I'm just really tired and don't know what I'm doing.

>> No.7987110

I need to control myself
I buy clothes and cute shit whenever I have money left
I'm addicted to online buying
I don't even work ( only study) so I can't even pay for burando.... because I can't commit myself to save money
I feel better about myself when I dress cute, because I know I'm just a piece of shit girl with shit hair and a face full of acne and the clothes make people look away from my face for a few moments.

sometimes I just wanna die... or sell all my stuff just to buy more

>> No.7987111

I'm getting depressed over a lot of stuff and eating more and honestly my biggest worry is that I may not fit into brand anymore.

I've busted an AATP skirt zip recently and I cried for hours. I'm going to try and get it replaced but this isn't helping me feel any better.

i should probably see a therapist. i'm having the same paranoid, guilty feelings i had that made me rearrange my mind as a kid to stop even daydreaming about people around me, which i know is fucking ridiculous. even now, if i imagine myself finishing an unfinished conversation with someone i feel self-indulgent and gross about it--and i'd never masturbate over someone's actual picture. so why feel guilty and predatory over taking pictures of someone in costume?!

Mfw getting 3 popular recent releases but deciding not to say much about them because so many people did not even get one piece in one release and everyone's so damn crabby about it. I'm not such a bragging person but I sometimes like to post when I'm happy to get something, sheesh.

Not that anyone cares, but one of my co-workers mom's is very ill, and I get that, I do my best to be accommodating, and the overtime is nice.
She called out to upper management, who then called the store for me, found out I was not in, so they told the store to call me and have me call them on their cellphone?

Why couldn't the old fart move to PA or Maine or somewhere with tree cover? GDI. And since I have to take a plane there, the molestation company is going to set limits on my liquids, so I can't take my routine with me. How am I supposed to wash the sunscreen off without my OCM and cleanser?

So I'm going to burn and break out and look ugly for weeks because we don't have freedom to take mineral oil and neutrogena on a plane.

I can't stop thinking about how I'll probably get skin cancer because my parents let me burn red every summer of my childhood.

To me, being stared at occasionally is worth not blowing through a shit ton of sunblock and/or burning up.

If it's really that necessary for you to have your routine with you then there are several possible options.

Put your stuff into smaller bottles that you can take with you. You can buy some cheap small ones from the dollar store, walmart, or 5 below and if you are only going for 4 days then you won't need too much in each bottle.
Buy the stuff when you get there.
Or just check your bag. The only limits on your liquids are when you do carry on and not checked luggage.

I'm fairly certain they can go in your luggage, you should have a one-bag of x kilos allowance for the flight, even for the cheapest airlines (Ryanair and Wizzair have it normally here, for example). Unless yank airlines are jewing it up in which case I'm terribly sorry.

You can respect what religion does for society without believing in a higher power. Sort of like how you can enjoy christmas music despite being a different religion, because it's something beautiful that humanity has created and it's just art.

Getting really sick of my lazy ass postal deliverer.
This is the second time I've had a package marked as "Delivered" only for it to show up the next day. The first package was guaranteed to be here on Monday and of course, wasn't.
I suspect that she knows I don't check my mail every day, that's why she does this, but if I have a package coming, I'll check the mail every hour if I can.
If you can't get something here day-of, it's okay to deliver it the next day, just don't fucking label the package as "Delivered" if you didn't deliver it.

Unless there's some weird thing about this in the mail system that I, as a non-employee, don't know about?

It's interesting to see how uncomfortable some people who were raised without a religion are with religious symbols on clothing. I'm agnostic/heavily leaning towards atheist, but I was raised Catholic and live in a mainly Catholic country, and it's never even crossed my mind to feel bad about wearing religious symbols, I'd do it all day erryday if I had enough clothing that fit the theme. I would feel more uncomfortable wearing a Jewish-themed dress or something, though, so I guess I lucked out being raised in the religion with the most popular symbolism.

wait so your weight actually gets measured on there? top lel
here if you're that fat you don't get to board at all, but your actual weight has no impact on the amount of luggage you carry.
Usually you're allowed a carry-on bag (anything from a weekender to those small suitcases with wheels up to xkg (usually not above 8), and on top of that big luggage up to xkg (depending on the airline it can go from 15kg to 30kg).
I just returned from a trip to Turkey and for example Turkish Airlines let me check in a 30kg suitcase, Lufthansa usually does something like 25.
>"I am going to feel your buttocks now, miss, is that okay?"
wot, is that a regular thing? Here we just roll everything through the scanner and if we don't beep we go through. Only once did I have to take off my shoes. For EU members you just scan your ID or passport and roll the fuck through without any hold-up.

How much do you have to pay if you want to bring luggage with you? And do they open your case? Which company is this?

You ALWAYS need to remove shoes here. And belt. They don't open anything, you put it in bins on a conveyor belt and your stuff goes through a scanner. Then you collect it down the line.

Yeah, my main issue is sizing, because I just keep measuring to my body as I sew, but that doesn't work if I'm making something for someone across the country. I do have a friend who wanted to do a Solaire cosplay, I could make him his tunic and maybe help him figure out the chainmail for a challenge, but he's not very motivated to do it.

I also have some friends who want some perler bead shit of their favorite characters for Christmas, so I guess my time would be better spent working on those since I can only do 2 or 3 a day because of my fucked shoulders.

I don't even actually know how to use patterns properly. I'm so much better at just looking at things and figuring them out myself. I plan on making an Elsa cosplay sometime soonish and I'm going to need a pattern for that, so I guess I should really get on learning.

Why six? Why not stop at one that you can actually support by yourself?

You are inviting his male ego into its natural competition mode. He retaliated. I would lay back on trying to top each other's past and just enjoy each other right now.

You don't even have a car. I bet you have literally no clue why you even want to save for a house other than "they r niec" and other people told you that you buy a house and get married when you get older. Do you even have a plan for saving for your wedding?

I never really understood the frustration Lolitas had with the replica versus brand debate, but I feel like I got a taste of it recently.

Between bills and tuition, I saved up and finally commissioned my own kigu. It came in the mail and it's super rad, cozy, machine washable, got pockets, thick and fleecy, totally legit kigu.

Go on Facebook the next day and see that my friends have gotten "off brand kigus from Winco". from fucking Winco. and they're so generic and thin. Of all the opportunities for a totally rad kigu why get something so....basic? It's like my legit kigu got pissed on 'cause "lol we can get the same thing for so much cheaper pleb". 'cept it's not the same thing.

I don't really know what I'm feeling right now. I feel ashamed of my reaction, I guess. I'm going to bed.

i used to make kigurumis on commission and i stopped doing it fairly quickly because of the same reason. I did a lot of things the knockoff kigus didn't have-- i chose thick fleece, handstitched detail, super deep pockets (i could fit a smartphone, 3DSXL, and a small tablet in there), and made it to measurements. i think the biggest i made one was for a guy who was 6'4".

then friends, family would shit on my short-lived commissions, saying that it was too expensive and they were appaled people would pay that much
>anon you can get a kigu off ebay for 20 bucks!!1 i wouldn't pay more than 30 for one of yours, they're just pjs
>aren't these really easy to make, can't you just crank it out in an hour

I used to work with obnoxious bros like that, as well as a bunch of girls who kept giggling at everything (literally everything) they said and encouraging their obnoxious bro-ness. One time they made a joke that was literally just about them crashing into another person's parked car and how it didn't matter because the owner of the car was a woman and women can't drive. The entire room burst into laughter and I hadn't even realized it was supposed to be a joke until then, because it just sounded like a dumb story, not a joke.
I mentioned their bullshit to a higher up (aside from them being sexist dumbshits they were also disgusting and hoarded moldy peanut butter jars) they said that they really couldn't do much because they were unpaid student interns. Worst part is that I can't take any solace in the idea that these people are failures who will end up working at Walmart the rest of their lives - they were all neuroscience students, like me.

We have a pretty rad motorbike, a chopper, and we're not in the US so public transport is great and affordable.

I was looking at some photos of me from a few years ago and though I knew I gained weight it sorta put things into perspective for me. In the pictures I looked at, at that time I used to think I looked so fat but I really, really didn't once I dressed myself properly. I probably could have stood to lose 20 lbs at that weight but I looked pretty much fine. Looking at myself now I am just so dissatisfied with how I look and I can't believe I let myself gain all this weight back...in the pictures I was admiring myself in I actually had lost some weight and yeah in the past 4 years I gained it back and basically it's just my fault. Sigh. I would only have to lose about 30 lbs to get back to that weight but I still feel like an ass for gaining it in the first place and I'm also mad I thought I looked so fat when, looking at myself now, I looked nice.

Conspicuous consumption mixed with being a blind sheep. I live in a housing association/ authority house alongside homes worth $3million. We pay rent, my parents have been to community college because they couldnt afford unversity and worked many skilled jobs in IT, teaching, interior design, creative metalwork, art and now tv/film.The work is sporadic though, we still are in the lowest income bracket in the country. I wear lolita and yes it helps with my low self esteem, but I was never ashamed of not having expensive brand until people told me at meets that I 'should' buy it if I have the cash. I use that to cover the $250 a month it cost me to travel to uni, the food budget etc I also have multiple chronic illnesses and can't juggle a job with my degree. I don't want to waste my disability money when the lolita I buy is on par or less than normie clothes but the mythical brandwhore does exist and keeps telling me that it's brand or bust. So yeah I'm a poorfag even with government money but I trybnot to abuse it. I don't give a shit about designer clothes and just want to graduate, move out and support myself. If I didn't have that housing project/council house I would never have been in the catchment area for a private school I won a scholarship to and thus got to uni from. My entrance exam score was the second highest of 650 applicants, but had I still been in some ghetto bedsit I think I would have stayed in the gutter. I believe that some of our government assistance has enabled us to give back to society. Were we homeless, then it really would be throwing money into a bottomless pit with no tols to make economic or socisl progression. So whilst welfare is frustrating for people who work hard, opportunities often cost $$ from someone even if you are the most intelligent selfmade hero.

It's probably not much of an cheer-up but, please remember that (Japanese) idol life has a lot of downsides and isn't really something you should've wished for in hindsight. A lot of money and attention isn't a free ticket to happiness, especially not in those quantities. There's the issue with boyfriends as well, public scandals, missing childhood even more when you're discarded as too old by your fanbase, ect.
For myself, I can say I don't really have that many friends either and even though I enjoy my studies I have a big chance of failing them for the second time just because I'm so bad at it. Is there anything you'd like to do in stead of your current education? Discuss it with your parents, tell them that your current degree is making you sad. No matter how abusive they are, they must care for your happiness too, right?

That's how my friends are.

That's not worth it!" Never mind that I'll have these things for likely the rest of my life, but since it's not instant gratification in the same way booze is, it's not worth it.

I'm just getting into lolita. I know starting out seems expensive, but I think I've gone overboard for a beginner. I just counted up the purchases I've made in the last two months, and it's probably close to $800 for my first four main pieces plus some blouses, wigs, shoes, and accessories. I know by lolita standards, that's not all that bad, but I feel so guilty for spending that much money so quickly.

To top it all off, I'm impatient and anxious about sending money to people in general, and I'm so afraid I'm going to get scammed. Most places have had good communication, and truthfully, it's only been 10-12 business days since I began the more complicated transactions, so I know I'm probably worrying about nothing, but I can't help but feel anxious about that much money just floating around with no products to show for it yet.

Husband is SUPER passive-aggressive about it and says shit like "why did I even get married if I'm just going to be denied sex all the time" and garbage like that.

Don't get me wrong, we do love each other and have a pretty good relationship, but he's such a fucking dick when he gets denied, and I only deny him if there's a good reason, so.

Man, I'm super glad I'm not dating a man-child who cares more about his dick than my well-being. If I say it hurts, he stops, no questions asked. If I say I don't want to, he gets the fuck over it without being a little bitch. I agree that you should be with someone with a similar sex drive so one doesn't always feel pressured and the other rejected, but I bet it sucks to be stuck with someone who feels entitled to your body whenever they please.

But I mean there's a limit to it.

there is a point where it just doesnt work out and there needs to be a compromise; Like a sugar baby on the side just for sex. Naturally, most mammals are not meant to be monogamous.

Yeah... it says that a lot of people are selfish twats who can't commit to relationships. Then they'll claim "oh it's just because humans can't be monogomous" so they don't have to feel like pieces of shit about it.

Meanwhile... millions of people around the world have successful and fulfilling marriages that they are happy to be part of.

Relationships require work. A lot of people don't seem to understand that, so they aren't willing to put forth any sort of effort to maintain a relationship. Thus, they end up cheating and then pretending it's okay.

Try doing a little research, dipshit.

Humans had one partner typically. They'd mate, have a child. The mother would care for the child while the male hunted/gathered and brought back food. This is where gender roles come from, not from ~muh oppression~. By the time one kid was weaned and old enough to sort of handle itself without mom, there'd be another kid that needed her tits to feed it. So the kids were cared for and protected by the mother figure while the male father figure would find food and shit.
