I've been offered to take part in a research project my professor is conducting ... And the work will be paid.
Writer festivals, conferences, and workshops abound this fall, and I want to throw myself into the opportunities before I graduate and am out of the loop.
My creative energy is picking up in an exciting way I haven't experienced in ages.

......so today I think I'm gonna quit my job. I feel guilty about it. But it's burning me out and I get overworked with little pay and our policies are just so strict and very "Asian business." I don't want to have to add the company handbook to my list of textbooks, really. Plus, I'll have to leave for an internship next semester anyway.....yet I can't stop feeling like a baby for quitting already. I guess I had a lot of misgivings about the company, and little willpower.

I can't stand this. I always think "well, when I move out I'll have more space for this stuff so it's okay to have so much now" but....I don't know. I kind of want it gone so I can get some more money and free up space. I've gone through my manga once or twice a year and sold stuff to keep it trimmed down or swapped some titles to digital but I can't fit my collection in my bookcase anymore. I feel like I'm wasting money just letting the figures sit in boxes in my closet, nor do I really look at the ones I have out anymore.

I also feel very awkward whenever my parents go into my room because they probably think I'm a complete manchild for still being interested in this stuff.

I feel sympathetic towards you anon but I just want to make sure: Is your depression a self-diagnosis or have you seen someone and gotten an actual diagnosis? If you haven't please consider seeing someone.

It might also be beneficial if you cut your family off for a while and focus on yourself. Or at least limit contact since it sounds like they're stressing you out. You may have gotten out of there but messages like that are manipulative and emotionally abusive.

I seriously can't understand how I don't meet qualifications for any of these jobs that I don't get contacted back or am told "I don't meet their qualifications" for part time retail positions. I am trained to pretty much do anything retail related at this point in time. Hell, I even used to drive a delivery truck, and all I want for once is a nice, relatively stress free and non labor intensive part time job for once instead of having to work insane hours and busting my back for pennies.

This whole situation makes me hate myself more and more and I go into these places that I've applied to when I shop and I see the new employees they hire and they're either young lazy high school kids or people my age who get quit after a month.

I don't want to sew anymore, I don't want bother putting effort into my appearance because what even is the point if no one appreciates me or wants to hire me.

argggggh nooooooo crud, all I'm asking for is $9 an hour. (minimum wage here is $8.25), which I think is reasonable for someone with previous experience?

I remember once my old store hired a girl who only had cashier training and they gave her $9 while I was trained in every department and they only just then gave me $8 because of minimum wage increase. It's kind of why I had to leave though because they had me locked at minimum wage and were refusing to give me what everyone else made...

If anyone has any tips or ideas on what I should do, I would be very grateful for the help...

I think that >>7829102 is partly right because literally no one will call me back for any kind of part time or full time job because I have some sort of degree.

I cosplay with my bf and his standards are annoying.
He has that mindset of 'if its a cute girl it doesn't matter that her costume is shitty because she's cute', but he's very critical of all my handiwork for the costumes I make him.
He cares enough to complain about shitty costumes but isn't willing to go the extra mile to make ours the best they can be.

Relevant to you anon, you just have to hang out with the local LGBT group really to find out the gay bars. That's pretty much how I used to find them in town. Although maybe the ones I went to were crap - they were all for gay men with nothing for people like me. I have yet to find a gay girl bar.

I'd been doing well lately in dealing with depression and had been feeling pretty good about myself/life. I joined a new group of cosplayers and have been working through social anxiety in order to make new friends, and I've felt pretty excited about upcoming projects. But I've hit a dip the past couple days, and now I'm spending my Friday night alone in bed crying. I could have gone out with my boyfriend and some of his classmates, but I genuinely feel that would have just made things worse, made me feel anxious and had me in the bathroom to catch my breath every few minutes due to being surrounded by so many intelligent, successful people when I'm so worthless. I can't even make myself go work on the simple costume I have half way finished because what's the point, I'll just look disgusting in it anyway. I wish I were dead, but I feel too guilty thinking about how upset my boyfriend would be if I killed myself, though I'm sure he'd be relieved in part to not have to deal with me anymore. Ugh. Here's hoping tomorrow is better.

>tfw you don't wear the clothes, the clothes wear you

Every time I coord an outfit, I don't feel very happy in it or like I look very cute. Even if I end up looking good, I feel so awkward that it ruins the entire look. At this point I'm tentative to even buy new clothes; I don't have much money to burn and the last thing I'd want is to buy a 200+ dollar dress and have it go to waste because I feel like a mess when I wear it.

This would be understandable if I were in some big lolita community. People can be ruthless to newcomers and really critical of others sometimes. The problem is that the only time I'm not self-conscious is when I'm in pajamas, so this applies to everyday life just as much as it would if I were wearing a coord to some big meet up.

I've put on so much weight recently, 20lbs in the last 6 months alone.
Things have been so shitty in my life I lost control over my body because I was too distracted and now I feel like a cow. I spend so much time looking in the mirror and hating what I see.
I'm going to lose at least 30lbs before my next con, I can't stand being like this anymore. I want to look cute in all my clothes again and be able to wear shorts again next summer.

Isn't anime cosplaying the act of trying to dress up and look like your favorite characters? I understand you want to dress up but why choose a slim bishounen character when you are badly overweight ?

What is your take on people "cosplaying outside of their weight class" ?

>>7831426
I think you shouldn't only see it as "cosplaying outside your weight class" but "cosplaying against your body type". It's a general phenomenon not limited to overweight people (they only get the most hate since they're the most obvious).
For example I cosplayed Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara a few years ago. He's a brawny tall japanese warlord with muscles all over. I'm a 5'' 3' skinny white girl with big tits. But I love the game and the character so much I cosplayed him anyway and tried my best.

Now there are indeed people who are too stupid or oblivious to cosplay things which would suit them. However, there are also a good bunch of people who simply love a character or a show so much they eventually decide to cosplay him anyway (well aware of their faults and trying to compensate for them). The fact that the cosplayer you've seen had a really well made costume speaks for him/her.

For the weight, eat clean and exercise. Not much else you can do in such a short period of time, other than maybe get one of those belts that makes you sweat out your water weight. Haven't tried one myself.

I was always so conscious about wearing lolita, but I guess if I do it right I can look pretty after all.

I ran over a nail on the highway, the front two tires were in need of a change but I had no idea because I just had them rotated a few months ago and the tire guys didn't mention anything about them being worn down then. I'm not in the habit of checking my tires for wear daily and I wouldn't know what to look for if I was.

But thanks anyways?

My anxiety is getting worse to the point that now I always feel dirty (even when I've just taken a shower), my skin always feels like there's dust something clinging to it, my clothes on my skin aggravate me and drive me insane with feeling the texture of them, and I can't fall asleep well anymore and I always feel wound up and my skin is always crawling. Just fucking kill me ugh

This bothers me so much. Thyroid problems don't make you fat, they just make you retain more water, so you weigh more. The effect on your metabolism is negligible.

"I don't feel like trying to keep my weight down."

I am 100% aware of how thyroids work, they don't turn you into whales unless you sit around on your ass. Thyroid problems run in my family, and nobody in my family is a fat piece of shit.

All of my female friends who cosplay are so fucking bad at makeup. For dynamic characters, it's alright, I guess, but they go waaay overboard for most and pick that raccoon eyed stripper look, even for, like, average high school kid type characters. I think they've seen popular cosplayers do it and want to imitate that (and one of them is a stripper, so I'm pretty sure she just does the same over the top makeup at all times). I want to tell them to tone it down, but I'm sure they'll just get offended and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

>hair frizzy as fuck
>both had thin wire glasses and no makeup
>couldn't see what Low Ponytail was wearing, mostly because she had a leather trenchcoat over it
>I think it was classic based on the dark coat, berry coloured tights and the shoes. Definitely lolita though, could kind of see a silhouette through the coat
>Pigtails was wearing pastel pink - she's wearing sweet (remember, she's obese)
>awful unironed dress (probably one of the worse Bodyline ones), white knee socks (unflattering on most thin people legs, let alone fat ones), pink coat (also probably Bodyline), Bodyline tea parties - all in all, very pig-like
Doesn't sound too bad in the description, but I didn't want to take a picture of strangers so you'll have to believe me when I say it's worse than it sounds. The one in pink kind of talked to us a little, since she overheard me teaching my boyfriend some random Japanese phrases and pronunciation.

Unless you're a lazy fuck, thyroid problems will never just make you into a fatty.

I was already chubby but now I'm on the highest weight I have ever been and I hate myself more than ever. Almost none of my Lolita dresses fit anymore. I have over $1000 worth of brand in my closet and none of the dresses really fit me. Time to put down the fork... I hope I have the motivation to actually do this. ;_;

My dad tried to comb me to be "Chad the douchebag" all my life,he signed me up for the wrestling team back in HS, taught me how to shoot, ride motorcycles, work on cars, fish, smoke cigars, enjoy good rum and a bunch of other shit. I generally enjoy most of it and have made him proud for the most part except for the fact that I like anime, vidya and cosplaying. He just can't seem to get over that, my mom likes and supports it (I took her to a local con back in the day and she thought it was fun and there were cute girls there) My dad just can't seem to get the stick out of his ass on this one thing and it's making me feel like shit
