The girl in the pic is wearing maid shit though, not lolita. Why do you relate it to you wearing lolita in public? Because some dude might think you're into some degenerate fetish because you're in a frilly dress? Guys do shit like this and worse regardless of what you wear, are you also not going to ever leave the house again?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to upset you further but you really shouldn't be so scared, and this is coming from someone who does wear lolita regularly with few issues. Men are creepers sometimes but they always are, it's not going to stop me from wearing what I love, and neither should you.

Lately I feel like I've gotten out of lolita. I can't ever find an excuse to wear it and so many new releases just look "bleh" to me. I know the right thing to do would be to just cut my wardrobe down to a bare minimum but I still feel so attached to all these pretty dresses I never wear, especially since I've been in the fashion since 2007 and some of my dresses are ones that I longed for for ages.

I don't even know if this is a bad feel, it's more of an apathetic one.

>> No.9962597

>>9962593
>I know the right thing to do would be to just cut my wardrobe down to a bare minimum
If you feel attached to your wardrobe then maybe doing this isn't the right thing for you, at least not right now. How long you've been into the fashion doesn't mean much as what you do with it; if you don't like new releases, don't buy them. The secondhand market is a thing, older pieces are everywhere if you know where to look. If your wardrobe is full of pieces you can't just wear whenever, maybe introduce pieces that are easier to wear.
If you feel like lolita isn't for you anymore that's okay too, these are just things to consider in case you don't want to actually leave it.

I'm sorry you are just coming to this realization, but you seem pretty new. Anything you do or wear is some guy's fetish. There are millions of women in the world who have to wear tarps on the most searingly hot days so men don't rape them, and some of them get raped anyway. Anything from the most pure and innocent to the most horrifying and disturbing has thousands or more guys that think it's hot. Men commit almost all bestiality, child rape, and sex crimes. Them getting off on frilly cute shit should really be the least of your concerns and is actually kind of almost endearing.
It's best to learn to ignore them and their thoughts and opinions because they're mostly garbage and their thoughts and opinions are also mostly garbage. Carry mace for if you can't ignore them. If you go to a farm do you worry about the thoughts and opinions the farm animals have? Adjust your expectations.

It's soul crushing.

Turns out the guy is a massive degenerate, he's fat as hell, long greasy hair, unkempt beard, horrible skin, dresses like trash. But he insisted that I look at this hundreds of pictures of girls wearing Mary Jane's and also videos of girls taking off their shoes uses their feet.

Maybe the cuts you're wearing don't flatter you? Too short or too long dresses, knee socks, dark shoes on light socks, etc. are some things that can make you look stumpy and strange. Also imo A-line is a lot more flattering than cupcake shape, bonus points if the dress' waist hits your natural waist which also tends to be a more flattering cut, unlike high waist cuts which don't work for everyone.
In any case, I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you find a way to feel beautiful and healthy again. Body image issues are a bitch and a half.

How do you know when you have a shopping addiction? It's hard for me to tell because I feel some level of guilt for all non-household purchases and the people closest to me aren't particularly good with money and will usually just say "treat yoself."

When did 4chan become Tumblr?

Why is it wrong to be tired of people constantly changing their genders and non stop posting virtue signaling shit about lgbt and racism. I don't care if someone is actually gay or wants to live as a different gender but let's face it that everyone labeling themselves that in the lolita and cosplay community are doing it as a trend and it is just tiring? They don't have anything else interesting going for them so they stick to that.

Job-purse anon from other feels thread.
I'm so close.

I called the business today despite feeling like a pesky idiot. Luckily the manager didn't seem put off. He actually thanked me for checking in and laughed. He said he will let me know either way by the end of Thursday. Hopefully tomorrow. I'm now wondering how many candidates they are choosing from (I didn't know the number would be large enough for them to delay picking people) and driving myself crazy over all the wrong things I might have said.

The AP purse I want is still available and I check up on it every few hours. Last night I was so stressed out about the whole situation that I cried and my boyfriend, who doesn't exactly like my habit of throwing money at dresses, told me if the purse made me happy, I should get it. It was a profound thing for someone like him to say. I think he understands how exhausting these small steps are for me, and how important the advancement to a nonretail role is to my self-worth.

I'm really trying to hold out though. I want that purse as a mark of "Hey, I did it. Remember that." I just hope it comes true.

It's not an ordinary persons place to determine what the best treatment for someone with a mental illness is. It's their place to assist that person in seeking help and keeping them from hurting themselves in the process. Yes, with schizophrenia it's a good thing to avoid playing into their delusions because that will eventually harm them. Whereas someone with gender dysphoria or some other gender/sex mental disorder I can't see their being much assistance in refusing to relieve the stress of the person by using some different words when referring to them. If their psychologist recommends that they refer to themselves by their normal pronouns, they'll pass that information onto family and friends.

Quite funny how you call other people out for 'virtue signalling' because they're not racist or transphobic as though that takes any sort of conscious effort while you sit there turning people away for their gender identity as though your morals are superior.

It really stings, lads. I have a deep love for that expo, but after all of the shit that went down I don't think it's healthy for me to keep going. A lot of my mates still work it, and that seems to be almost all that they talk about -in person and online- so I can't fully escape it, and honestly it's driving me mad.

I still find myself obsessively thinking of ways to improve the event, but after being stepped on, talked over, pushed aside, disregarded, belittled and ignored, I have kept my mouth shut regarding suggestions. What's the point of trying to help if you're just going to get pissed on?

I wish I wasn't so fucked up about this. I want to get back to feeling happy and positive about the expo, and I know that will take time and distance, but it's been so hard, especially because of what a big role it plays in my life. Feels bad, man.

No wonder she ghosted you, going to someone’s house to “chill” is a very intimate thing to do in this day and age. The term “Netflix and chill” exists a reason.

I'm sorry but this is the most delusional response I've ever gotten.

I'm not looking to "mutilate" my body, and believe it or not trans women are:
A: not looking to flash their dicks at every Cis-woman that walks their way
B: not looking to "rape lesbians", in fact a trans woman would never date a TERF? Like what would that do for them besides get them hurt
C: did you know that at one time people thought being gay was a sin and labeling yourself that was considered wrong and made up, a "mental illness" up until several years ago
D: also not the only trans people that exist, and surgery isn't a requirement for being trans.

So point of this is that just because you don't get what others go through, doesn't mean it's not real. It's literally not up to you to dictate people's bodily autonomy. If someone says they're a boy and they look like a girl, and they're respectful and nice, then fucking respect them. It's common decency. And if you become friends with someone and they come out to you as trans, be there for them and help them blossom into their true selves because all the anxieties and dysphoria feelings go away when you're in a supportive environment.

So eat my ass and die Karen

It's a larger percentage than that.

Never said they were a time bomb.

Never said they couldn't have children when they're ready.

It's not only birth defects they're going to have to worry about. It'll be harder to get pregnant, they're more likely develop gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, more likely to miscarry, and are at a higher risk of getting a c-section.

If the pro of waiting until they're over 35 (if they even decide to wait until that point. They never really said) outweighs these cons for them, then power to them. I hope that its a damned good job that'll pay for any extra expenses that could come up.

Also, there are people in the world who want to have a family at a younger age, like the original poster. Theres nothing wrong with wanting a baby sooner rather than later. I was saying to the OP that they should talk to their SO to see if they're still on the same page, family wise. Not to hurry up and fuck like rabbits to have them bebes.

Wanting a child is a perfectly valid and healthy life choice, as is not wanting to have a child. If theres a conflict, they need to get to the bottom of it and figure out if they can either work it out, or they need to part ways, lest one of them make a decision they regret.

As someone who was in the fashion (badly) since high school for similar reasons and focusing on school, just bite the bullet and invest in your future. My wardrobe and fun activities really took off after graduation and getting a career job. Plus you will ideally be making more money in your career job than in this crappy job. I know it seems like forever but college is just a few years. Don't listen to the people that say college is the best time of your life and the only time to party hard.

From a personal anecdote. I fucking HATE speaking to people. The sounds of another person's breath drives me to a bundle of self contained frustration.

But if I go to a convention, I'm dressed up and I put effort in that. People come and say "hey, you did a nice job on that." That's a completely different setting, and I'm in a completely different mood. Talking to people and generally getting to know them is perfectly fine, and I'm open to it if anyone started talking to me about stuff. It's when they demand your time, get clingy, or don't know when it's an opportune moment to shut up that things get weird. Long story short, even anti-social assholes who go to conventions should be willing to speak and potentially hang out with you. Only absurd elitist cunts or people already in huge groups would be against it.

>If you'd been drawing in your 20s and now want to cosplay it would be a bigger issue.
Yeah, this is true. That is at least a small consolation.

>But you can always draw.
Really? I have often worry it's too late for me to get good at drawing. I know so many popular artists, they are in my age (and often younger) and already pros. And it feels very bad when youngfags already damn good and I draw still like a noob. To be honest, drawing is much more harder than cosplay.

don't know if it helps but anon, I learnt to draw from zero and passed exams in the top tier architecture university in my country. It took me a year and a half but I was really into it drawing for eight hours per day every day. And I didn't draw for fun like making fan-art pieces or something, I actually spent the whole time studying academic basics and so.
Too bad I lost all passion during studying but it doesn't matter. I just wanted to say that you actually can progress really fast if you are actually looking for progress and take it a bit more serious than a hobby! Hope it will inspire you to do what you want to.

>>9966217
They said that I don't understand how this "become closer" thing works and I should think more about it. But for fucks sake I've read a bunch of "how to make friends" books and still have no idea what's wrong. I also often think that this is not even a problem that big because, ugh, a friendship shouldn't be forced and one day it will come naturally? I don't know I just feel lonely today.
