I got a shit ton of money from relatives and I'm torn between pursuing cosplay or buying a portable keyboard piano that I could practice on at night and bring to family gatherings.

>TFW no weeb/Goth protégé
I've been clearing out some stuff at my parents house and I've got a bunch of almost unworn tacky goth stuff from brands like Poizen Industries etc that I'm worried the charity stores might just bin, but I've had bad experiences with getting to sell on eBay and it doesn't seem worth it. I just want to walk up to a tween Goth and hand it over, I remember how much tacky skulls and zips on everything meant when I was that age and how much it hurt when I couldn't afford the clothing of my people, but I don't know any kids that age.

Same anon! All of my gothic clothing is stuff I either still use or gave to my sister, but I was clearing out my hats/scarves/gloves box and at the bottom I found a bunch of fingerless gloves and lace-up armwarmers and shit. At the time I thought they were the height of cool, and I kinda don't wanna just throw them away even though I'd never touch them now. With the prices they charge at Claire's and the alternative market near me, I reckon I've got $40 worth of stuff, which ain't that much but it's a lot of money when you're a tween.

give back to humanity, realize humanity owes you nothing, and enjoy what you receive. this simple change in attitude, combined with learning a skill which has tangible effect on the physical world, can make a difference in how you see people and how they see you.

even if you do not get a girlfriend from these changes, you will find peace.

It isn't a very important feel but I hate how I always get stuck with him because I'm the youngest. He's gas and all but sometimes they expect me to act like his mammy while his actual parents don't give a fuck and expect others to raise him.

Plus he's 28, my "parenting" duty stopped when I turned 18 and moved out. And it doesn't help that they let him do everything because "oh darling he's just like that, he just doesn't understand"

>tfw I have no Jfash friends to teach me to be better at being gyaru.
>tfw no female friends at all

I haven't had one female friend in almost two year, It's like I have a phobia of having a female friend. I don't want to be one of those "gamer girls who like, is just like the boys!"
I think after so many bad experiences in the past with having best friends with girls I have made myself think that all girls are the same when I know it's not true.
I actually get jealous on facebook at all those girls that annoy me that are like "BESTIES FOR LIIIFE", in reality I think I want something like that...Minus the gross FB posts.

The worst part is I have added a couple girls to my skype but, I end up avoiding them in the end because I'm too scared. Or when I get into group calls with friends to play games and some girl shows up I get really shy and end up not speaking at all.

This post ended up longer than I planned lol, sorry for the full rant. My best friend has been a guy for 3 years, while thats all dandy, the problem comes when he is in love with me and I can't talk to him about guy troubles, he'll listen, but I feel shitty for hurting him. In the end I don't talk about it to anybody. Since all my friends are guys, and a lot of them like me *which is usually why I make myself stop being their friends in fear of hurting them* I have no one. FFFFFF

TL;DR It's be great to have Jfash friends! Annnnd I'm just high off my medications, so other stupid bitching.

And before any nice ladies offer to talk to me, It is most likely I will chicken out. Or I have to make a new skype because, reasons.

Same here, and please PLEASE don't listen to sandy cunts who give you shit for not having female friends. There isn't a gender quota in friendship and you make friends with people who fit you best, nothing wrong with that.

THAT SAID, if you're scared to be friends with girls and talk to them, how will you befriend one in the first place? A lot of those 'besties for life' HAVE been besties for life, or at least a long time. Maybe try getting into the whole thing not with the aim of making FEMALE friends, but with the aim of making friends with the same interests? Not all girls like makeup and jfashion and a lot of them don't like the same things you like necessarily, so your perception of a perfect female friendship may not be exactly realistic.

I don't know, most of my (very few) friends are male as well, (except nobody falls in love with me because I'm not really a dainty and feminine type and I'm as ugly as a witch's tits) I've had trouble befriending women because a lot of them are a bit too serious for my taste and often get offended for the smallest things (she accidentally looked at me with the wrong eye at a certain angle that I didn't like? WHAT A BITCH!). So I definitely get what you're saying.

I kind of feel the same way only I guess I'm the opposite of you? My personality is too rough and blunt for most girls who end up either taking things personally or seriously. My guy friends and I, and my few friends who are girls joke around with insults all the time, many girls I've met are just too delicate. Others I've met tend to be jelly of me, not because I'm super attractive, but because they're buttass ugly. I've had girls insult me to my face for not having big boobs or for dressing really feminine, when they themselves are fat lards with fucked faces.

It's really sad. I honestly think my looks coupled with my personality isolate me from a lot of people, girls and boys. My looks make me seem like a snobby stuck up bitch, which turns off some guys or my personality makes me seem like a blunt tomboy which turns off some girls, and my friends are either similar to me, or give zero fucks.

I'm hoping to meet more girls myself and be able to do kawaii shit with them, but it's been really difficult. I used to have a troupe of weeby fangirls but damn they are a hassle.

In any case, I'll just sit here and keep watching animu with cute girls in highschool being best friends and cry into my ice cream.

A good choice m8. Autism isn't really that big of a deal unless it's not handled right when the person is growing up (there's always exceptions and outliers to every statement ofc)

I had a kid with megabad aspergers in HS, everyone encouraged him to do ridiculous things to get a laugh out of it. The best of the best of his personal hit list was fucking a hot girls sandwich and giving it back to her and (he was extremely underdeveloped) crawling in to his huge backpack and laying in it in the hall while doing a startlingly accurate gollum impression

Kind of a shame, the kid was a savant at sculpting but only the art teacher encouraged that from him.

eurofag as well, and we don't really have the cases like they do in walmart. We do have alcoholics though.

He isn't all bad though, he's actually quite considerate and I love him a lot despite his condition. He knows how to be a real gentleman when he puts his mind to it, he's just really clumsy when it comes to social interactions and knows how to make things awkward for everyone. The example above was in an upscale restaurant, and other diners were definitely looking at us oddly because of his behaviour. Other time he asked my fat aunt if she was pregnant and once he grabbed this old woman's arse in the bus.

The annoying thing though is when people tell him to behave, we're called bullies and insensitive.

On the topic of autism and asperger's... I once knew a woman whose parents were so ignorant and didn't want to acknowledge her problems that she let her get away with
1. not washing her hands/ cleaning her teeth/ showering. Like. She smelled like vagina and sweat and whatever she had eaten for the last month
2. Never trimming her nails

And then she would complain about how no one wanted to take cosplay photos of her when she refused to do anything about her hairy face, wear wigs or any sort of makeup.

so what makes an assburger different from a neet?

>> No.8021716

>>8021700
a neet can actually comprehend social cues but doesn't know what they are as they don't interact with others much.
an assburger cannot, despite interacting with others, and they often make bad decisions because they're only going off of what other people told them not to do which gets confusing.

In a nutshell, when you see an assburger you'll know. A lot of them have weird tics, speech patterns etc that just make them "weird" to others. They also look slightly different.
A neet doesn't necessarily, but they might do some weird shit anyway.

Basically, when you see anons talking about spilling their spaghetti and acting weird, they are aware of it, they just don't know how to act because they're loners and recluses. A lot of those stories end up with them knowing they fucked up and losing sleep over acting weird.
An assburger may not be aware of their behaviour and will often say that they don't see anything wrong in behaving the way they did.

For example, my brother doesn't know that chewing with your mouth open is rude despite being told so multiple times, and will only correct himself if he remembers.

I wouldn't treat anyone with assburgers as different or a special case. I mean I would help out people who didn't have one arm or something in certain cases but I wouldn't treat them any better or different than the next joe.

You get what I mean? Like I didn't think that pedo dude was autistic or special or sick. I just thought he was a fucked up dude that needed to be punch for manipulating little girls at anime cons.

I have no idea why seagulls even use that term in the first place against each other. I feel that most of us are really sad individuals and use the computer to vent because of a lack of confidence or social lives or whatever but eh.

>everyone in the house except me, my dad and my 12-year-old sister gets the winter vomiting bug and spends 3 days throwing up and another couple being listless and barely eating
>dad is a useless shit who's barely ever in the house (during the whole time everyone was ill, he'd regularly return home at midnight or later because he'd been visting friends or my grandma and then have the gall to complain that the house wasn't as tidy as he liked it)
>all of the housework falls on me because my dad's out, my little sister is a useless shit (and had a cold that she was exaggerating like crazy to get out of doing work), and my mum and other sisters were too busy vomiting everywhere to do anything
>two major deadlines and two tests in the same week, I'm travelling to college an hour and a half away from home every day and don't get back til 6
>stuck cooking everyone proper meals as well because takeaways will make ill people throw up
>dad's always out with the only car and "forgets" to pick up shopping on his way home and we're running out of food; every meal takes me at least an hour to prepare because all the stuff that's quick and easy to cook has been used up
>as soon as people start recovering from the vomiting thing, everyone gets flu, including my little sister this time, I catch some cold thing that's not as bad but leaves me feeling shitty and I get a coldsore from being run down
>still doing everything in the house single-handedly and looking after 4 sick people

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and heavily medicated but my parents seemed to think that the meds would magically cure me of all my symptoms. Eventually they just stopped caring and let me do my own thing because they had my little brother to worry over. I quit taking my meds and I think I'm doing well enough.

And no I don't have autism. You fuckers think autism is the answer to all. Do you even know what autism is. Autism is not ADHD. It's having trouble with communication and forming relationships. ADHD is about having trouble with attention span and keeping still.

Kids are just fucking weird like that.
Take my Cousin, she is a loud, annoying, selfish pest that only thinks of herself above all else.
She is obnoxious and acts like she is 12 half the time and it gives me a headache to have a conversation with her. Her mother is quite the same but she is an alcoholic and even harder to hold a conversation with.
She recently had a kid, and she is such an angle it is bizarre. She was never much of a crier, she is like..2 or so and she never cries or has a hissy fit. She will get a bit fussy if she is hungry/ tired/needs to be changed but she will tell you what the problem is (Even if she uses her pampers she tells you she has "Bubble" me and my mom keep telling the twit it is time to potty train the girl but she will not hear it)
I mean, it may have a lot to do with that since my mom is retired she has been watching her while my cousin is at work but holy sit it is so jarring to have the two of them in a room she is nothing like her mom even at an age where it would be appropriate.

I have no problems with dating a guy shorter than me, but that might be childhood influence because my mum's taller than my dad. My ideal range is probably around my height (if it was just up to me) or only a couple of inches taller (since most guys don't tend to like taller gfs, especially if theyr'e already insecure about their height). I've dated 6'1" guys, 5'8" guys and 5'6" guys and I've gotta say it was easiest logistically with the 5'8" guy. At my height (5'5.5"), 5'8" is the sweet spot where in high/platform heels I can be taller, mid heels I'm the same height, and low heels and flats he's taller, so everybody wins and relative heights can be changed around at will. Kissing really tall dudes is fucking hard, and it's annoying dating guys so short that you literally can't wear heels around them without making them feel insecure. Overall though height's pretty low down on my list of qualities I value in a partner, and I don't understand girls who think a guy being short is a dealbreaker.

>> No.8023246

>>8023243
Anon, I think girls who literally won't date guys shorter than them are stupid, but I can also sorta understand the sentiment because a lot of girls are short to the point where a guy shorter than them would be a literal dwarf - a 5'2" girl is a little shorter than average, but a 5'1" guy is completely abnormal. Then girls that are tall enough that a guy that is shorter than them could still just be in the "a little shorter than average" guy range are likely to be self-conscious about their height already and don't want it accentuated by a short partner.

I went to a sorta cosplay related event a few days ago. It was okay. Was not sure if I'd go, as traveling that far is expensive and had to skip a meetup to go. Couldn't finish my cosplay in time, which I planned to finish on the bus.

Went alone as usual, and didn't really know anyone. I was so excited before I got there, but then I got really shy and nervous and couldn't talk freely to anyone. Spent all the time alone, but ended up in some groups now and then, and joining a group playing spin the bottle before it ended, and then not leaving those who remained when spin-the-bottle ended. I was mostly watching people having fun and trying to stalk their conversations. The best part was the quiz, where I got into a team, and then saying bye to them when I had to run to reach the train. There was also someone I spent a day with at a convention once there. Probably tried to ignore me and stay away from me, but wanted a pokemon battle. I had no pokemon to battle with.

As I said, it was okay. Nothing amazing, but was some sort of social interaction. But now I feel a little down about various things. I have no friends there. They all knew each other and were talking about what they do, and meet each other regularly. Also, I don't watch much Disney movies, because that's something you do with friends. And I also remember seeing a movie theater setting up Lion King a few years ago, and I wish I could go with someone. And pokemon. Unlike them, I dont have any friends to play with. They can meet each other over and over to challenge each other or just play pokemon together. I think pokemon loses so much fun when you don't have anyone to play with.

Not really any really worthwhile feels I know, but I just wanted to say it.

Don't get me started on the potty training shit. My 2.5 year old is still in Diapers because she refuses to use the bathroom at home. However, at Grandmom's or at church, she uses it an even asks for it. The only time she asks to use the potty is if we're at Lowe's. No matter what we do, she refuses to use it at home and hates underwear.

Wow, this made me unbelievably angry. Just because it's labelled "birth control" doesn't mean that's what everyone's using it for. Mention that you're worried his vasectomy will reverse itself and that you're not ready for another kid. Either that, or find a new gyno all together.

Also, talk to your kids. Make it clear that those are the things they asked for when you were making up christmas lists, and they're being little brats when you could have given them nothing. Tell them that you're disappointed in their behaviour, and that it really when they were being so ungrateful over the gifts you gave them. Threatening to cancel next christmas (or at least gift-giving) if they don't straighten up their act is optional, but keep it in the back of your mind if they're going to keep being shits like that. Also, really emphasize it's supposed to be the thought that counts.

2.5 is old enough to just take away the diapers. If she's selectively asking to go, it's a choice. If she had a problem or wasn't ready, she'd still go in the diapers all the time. Just explain then be tough and remove them in the daytime. There may be a few tantrums and messes but then it will just be done. She may legit still need them at night for a while though. Restrict liquids after dinner and get a before-bed potty-sitting routine going. When she has dry mornings for a while transition to none at all.

He tried to get me into it and defend him on some chat but I told him no, that's stupid and I don't give a damn about that series so he refused to talk to me.

He's a hardcore Monogatari fan too so when I told him I liked everything but Hitagi he got mad again because Monogatari is the best anime of the year (and ever) just because his loli waifu is in it.

It's going to become more common as Lolitas and cosplayers have families though. At least I hope they won't stop their hobbies completely due to kids.

I think its poor taste to post such trivial information about your child everywhere, other people in the threads were talking about feels they can't really express that freely otherwise.

There's a difference between
"My Children did this and its making me feel and Its something I can't talk about that freely so here I am doing it anon on 4chan"
"Here is my child in a topic of relevant discussion"
and
"Hey look world, here is my child, and I am going to say the same exact thing about said child everywhere, so I can make sure everyone knows about my child"

I've noticed that too. I understand. Some people just don't like dealing with other people's kid and some are just annoying as hell. Probably add on how some people get pressured by others because they don't want kids and are constantly told they'll change their mind or they're selfish for not wanting to pop babies out.

I have friends who don't want kids and even though I have one of my own. I hate hearing people say stuff like that. Not everybody wants or is ready to have them. I respect their wishes not to have kids. They're more then happy to give mine attention and had him off to mom and dad afterwards.

This is just me because I absolutely hate playing the keyboard due to how it feels on my fingers, but why not get a stage piano instead of a keyboard?
Unless that's what you meant, go for it. They end up slightly more expensive than a keyboard would because most (all?) stage pianos don't have built in speakers so that's a lot of accessories you need for it.
I decided on the best quality piano instead of going down in quality a bit so I could afford a stage piano and speakers for it. Sometimes I regret the decision because it could be nice to take it to family gatherings or even ask the local community if they want live music for parties and whatnot. So go for it!

Like a clavinova, stage piano, or keyboard? A good clavinova is awesome for not disturbing others when you practice, but not as portable as a keyboard and you have to be careful when transporting it.

Everyone, get a real piano. 15 years ago I was having trouble with practice on a keyboard, because the feeling was not the same as the real thing and, especially, because it had not enough keys. It's super expensive, but it's a life investment. Then you plan meets at your house to show off your mad skillz. Pianos have a mute pedal you can use to practice at night.

Or a clavinova, that's ok too.

Only problem is that you can't really take a piano anywhere, so I'm thinking nof getting a melodica to play at parties and so on

The IW Happy Packs came out earlier than I expected this year, I've never been quick enough to get one, and I want one so desperately. So I didn't have enough money saved up to put in a reservation. My boyfriend says he will buy it for me as an early birthday gift, and I'm over the moon! But I didn't get in in time, and got placed on the waiting list. After the usual week waiting there was no e-mail from IW about cancellations so I was sad. A week later I go on holidays. I return from a week and a bit "holiday" from the middle of nowhere (this place has no internet or mobile phone reception) to find an e-mail from IW requesting payment for a happy pack as there was cancellations..

From a non-lolita perspective, wear a sports bra. I'm a 32G and wear sports bras with almost all my normal shirts to make them fit right.
