'm just going to have to finish it for him.

>> No.10248463

Hey anon, I was literally just in this exact situation. I dumped the friend and decided to swallow the risk of dumping the community with them, because I was sick of them making me feel like shit and given how often they tell me everyone in the community hates me, I'm not sure I had much to lose anyway. It's not worth the long-term damage to your self esteem so just quietly distance yourself.

Have you talked to him about how wrong this is? It’s not nice to leave all the work in your hands and if I were you and it weren’t REALLY important for me to go to the con with that specific cosplay I wouldn’t do it so he would see the consequences of him not putting his shit together.

I have and we've come to the agreement that since I do most of the work, he pays for most of the materials, which he did in this case as well. But he promised to make the prop as well, which he didn't. It's honestly not that big of a deal but I'm just salty because I really hate making props.

I was in the same situation last year. Got very close with a friend in the comm over the course of a couple years, but then she started acting extremely possessive of me, upset if I would talk to other people, and treated me like I was her shitty arm candy girlfriend when we certainly weren't dating and never would. I just started to distance myself from her, not making many posts online that she'd interact with, stopped going to things where I knew she'd be, etc. After about 9 months of this and even having a heart-to-heart over it, she still didn't get the hint, so I just cut her off and blocked her everywhere and called it a day. She had a really embarassing internet meltdown over it and started spreading really awful rumors about me. Tbh I couldn't even tell you how it has affected me because nothing has really changed. I haven't been to any comm meets since then and I only noticed one person stop talking to me, so I'm sure it'll blow over or other people already knew she was crazy so it'll pass. However, I'm hosting two meets for the comm coming up and many people are excited to go and have been buzzing about it, so really probably nothing will come of her being shitty and if you just be the bigger person and cut them out then I'm sure the same will happen for you.

Last year between depression and desk job I gained about 30lbs. It wrecked my self-esteem and pulled me out of wearing lolita for a good while. I could see the weight in photos and a lot of my favorite pieces didn't fit anymore. I've since lost 18 of the 30lbs and look and feel so much better. My old stuff is still a little tight, but I can get all of my unshirred Moitie zipped again and can wear things again now that I couldn't get zipped in January. My goal is to have that extra 12lbs gone by the end of October and celebrate by getting myself something really nice that I thought I wouldn't ever fit again. Wish me luck, gulls.

I just received my first Moitie dress from my based mail lady (who always has my back and brings packages up to the door and doesnt chuck them across the yard) and I'm about to sob this is my first massive lolita purchase (over 500 usd with accessories and all new/not second hand). It's so lovely! When I saw the tiny 'M's in the lace i lost it and started shaking with joy.

I got the Lace Cross JSK in the white colorway and also snagged a bat collar blouse in white and the white silent moon OTKS. A basic start but it's so cute and simple. I love that the skirt is lined as well. The blouse is a bit sheerer than I expected from the photos, but opaque enough that no one would notice under a JSK so I'm still very happy with it.

Does anyone know why Meta is so cheap on Japanese secondhand sites, but gets listed for absolutely retarded amounts on LM? Even with SS and shipping fees, that doesn’t excuse selling a skirt for $150 when it’s actually only ¥3000. Did some e-famous lolita make Meta popular? Or is it just scalpers on their usual bullshit?

I have all these wonderful dresses and adorable accessories but I don't have the will to take care of myself so whenever I do dress up in lolita I just end up thinking it'd suit someone else much better. I know part of lolita is the attention to detail and that means working on your hair, skin, nails, and everything else. I just don't ever do it. All my free time is spent lying in bed and hating myself. I'm taking medication and getting therapy but I feel like it's going nowhere.

I'm intensely unhappy, I've been that way for about two years now. The only family I had was abusive so I have no relationships with them now as an adult. I have friends, and they're good people who mean well but I always end up as their therapist and when the conversation isn't on them it feels like they're uninterested. I have a boyfriend, we haven't been right for a long time I feel like I'm constantly begging for affection. I'm realizing that maybe no one has ever loved me as much as I've loved them. I don't do any of my old hobbies I try but it just feels hollow. All I do is look at lolita and buy clothes that I don't wear. I feel like the smallest, ugliest, most unworthy piece of crap.

Hey anon, as I read this, I felt like I had written it. It's pretty much exactly like my life, though I do wear my lolita, and I'm more on the tail end of the stagnant void of not having hobbies anymore. It really really sucks and I really hate having to say it, but You have to learn to love yourself. Be your best friend. Do things to make you feel good and happy. You'll probably have to force these things at first, and it can feel pointless, but don't give up. Eventually, as you gain confidence and security within, and start truly loving yourself, it will attract more love into your life. Remember that you are worthy, even if you do not feel this. treat yourself as you would a best friend. You will attract positivity into your life if you are first positive. I love you anon.

I did it. I lost the massive amount of weightI had steadily gained since 2009, which is the last time I wore lolita. I fit into my dresses again. I have a financially comfortable position and the body size to start buying my old dream dresses and other cute shit again.

But I'm 32 now. I didn't age particularly well. I feel like I wasted my "can get away with wearing alternate fashion" youthful years.

First, and most important...congratulations on losing the weight.
You're just not used to lolita anymore because you didn't wear it for 10 years. Start small until you get used to it again. Wear lolita skirts with normie blouses, etc. You can slowly incorporate more lolita into your wardrobe until you're comfortable in a full coord again. Don't let your age get you down, just wear stuff that flatters you now.

Unless you have a busted face and want to wear sweet.

When I wrote that post I was on a long trainride, after sleeping in an especially dry room, and being forced by circumstance to wash my hair without conditioner...
At least my clothes were pretty! After I got off the train I picked myself up and dusted myself off, literally, and had a quite pleasant day.

aite dude don't worry I just did makeup for the first time too and it sucked but you gotta get makeup remover and shit and just keep trying until you get it right.

Oh, that's not so bad. Body paint aside, go for light green lipstick, this doesn't look like a Stark white. Under the eyes, prime the lid with primer. Starting from the inner corner of the eye, apply a nice rich purple (not too dark) under the eye, applying more as you get to other corner. Apply a darker purple or black in the same manner, but a much smaller amount and hugging the lower lash, and then blend just a little. Apply matching green eyeshadow to the upperlid. On the upper lid, starting from the inner corner, apply a light gray close to the lash and go all the way across. (Here, I take some liberties: Since your eyes aren't shaped like that, I suggest you apply a little more purple over (and blending it with) that outer corner, then blending it towards the inner eye about a quarter of the way, staying close to the lash and with downward strokes.) Apply eyeliners to the upper and lower kids, and since you're already here I suggest mascara.

Sorry for the shitty vent, but how the hell do you gulls deal with this sort of shit on a seemingly weekly-basis? And to add onto this, how do you connect with others better at cons when going solo?

I'm sorry to hear you're going through that, anon. I think the best thing is to go. People will are gonna love your cosplay, and other fans might stop to chat. The important thing is to not be a wallflower. I usually find a nice compliment on another cosplay or outfit is a great way to start talking to someone.
>Making changes means you can't still be depressed
Not at all anon. When things bring you down to that level, they do so regardless of what else you have going for you. Understand that feeling of depression is valid and that coming back from it is a process of pushing yourself to do little things to take care of your emotional and mental wellbeing

I went on a mass unfollowing spree because 3/4 of my feed were lolitas I once admired for their coords who now turned into people with serious hoarding and shopping addiction problems who don't wear lolita anymore and radiate pure dumb bitch energy.

Thanks Anon, I still plan to go. Just hope my confidence it up to par to not come off as a guy trying not to be an autist.

As for the 'depression' thing. I don't like how easily people label themselves with it when its really just being sad, and also why I don't like associating myself with it where I can. That said, I should be fine. I've been in worse states but to talk about it would be too off-topic. And to seek professional help would.
1; Out my situation to my parents, family and friends.
2; Speculation of self-harm and suicide gets thrown around
3; Potential suspension of my firearms license from medical records which I need for re-enactment purposes.

Anyhow, I'm blabbering on too much now. I'll be fine, just preparing myself for the next month of my down period. Cheers for the message though, appreciate it.

I've always admired classic/goth Lolita but settled with just rocking the metalhead look. After losing a lot of weight the last year I decided to wear something nice to a con, I've never worn a dress in public before but seeing myself in the mirror made me literally cry from the realization I'd never actually liked what I saw before. I'm almost 27 and never used a mirror for anything but a quick brush in the morning; I can't believe how much something like this was able to affect my self esteem.

My friend and I both want to cosplay the same popular character for our next con.

It's not a super big deal t b h but it kinda sucks that she always seems to get what she wants all the time- but she's also closer to most of the people in our group than I am.

Try to stay occupated! It's super fucking hard, yes, but try to latch onto at least one conversation. If youre busy listening, you can get away with smiling at the one who is talking. You don't really need to say much, either. Just ask them questions about whatever, and people will start talking. From there, you can start building up a security and then move on to invite more people into the conversation, or move on to talking to another group.

I have a tendency to be very scared of making mistakes in social situations, especially with groups. The literally only thing I've been able to make work for me is this. Even if I'm sweating with fear, it works the best for me.

I'm a guy who met a guy who was completely my type, super pretty guy, we dated for 4 months and all was well then he dumped me out of the blue because of his depression. I believe him because he had been seeing a therapist before we entered a relationship.

It's been almost two months but it still hurts. We started as friends but idk how to "restart" as friends or if he even wants to.

We made plans to go to Anime NYC and Anime Boston together but now it seems like it's not gonna happen. I really just wanted to spend the autumn together and check out conventions together. He was gonna cosplay Link.

I probably shouldnt be looking so early post breakup for people either, but it's a feeling you cant help. Idk what to do

I liked his personality alot too. I probably should have mentioned that.

I have met up with people my physical type before but they gave me bad vibes so I didn't carry any further with them. But he my ideal not just physically.

I realize now that I need to not compare whoever I date in the future to him, that will be tough.

honestly so many reasons?

boy1 was my best friend for literal years, and lived 1 minute away from me. no joke. he’s a reformed b/tard and we’ve seen and helped each other grow as people. grew up in an abusive family and his parents are basically my parents. he’s been nothing but dedicated and loving to me since day 1, and he chased me for years before we started dating. he held me after every heart break because even though he liked me, i was his best friend before everything else.

boy2 is this fucking crazy successful person, to the point where i have to be careful w how i describe him to the con community bc i don’t wanna dox. he lived really far from me, maybe 13 hours? when i was rlly active in the con community we would see each other irl maybe 15 times a year? he’s also older than me, 8 years or so. we would talk on the phone almost every day for a long time, and he would sacrifice so much sleep during his work days so we could have time together. he’s always been very introverted like i am, so we connected like that.

during an especially rough spot where boy1 and I weren’t talking, boy2 essentially saved my life. it was after a con and i just had a falling out w my two closest female friends and broke up with my gf at the time, i was incredibly depressed and had just ordered some stuff to OD on. He didn’t know the extent to how bad I was doing, but that’s when we really started getting closer bc he was the only person I had. He was the one who asked me how many spoons i had that day and knew exactly how to cheer me up. he’d call me when he had an awful day w some customers and he’s just really a kind person.

boy1 has helped me through so many depressive spells before as well, too many to list and even less I remember. i don’t wanna talk poorly about either of them, because I truly felt they were equal.

i think the biggest thing was boy1 and i just had so much more history and we were closer in distance and age.

This may come off as rude, but take it the best you can, it's my honest opinion from the info you've given on the situation.

You're young and confused and are just going through natural experiences involved with having strong feelings for a first time/having an adult relationship. You're still in the honeymoon stage with B1, don't even consider marriage yet. 90% of relationships that occur before the age 30 end because you will go through so many serious life changes in your 20s and every year will be a wealth of experience that will turn you into the person you are destined to be. These feelings you have are normal and you're not the first to experience them, so go into whatever relationship you have now hoping for the best but expecting it to end and understand that there's always someone else out there who will make you feel great and one day you'll be a smarter, more experienced person and will know when they're right for you. If you're having the uncertainties that you're having now without even being past the 1-2 year honeymoon stage of a relationship, then it'll most likely end, but when it does you'll feel good about it because it'll just be time. Focus on yourself, don't put too much stock into B1 or B2 and enjoy what you can while you have it, and when you don't enjoy it anymore, move on.

My local comm is really small and some members are friends with each other but I think most of us are just acquaintances who appreciate the same fashion, so I find it really strange that some of them refer to the comm as a “family.” It’s almost like saying we’re some kind of sisterhood cause we share a hobby, it’s weird and cringey to me. For me it takes a while for me to consider someone a friend, let alone “family” and I honestly consider one or two comm members friends.

Just accept that by virtue of being 19, you are already cringe. So is everyone else. Talk to people interested in the things you're interested in, ask for photos of cosplayers from series you like, just don't be a dick and try not to be a creep.

You don't think that comes through in your tone or mannerisms? I think you need to do some serious reflection and be honest with how you look to other people rather than just worrying about how awkward *you* feel. If a person feels awkward themselves, it easily cascades into making others feel awkward around them.

Everything you're saying makes it sound like you want a girlfriend for the sake of having one. That desperation shows through whether you think it does or not. You also need to think about what you're *actually* looking for in a partner and recognize that there's a very high likelihood you won't be able to see that from the surface. Once you realize that you won't be so invested in making the perfect first impression and you'll stop giving off the creep vibe that you seem to be giving women.

You're definitely missing the point and contradicting yourself. See >>10255082.

Notice how you keep putting this fictional woman in terms relating to how you see her and what *you* want out of it. Relationships are two-way streets; if you want her to give you "interaction" (you don't really seem to have an idea of what sort of interaction you want either), she needs more in return than being "appreciated."

The worst relationships I've ever had were based on just "appreciating" one another. When it came to filling in the other person's gaps or doing things together, we often found we had little to help one another with and often little in common as well. The best ones I've been in had "appreciation" come from the recognition that we each had unique, complementary traits and interests. I'm a pessimistic, pragmatic person who values loyalty to an extreme degree. Dating a jfash seagull who had an extroverted, upbeat personality kept me positive when I needed it to be, and I was stable and steady when things got too hectic for her. My current girlfriend is an artistic, abstract thinker whose outside-the-box views help me see things I normally wouldn't, and she loves how realistic and practical I am with my approach to life in work and play. I didn't start having these good relationships until life threw me into the dirt and I had to really define what sort of person I am for myself.

Right now, you're giving me (and I'm sure others) the vibe that you don't really even know yourself that well, and the way you write suggests you're looking to latch onto someone who can help define you. That's a very poor trait for potential partners. You're not ready for a relationship. You need to focus on figuring out who *you* are before you ask someone to like you, even just as a friend.

I recommend getting some wholesome guy friends or some dudes you feel you can connect with, because I'm getting the feeling you're intertwining multiple different types of attraction without realizing it. I've done that too, but after I did what I'm recommending you right now I mellowed out.

I really do want to be able to have that personal attachment, and to be able to make her very happy.
I understand that women are very different, but there is something to women who are interacting with me in this way, and if it isn't that she shares an interest in me, it's that she is friendly and extroverted enough to start talking with me. I know that isn't enough to start a relationship off of alone, but it is enough that it has hard not to show it.

Women aren't that different when it comes to what they need from a long-term relationship. Imo the main difference is that men are less aware of what they actually want. In the beginning they tend to be way too enthusiastic, and then lose interested in the relationship when the honeymoon period is over and realise they don't want a long-term relationship with her after all. Whereas women are more in touch with their emotions and needs and since they know what they want from a partner from the beginning they play the long game.

when I said that the were different, it was in response to >>10255082
that they want to be liked individually.
what I am saying is that I think I am justified in liking their different personalities, since they all have traits that I like. I think I am "in touch" and reflective, and honestly despite being unable to get a girlfriend, I am glad to be on "this side", in that if women approached relationships like (apparently) men do, I think I wouldn't want a girlfriend.
but as far as I have heard, as long as she doesn't stop being attracted to me it will be great.

I understand what you mean but I got help in your sense of getting helped (read: getting converted, act like your biological sex, whatever) and everyday was more and more miserable and painful no matter how hard I tried. I cried and begged I don't wanna be a fucking tranny. I still wish I weren't, but it is what it is.

Then I got help in terms of going to a trained psychiatric, psychologist, sexologist, etc team to assess my situation, see if it was a fetish or not, crossing things like dysmorphia or anorexia off the list, etc., and after 6 years, me and partially them basically said fuck it, okay, yeah it's a fucking tranny. That's enough. You wanna know what helped?
My help was/is doing hormonal therapy, transitioning, etc and finally feeling happy and comfortable in my skin and finally being able to wear/shop my precious burando happily and all that shit and finally live my life free like a normal fucking person.
I just wanna fucking live. In peace. I come here and to meets and to cons to talk about frills and cosplay, not about my genitals and my low blood pressure.

I understand there are aydens and predators hon sissies and more and more people are taking things to the extreme and licking trannies boots to earn that "speshul lgbt ally" badge and I feel you gull.
but try not to generalize too much too, ok? at least a little bit? how would you feel if i generalized you too as a lolita as, idk, some stereotype like "ddlg fetish fashion girls like i saw in TLC"?
