I'm worried about my relationship atm. My boyfriend woke up this morning from a dream (NOT A NIGHTMARE he stresses) about his ex, and it was a sex dream. I didn't care at first, dreams happen, but he's been angry and stressed about it all day to the point it's all he can think about. It blew his job performance today, and the minute he got home he started yelling at me and our roommates, complained he wasn't feeling good and went to sleep, which is way out of the norm for him.

We've been together for over a year now, which isn't really that long of a time but we're very serious about each other. Now I'm beginning to wonder though if we got together too soon after he and his ex broke up and he's still not over her... I've never been uncomfortable with him talking to her before but now I'm starting to get a little insecure.

Oh well. I'm going away with some friends this weekend so maybe the alone time will do us both some good though.

On a /cgl/ related note, bought my ticket for AWA's BtSSB tea party and for a 75$ ticket fee this better be one bomb-ass tea party. First brand tea party too, so way excited for next month.

As pretty as the gel nails turn out, nail technicians have told me to avoid them because they can make nails soft and brittle (UV rays from the drying process has some potential dangers too). I did some further research and I guess it's fine as long as it's done in moderation and the wearer does things like going to a proper salon and make an effort to take care of them after getting them done (i.e.: taking vitamins, moisturizing, etc.). To me, I feel like they'd hurt more in the long run.

That's great! It's good that you found somewhere you're so excited about living; I'm sure since you're so eager she'll happily work things out with you.

I don't have any contact with the landlord, everything is handled with the agent. My guarantor doesn't have a problem with guaranteeing me, but if he'd signed the form they sent him, he could've been guaranteeing anyone (since it didn't have my name or the address of the property on it), which is not ideal, haha. I think it should be fine; the agent has been handling this property for about 12 years, so I imagine the landlord is just trusting them to get on with it, which is probably why they're not trying very hard. Just gotta persevere. Now that I've gotten them to agree to physical forms, stuff should start happening soon. My uni doesn't start up again 'til October, so I got time.

If you want to feel better about the fact that you don't know much about it, find a design that you really like and are capable of buying/making, and read that character's lore on the League wiki. It'll give you a little something more to go off of than just picking the sluttiest/easiest design.

This guy at work is telling me way too personal shit.

Protip: He's not). He is everything I hate in a human being.

He won't stop iming me at work about this shit that's so personal, I feel guilty about logging out, but apparently I'm the only one at work intelligent enough to "get him." I really just want to slap him, tell him what a fucking first year philosophy student. Yes, I really care about how you read Nietzsche when you were eight and how you can shut your emotions down with a simple push of a button. I've really never heard such interesting, unique, snowflake-y ideas from a 20 year old. Write a book of your amazingly quirky life a CS major, please.

>TFW I'm considering leaving lolita, yet again
I'm always short on cash and am a bit of a shopping addict. These two things combined means I'm constantly selling my wardrobe to afford new stuff. I've also changed styles a couple times, meaning that I've overhauled my wardrobe so much that I only have one dress I wear.

Every now and then I get a craving to wear lolita, but it's just so expensive and takes up so much room. I could pick it up later when I make more moolah, I know, but letting go of something that has defined me as a person for many years is really difficult.
It also doesn't help that none of my local com likes me that much, I had a falling out with two of the big cocks of the com and as such feel ostracised from the rest of the community.
Anytime I talk to any of them they either act awkward or neutral/stoic, and I have a feeling that the two big cocks probably shit talk me to other lolitas, as we often gossiped about other lolis.

Just do your own thing and ignore the bitches. Find a friendgroup based more on your interests outside of lolita but continue to enjoy the fashion. Switch to casual lolita and look for good accessory/basic item finds (blouses, cardigans, shoes) in off-brand, or even look for these items at thrift stores. When you get the itch for a new burando item, force yourself to trade something you own for what you want, or just sell it on lace market before you let yourself buy something new.

That's what I'd do anyway.

Please leave them, or threaten to leave (and actually leave if they don't grow up and chip in with chores). My dad is an absolute man-baby and screams at my mom whenever she tries to clean up the crap HE hoards. It is so frustrating for me to hear about, because it's too late for him to change (he's in his 70s, he had me late). I hope to high heaven that he dies first so that she can enjoy some portion of her life in silence and peace. It's clear he wouldn't be able to take care of himself if she dies before him; she handles all his financial issues for him and does all the household work.

It's probably partially a generational thing, I know. My mom probably is somewhat locked and comfortable in her role as a housewife. But it's so frustrating that he barely helps her, even when he's goddamn retired and shit, and he's the one guilty of hoarding stuff from thrift stores.

If you're on 4chan and have a manchild as an SO, you're honestly too young to put up with that crap.

My boyfriend is kind of like that. He hasn't done his laundry in over a month and it's sitting in a giant pile in half of his room. Every time I ask him to clean it he says he'll do it "tomorrow" and then gets mad at me for nagging him. I've tried to do it for him even and he just gets more upset. He also didn't do the dishes for long enough to where the kitchen smelled too bad for me to breath in there. Again, gets upset at me for "nagging" him to clean. Bad sign?

I have a little bit of this in my family too, I think it's somewhat common for our generation where fathers did most of the breadwinning and mothers were then expected to do most of the housework. It's normalised for them, but sometimes distressing for most of us who have/plan to get jobs and possibly live self-sufficiently. I have to say that personally I've been put entirely off relationships with guys who don't know how to do or won't do housework, because of my family dynamic, and I get a bit of that 'I hope dad dies first so mum can enjoy her life more' feeling too.

Luckily, my mum raised both my brother and I to do every chore as necessary, and she seems pretty satisfied to not have brought another spoiled son into the world. Whoever has him as their partner/flatmate will be very lucky!

[Anonymous No.7760682]

>>7760667
Yeah. Especially if the kitchen got bad enough that you were having breaking issues. I've been getting my husband out of his bad messy habits. He was really lazy but I've been pushing him to be more on top of things. He's still pretty lazy, but I can at least get him to start helping out more(like if I go do the laundry, I ask him to sweep the bathroom). I've learned to keep calmer and explain how I don't WANT to get to the point where I have to get mad and yell to get him to do his part(because nobody wants to be yelled and nagged at). It's not like either of us like to clean(and it took me a long time to really be where I motivate myself to clean daily), but it's not fair to have only one person do all the cleaning when we BOTH work. I work less hours so I clean more, but he still needs to do some things around the house.

I got myself into the habit of doing the laundry once a week. I used to let it go two, three, or more weeks. But then I realized just how much of an obnoxious chore it is when you're dealing with so much at once. Same with the dishes. Wash them each night, instead of every few days. So much easier and you don't end up with stuff smelling gross because you have food or stagnant water.

Really places like the kitchen you should be staying on top of because of shit like mold growing if you're not careful.

I learned you gotta be firm on some things. Like how my husband might tell me to just do the laundry NEXT week and I have to put my foot down and tell him it has to be done THIS week, because I know it'll just keep adding up and it'll be a bigger chore to do.

My husband's mother was the breadwinner (she's some high-up in a bank) and father used to be a stay at home dad, so I don't think that's the issue, he's just lazy.

I complained to my father-in-law and said how I shan't be his mammy forever, but it turns out his father was the same until my MIL threatened to hook him in the gabber for being a lazy piece of shit.

So I guess it's an acquired trait, you just have to put your foot down.

Nightmare disorder person here. He may not feelings for this girl, he might even hate this girl. You can still have nightmares and dreams about someone who was once part of your life, even if now they mean nothing to you. Coming from someone who has had intense dreams since childhood, there is no real way to associate dreams with reality of ones feelings. Freud barely even had anything logical, if anything, about dreams. He might have memories, he might have dreams, but it doesn't necessarily mean he still cares for her.

Not saying you're stupid, been there done that.

so if they weren't married it would be okay for him to cheat? Also "lately" means he hasn't been turning you down before when he was still in a fucking relationship and possibly engaged.

Also the whole "almost had sex with him" thing.

Mine's the opposite. She keeps calling me anorexic for only having one slice of cake per visit. Literally everyone on her side of the family is significantly overweight, even the children. It took my father over half his lifetime to get her toxicity about food and body image out of his mind and start working towards being healthy. I have two uncles who died of obesity-related health problems in their fifties and another one who recently needed surgery because his arteries are almost entirely clogged up with gunk.
But because I only have one slice of cake per visit and maintain a 26" waistline through a healthy diet and exercise, I'M supposedly the toxic one who is setting a bad example for the children.

On my birthday she sent me a card with $20 telling me to treat myself to Burger King, along with a passive aggressive message that I need to visit her more often. Needless to say I spent that shit on burando instead.

Original poster here.

Things like this is why I let my symptoms go on so long without treatment. I tried to "tough it out" and "get over it" for 4 years. Things got worse and worse until I finally tried to commit suicide, ended up in a coma, and got shipped to a loony bin for awhile where I finally got treatment that just so happens to be in the form of pills. Things in my life are exponentially better, minus the 50lb weight gain which I am working on.

I am happy you never progressed to the point I reached, but yes, I firmly believe I need these medicines to get better, and I regret not getting them sooner.

My best guy friend doesn't want to go to cons with me anymore because he's literally scared of lolitas.

Read that again. I'm serious. He's got some serious social anxiety, but he's fine with any social interaction he can easily classify (autism joke here) such as creepy hambeasts, The Overly Aggressive Girl Wearing Animatronic Cat Ears (TOAGWACE, "toag-wase," he came up with that one,) etc. The decent lolitas stymie him; they're socially competent and wearing expensive dresses. And since he's a decent-looking guy at an anime con, they tend to go for him, and since lolitas always travel in pairs or pods, well... you get the drift. He's so cripplingly shy that he kind of shuts down, waits for me to say something, and just kind of slips away.

He still likes anime cons, but a few months ago, out of the blue, he tells me he doesn't want to go to AWA. He'll drive me there (we usually carpool with two other friends) and hit up the dealers room, but he doesn't want to run around the con with me, which is usually the best part. My friends are joking that he got bit by a lolita as a kid and picked up a ribbon last week or something and it gave him flashbacks. It'd be funny if social anxiety like this was funny, but it's really not.

Kinda bummed. Panels are boring, cons suck without your friends.

Once you're out of depression, it's much easier to deal with things that might've sent you back into it. It's not just about "toughing it out", it's about improving your self-worth and self-esteem. It leads to a much happier future for yourself and for the people around you.

>Once you're out of depression

Unless you have complete control over the outside factors of your life (really hope your parents never die in your lifetime, you have immediate success in your career, your romantic partnerships go exactly as planned, no one exits your life in any dramatic way) there's a decent chance depression can return. You didn't cure yourself. You improved your self esteem a little, great. Let's hope it doesn't take any severe blows.

You know that depression varies between people, right? Your experience doesn't - surprise - apply to everyone. I'm glad you managed to help things yourself, but I don't think everyone can just figure themselves out and 'get over it'. As you said, it requires someone who is strong of mind, and again, not everyone has the same strength as you. It's like saying "It's okay, I got the flu and got over it without having any issues, you just need to harden up" when someone else who got the same virus as you ended up in intensive care with a bad pneumonia - same problem, very different experiences.

My boyfriend insists he can "fix" my crippling social anxiety without the help of a therapist.

He doesn't understand why I feel more secure working this out with a professional in a controlled environment, and it really stresses me out when I try to explain it to him and he just doesn't get it, but I can't keep dealing with it myself.

If we're out in public and I need to ask someone a question, I'll try to do it myself. But if I'm feeling exceptionally bad, I'll ask him to do it for me. Then he tries to force me to do it anyway, as though I'm just being a shithead and don't want to do it.

It's like he doesn't understand that I go into panic attacks over this kind of shit, even though I've told him and he's seen it happen. He's usually so supportive, but he just doesn't seem to understand this at all.

[Anonymous No.7763381]

>>7763341
Have you tried talking to your therapist about ways to explain this to him? Usually when people have trouble understanding abstracts I try and relate it to something more concrete, although depending on how he is ymmv. I would go with the analogy of it being like a 'knee injury in your brain' (just so it's something more concrete for him to have a grasp on) that you're working with a professional on rehabbing. Most days you will be able to 'walk' to an extent, but some days it plays up. On those days pushing yourself to 'walk' will make it hurt more, and even though he means well by encouraging you it doesn't actually help and can set you back by 'injuring' the knee more (i.e. your panic attacks, worsening of your anxiety) and leading you to trust him less. Obviously you want to see the professional rather than him, because the professional knows all about your 'knee injury' (social anxiety) and the different ways to treat it, and although he means well and wants to fix it you think that you will stand a better chance of being able to 'walk' (aka interact socially) with the professional input.

[Anonymous No.7763400]

Maybe it's just me, but I think people who think they can 'fix' people's problems and have little professional experience in the area have an unwarranted sense of self importance. They also tend to have less empathy and sympathy regarding the matter.

I wouldn't say your relationship is doomed, but you should have an open conversation and get to the root of why he thinks he can 'fix' you.

I'm glad you're looking for professional help though. it sounds like you know what your problem is which is a very good first step.

My mother used to be like this, to the point where she'd trick me into social situations she thought would help me 'be less timid', e.g.:
>me: "Oh look mom that's [bigwig in my field], I really admire his work."
>mother: "Go talk to him anon! Be assertive!"
>me: "Oh no I can't I'm way too nervous and he's obviously busy right now and I don't have anything worthwhile to say to him anywa- Where did you go mom"
>mother: "OH HEY MISTER BIGWIG MY DAUGHTER HAS A REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK YOU C'MON SHE'S RIGHT OVER HERE"
>mother physically drags the man away from his colleagues and over to me
>mother: "Go on honey, talk to him!"
>me exits, pursued by bear
>mother later scolds me for not being 'assertive' enough and embarrassing her

Like >>7763381 said, having my therapist explain my issues to her really really helped. She finally accepted that it was not just me being 'a bit timid' and that hyperventilating in the bathroom isn't something I do for attention. Now she's reading all sorts of books on the subject and telling everyone she knows that I have social anxiety which isn't exactly better but at least she's not actively making it worse anymore.

[Anonymous No.7763432]

>>7763400
I think she should give him a chance to at least try to understand it, possibly it's hard for him to understand her explanation because she's the one experiencing it and he just doesn't have that frame of reference to go by. He sounds like he thinks it's the sort of problem that with enough of a (well meant but incredibly misguided) push, it won't be one. As far as I can see, people who don't have problems with anxiety have no reference point for understanding how much of an issue it actually is. So if they don't really 'get it' when you explain, they associate it with the closest thing they have - which is being a bit nervous - and try to fix it by getting the person with anxiety to do what they would do in the same situation. Usually, this is 'doing it anyway' and fighting through the nerves (and therefore being less nervous about it the next time you do something). Of course, when you have severe anxiety this is about the worst possible thing you can do because it triggers the exact reaction you don't want to have in public...

Agreed. I wouldn't be too harsh on him since crippling social anxiety IS a mental disorder and you can't just expect people who are mentally healthy to understand it through sheer empathy. It would be awesome if things worked that way but unfortunately they don't.
