I day dream all the time of making a great cosplay with friends and being liked and admired by everyone who I meet, photos taken and spread across the internet and admired even more by others who see it, but it's just a fantasy, kinda sucks.

How do you muster the strength and confidence to just talk to people?
Every single night, I tell myself "Why are you such a fucking pussy? Just get out there, open your mouth and say shit. Talk. Make friends and a significant other", and then I promise I'll do it the next time I'm outside, but I just can't.
It's impossible. I feel like I'm a bother to people and they couldn't possibly like me, so I stay away. Not only that, but in the rare moments I am with people, I usually have nothing to say, or at least nothing that could possibly interest them.
I can't get through a conversation just by asking questions, but things seem to die off very quickly if I make statements at the same time. Either people don't like me so they cut things short, or I'm just bad at talking. I feel like it's both.
Please help me.

And now just because it's not dumping feet of snow anymore, the temperature (in Fahrenheit) is in the teens on a -good- day and usually in the single digits if not negatives normally.
If I walk out my back porch I can't move from all the snow. My boyfriend has to even go buy me new boots because mine became so saturated with snow melt and salt that the soles came apart.

Though it amuses me: The hypocrisy of some feminists who claim that the patriarchy infantilizes women, yet they're also infantilizing women by implying women don't "know" what they're choosing when they dress themselves.
Maybe some women want to be youthful, and some women want to be sexual.
Those two traits tend to be fun as opposed to..what exactly? Aged and boring I suppose? I feel like these girls like in that pic are jealous and would want any woman dressed in a more expressive way than them thrown into a potato sack burka instead.

Not even that anon but you assume a lot.
My thrift store, if it does get good winter stuff, is sold out almost immediately because it's in high demand right now. If anon is murrican and living on the east coast like me it's been rough. Even people I know who liked to jog outside during light snow refuse to be out for longer than 15 minutes if they can help it. Most people are calling cabs since they're unable to walk to work like they typically do. It doesn't matter how warm you think you're dressing, you're putting yourself at dangerous risk to be outside for more than you need to when it's freezing.

I actually agree with what the girl in pic related is saying, that adult men need to be held accountable when they knowingly become involved in sexual relationships with underage girls.

But it was totally stupid for her to post this to your page when it's not related to you at all. I guess she thinks your fashion is 'infantilizing' you, and she wants you to know that. What a passive aggressive bitch move.

I'd say just not respond, and brush it off. I would be annoyed AF too, but it's not worth getting involved with, especially if you're not even friends with her.

It's regularly in the negative for the past month where I am, and honestly it's not that bad. I have a class that requires standing, (not even briskly walking) outside for two hours. Compared to that, hiking around the trails on my campus is great

It's also worth mentioning that my parka cost 25$ and I don't have any other special gear besides a thrift store wool sweater and a fleece neckwarmer I can pull up over my nose

You have a buddy system when you're outside with your class though. If one of you gets too cold then I'm sure someone has the common sense to excuse them or lead them back. Contrary to popular belief walking is still a form of exercise, especially in a lot of snow, ice, and slush. It's not wise to exert oneself alone in that situation.

You're picking on an anon who obviously might not have access to proper winter gear and telling them to go out in freezing temperatures, by themselves, because they gained a bit of weight which is actually not uncommon at all during northern winters. I don't want to turn this into an argument, but seriously that sounds like a legitimate reason to not want to be outside.

This is literally my first post and I go out walking by myself all the time. I'm not really invested in the weight discussion, I just think it's silly to say you can't walk in the winter. It's gorgeous right now. I doubt walking even burns enough calories to do much, but it's fun and easy.

Also, you can't leave the class and you're required to stay out for the entire time or you fail it. Hell, there's a four hour tracking class happening right now.

Over a month ago, I ordered one of my dreamu dresses from a shopping service. She shipped it via EMS, and my package has literally been "dispatch from office of outward exchange" (whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean) in Tokyo for a month.

My local lolita community doesn't invite me anymore to meets. It hurts when I see their meetup pictures posted all over FB when I know I haven't even been invited.
I am really hurt and I talked to one of them, she told me I should just join the FB group (which I avoid due to some people I don't want to see) and she says it's nothing personal.
But this person was supposed to be my best friend and ever since she's got a new boyfriend last summer, she's been blatantly avoiding to see me and only talks to me like once in a blue moon.

The heat isn't a problem as much as the sudden downpours that last for either ten minutes or four hours at a time. They're completely random sometimes and when scheduling outdoor events they can be a huge problem. They range from absolutely nothing to terrible thunderstorms and the weather is always so fickle.

There's also the humidity that comes from leftover showers that makes even walking outside uncomfortable and exhausting when you're wearing a cosplay with layers. And with the rainy season around the corner, things are going to be awful.

I think the best way I've heard it told is "Put your wet clothes in the dryer and let it run for 15 minutes, then stick your head in and that's what Florida feels like 80% of the time."

I'm kind of glad I cut those people out of my life once I went to college.

I remember being that 3edgy5me kid in high school who didn't want to become the 'stereotypical' good kid with good grades who goes to grad school, but I guess that's where I am now herp herp. And I'm happy that I'm in it - I enjoy my work, I will hopefully get a job in two weeks or so, and once I get it I can start spending my hard earned money on lolita.

I think it's because you've planned your life out well (and a bit of luck) that you're still like that anon. It shows that you're much more mature and a much better planner than your friends. TBH they sound really toxic - I can't judge from a single greentext post, but you shouldn't listen to them and keep doing what you want to do because honestly, it's your life, and once you have everything together you can do what you want.

Not her, but it's entirely implausible. A big problem with the holocaust is the blanket acceptance of eyewitness testimony because documentary evidence is hard to come by.

I'm guessing most of the girls with polfag bfs come from 1st gen immigrant families - meaning they're probably left-leaning but definitely not SJW tier. Add that on to passing racism from family, it makes it pretty easy to let racist stuff slide, and makes white guys a more attractive mate.

You see I'm not the type of seagull that calls everyone fat or thinks that everyone fat is the same way. As long as you're not wearing lime green spandex shorts and your stomach is literally stressing your hem line to the point of popping I don't really mind or care. I usually try to ignore many comments but I feel bad because I want to do certain cosplays but I can't due to me height at 188cm, or because I'm black and not white or asian or petite, or because I have big lips so I can't cross play. Some people in the past took pictures just because I'm black which made me feel more self conscious.

I seriously don't understand why people with thin lips want fat or big lips. It both shocks me and makes me annoyed because I would have to have surgery to get the 'perfect' body for myself since they are a glaring factor in cosplay and no matter what I do I can't make them thinner. I know this isn't a hug box but many times when I lurk here I just feel bad. Like what if I try hard and end up in the bad cosplay thread because I didn't bind right, I didn't wear the right shape ware for my hips. a seam is out, I didn't do my wig right, I didn't do this or that right, or just because I'm black.

I'm the poster from >>8154319, I wonder if maybe you'd be better off going to school and taking gen ed classes until you figure out what you want to do in life. When I was in art school I didn't really like drawing for fun outside of class like it seemed everyone else in my school did. I eventually decided that art wasn't really a career goal, I was better off doing it as a hobby. If you really hate college you could try taking a semester off and just practicing art at home, or maybe even just do some commissions so you're getting practice while making money.

Part of my problem was that all through high school, I wanted to be a mangaka, and I'd never really considered any career options besides that. Then when I got to art school the teachers were hugely biased against anime, so all of a sudden I didn't really have any direction for where I wanted to go in life, and I didn't really even know what other career options there were. Once I switched over to "normal" college all of a sudden I was around all these different people doing all these different things and I just saw a lot more possibilities for my life. Also, don't forget, it's not so much having the piece of paper that says you graduated from college, it's having the experience to do the job, that's what employers look for. If you really want to do JRPG characters, just practice a whole bunch, whether you graduate from college or not.

The mother ran around and had four litters of kittens before we could finally catch her and have her spayed. We homed every single one of those kittens except for him. Do you know how hard it is to find homes for 15 kittens?

I have three cats and two dogs already (one of them was his sister, we chose her to bring in because at least we wouldn't have another female out there) so we can't really bring him inside. We feed and water him, we built him a shelter where he's warm and dry. This area has a ton of farms that are overrun with cats, the shelters are full 24/7. Nobody wants to take in a cat that's older than 4 months without their shots, etc. I'm not made of money, and as I said, my parents refuse to help. To them he's 'just' an outside cat.

>Also, don't forget, it's not so much having the piece of paper that says you graduated from college, it's having the experience to do the job, that's what employers look for.
Maybe for some fields, but that's patently false for most. In fact, it's the opposite. Employers want a degree, any degree, because it shows dedication and commitment, but they often prefer degrees unrelated to whatever it is the job you're performing will be. You can't learn the specifics of a job in college, only through on-the-job training, and if you come into it with a head full of "knowledge" about the task then you won't listen as well and assume you know it already.

How do you handle not having a family? My childhood was really dysfunctional so as soon as possible I got the fuck out of dodge. I thought I was ok on my own. But when me and my boyfriend started to get serious I grew really close to his family. It felt so nice going somewhere and having a mother figure to get love from. I've never seen a mom who bakes and gives kisses and likes to talk about normal girl things. But it didn't last. My boyfriend has a sister and apparently she has been addicted to drugs and in and out of prison for years. I didn't know any of this and didn't really guard myself around her. She eventually stole my wallet and took over 500 dollars from my bank account. I obviously pressed charges and she went back to prison. That's when all the stories about her threatening her ex boyfriends kids and keying his other sisters car came out. I thought it was a shit situation but it was over and behind me. But after that his family started to treat me differently and I later found out they blamed me for her going to jail. They genuinely didn't understand why I pressed charges. His mom is still nice to me but it's not the same and I really feel like my eyes were opened. Obviously I shouldn't expect to be chosen over their own flesh and blood. But for a while there I was really feeling like I was a part of something I never even knew I wanted. Now I just feel so lonely. Like is family even a real thing or am I just sad over something that doesn't exist? Me and my boyfriend are still very much together and I love him. If anyone is my family I suppose it's him. But I can't help but dream about the other stuff. I guess the only thing a girl can depend on is her burando.

family exists. most families don't have fucked up klepto felons for kids.

i guess if you had to describe family it would be friends but on a higher level. you back each other up, help each other out, hang out with each other, buy each other stuff, make time for them, and don't really expect anything at all for it. think of the relationship you have with your BF (is he still your BF?). you love each other, do stuff for each other, etc. it's like that, but there's more of them around. it also overrides a lot of other relationships. family first, then friends, then people you work with, people you kind of see from time to time, and somewhere at the bottom are people you don't know.

moms also have a certain way of loving their kids even when they do stupid shit. you've probably heard of the phrase "a face only a mother could love." replace it with "a daughter only a mother could love" and you're on the same track. everyone else in the world would see that daughter as being bad and would want to cut ties with them because they're not worth the trouble.

>> No.8154809

I think you might have handled it wrong, in a 'normal family', affairs are handled internally. If someone screws you over you talk with the parents. Its about not bringing in outsiders and loyalty to your kind. Even if there a trainwrek you gotta support them cause their family, and try to help them out and change their ways

His mom probably was thinking about you as family but felt betrayed when you pressed charges. Not because 'omg you hurt my poor daughter' but because you treated them like an outsider. Outsiders turn to the police if things go wrong with someone in the family, family members turn to each.

I think you should talked with your bfs parents about this. Maybe even apologize for handling it wrong. They will probably understand your point of view once they realize you had a dysfunctional childhood. People are much more understanding after a nice long talk.

At a certain point you have to cut the fucking cord. If anon has proven herself to be a good person, and the sister is a piece of shit, the family should have the sense to either have done something about it, or to not get pissy when she did something about it. Clearly they know their daughter sucks.

I disagree, but we obviously don't share the same cultural values. Depends how anon handled the situation, I guess.

It looks like you're doing crossplay makeup tbh. It looks like there's no mascara or w/e and the brown liner with the loud sweet print is unnerving and clashes. That combined with lack of other apparent makeup for the most part is extremely unsettling. Unsettling is the wrong word but I can't think of the right one to use. It just looks wrong somehow.

You need more blush, line your lower lashes a little at least, put a little pink on your lips. As of now you just look like a teenage boy in a wig.

The color of your wig doesn't go well with your skin tone either. It can be hard to find the right shades to match your skin properly but I feel that you could benefit from a darker colored wig, and something with less volume that won't eat your head as much.

As for the star clips, they just don't match and look stupid AF with chess choco.

Umf, I know that feel. Hell, it took a long time to decide what lolita pieces worked best for me. I still can't decide which lolita style to stick to. My wardrobe consists of gothic, sweet, and classic pieces. I feel like my wardrobe would be way bigger if I just stuck to one.

I definitely had to get rid of my fairy-kei pieces (which sucked because they were so cute and the cheapest to obtain). I realized that pastels looked bad on me and I'd probably wear them a handful of times a year.

I guess in short, take a good look at your wardrobe and figure out what suits your daily lifestyle the best. It's ok to keep some pieces if they're sentimental, but I think that the best pieces are the ones you know that you'll use the most. Trying to match pieces with others (to see the number of outfit possibilities) help too.
