I've gotten shit multiple times for deleting the tumblr comments of others.
I reblogged it for the image, or the information not
"HOLY FUCK WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE MORE NOTES LOOK AT THIS NOW"
"OMG FUCKSLUT26 CHECK THIS OUT"

if something says "if you don't reblog this I'm judging you" the chances of me reblogging it is now 0

despite being in a circle on tumblr with my 4chan buddies and some other blogs I like, I still get stupid bullshit.

(Medical issues.) God, I hope I can see her next week. She set me up for a psychiatrist last week too, but I had to cancel that. (Family w/ medical issues.)

Just kind of fucks with your confidence when in your eyes it's one of your best works but no one has a single nice thing to say about it.

I've always been super encouraging to people who draw. even here in the draw threads at times and friends who are just starting out. I've had a lot of art ventures fail (even zomg Riot contacted me once only to eventually never respond to emails..) so I just feel incredibly shitty.

AND it's like the only thing I'm *decent* at, you know? Everyone has their thing and mine was drawing but it's clearly not even good, why am I doing it? I'm sick of working at things to have them fail miserably.

Hi there! I'm that anon that always complains about their roommates. If there has been a post on a /cgl/ feels thread bitching about roommates, 9/10 it was me. Recently, though, all of the roommates I've had issues with in the past have been getting along great! ... except for two of them. I'll use the names I used in a previous post, Harley for the girl and Joker for the guy. They are dating.

>all current drama stems mostly from Harley's bitching about EVERYTHING
>house isn't clean enough to her standards, while she sits on her butt and plays vidya all day
>everyone bullies her poor precious Joker. His self esteem is SO LOW because we are mean to him. His mental problems are all our fault
>She constantly criticizes and demeans all of us, especially my boyfriend who is ~*~the meanest~*~ to Joker because they are (former) bffs who rag on each other
>has made it clear to me, the only other girl in the house, that despite calling me her only female friend would prefer to drink alone locked in her room than spend a day hanging out with me
>also discovered that past drama with roommates involving me and the bf almost getting kicked out was caused entirely by her convincing the guy who writes the checks that we were causing all of the infighting between the 'mates
>so giant bitch basically
>Joker is just a lazy whipped asshole who has everything handed to him on a plate
>got a nice job by basically sitting around for a few months while someone else convinced his boss to hire him
>despite this easy lifestyle, has been fucking up his job opportunity royally
>falls asleep and texts Harley nonstop while working (he's in construction btw so that's great)

Had to sell one of my dream dresses for the second time in 3 months just to break even with the bills, rent etc

Every time I get extra money that I think I can use on lolita or games something comes up, one of my housemates just told us due to a mistake with the bills etc we owe the utilities an extra £250 each when just started saving for tetpc event in september

stress from bills, having 2 family members pass away in the space of a month and the 1st anniversary of my dad passing away just past last week I'm super stressed and its cause me to relapse with my ED.

I'm receiving anon hate on tumblr for using the plus size lolita tag and not being "plussize enough" when I have a bmi of 30.

It's getting really hard to put on a fake smile and pretend everything is going great to the rest of my comm as I don't want them to worry. I'm not having the best of times at them moment cgl.

Somewhat different view. The cosplay/j-fash/weeb stuff is only worth the dime if it's something you really want and would really make you happy.

- With cosplay and j-fash you need to invest some time into making it look good, bought cosplays need a bit of tweaking, wigs need to be styled, jfash clothes need to be coordinated or you'll look like noob. If you don't have the time to spare, it's entirely ok if you simply like looking at it and admiring it, but don't want to wear any of it yourself.
- On the other hand, if you do have the time, want to do it and think the experience would be fun (hassle and all), then now's the best time to do it. Like >>7707954 says, once the bills roll in, you may not have this much freedom to do it.

- every weeb shit you buy now, you will have to pack up and move with you. Keep that in mind every time you open shopping tabs. If it's not (a)limited, (b)highly in demand (so it will be more expensive later), and (c)something you want very badly, it's better to wait until you move, then you can decide whether you have the space for weeb shit.

- con badges: Take a good look at the convention schedule and ask yourself whether any of the experiences are something you would really enjoy. If you have friends you want to meet, panels you want to see, favorite artists coming, a desire to photograph as many cosplayers as possible, then go for it. The badge is a small price to pay for the experience.
If you can't figure out why you want to go, save yourself the money and stay home. It's not like not going to a con will make watching anime or playing games any less enjoyable.

Seriously, this, get out now while you still can. Even if you have nobody but your father after, someone like him adds nothing good to your life. It sounds like you fell for him in the first place because you're insecure about yourself and he was the first person to tell you you're beautiful. There are plenty of other people who'll think you're beautiful and won't threaten you with violence, but maybe you should work on your insecurity issues before you jump into another relationship.

[Anonymous No.7708600]

Get out of that relationship as soon as possible. If he's abusing you mentally (by insulting and berating you) and acting violently it could become even worse. At least your father will support you, and you can work on making more friends to deal with your abandonment issues after you get out.

Omg I know that feel, anon. I broke up with at least two exes because they can't understand that I literally can't talk every single day, even on facebook. My most recent ex would guilt trip me into talking by blaming himself that he wasn't good enough and generally make me feel worse.

What I did was have a long talk with them about how much to communicate each day/week. I usually try to push for a middle ground of chatting three times a week and a 'good morning/night' text every other day. If that's not good enough, I just drop them. I think people who need to talk every second are kind of clingy and I detest clingy people.

I realized I wasn't putting any effort into my academics. It's almost mid-sem, so I might still be able to recover, but wow, I've wasted so much time already.

Also, a bit bummed out that I didn't get in to my school's ultra-prestigious literary publication. It would have really helped with getting writing gigs and getting published after college, since publishers in my country tend to be really cliquish and the publication would help me get contacts and shit. Also, I'm starting to think that my writing isn't good enough, which sucks because it's just about the only thing I could do.

Sorry for my bad writing(hardy har har) at the moment; it's 1am over here and I haven't had sleep since I started college

It’s not always easy to find a partner who understands an introvert’s need for downtime. Neediness is my dating kryptonite. If I sense that someone needs their hand held constantly or is a possessive type, I run like the wind. That kind of relationship requires a lot of external attention, which no matter how exciting at first, ends up being a drain.

Person who uses CGL and is very interested in social issues, here. CGL is one of the only places with any semblance of standards regarding lolita and cosplay, and one finds things here related to those two topics that are not so easily found on the english web (and the web in general). The translated issue of Otome no Sewingu 1 comes to mind.

Anyway I have strong principles about treating people fairly despite any immutable, physical traits of theirs. What I consider to be immutable seems to be quite different from what a lot of CGL considers immutable. For example, I give a lot more weight (hehe) to the moderate immutability of things like body type and skin color than a lot of people on here. Yes, you can go on a super rigorous diet and exercise plan for 2 years and lose 100 lbs. Yes, you can get whitening jabs and be a few shades lighter. Though your state can change, it takes a tremendous amount of effort to fight your body's natural tendencies and I have much kindness for people who fall out of conventional beauty standards for these reasons. I also just see many body looks as aesthetically pleasing in some way, which seems to be an uncommon take on CGL. Might have to do with my life-long love of figure drawing and drawing in general.

I hate myself for being such a loser when I see my socially adjusted friends posting nice photos and experiences on social networks. I try to make myself feel better by saying that I'm going to a really nice uni right now, don't spend a lot of money, etc but I still feel like a loser. I don't get it, I was/am a good kid and generally the ideal kid for a parent to raise yet why do are the people were jerks to me seem to be having such successful lives and having fun with friends?

I used to be half joking half serious about the whole "2D is my only love" thing but I recently realize that I meant it all along. My family has pointed out (not accusatory either, but just stating) that I don't seem to like people or going outside since it's really exhausting to me. My sister has even said the cliched "you've closed your heart off to people so it makes it hard to reach you". I was always someone with a few close friends rather than a lot, but in the end I feel like the only people I like and the only people who like me is my family (and even then I feel shitty about it because it feels like they were forced to like me).

I feel like an angry-virgin-aspie sometimes whenever I see people talking about how their favourite character is the shy, reserved closed off one and how they'll always protect them - especially if it's a dating sim charcter. I can't help but feel like people say this, but in irl they'll go for the qt charismatic girl (which I don't blame them, but it just seems hypocritical to me). But I relate it to myself and wonder why no one ever tried going for "my route". Going by my lifestyle, I was raised to have the Yamato Nadeshiko/ojou-san personality and have been told I have a pretty face. But I dress and present myself pretty slovenly (it's exhausting when I'm not wearing comfortable sweats). So I guess it all stems to my self-esteem, attitude, and presentation. (1/2)

I just wish there was someone who would honestly put an effort to like me since I feel like people I'm friends with only became friends with me because they wanted to befriend my friends initially.

I'm an adult yet I feel like I haven't grown from my childhood fantasies yet. I just want to wear a really nice lolita coord, feel pretty, go to a nice quiet cafe with my ouji-sama, and go on a ferris wheel at night together or something.

I was into cosplay as a teenager. I made some pretty terrible cosplays, but I had a lot of fun doing it. When I got into college, I started getting pretty good. I got better at sewing things cleanly and learned how to dye my own fabrics. I also got fatter in college, unfortunately. In my senior year, I met my boyfriend, a furfag. I had been secretly into furry art, thanks to sfur threads on /b/, so I went to a furry convention with him just for kicks. I was HOOKED. I HAD to make a fursuit. Hell, I want to make tons of fursuits! This is freaking great! Best of all: nobody cares what you look like underneath. How people judge your appearance in suit is 70% on craftsmanship, 30% on performance. Nobody cares if you have bad teeth, blotchy skin or thunder thighs.

So why am I here? I lurk /cgl/ in hopes that one day I'll lose my college pudge so I'll be able to cosplay human things, too. My diet and gym routine have been good lately, so maybe next year I won't be singing the same song.

3-4 years I got interested in lolita fashion. I started with simple gothic wardrobe. My first BL dress made me so happy and I was very proud of it. My outfits were black or black with other color, very simple and modest, but I feel like I was looking way much better back then. Then, 2 years ago, I made my bank account and I started to spend HUGE amount of money for burando (as for girl from eastern europe). I bought dresses, tried them on and then I was selling them. I've became a spoiled brat who can't respect hard work or value of money. And of course I got fat(ter?). Now I have like 12 dresses, everything is in different style (sweet, classic, red color, pink color, florals, prints) and even if I try to put an outfit together I feel like I don't look good enough, something is still missing. I don't have any space for new dresses, I'm moving out soon, so I'll have to sell most of my clothes, but I bet noone will buy them.
Also, I feel sad and lonely because my father died and I want to buy more clothes to cheer myself up.

Yes, i have some friends but most of them aren't where i live so i go out not really much with a friend, one of my friend is worse than me about this too. At times i feel the pain of not being chosen from someone i can like because as you have said,usually they prefer cute outgoing and charismatic girls and also with some sex appeal, while me prefer to dress in cute fashion, not sexy or normalfag styles. Maybe it's just me who hasn't find the right guy, even alternative boys who dress in goth or jfashion give me this feedback. I go still to university, hoping to graduate next year but i procrastinate a lot, also for some depressing or aspie feels they won't go away. My only hope to have a social life is to create a local jfashion comm, i'm doing this with the help of another girl, i can't wait to make super cute lolita or fairy kei coords in picnics, restaurants, anime cons and so on.

I am a huge dumbass.

I have the reputation of being the "nerd/smart girl/bookworm" in my friend circle but the truth is I don't know shit.
Only reason people think I'm smart is because I use proper grammar, read(!) and speak several languages but in today's society a sped could do that too, especially the way I did it - basically watching cartoons in English and French since childhood and being able to imitate accents.

But I haven't read a lot of classic literature, I don't know shit about western history and politics because I was educated in Eastern Europe where the classes were basically an Orthodoxy circlejerk and "we did nun wrong 101". It would take me years to learn everything from scratch.
I suck at math, I am supposed to be good at writing but I suck at that too, the languages I speak I only speak half-assedly, I am shit at every instrument I have ever taken up. I have no practical skills either, nothing to put on my resume, no talent other than shitposting on 4chan and I'm not even a NEET.
Even the languages I'm supposed to not suck at are getting rustier by the day and it's getting harder to learn them.

If you think you can't be sad just because other people have it worse, just flip it around. Why should you be happy if other people have it better? That's not a reason to not be happy, so others having it worse isn't a reason to not be sad.

Just looked over my feedback on Lacemarket and I'm a little bit annoyed. A seller I allowed to make a veeery lax payment plan through me (like, three low payments over a total of two months) apparently gave me like, a two or three star for being late shipping her dress. I shipped it out TWO DAYS after I said I would, which was originally supposed to be the day after payment. So three days after the final payment. And why did I ship it out late? Because work called me in for morning shifts those days that lasted till my post office closed, so I really had no other option. I kept her up-to-date with what was going on, and she read and responded to each of my updates. She also marked me a star or two down for communication.

Her written feedback was overall positive, even saying she understood completely why I was two whole freaking days late, but now two of my star ratings on LM aren't at five anymore. All over something so stupid. I jumped through hoops for this girl and this is how it works out? Maybe I just shouldn't accept any long term pps again, the most anal people tend to be behind them.

tldr; I'm bitching about lower star ratings I don't think I deserve.

What you need
> Top loading washer
> Oxyclean
> water

Directions
Fill washer with hot water
Use adequate scoopage of Oxyclean
Let washer agitate
While waiting make paste with Oxyclean and apply to stains
Let sit overnight
Wash on delicate cycle

Should be gone or super close to it

This could totally be done in a sink as well, but washer is faster if you have multiple garments

Take their advice, get better. I learned how to draw knees because for years everything I drew that I showed my dad he'd glance at and say 'doesn't have any knees.' Get ANGRY about their criticism, show them up by being the best you can be. I can draw knees like nobodies business now.

no, I dress normally. I'm saying that when backpacking, looking a certain way will be the lowest on your priority list and a shower the highest. Since you obviously haven't done it before, I am giving you advice in hope to make your backpacking trip easier, but you're being stubborn.

You'll be tired, you'll be sweaty, you'll ruin your nice clothes and won't have time to look kawaii nor will you be kawaii when smelling like roadkill. If you bring the clothes it'll just be extra bulk and weight, and without proper footwear you'll have a very bad time and lots of blisters.

What's helped me was drinking tea every time I had the urge to snack. Brew a big pot and it should fill you enough that you won't feel hungry anymore and/or curb your sweets craving (if you add honey/sugar). Either that or keep better snacks on hand, and never go shopping when you're hungry. Everytime you shop on an empty stomach, your brain goes "hey, you're hungry, you need twelve bags of chips!" and it goes downhill from there.

Oh, no, anon. You're right to assume I never did real backpacking before, but I actually have similar trips to this in other occasions, just never trails that took more than two weeks. Our settings are pretty comfortable, and that's why I said it was a "sort of backpacking trip". We have no plans of going rough and we'll only camp a few nights - and in nice camps, too - while all other nights we'll be spent at various hotels. It's heavy walking, yes, but still fairly mild activity compared to what you seem to have in mind.

I obsessively/compulsively pick at myself and don't know what to do to stop. I've always picked at things (chipped paint, labels, etc.), but it wasn't until my ex boyfriend pointed out how much I pick at myself (and used to pick at him) that I realized how bad it was.
When I was a kid, I used to chew off the writer's bump on my finger, which I guess is weird, but it's so much worse now. I have KP and can't help but pick at the little bumps all over my legs and arms, and anytime I get a pimple or blackhead, I obsess over them until I remove them.
It makes my arms and face so red and splotchy, and I feel so ugly in lolita but don't know what to do.

Recently I kind of lost touch with/had a minor falling out with most of my close friends, and I can't even really bring myself to fix it. I don't even care. I find it difficult to want to make new friends or fix these friendships when every single time I end up being hurt by them.
I also don't want to bother making new friends because I know it'll end at some point and I'll go through all this pain.

Basically I can feel myself becoming totally antisocial and starting to hate people, but I'm kind of glad because then I won't have to deal with the heartbreak/pain of losing the people close to me.

This is probably unhealthy, right? Like I know it is, but I can't help but want to protect myself against everyone.

[Anonymous No.7712448]

>>7712291
I've been though that. A few months back I lost the one friend I had and cares for that actually lived nearby. Felt incredibly lonely. Now down to two friends who are hours away.
Being alone can be nice, but then you might feel the pain of loneliness. If you aren't actually antisocial then it won't be good for you to be alone for too long. There are people out there who will be your friend through thick and thin. Even if you loose touch for a while they know you can be good for it down the line. You'll make good friends eventually. And if that doesn't sound too great, one big help to me a few years back was getting myself a dog and training it well and raising it right.
Get a puppy. Treat a puppy right as it grows up and you'll have the best friend you could ever hope for. They won't judge you, won't say anything mean, will follow you to hell and back and show nothing but pure love for you. Dogs are life. Dogs are love.

I do have one friend who's been through a lot with me, but she lives 6 hours away and I only see her at cons, and this year she's dropping a lot of them.
What I mean is, I'm starting to feel fine with not having close friends (beyond the one I mentioned), and I don't want to change it. If I feel lonely, I watch anime. I've stopped caring. If I didn't have my job, I'd totally be a NEET who only likes 3D.

You can still raise a pup with responsibilities. Just keep the pup crated when you're at work, when crate trained and house broken they'll be fine. But enjoy the time you have with your dog now, even old dogs can still be best friends.
Yeah my only friend is about 4 hours away. And only seen her once or twice in the last couple years. Haven't gone to a con with them since a couple AX ago.
There's nothing wrong with only have a couple friends. You can be a lot closer with only one or two friends than with a large amount of them. If you ever do make a friend that's great, if you don't force yourself to make any then that friendship will be natural. Those usually go well and last a long time from my experience, which is the two last friends I have. Now for me, it's just a boy and his dog, and his animus and a couple hobbies. You'll be fine. Even if your husbandos are all 2D.

Most things in here aren't really related, but these threads are kinda okay with that. We're all buddies here, even if half of us are catty bitches. Not having to spend cash every week to hang out with people also means you can use it for Cosplay and other neat things. And having a job kills time in your day to keep you busy. Better than boredom and thinking about sad things, while making dosh. Although I'm still bored at work since I work an overnight slow job which let's me browse 4chan like I am now.

I have been dating my boyfriend for the past 3 years, for two of those we've been living together.
We recently moved and I told him the wall scrolls had to go, while he could only pick a few of the figures to display.
This is mostly because we moved into a much smaller space and also because we are adults.
He was OK with it. In fact we picked out the posters we both liked and got frames for them. Because posters become instantly classy in frames.
Just wait it out. If you don't see you guys relocating anytime soon, talk to him. It's OK to feel like that's all too much!

I've been struggling with disordered eating and body image issues for as long as I can remember, but lately I've been making a lot of progress at keeping a healthy diet and exercising in a good way instead of excessively and obsessively. I just started cosplaying again this past June, and I've been looking at hall photos my friends have sent me for the first time tonight. I look thin in them, but good thin. Healthy, attractive thin. I probably cried for a good ten minutes over feeling that way about a picture of myself for the first time in my life.

I'm a little scared I'll get obsessive again if I keep cosplaying and feel like I need to be rail thin, but I'm going to print these shitty hall photos taken by strangers and keep them near my sewing area to remind myself that what I'm doing is working.

Cats are typically naturally clean animals that don't need regular baths like dogs do, unless you specifically have a long-haired or hairless breed. There are breeds of cats that are hypoallergenic and shed hardly at all. They poop in one place, not all over the ground like a dog.

Cats are literally the best pet for anyone to ever have. They're soft, usually pretty chill with being pet/cuddled, they clean themselves, and all you really have to do is clean out their box once a day and throw some food in their bowl in terms of actual care.

Maybe you're just too stupid to appreciate them.

He cares about looking nice for me, but a lot of guys will cut off any progress with "I like it/I've been wearing clothes like this for years/it's my style, why would I change it?" and end the convo.

It's like those hardcore frumps.

idk, I don't really like sex with other people, so I do it only to make him happy I guess.
>>7715026
I'd die out of shame.

This mostly. My biggest succes was convincing him that those white, adiddas-type fugly shoes were indeed ugly. And that's all I managed to do. He is super tall and skinny, so he just looks absolutely dreadful in these rags he's calling 'clothes'...

A relationship can't last if there isn't at least SOME physical attratction to the person.
It doesn't need to be a lot, but you have to at least want them a bit.

As an example I've shot down relationships because while they were a decent amount of what I wanted mentally, I was borderline repulsed physically.
They weren't ugly or anything, but I didn't like how they looked.

The point is, if you're together with someone, eventually you're gonna fuck.
And you really don't want to fuck an ugly person.

That being said, the biggest problem you seem to have is that his wardrobe is shit tier.
Do him a favor and take him clothe shopping, guys don't really get that looking good will make you feel good.
Likewise, form fitting clothes can practically turn a dude into another person.

Another thing that worries me is that they seem to have 0 sense of money management. They're older than me and have a bf they share a bank account with, both work and don't pay rent and yet they have barely anything saved. It just goes to food and videogame related things...

Oh man, I had a slight panic for a second there. I had to refresh my page and hope that we weren't bidding for the same dress. What are you bidding for?

Don't post what you're bidding for, will attract attention to your auction.

I doubt it's what you're trying to get because I made a bid after our posts last night and no one else has bid for it yet. You've already made a bid for something else, I'm assuming.

Stop. It's a slow board.

Fucking summer.

Anyway, I did end up with another feel and I'm definitely unhappy about it. I've been waiting well over a month for my missing package.

>woke up with a phone call from a post office supervisor
>according to them, my tracking number isn't available anymore
>carrier may have put it in the wrong mail box?
>have to wait to hear back from supervisor after she hears a report from the carrier

Man. All I want is either a refund or my package. I'm worried that when I do get my package that the item/package ends up having mildew/mold or something.

Why would it be moldy unless it was damp when it was shipped?

That's a stupid thing to worry about in this situation.

[Anonymous No.7718375]

I didn't explain my situation fully. I live in an apartment with the mailboxes being outside and it has been raining pretty frequently. The mail boxes are also pretty shitty in that there are little slits on the front (god knows why that exists instead of spaces to put the names on them). I've had several soaked bills, and if it was mistakenly in the wrong mail box with no one to open it (because it's summer and most people haven't moved in yet) except for the mail carrier), I'm worried that my package, which is a wig btw, would have gotten wet and moldy from sitting in there for a while. I just hope it's not there.
