>> No.9890629

I just need to vent about this obnoxious underage cosplayer I was in a group with. About 2 or 3 weeks ago they complained on their Instagram story constantly about how they couldn’t afford to go to their senior prom and they begged people to donate to their kofi for like a week straight until they had enough money for prom. Then this past week they fucking went to acen. They live close by so I figured they would ghost it, but nope, they had a full weekend badge and stayed in a hotel. Then after the con was over, they posted their con haul. They bought a ton of stuff. The BARE MINIMUM they must have spent on all that stuff is at least $170. That shit just bothers me. How can you say you can’t afford to go to your precious senior prom, then turn around and spend that much on weeb crap?

I know a 32-year-old who begs strangers on FB and IG for birthday and Christmas presents and regularly reposts her wishlist, which is a Word document that “helpfully” (her words) lists a wide variety of potential gifts ranging from expensive to more affordable. The most expensive option is an all-expenses paid trip to Japan. She’s not a camgirl or a sugarbaby or even remotely e-famous, she’s a completely average overweight office worker who writes homoerotic SuperWhoLock fanfiction that nobody reads. And she actually thinks someone somewhere might be willing to drop thousands of dollars to let her weeb out in Japan for a few weeks. She fascinates me.

I found out someone I know who's very prominent in a friend group has been calling me a "stupid bitch" behind my back, and I don't really know why.
I've never gotten into any huge arguments with any of those people, and this particular person is civil to my face, so I just don't get it. Maybe it really is just that he finds me unintelligent and it irritates him just seeing me around, but 1) I've never had a shining moment in the group where I truly showed my ass and exposed myself as an idiot, and 2) I barely even talk to this person, since we have so little in common. We just sometimes chill in the same online venue and talk to some of the same people.

I'm wracking my brain trying to come up with an explanation for this person's vitriol, but I can't pinpoint anything specific I've said or done that could've earned their spite. Maybe because I have a high-pitched voice? Maybe any female they're not sexually attracted to, or haven't already monopolized in some way being a little too active in their space annoys them? I guess it doesn't matter, considering we don't actually talk. It'd worry me if he was spreading some poison to push me out of the group, but that hasn't happened yet (and in the first place, there's only a few people in it who I'd really consider friends). It's not as if I'm deeply affected by this, but out of curiosity, I'd like to at least understand.

I can't wear pretty clothes in the summer, I guess. I hate my life. I hate my life so much. I want to be a daily lolita and in the winter, I am. But in the summer, there's no way in hell I can. All I want is to dress in pretty clothes, but no. I think I'm going to kill myself.

I have a very bad overheating problem and hyperhidrosis.. a terrible combination. Even the slightest amount of heat can cause me to have a heat stroke. I don't know why I overheat the way I do, doctors won't tell me shit.
During the winter I can usually manage.. it's actually not 'hot' in my room at all right now, yet all the layers (really just a JSK and a blouse) fucked me up. It's been controlling my life for the past several years and really, I just want to die. I only feel beautiful and like myself in lolita.

I'm 5'6", 135, and I'm trying to lose ten pounds. I am also in the same situation as you, actually, where due to a previous ED, it's very difficult for me to diet like I used to. I started at 145. I'm getting there, you will, too. Don't abuse your body like you used to. That was the hardest part for me. When I thought of "diet" I thought of starving myself. That won't do. Slowly cut the bad foods out. Cut the ice cream a day out. Turn it into an ice cream a week. Try not to eat as many carbs. Replace a sugary drink with water. It helped to do all of this one step at a time instead of all at once. One thing you can do to reduce cravings is to make flavored tea. If I want something sweet, I'll have a cup of pomegranate white tea for example. Gum is also your friend.

I have the opposite problem. I keep wanting to do shopping hauls, but keep spending the money on takeout food and high calorie sweets.

After 6 months combined with this month's inactivity, it is starting to show. I weighed in at 122 on Tuesday. I've weighed between 110-115 for just under a decade. I use to never really eat fast food or takeout beforehand. I'm disappointed in myself, and the fact I didn't buy any clothing with the money usually reserved for frivolous spending.

I've been cooking all my food at home, walking 2 miles or so everyday, and not buying food (cake or cookies) I'm prone to overeat since I got weighed. I got a job interview tomorrow, and my SAP was good which means I'll continue to receive student aid in fall. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my shopping hauls done, and my weight down by the end of summer. I've got so much clothing which is lacking matching pieces.

Easy lunch is a lettuce wrap. It's just a sandwich with lettuce wrapped around the meats and cheese instead of bread. No carbs and the lettuce is like 10 calories instead of at least 200 for the bread. You can put it in a sandwich ziploc and keep it in your purse for emergency noms. Also emergency eggs are great. Hard boiled eggs are only 70 calories each and you can keep them in your bag.

I have the exact same condition of issues with both overheating and hyperhidrosis. Here are a few tricks I've learned to manage my symptoms.

>1.) Focus on damage control, first. Wear washable garment protectors, with camisoles being the best. You'll need several for different garments; long sleeve garments will need a longer protector, and shorter things will need one small enough to stay in place.
>2.) Wash any areas prone to yellowing immediately, even with protectors. This means pits, collar, and any other areas sensitive.
>3.) Always wear liners for your feet, to catch most of the moisture from drenching your shoes. For foot hygiene spray lysol periodically in your shoes to help them stay cleaner. Do not wear the same pair too consecutively because they need to air out. We are prone to fungal infections with our feet, so be very cautious and generous of products such as powder. Keep your feet clean.
>5.) Do not wear a garment piece you do not want stained without another piece of material between your skin. This means cotton camisoles over your torsos.
>6.) Carry around a small bottle of pure rubbing alcohol. Spray it on spots throughout the day to help cool down. Pits, neck, collar, wrist, elbow, back of knees.
>7.) If you're wearing a wig, then get a small reusable ice pack and put it under your wig. Carry around an activated one if emergencies arise.
>8.) Invest in some cute hand fans to compliment your wardrobe, but to help cool you down.
>9.) Obviously, drink lots of water. We lose a lot of our body water and we are especially prone to dehydration, and that alone can increase our chances of heat stroke. My favorite bottles are the camelbak Eddys; not particularly cute, but VERY functional.
>10.) Try to wear your hair up as much as possible. Avoid wigs when you can.

That is all that I can remember right now. I've been living with this for years that it has become almost second nature.

Because it's on the same level as a pornstar trying to pass themselves off as a legitimate actor. You don't have talent and won't put in effort and instead sell sex, so trying to pass yourself off as a legitimate artist is insulting to those who put actual effort and have actual talent. It cheapens what would be seen as a craft to "oh you dress up as bikini pikachu!"

I don't think you understand me. Just because he thinks I'm cute doesn't mean I feel cute 100% of the time. Having a loving partner isn't the same thing as achieving happiness.

When I'm around people I don't think about it too much, but maybe when I visit the bathroom and see my face in the mirror I just feel a pang of ugliness. Consider the image I posted in my previous post. It's nothing I can fix with makeup, it's just the shape of my jaw and how the muscles morph. I am able to hate it at times, but I try not to, obviously.

This is a board dedicated to very superficial hobbies and beauty related things. I myself got into this fashion because I enjoyed the happiness that fluff and frills instilled in me. No matter how well I dress my face will always be my face, so I'm looking for advice on how to deal with that physical part of me.

Regarding your hair - fucking go for it! I've had bangs most of my life, and what's great about bangs is that they grow out really quickly if you don't like them. If you do get them and for some reason hate them, you can always take prenatal vitamins for a few weeks to make your hair grow faster.

I've grown out a number of bad haircuts with prenatal vitamins. Just get ready to shave your legs twice a day.

It's because they dislike women using only their sex appeal to gain momentum. Yaya Han totally used her sex appeal, but she was also a great cosplayer. Nigri's Lollipop chainsaw cosplay was a good cosplay. From what I understand, most are just tired of Nigri doing sexy armor warrior. It's super cool to see well-done cosplay of sexy characters. I also have no issue with people doing sexy photos in cosplay for cash. However, the quality is lacking. Fuck, if you have to charge more to have a better quality costume and set-up then do so. My only issue is most of it is trash. It'd be nice to see some quality stuff.

If I see a great IG picture of a Starfire costume, someone from Kill la Kill, or any other risque design from a series I like, then I'm going to like the picture. I think it's more complicated then just girls getting angry at other girls for using their sex appeal.

Anon, dysphoria is awful. I think you should try to set down the social media or avoid looking at model/lolita pages for a little bit, it can make things worse. And I know the feel of bf not getting that, but he just wants to support you and he cares about you it seems! There's not a lot of advice I can give beyond stay positive and remember that you literally can't compare yourself fully to others, especially in a beauty sense.

Try doing exercises where if you start feeling shitty about your looks, tell yourself (even if you don't believe it) that it's in your head and that you ARE pretty. Even if you don't believe it, eventually it'll get through to you subconsciously and it'll make you feel a little better.

I'll try to give some advice. It sounds like you think you are ugly, but everything in life would prove you are not ugly. There's what is considered conventionally pretty, and it is almost universal. I'd say that is exaggerated in most J-fashion. However, it isn't limited to J-fashion. There are people who are unconventionally beautiful. There's much that goes into facial attractiveness including symmetry, complexion, and whole proportion. Therefore, some people are beautiful despite their face deviating from what is typically seen to be beautiful.

You cannot be conventionally pretty, and even plastic surgery generally won't work since it's the combination that makes each feature work. It's very expensive to change your whole face. I don't know if that part made sense, but I hope it does. You just have to learn to work with your face shape. I will say hair is very important to alter the appearance of the jaw no matter the shape. If you see people with your face shape, and they look good... think about what it is that's different. You also can still think about makeup because what works for most people aren't going to fit you. You might need to leave some things out or even do stuff you wouldn't normally do. Sorry to ramble.

come on senpai, you're just not looking in the right places. you should try and find staples from custom places or western designers, like nice tailored pants, blouses, and jackets. then get accessories and shoes from J brands if you can. no matter what your size, you can dress in your dream style. some people just have to put in extra work. I'm a 5'11" gril with broad shoulders, I'm talking about 18in from shoulder to shoulder. If my hips weren't also wide I'd look like a looming, menacing triangle for sure.

A keto diet is going to help with that unending hunger and low blood sugar issues. You will lose the weight by keeping your carbs low, your body will be satisfied with the nutrition, and contrary to how freaked out you might feel about what and how much you get to eat, you'll be satisfied longer/faster with higher fat/protein foods and it will help you eventually go longer stretches between meals. I used to get shakey and headaches and it was awful. Eventually your body stops requiring as much as it used to while it was unhealthy. You have some really bad issues with food timing/possibly insulin resistance and yoyo-ing between eating too little or enough will just exacerbate it.

not at all. don't go by weight, but your measurements. shoulder width, chest, waist, back width, inseam...you'll need to know these by heart and you might be able to find brand items. it'll be trial and error, don't be afraid to get things altered.
you want to make sure your pieces are tailored correctly for your body. you don't want anything tight. do not settle for items if they are too tight.
ouji is a youthful fashion, and it may be easier to pull off more mature styles with a bulkier/broader body type, because they usually hide more. but! I think if you're clever about what works on you, you can do it well.
>p.s. you and I are the same height and weight
>I've no firsthand exp with ouji so I'll help out best as I can

I wouldn't do short-shorts if I were you. you likely have thick thighs so puffy pants that taper at the knee would be best. you want to elongate your torso if you got a lil tummy: vertical stripes, long fancy jabots, long waistcoats preferably with nice coat tails. vest+nice blouse and good pants is a good look if jackets and coats ae hard to get fitted at first. get nice accessories and hats from brands!!
look into nice vests and frilly jabots to pair with knee-length balloon-type shorts. nice, long boots are a great investment.

look into what styles, motifs, and design features slim you visually.
good luck!!

You need proteins if you lift and everyone should lift. Fats are 9 calories per gram as opposed to 4 for carbs and proteins so be careful with fat as it's higher calorie. You do need some fat in order to incorporate vitamins that are fat soluble into your diet though so moderation is key.

Approach her one day and tell her you love her style, maybe ask what her inspiration is or if she's regularly involved in fashion. If she dances around the subject of jfash, bring it up yourself.
>it reminds me of the Japanese girly style, you know the kind you see in magazines and such, it's really cute
Or something like this, just so she's aware that you're clued in. I'd advise against bringing lolita up unless what she wears regularly is similar to it.
Just be mindful to approach her when she isn't busy and be genuine, that's all there is to it.

I don't want to burden them. I know it's never going to go away, I've tried so hard and they think I'm better. I can understand how exhausting it would be to constantly have to worry about someone and having to walk on eggshells around them especially when that will be for the rest of your life with that person.

Plus I'm the older sibling. I'm meant to be there for her, if I start crying she won't have faith that I'm able to help her.

Anon, don't do that.
I had my share of depression too and medicaments only made me worse. My doctor didn't help and my family wasn't giving me any support on that, thinking that I was only 'being lazy' crying all day in my room.

What made me better was to try small new things everyday. I bought a diary and started writing everything good that happened with me that day: a blue sky, a nice song, a good taste I experimented etc. No bad things, only the good ones.

I changed my doctor and started another type of treatment that was more fit with my style of life.

I volunteered myself to work with people in need to find myself more useful to society and to feel that I could make a positive difference in the world.

I started eating only natural things and stopped consuming industrialized shit to keep my body healthier.

And, of course, I started taking more tie for myself. I spent most of my free days at a park, watching people and writing literature and poetry, which usually make me feel better about myself. I started to learn new hobbies and shared a bit of my problems with online friends (the real ones were shit to me).

So, don't give up.
It was very hard at that time, but now I'm glad I wasn't successful on my attempts. If I was, I wouldn't be able to experience the amazing things I can today.

I don't know about your beliefs, but if you have just one life, it's better to make the best out of it. Just don't throw it away. I'm around the feels thread sometimes, so feel free to vent.

Right here anon. And haven't done anything to myself because of my Mom and my (older) sister.

Reminding myself of the good things in my life helps me get by day-to-day. Work is also really busy so I've been getting up extra early, working hard all day as a distraction, and using the OT money to buy burando. I know retail therapy is temporary and not a great solution, but when I'm in the pits knowing I have a package coming in the mail gets me through day to day.

I'm also going to follow some of the advuce from >>9893541
Keeping a diary of the positive things that happened each day sounds like a really nice idea. And I might try to find some online friends I can chat with since I no longer have any IRL friends.

This was me 5 years ago except I have a younger brother.

I am currently somewhat better thanks to a combination of a good psychologist, psychiatrist and I think in the end just perseverance. The most helpful thing for my overall recovery has been the CBT sessions, and actually doing some of the "general life" suggestions from my psychologist. Meds got me to the point where I could function but that was basically all they did, they didn't make me better just more functional if that makes sense.

Currently I still have bad days and my first response to any upset is still to imagine how much better it would be if I was dead, but I'm generally mostly okay with being alive now and my default setting is no longer passive/active suicidality. My family can't get their heads around the fact that there is no "why" for my depression, so have never really been able to support me because their thing is "well how can you be depressed anon, so many others have it harder than you" "just suck it up and get over it you don't really want to kill yourself"

So please keep going. The "ache" is still there but I cope with it better now and have more days where it doesn't bug me all day or I can push it away, it does get better.

You asked for it so here: it's going to be okay

On a more relevant note, as someone who's also dealt with this shit (particularly the car part... All it could take is a flick of the wrist) my reason for not following through for a point was simply how much effort it takes, particularly if you still need funeral cover, to become an organ donor, a decent method that won't leave you paralysed in a wheelchair for the rest of your already miserable life etc.

One thought that did help at my worst was simply scheduling a concrete date to go through with it, in maybe a week or even a month if you can bear it, and see how you feel when the day comes.
More often than not that was all it took for me to decide to postpone, even just another few days, while also preventing me from making decisions based on pure emotion. And in those few days, even if I didn't do anything but lay in bed for days on end it didn't matter, as far as that part of me was concerned it'd all be over soon, whereas occasionally my survival instinct would kick in, I'd make another psych appointment or make even the smallest effort to better myself and gradually other good opportunities would arise and I'd occasionally find myself looking forward to tomorrow.
I think this site here really hit home for me http://lostallhope.com
but remember this is anecdotal unqualified shit I'm spewing, but that's what you're after coming to the feels thread I spose.

Hey anon I know it's hard. I actually got out of the hospital less than two months ago because I tried offing myself. It's more painful than you think it is. Emotionally, mentally, and physically. I slit my wrists and choked myself out, and I remember getting found by my roommates and closest friends, blood all over me and my room. Getting out of the hospital was the hardest part of I'm being honest, seeing those people crying with happiness because you're still alive. It gave me more hope and more understanding of the people around me. Funerals are expensive, even if you donate your body it costs 1000+ dollars to preserve your body and that's something else I think about a lot. People who care and who I love would have to deal with much more than me dying. It's an awful process. If you think you need it please check yourself into a hospital. It's not fun, I won't lie but I got the help I needed. Check your local hospitals for their mental health programs, see which is the best. If meds aren't helping you, then it's quiet possible you're either on the wrong meds or you are lacking a supportive environment or yore lacking certain key nutrients that help brain function. You'll be fine even if it doesn't feel like it now and I believe in ya anon-chan

>oh god, okay, i'll just look up "nileperch" maybe people are just abusing the tag

what has the western world done to fairy kei? the childlike prints and imagery have been replaced with soft gore and neons. Decora has suffered a similar fate, but decora seems more suited for american audiences. Also this demi-boy trend still bugs me, thought it would be over by now. I'm not sure how people think just because they cut their hair short and don't shave they pass as men. How do you not end up with massive dysphoria wearing pinks and pastels and skirts and dresses?

I now understand why lolitas are so strong about the rules. Tumblr makes everything uggo. like pastel goth, christ.

the brolita tag is also that way. You go in there and it's a bunch of women with short dyed hair wearing lolita. How do you wear that without feeling dysphoria???

>> No.9896229

>>9896216
Kids think that fashion has no rules, guidelines or definitions, and if you say otherwise you're an elitist snob. Likewise, they think they can be trans without dysphoria, just because they say they are, and if you imply otherwise you're a bigot.

I'm sorry this happened to your favorite style, anon. If it's any consolation, at the very least you can wear it how you like regardless of what most everyone else is doing.

I'll never stop wearing fairy kei, but it's going to be harder to find inspiration now.
Rules are necessary, but sometimes it amazed me how tight up people were about the rules of lolita when I first started, but after seeing this it really made me realise it's about preserving the fashion, not about keeping people in a box. People think it's about being elitist, but it's because we love the fashion so much that we don't want it to suddenly change into something terrible.
I don't think people can be trans without dysphoria. If someones trans without it, it gives them the liberty to switch back to female at any time. these people shouldn't be able to take up time and spaces because they claim they are a guy, even though they make no effort to appear as such.

Anyways i'm back on instagram and it's been kinda hard on me because nothing on there is really real. So much photoshop, holy shit. Plus i found out melanie martinez is using lolita as an ageplay thing. I feel like this is a dark time for the fashion. Sorry for this whole rant, i'm just blown back because i've been away so long and everything feels more different than i expected. At least /cgl/ is mostly the same.

Oh wow, you really have been away for a long while. She's generally stopped wearing lolita and focused more on vintage baby-like dresses and actual adult baby shit, and then she's been accused of rape a while back so many of her fans dropped her, so she's not really relevant at all anymore.
If anything it's a dark time for Japanese street fashion because Kera and the GLBs are out of print (the former is available in digital format now), because some brands have completely closed their doors or are about to, and because an overwhelming number of people wear these styles on "special occasions" and then defend their decision to wear alt fashion like cosplay, so you don't see alt fashion on the streets anymore.

My friend group, and specifically one of my closer friends dumped me because I became cripplingly depressed (crying every day, unable to get out of bed, not able to eat etc etc etc) and their excuse was "We tried to help her." when in reality all they did was ignore my request to avoid a specific topic that caused the depressive spiral and told me I had to face it (despite my therapist telling me the exact opposite when I brought it up.) I'm in recovery now but losing my entire friend group at one of the lowest points of my life, really hit me hard. What's worse is one of the friends is a youtuber- and about a month-ish after it happened they made a really terrible video about depression, straight up packed with stereotypes and misinformation.

>I get physically ill if I don't give into the cravings, I puke and my body temp rises until I get something in my body besides water

Sounds like me when I'm low on iron. Consider whether your nutrient needs are being met. Supplement if you have to.

You may also want to consider that you should probably try to endure your body's withdrawal symptoms. It sounds like you have issues with binge eating based on your weight and height (not trying to offend) so unless you genuinely feel like you're about to die, try to let your body heal itself and don't give in to your cravings even if it's uncomfortable. Much like a chain smoker feels physically ill if they don't get their fix, an overeater and/or chronic junk food eater will go through much of the same experience. Drink plenty of water but not too much, get your nutrients in, SLEEP and get lots of rest during the times you feel like crap, be aware of your triggers to overeat, endure your body's unpleasant symptoms for a few days while consistently ignoring your cravings.

If it still doesn't get any better or if it just gets worse, then I would see a doctor about it.

Here is my self-projection of the reason to chime in with everyone else's:

People with a propensity to hate on a woman who is beautiful and knows it, are intimidated by them. It's the same situation with neckbeards who hate "Chads" only the gender is reversed. They know that if they walked into a room next to those types of women, they wouldn't be able to compete with them. Sexy women who know they are sexy and use it to their advantage are braver and more confident than the average human being. Hence why most people are only onlookers, either gawking in admiration or scoffing in feigned disgust, desperately looking for flaws to feel better about themselves.
