I never understood how someone can't enjoy drugs. Some drugs and alcohol, yeah, cause they make you feel shitty. But how can a person not enjoy free dopamine ?

[Anonymous No.10666535]

>>10666533
I'm sure I'd enjoy drugs as a physical experience but I refuse to do them. Because of morals. I hate what drug use means. People use drugs to substitute happiness to allow them to tolerate a reality that as a totally sober person they would not tolerate. It makes people believe that this reality of being sad and stressed is normal. Which means people will never desire a change in their reality when they can just take more drugs when things get worse.

Same reason I dislike alcohol. It's just another substitute for happiness to keep people placid and tolerate otherwise intolerable conditions. I feel the same way with the ubiquitous prescribing anti-depressants. Humans have the ability to be happy and we should be happy naturally.

I thought I was asexual, but I had a dream recently where I was having sex with a hot stranger, and I feel very ashamed of myself for enjoying it.

Just don’t be a dick.

Also, you don’t have to actually believe in something to be a part of a religious community if people are kind of liberal, I’m not a christian, but like to go to the parties thrown by my local church, they have good food and sometimes it’s nice to go to a party that doesn’t involves drugs or alcohol

[Anonymous No.10668172]

>>10668129
I don’t think so. The first step is admitting that there’s a problem more than anything else. I feel like complaining about an issue just leads to nowhere, I’ll take a recent example I saw a few months ago.

There’s like this one person in our social circles who keeps complaining about how she’s lonely despite having an online boyfriend and how she has a dead end job at target, can’t get anywhere and she’s pushing her mid 30’s. So a few strangers gave her practical advice like how to set up a bank account, get a car, how to advance up the job ladder, etc. Standard text book shit that just led to her whining and making excuses about how she couldn’t do any of that. I fucking kept out of that issue because I’ve personally dug myself out of shit situations before, and my first response is always self intervention before anything else. Anyways this fucking person went on a FOUR FUCKING DAY LONG THREAD bitching about her life and side stepping practical advice to a point where a buddy DM’d me going “you got to fucking check this out bro.”

I think what makes it worst is that she tried to petition me for advice on how to make props for cosplay and the only thing I could tell her was “get a real job, cosplay is the last thing you should be focusing on if you can barely pay rent.” And she was just taken aback by it.


Anyways I don’t disagree with bitching being a form of venting but I strongly believe that if you want to improve yourself or move forward, the first step is realizing that there is a problem. Second is obviously setting up a game plan and the third is learning that failure is fun and that you pick up new tricks to make your game plan work. Then you realize self improvement is literally the best / worst korean mmorpg you’ve ever played.

Another person but I've liked someone for 11 years and feel like I should confess last saw or talked to them 5 years ago, confession is a form of sexual harassment though but when I see anime characters make a big deal out of it I want to do it too, anyway don't even know if I like them anymore but still have a little want to confess.
Anyway not cgl related

Somewhat cgl related was a person who was friendly to me at a con almost ten years ago and I kept thinking about them for years and then I met them at a con maybe three years ago they didn't remember me but even just seeing them was a powerful experience and I cried a bit and wrote about it on /cgl/.
Not really a feel though.

(Different anon here) Pining over the hoes of yesteryear is not a healthy mentality. If I had to pin point your problem, it’s that you’re not proactive enough with your approaches. Do you fear rejection from a girl? Because being told no isn’t a bad thing, after awhile it just becomes second nature to go “Hey, I think you’re pretty neat. I’m interested in getting to know you more.” rather than just orbiting and watching yourself get cucked repeatedly because you didn’t try.

[Anonymous No.10668520]

>>10668481
I don't know, I haven't really felt the need to confess. Maybe fear of rejection is part of it, but another is how it may affect my relationship with everyone I know, they would certainly talk about it. And it'd reveal that I'm attracted to people and of that gender, which is something I try to keep hidden to make it harder to guess who I'm attracted to and so that people won't dislike me or be suspicious of me for having romantic feelings/not being asexual.
And I just know they'd say no anyway, they don't like me so it'd be more to get closure on my part.
And another reason may just be that I put it off, it needs to be the right moment, I need to be at home and feel like I can spend some hours on my bed crying, uninterrupted, maybe go for a walk, so it's a big time commitment if I make that phone call, anyway a phone call doesn't feel like the right way either. Then there's the morality of it, sexual harassment thing.

>>10668482
It's a bit complicated to explain. But basically, I reject the notion that sexual harassment is defined by how the victim feels. It's defined by actions.
Try to think about it from the angle of a woman who constantly has people confessing to her. She'd feel very bothered by it, from her point of view she's experiencing sexual harassment. That means each individual confession is an act of sexual harassment. Because the alternative would be that at some arbitrary number that the people who confess have no access to, suddenly an action becomes sexual harassment even if absolutely nothing changes.
Maybe I could explain it from another angle too, but basically, any expression of romantic or sexual interest is an act of sexual harassment.

On the reverse though, if you say hi to a woman and she feels sexually harassed, but you had no such intent behind it, then she was not experiencing sexual harassment, even if she feels that way.

Stop caring about what other people think about you. You’re attached to your friend circle because you not only fear rejection you fear being alone, or in this case you hate the concept of a rift in general. Are your friends really your friends if you have to masquerade around them a certain way or are they more of a convenient back drop for you? Because from what I can piece together it’s more of the ladder, rather than the former. Every human being has to make one gigantic gamble in their social lives in order to be happy, can’t just bank on being safe forever.

Thanks, but there are plenty of people who have faith in me and this is not the point.
I like to bitch about stuff, sometimes I bitch about my problems WHILE I’m solving them and I know many people who are like that. Of course only bitching and no solving as anon described is bad, but not allowing yourself to feel bad about crappy stuff and complain about said stuff, feeling the obligation to be positive about things in life no matter how bad is also not a healthy pattern.
You don’t need to stay optimistic all the time, if it comes naturally to you that’s ok, but if you are forcing yourself that ain’t it. Allow yourself to feel stuff and experience all the emotional spectrum, even the crappy side of it, then the good will shine brighter.

I feel like out of place, there are 4chan groups that always meet up and I think they all became really good friends. And now I feel like I'm out of place to join them. As I get older I feel like I become more of a hermit. I don't mind being alone, just from time to time I wanna join a group. It's also difficult because most groups friendship or circle usually drink together. But I don't enjoy drinking or smoking. I just wanna vent. Thanks.

>I reject the notion that sexual harassment is defined by how the victim feels. It's defined by actions.

That is the most retarded thing I've read all week. This is suggesting that sexual harrassment is an absolutely objective law of the universe and is a scientific process.

>She'd feel very bothered by it, from her point of view she's experiencing sexual harassment.
And she's wrong. Also you just contradicted your own viewpoint a second ago that sexual harrassment isn't defined by the victim.

>That means each individual confession is an act of sexual harassment.
Confessing that you have feelings for someone isn't sexual harrassment unless you, the confessor, make it sexual harrassment. If you say, "Hey I have romantic feelings towards you and I would like to take you on a date if you feel the same way." That's not sexual harassment. It's sexual harrassment if it's repeated or if it sexual in nature, i.e "Hey I think you've got a good body, want to go on a date?"

>any expression of romantic or sexual interest is an act of sexual harassment
You need to get outside more. If you think this, you genuinely need to see a psychologist, I'm not being condescening or facetious, you have a problem with how you view yourself and others.

> if you say hi to a woman and she feels sexually harassed, but you had no such intent behind it, then she was not experiencing sexual harassment, even if she feels that way.
And now you just contradicted yourself again.

First you said that sexual harrassment is a universal law, regardless of the victims feelings.

Then you said that sexual harrassment is defined by the victim.

Then you said again that sexual harrassment is not defined by the victims feelings.

Get help.

[Anonymous No.10668825]

>>10668657
Yes, actually but that was also due to a lot of other reasons.

The anxiety thing I dealt with by taking propanolol, practicing deep breathing exercises, and learning coping mechanisms.

It can help a lot to pinpoint the root of your anxiety and first try to think of all the pros and cons about dealing with it.
Then think out at least 3 different ways you could tackle the problem. You may also think out the pros and cons to those solutions to help decide which is best for you.

Ex: I'm anxious about quitting smoking because it's too hard.

Pros to quitting: improves health, expenses are cut, I smell better
Cons: it'll make me irritable, I'll miss it

Ways to solve the problem:
Substitute every other cig with nicorette gum until I run out of cigs then only use nicorette until I run out of that
Slowly wean myself off
Quit cold turkey


Also, mindful awareness can really help if you're in a bind with anxiety. You can try to observe your surroundings and count all the things that are a certain color, shape, sense, etc.
Listening to music I love and paying extra attention to the sounds and lyrics help me a lot too.

Good luck anon I hope any of that helps and sorry for the blog post gulls

Wellbutrin aka Zyban aka bupropion. It's prescription but your insurance wants you to stop smoking so it's probably cheap.

Don't even know if I can call them friends, I pretty much never am in contact with them and destroyed my relationship to the only person who showed any sign of wanting to keep in touch with me.

Formerly, I've still had some opportunity to meet some of them once in a while, though, and that's a reason to try to keep the relationship as good as possible. But as the time between each interaction gets longer and longer, the value of keeping them gets lower and lower, so I may be somewhat closer to wanting to risk it all than before.

The gamble wouldn't really have any payoff other than making me feel something for a while and imitate anime characers, I don't think it'd actually lead to happiness even if it'd give some satisfaction of being open.

>>10668600
If you accept that sexual harassment exists at all, then you have to start with what can give feelings of sexual harassment, even if feelings aren't always correct.
And what is the most typical things that causes feelings of sexual harassment? That's being approached. So we can start from there. On an individual basis, feelings of sexual harassment isn't the truth, but the feelings still give us a statistical basis to define sexual harassment from.

Anyway, I think I'd redefine it slightly differently, I'd rather say that "any action or behaviour motivated by romantic or sexual interest is sexual harassment". Confessing would fall under that, but it makes it clearer that for example staring is also sexual harassment.

I realize that most people wouldn't say this is true, but it's the only logical and fair way to define sexual harassment.
The discussion should be what levels of sexual harassment that's okay to do, that people should accept, rather than saying all sexual harassment is wrong. Maybe we as a society should accept the sexual harassment of confession, for example.

[Anonymous No.10669261]

>>10668600
>>10669259 cont.
So even confessing might not necessarily be doing anything wrong, even if it feels that way because it falls under the umbrella of sexual harassment. In that case, I'd need to learn to accept that it's okay to do things that are classified as morally wrong if done in small amounts.

>If you accept that sexual harassment exists at all, then you have to start with what can give feelings of sexual harassment, even if feelings aren't always correct.

Yes and no. Sexual harassment isn't defined by the individual but by what is deemed by society. Hence why the definition changes over time and across cultures.

>And what is the most typical things that causes feelings of sexual harassment? That's being approached
That's 100% your own opinion and completely your personal subjective view, so that's a horrible starting point.

>The discussion should be what levels of sexual harassment that's okay to do, that people should accept, rather than saying all sexual harassment is wrong
Sexual harassment by definition is unwanted sexual attention. The key is whatever society deems "unwanted" and "sexual". Hence why, again, the definition of sexual harassment changes over time and across cultures. Harassment is a subjective crime made up by people to ensure a stable society, not a universal law.

I’m so mad at myself for thinking I could fit into a cosplay while knowing my measurements have definitely fluctuated over the past year. I’ve totally been in denial. Granted the cosplay is genuinely small to begin with (the size small had measurements about 30-22-34), I’m still so angry that it barely fits and feel like a whole fucking potato. I’m so short that I look like a troll and it’s been difficult to lose weight. I heard weight is harder to lose when you’re not technically “overweight” but still, fuck.

A fat friend has started asking where I get some of my taobao lolita stuff like blouses, mainpieces, and legwear and I don’t know how to tell her that I think she’s too fat for any of the things I’m buying.

But it isn’t just that, she’s started to make comments about weight and comparing our bodies. We aren’t the same height and I don’t know her exact weight but she’s visibly obese while I am on the slim side of average. It makes me really nervous because I don’t want to hurt her feelings. I don’t care that she’s fat, it doesn’t change my feelings about her as a person. I’m just nervous if I make any comment on her weight like agreeing with her that objectively she could stand to lose weight for her health and that it would be easier to find things to fit into that she’ll freak out.

If she’s into Asian fashion at all already, she might know that many brands do the “one size” thing which is basically a size small. You can try to gently tell her that TB only really has stores with brands that follow that system, and ergo items from there wouldn’t fit her. That way, it’s not you saying “you’re too fat for my clothes” and more “due to systemic sizism in Asian clothing, these brands aren’t going to have anything that fits you.” That way, you can shift the blame/uncomfy feeling from you to ~the world at large-

Just tell her that not only does this fashion not accommodate larger sizes that the community itself does not accommodate larger sizes. Even if she could somehow coax a dress onto herself, the community would rip her apart if she tried to engage in it.

> I heard weight is harder to lose when you’re not technically “overweight” but still, fuck.

It's not. That myth comes from when morbidly obese people cut down from 10K calories a day to a more normal 2.5K calories a day. The sheer size of that calorie change means that rate of weight loss is also very large.

It's not any "harder" to lose weight. The rate of which you lose weight changes because if you already have a low weight, there's only so big a calorie deficient you can actually achieve. If you're consuming less calories that you use in a day, you will lose weight. It's literally that simple.

I really want to be a vtuber but have a hard time deciding between a chill sweet comfy vibe with a lolita and other jfashion loving artist character that mostly attracts other girls or a coomer-bait gamer girl. Probably kogyaru inspired.

I'm sure every idea or persona under the sun has been done already though so no reason to stress over it.

Online maybe. Irl it depends. There are loud and quiet types of fat people. Jfashion interested ones might be the loud types.

When I was fat as a teen, if people ever acknowledged it even if they were trying to be nice or say I wasn't that big or was still pretty, I just responded as they'd expect me too but cry about it later if it was something mean. Some fatties are actually really worried about being that negative stereotype any more than they already are. It's why so many fat girls eat less or a salad in front of people and binge and gorge on junk alone. Cause they don't want to seem to have more of the bad fat characteristics. Anons friend clearly has low self esteem with the comparing bodies and stuff, doing their best to be honest but polite and kind will likely be the best influence on the friend.

Yeah, I'm aware of how basic metabolism works, thank you. It's hard to achieve quick weight loss around my weight because eating less calories a day (when I've already been sticking to >1000/day) is only going to push my body into a frenzied "gotta save every bit of fat" mode because it'll think food isn't available. Would dropping down to, for example, a 500 cal/day diet *eventually* help me lose weight? Sure, but I'd first not lose any weight at all for months because my metabolism would shut down and I might end up earning myself an eating disorder in the process. I guess I'm just lamenting that unlike someone who's obese, I can't just half my calorie count and expect the weight to melt off immediately.

I guess it’s a stupid and 1st world thing to be sad about, but I can’t help but feel disappointed at how much my Instagram account has died over the past year. I used to get like 35% likes to followers ratio, now I’m down to like 10%. I know this is just algorithm bullshit, but it makes me feel like there’s something wrong with my costumes or the pictures I post, even though I know I’ve only gotten better at making costumes. I’ve always had a small tight knit account mostly made up of people I’ve befriended at cons. It gave a nice sense of community to post something and see all those familiar faces (or usernames) interacting with my stuff. Now the vast majority of those people seemingly don’t see my posts, and there’s nothing I can do about it besides sacrificing my time and sanity trying to please the ever changing algorithm that nobody truly understands. And there’s always that feeling in the back of my mind that maybe this decline is because my costumes don’t look as good as they used to, or my pictures aren’t nice enough, or whatever.
I’ve never tried to have a big account with a lot of followers or anything like that, just something naturally grown throughout the years as I’ve met other cosplayers. So it’s sad to see what I’ve built up for so long regress into such a poor state.

I know everyone has their own goals in the cosplay scene, but you shouldn’t let the number of likes and feedback you get dictate how you feel. Everyone eventually grows out of cosplay or picks up a better hobby. Given the current climate we’re all in, I would figure that a lot of folks actually can’t show much interest or be motivated to work on anything given how weird about cons have been. Personally? I disbanded my Instagram, and I was one of the more helpful folks. It was fucking with my mentality so much to the point where I viewed my hobby as more of a job and that I -felt- like I needed to keep up with people across the internet. To a point beyond burn out.

I’m regaining my passion back for it, and it looks like I didn’t lose my touch at all, but I am going to say that you shouldn’t try and use social media as a form of validation. You, yourself are always going to be the worst critic of your own work but you should be looking into that as a way to motivate you to improve your craft. To be honest here, most of cosplay Instagram arnt the same hardcore cosplayers that used to exist back like a decade ago. It’s all mostly normie shit, but the hardcore ones who do appreciate the craft will reach out so I really wouldn’t worry about it that much.

Tl;dr - Instagram is not a viable source of your power level, just keep grinding.

Html is easy. My advice is get used to looking at the source of websites with inspect element and it'll start helping you identify what does what.

If you like something on a website, you can copy the code into your own and edit it to suit whatever you are looking to do.

I'm so ugly and fat, I look in the mirror and I just want to die. I've always been fat and ugly and now I'm getting older. I hate myself, I hate my parents for birthing me and subjecting me to a life of mediocrity. I'm 28 in November, I've never had a job, couldn't do uni and the only people who care about me is my best friend and boyfriend. I just want to be thin and pretty, thin and pretty girls have it so easy.

The nice thing about building a website is you can add more and more structure to it over time. Go through all of the basic lessons on w3schools.com and things will make sense as you look through source code. Additionally, just google your questions like “how do I add padding” or “how do I add a menu” and little by little you’ll build up a page.

You do nothing all day. Workout for fuck sake.

I know you types of people won't do anything unless it's all laid out for you.

Here:

1. Figure out how many calories your supposed to be eating, use this calculator and do not lie. https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/macronutcal.htm

2. Plan your meals and measure your ingredients. This is crucial because fat people always underestimate portions. Use this: https://www.eatthismuch.com/

3. Start moving. You need to get your heart rate up, none of this walking bullshit. Walking doesn't do anything, it's very inefficient and time consuming if you're just looking to lose weight. Start running or swimming/cycling if your joints are not good. Just get your heart rate up, that is key to avoiding cardiovascular disease.

4. Track your weight each week, then go through steps 1 and 2 again to plan your next week of meals as you will need fewer and fewer calories.

If someone is altering using 2-3 dresses they're usually trying to ensure they have enough extra fabric to take it to a seamstress and get it altered properly,
not what >>10672405 is saying. Taking things in can be done poorly too. That's why I take my stuff to a tailor. I can sew things from scratch but tailoring and alteration is a whole other skill and ballgame. The shitty alteration jobs are usually people trying to use waist ties when they're so big they need way more fabric than that and not adding fabric to the skirt to keep the shape correct or re-cutting the bodice at all. etc. But people are only using 1 dress for that, not multiple.

Someone in a DIY or craft thread posted a girl who really skillfully altered a Meta dress larger and was able to recreate the bodice well and make tons of very nice accessories with it. Idk exactly her size or how much bigger she needed to make it. But it's proof legitimately skilled people altering dresses the right way even if they're being made bigger is totally fine. I don't see my getting stuff taken in as any different than that girl's work, just different directions and going bigger being more work to obtain extra fabric.

Hack jobs and nice alterations are different and the fatties who have had proper alterations done you may not even be able to tell because many just "chubby" or tall people do them and once the dress fits flatteringly it becomes less glaringly obvious they are the wrong size for the clothes. Just like people don't realize how small I am or that my brand is altered because it's done inconspicuously enough that no one realizes the dress is normally decent but bigger.

But if you just don't want fat people in lolita that's your opinion. I just don't think alteration discourse ever considers that tons of us alter our dresses well in various ways. And you rarely see those ones secondhand because we actually keep them when they fit better. It's always assuming everything is the worst case

Yes because deathless use the waist ties and regather the skirt to the point its a tube and ruin the shape. They're cheap and not willing to pay for it to look good.

Like I said, people who get good alterations done are usually not the biggest and its not as noticeable and they're not the ones reselling butchered dresses cause they'll keep ones that fit.

My mum finally kicked my dad out and I'm so proud of her. She used to be a size 24 and she's lost so much weight in just the past couple of months with cutting out snacking, healthier breakfast and lunch and a bunch of cycling. She's so obviously so much happier and it's so good to finally be able to enjoy spending time with her, I had no idea how much he was just leeching her soul away.
I'm also finally getting to the root causes of my lifelong anxiety and I think I'm starting to make some real progress. I'm actually capable of feeling angry purely for my own sake for the first time in my life, rather than just accepting everything as what I deserve.

I’m the anon from last thread who was trying to lose some weight before the next con with an update!
Con’s tomorrow, got my 3-sizes from 35-27-36 to 34-24-35 (when flexing). I don’t own a scale but I’d like to think I’m at least 5 pounds lighter. Thanks for the advice, esp since I only had a few weeks to pull this off!

The thing is that I don't know if I could ever call them my friends. We were in a situation where we interacted pretty much every day and I did spend some time with them, but on the other hand, no one ever invited me in any birthday celebration, I was not asked to hang out with people, I was alone a lot, when we split and left the situation they didn't express a want to stay in touch, I was not invited to the reunion, I was never truly a part of the community. So there might not ever have been much there.
I have met some of them since though, but except the one person I was an asshole to, not in a really long time, except when they were with the person I was mean to at the same time as I was with them.
And the person I was mean to, well it wasn't the only time I was mean either. So it seems like I can't stop being shitty. Maybe they'd forgive me, but when I can't treat them decently I should stay away. At least I've apologized though. That took me a long time.

But speaking just of needing connection, I really wish I could hang out with one person I met at some cons and we've actually hung out after too, but I asked in December and we've talked a few times since without them suggesting anything so I don't know if I can ask again, wouldn't that seem desperate, I've already written something that could seem desperate to them, or maybe even just that it'd bother them and be annoying if I asked too often.
