Did you let your bf know you needed the car at all that weekend? Cause that would mean you're at fault there. But he sounds like a fucking douche.

No one has the right to make you feel like shit. The people around you are supposed to enrich your life and your significant other is supposed to support you.

I would go and find some people that enjoy my company and didn't treat me like shit. I know that is easy for me to say. But you can do it. Don't let fear hold you back. If he really felt for you he wouldn't let his friends treat you bad, take your car the whole weekend or come back with such a dumb comment.

he did know I needed it, but didn't believe I'd actually leave the house since I usually cancel my plans last minute because I'm generally scared.
my /cgl/ friends have been really supportive and messaging me constantly and I've finally gotten to a point where I am comfortable and know these people enough to spend a day with them.

He knows I don't like his friends, and I tell him if the ignoring/interrupting gets out of hand I will say something, something from the heart.

he just told me "please don't do that, then you'll get ignored because everyone will think you're a bitch."

Better to be ignored for an opinion you have than for your race.

Don't let these people disrespect you. There are other ways of making a stand besides saying something. Don't hang out with them. Don't let them in your house. Don't loan out your car if they are going to be driven around in it. It's your time and your car. I wouldn't be wasting it with people who were arseholes to me.

Idk get friends who aren't racist shits? They're not obligated to find you attractive but they shouldn't be fucking ignoring and disrespecting you.
Agreeing with the other that you'd be a lot better off dumping this asshole and finding better company. It might be difficult at first but you will be so much happier when you've found people who actually appreciate you and don't take advantage of you.

He has repeatedly shown that he doesn't give two shits about how she feels. He's not asking for her to help him with being more sensitive - based on context, it sounds like "these are my friends, bros before hos hurrrrr you don't like them you can leave."

And OP, you should leave. He's neglecting your social needs and isn't making an effort to support you against his friends.

>last boyfriend always made sure to make me feel included even if it was awkward hanging out with his close knit group of friends

You shouldn't even have to hang out with his friends in the first place - they're his friends, not yours, ignore them all you want. Who cares if they think you're a bitch? You don't owe them anything, you don't need to impress them and nor does he. If they're his friends they should be supportive of him.

Also, it's your car so you get to do whatever you want with it. Don't be a pushover and assert yourself.

His friends are shitty to both you and him because they're also disrespecting him by disrespecting you. He's also a shit because he lacks integrity and doesn't seem to care how you feel. Altogether, they don't seem like worthwhile people.

>> No.7817741

My best cosplay friend, who happens to be black, is becoming a rabid sjw person, but only in relation to black people, everyone else needs to stop being so sensitive, according to her. We used to have a lot of fun tearing shitty costumes apart at cons (to ourselves, obviously, never insulting the person directly because who the fuck would do that). It's always been construction based rather than physical traits, but since she's started acting this way, if I call out a black cosplayer on their crappy materials or construction, she gets offended and says I shouldn't talk about them that way. Then she'll turn around and shit all over some non-black person's costumes no problem. I just sort of rolled my eyes through our last con because I didn't want to start drama over something that stupid, but the next time it happens, I'm going to call her out on being such a huge hypocrite.
Sorry, I just needed to vent a little.

Has he got parents or family that can help him out? Can he move back home? What about welfare?

You probably need to make it clear to him that you're not in a position where you can financially support him at this time and he needs to do something about it, whether he gets a job, moves in with his parents/family/someone, or goes on the benefit if he isn't already.

He has no family support. He was raised by his grandparents who, when he has work, constantly ask him for money to pay their bills because they spent a few thousand on expensive car parts instead of their electricity. He has no father, and his mother prefers to pretend he doesn't exist -- she even recently asked me if, on top of everything else, I could add him to my cell phone plan so she didn't have to bother with it anymore. I'm the only one willing to financially support him.

He's way too proud to go on welfare, even though he's really the most qualified out of any of us to be on it. Recently I brought up applying for food stamps just so we don't have to worry about putting what little income we have towards food, and he begrudgingly accepted the idea, so hopefully that works out.

It would probably kill him inside if he had to move back in with his family, which is why I've been fighting so hard for him not to. But I just can't keep it up if he's not doing anything in return to prevent it from happening. One of our roommates has promised to help him with rent this month one last time, but if he hasn't found work by the end of next month I think neither me nor anyone else here is going to help him out. It's awful, but he's in so much debt to all of us already, and I think he's beginning to become dependent on our money... it makes me sick to think about, but I don't want to be dragged down forever by him. Own life to live and whatever. Even if it hurts me at this very moment, it'll be better in the future...

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with telling him you cannot support him anymore. It doesn't mean you don't love him, it doesn't mean you have to break up (unless he's shitty about it or you're overly nuturing to the point where you're going to ruin yourself taking care of him if you stay with him), it just means you need to set boundaries financially and that you both need to recognize that you are not in a position that will allow you to care for him like this. You shouldn't have to sell the things that matter to you, and you definitely should not just stop taking meds abruptly because you're too busy paying your boyfriend's bills.

I say this as someone with severe depression. I understand losing jobs. I understand being stressed about money. But ultimately, he needs to take care of his shit, swallow his pride, and do his best to keep whatever job he can get. The longer you continue trying to support him financially, the worse it will be for both of you.

He doesn't need an ID to work odd jobs until his replacement documents come in. Have him look for handy work on craigslist or put up notices for any services he could offer locally (cleaning, lawn care, whatever). If he can get government/state assistance, he needs to do so. I think what you said in >>7817777 is for the best, about not helping him anymore if he can't find work by the end of next month. You can't let yourself become responsible for someone who won't help himself.

Sorry to preach, I just hate to see people in these crappy situations, especially someone as kind as you obviously are to have put so much in for him. Take care of yourself, anon, and best of luck to everyone.

>tfw you're starting to fall out of cosplay

I used to visit cgl almost everyday and this is the first time I've gone on in over 2 months now. I've started turning off posts from cosplayers in my area on my facebook feed, haven't touched any of my accounts and have been completely unmotivated when it comes to adding things to my cosplay lists.

It makes me kind of sad. I still watch anime and play video games but didn't think I would fall out of it at this age (I'm 21 and have been cosplaying since I was 16) but I'm just finding myself more and more interested in other hobbies and actually seeing cosplay as a waste of time and money.

They mainly asked where my dress was from, how much they loved the print, etc. I tried to mention that I had been at a tea party because so many said I looked like Alice in Wonderland. I think I only mentioned to a couple people that it's a street fashion. Though really, I'd rather have them believe it's an event-specific outfit than try to explain what lolita actually is, since others have assumed it's a fetish from just mentioning the name (and I can tell from their eyes that they never get past that). Wouldn't want a confused customer trying to tell my manager that I'm bringing a fetish to work..aheh.

If you love him and are commited, you can still be by his side and support him emotionally, and he should understand that you are not in a position to pay for him. Please take care of your needs first.

honey you might say "it's just money" but at this age you should really be thinking about your future. Why does he keep getting fired from jobs? Is it his fault? Do you want to have to support someone like this your whole life when it seems like you would be so much better off by yourself? Is he selling his things as well? I started to fall out of love with someone because they were completely lazy and I was the main money support, and they weren't even making an effort. Later down the road he showed even more negative attributes, and I got out of there. Now I'm with someone who's even more motivated than me, we take turns paying for things, and I know we will never be in too much trouble because we are both determined to have successful lives. It's about give and take and finding someone who fits you not only emotionally but in a practical sense. Does he?

There's a difference between confidence and introversion.
Introverts gets exhausted being around people for too long and need to be alone to feel better. No matter how much they like the people, it just happens.

To the anon that this is circulating around: Don't feel bad about going off by yourself occasionally, it's just how you are. As long as your friends realize and respect that you need it.

Eh, the inability to recognize someone is different from you and refusing to empathize with them is a key trait of autistic people, is all. It's also indicative of a low EQ. Low-EQ people make for terrible friends, extraverted or not.

Luckily you can teach yourself to develop your EQ, and that makes you better friend material. Things like understanding other people's problems and issues and helping them find good solutions.

I'm probably just going to have to suck it up and do a later prelim, but that's going to mean driving from here where I go to college, because I just found out the prelim that's held in my city probably won't be happening this year. And I don't have a car here, so I'm going to have to bum a ride from another king. And the completion is going to be stiffer.

I can relate. If you're going to be away from home, bring something that can make you feel comfortable and safe. Like a plushie, blanket, fragrances, as long as its something that makes you feel comfortable.
For me, I take my sketchbook everywhere even if I know I'm not gonna have time to draw. I know its there and it makes me feel safe. If anything weird happens when I'm out, I can just go to a corner (or hotel room) and start doodling whatever I want. It brings me back to myself, so I can become my own comfot zone. I believe feeling safe and comfortable is crucial for people like us.

As someone who's very introverted, make sure that you get some down time. I once went on a five-day trip with a large group, and after 48 hours I was so exhausted that I just told my friends I wanted to explore a bit on my own, and went off for a whole day. Felt hella good, did it again before we left. There's no reason you have to stick together all the time. You can teach yourself to handle longer periods of time though, start off with just hanging with one or two close friends and go to a movie for two hours, and then slowly build up the size of the group and duration.

Similar feels. I get along with the opposite gender just fine unless I'm attracted to them, then the spaghetti usually, but not always, drops. Don't get too confident on the whole charming thing though. Being nice is awfully easy, keep this in mind when thinking of self-proclaimed nice guys who can't even get that right. If you're not stupidly attractive, having some kind of interesting/useful talent, whether it be humor, romantic poetry, carpentry or alligator wrestling might set you ahead of the pack.

What reason do you have for not bringing up your issues with the course/job with your parents?

What's stopping you from moving out on your own and taking a different course? AFAIK it's the student's decision if they want to leave the course.

Don't deliberately blow your savings, you'll be broke and homeless.

Probably not the best time to go to that, for one. Two, I think there's better ways to learn those skills than one of those kinds of barely useful "academies" of dubious credentials. Three, fame will fuck you up. Don't you read drama threads?

English Philology. I'd rather be doing pretty much anything, but I think I could do good in a maths-related degree , in another language which I actually don't hate, or I have considered being a cook as well.
I have already talked with them about that; they do know that I hate the degree, that I dislike my colleagues and that this is causing me several distress but they will warp our situation so it looks like it's my only option.
I can't move out because as soon as I attempt moving they promise me they "will start being nice" and if I don't fall for that they take my money away. I can't live on the streets because I have an illness which makes me highly unfit for living on the streets or alone for that matter.

Can't because as I am living with my parents they will read all correspondence which arrives with my name on it, so they are aware of my bank account and pin.

Um, sorry if my english is misleading but I meant English Philology, as in, the study of the english language. The story of why did they force me it's basically:
>Dad works in an airport so he knows a shitton of air traffic controllers. He has been told that they work like 1 day a week and they earn 3000+ € a month.
>He knows I'm kind of fluent on English.
>He asks his air traffic controller friends and they tell him that you have to study only 1 year of any language course, English being preferred and then go to an special boarding school in which they pay you to stay.
>Dad sees $$$ could be made out of this, goes all "DAUGHTERCHAN U GOING TO BE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER"
>Shit goes on about that on or country, and nowadays you have to pay a good chunk for that boarding school and air traffic controllers don't earn half as much
>"DISREGARD THAT DAUGHTERCHAN. I'M NOT PAYING THAT MUCH FOR U. U ARE GOING TO STUDY ENGLISH ANYWAY BECAUSE IT'S CONVENIENT, THIS WAY U'LL LIVE WITH US AND WE CAN CONTROL WHAT U DO!"
Camping the mailbox it's difficult as when the mail is delivered I'm in Uni already, but I will research about the private P.O box. Also I'm not sure about that option in our country as everything has to be on paper here.

I just got back from the worst con I've ever been to.

Most of the cons I've attended have been smaller scale and about meeting people who are into the same stupid shit you're into. This one just felt so... soulless yet professional. It was bigger and fancier, but it felt like it was more about making money than meeting new people.

It was just kind of depressing honestly. I got really excited and hyped for this and it just turned into such a letdown.

English? Sorry to say but for a student of English philology your English is awful. English students in my country are incredibly well-spoken and need to work with a big vocabulary in order to graduate with a passing grade. Where are you from?
Also why do you let your parents do this? My helicopter mother used to do the same because she "knew best" and eventually I started hiding things from her. Try to get a place in a dorm.
>>7818722
Please apply to study elsewhere or abroad. I used to want to study English as well but the degree is a joke and if you don't shill books you wrote to your students or teach privately for peanuts, the only thing you'll be able to do is wipe your ass with the diploma.
Even business is better because with business schools they usually force you to do internships and, at least in my country, you can study law as your masters afterwards or get hired in a bank.
Also air traffic controllers are very few, and you're responsible for s fuckton of people's lives daily. It's a lot of stress and in airports they hire only a handful of people. The odds are against you.
>>7818751
Yeah that's stupid. Americans are trying to push the same shit in my country as well, "I'm born in an Anglo country so I can just waltz in anywhere in the world and they'll BEG me to teach them English! :DDD No matter that I have zero experience with their mother tongue, the problems they might face nor do I know how to actually teach, but hey!

I live in a different EU country (a poorer one at that), but the account access information isn't sent in physical form unless requested (especially since it's fucking unsafe to do so and if a country still does that, I would leave it ASAP). You really should go to a bank and ask them all the details about how it's done.
All of my finances have been in my control since I was 16 (in a big part thanks to having narcissistic parents like yours). In this age, it's really not that hard.

Other than that - if you have more than 50% of the time for acquiring your degree remaining, I'd change it to something else ASAP. If not - soldier it through and search for translating jobs on the side (this and being an English teacher, while both requiring extra training, are the only jobs I can imagine for an English Philology student) or alternatively do some courses in fields you might find profitable in the future.

Also - move out and cut all of your ties with your parents. Your future self will thank you.

That's why I called her that. I just meant her attitude is sjw-y solely in regards to black people. She's always point out racism against blacks these days, which is fine until she's like "I want a war bonnet, they're cute, fuck Indians", for which I have called her out. I just haven't really said anything during cosplay bash times. I know she's always felt uncomfortable with her white family (she's mixed), but I never noticed anything like that while we were in school, and now she's just, I hate to say it, hypersensitive about the issue.

And no, I said in my post that we only make fun of construction rather than physical traits, pls2read. But if I point out the shitty construction on a costume worn by a black cosplayer, she gets sensitive and acts like I insulted the person instead of the cosplay. And then will make fun of someone else who isn't black's costume a second later. It's just stupid, I'm gonna bring it up next time, I was venting, blaaah.

My male roommate is turning into a selfish slob.

>never does his dishes and uses my dishes/pans
He has a sink full downstairs that he's been adding to for days. I guess eventually I'll have to be his mommy and nag him to do them once they start attracting flies.
>his room is a disaster
I know it's his room, but it speaks a lot to me that an individual chooses to live in disorganized squalor. I tried sprucing up my room last night and he patronizingly told me that cleaning was a 'Sunday thing', except for the fact that he never cleans no matter what day it is.
>he mooches me for my bud/booze/car
He never gives me money for bud since he doesn't have a job and lives off his prepaid campus card that no doubt his parents paid for. He constantly asks me for shots out of my vodka (I don't drink much so seeing me with ample alcohol supply makes him jelly). And he begs me to take him places since he doesn't want to walk anywhere and has no car. Oh and interestingly enough..
>he's pretentious as shit
One of those boring, not-that-smart guys who TRIES SO FUCKING HARD to sound intellectual.

Last night he begged me to drive him to a bar. I complied even though I worked all day and had no real desire to drink around a bunch of loud fucking freshmen.
After he kept me there for almost two damn hours I told him I was leaving. He even said "hurrdurr anon don't worry I can walk home, go ahead." Yet not 15 minutes after I got home, I got a drunken phone call of him begging me to pick him up from some park because he didn't actually want to walk the 2 miles back.

Then when I picked him up he was bawling about how he had to "dumb down" his conversations because apparently all women are so fucking stupid, and if he is his "intellectual" self then everyone calls him an asshole.

I don't get it, really.
He's an overweight, below average dude who watches anime yet he acts like a frat boy reject with a chip on his shoulder about women when in reality HE is the cause of his own misery.

its like going to an orgy and seeing one of the people at your work the next day, you dont want it to happen

that and I'm not shitting you, every single woman I have met at a con that i later met outside of a con, has been a gigantic insufferable cunt

Seriously, FUCK male roommates who don't do chores and expect girls to do it because their mothers did it for them.
For the past few years I've roomed with a couple male roommates, and I always notice that the ones who bitch the loudest about feminism, or the ones who expect girls to be stereotypes in general (ie cook for them, clean, be sweet), are also the ones who expect their female roommates to do the chores & dote on their asses.
Gee, must be convenient to hate on girls who don't do their chores for them since it fits the fucking rhetoric.

I had a misogytard roommate who was so bad once that he seriously believed that guys messing with female birth control so they can get prego was "a myth in my head." It was also no coincidence that he ate my food, used my dishes and wouldn't clean them, and left his pube hairs all in the tub.

You know those jokes about Italians living with their mamma? We do the same. Most people here own at least some property and their children live there until they get married or get enough money to move out. Which is easier said than done because rent here is sometimes as much as a salary and electronics, games, branded clothes (even h&m-tier) etc are expensive due to import tax and universities Jew the shit out of you (one of my teachers literally said "if you buy my book I'll raise your grade" with a straight face and some students actually DEFEND her because "easy grade man :D").

Food is thankfully cheap, though, but games and clothes cost as much as in the rest of Europe so lel pay up or go naked, goy.

Depends on what you mean by pond scum. Some algae reproduce sexually, some don't. Cyanobacteria has three different methods of reproducing asexually. Pond scum can consist of both algae and cyanobacteria, so it may or may not involve asexual reproduction, depending on the components.

At your age though(assuming 17 since you said you are almost 18), you should focus on finding a job, spending as much time out of the house as possible, and getting ready to get the fuck out of there as soon as the clock strikes midnight on your eighteenth. Good luck sweetie!
