I feel like I'm losing interest in the lolita community. Not the clothes, just the people. I have my friends from the community and like them just fine, but we've had a surge of new people recently and I just can't with their stupid newbie questions and newbie attitudes. I'm feeling burnt out and even drama on cgl barely holds my interest like it used to. I don't know what to do... should I take a break from the community or should I just push through it and hope it'll go away?

Also I've had a lot of personal problems recently that could be adding to my stress, I don't want to duck out of the community when the reality could be I just am overwhelmed by outside stuff and the comm isn't the issue at all.

I hope this makes sense.

Anon, I'm as anti-tumblr speak as the next person, but there definitely is such a thing as emotionally abusive friendships. It's someone you're close to, someone you trust who can take advantage of your sympathies and feelings for them, they don't have to be a romantic partner in order to abuse you. Sure, "abuse" is overused on tumblr, definitely, but that doesn't mean that isn't the anon's case.

Thank you anon. It's that emotional abuse is very hard to spot and usually no one but the real victim understand. A typical example is when a girl paint as the abuser her bf becuase he snapped at her being insulting to him and also accuse him of false rape. That is a form of emotional abuse where the real victim (the guy) is painted as the monster and the fake victim is the tumblr type girl that bwhaha victim, femnazing and recruiting everyone to her pity party. I'm a girl and even friends do this not only partners. Now i understand all the tumblr pity party rape stuff and victim complexes i see from SJWs. People is free to not believe me and think i'm the abuser, but it's ok. It's really hard to spot this manipulation, i cant blame them.

Emotional abuse is real and in my country it counts as abuse. Emiotional abuse isn't 'just fighting'. Fighting happens between persons who are on the same level. Abuse happens when one is in some aspect in a lower level, such as a child f.e.
When f.e. a partner continuesly belittles the victim's problems, makes them feel guilty to have control over them, persuades them to not pursue their goals or constantly insults them this counts as emotional abuse.

>Emotional abuse is real
Nobody said it wasn't. But anon isn't a child and they aren't in a relationship or married. When friends have a fall out and disagree on things, that is not 'emotional abuse'. One asking the other to apologise and the other thinking she hasn't done anything wrong is not 'emotional abuse'. It would be emotional abuse if she constantly and aggressively insulted her, belittled her and turned everyone against her, what we in non-SJW countries call 'bullying'. As I highly doubt she had done that (since anon would not have been so reluctant to get the fuck away), it is not emotional abuse.
The reason emotional abuse happens more often in a family or between partners is because one party usually emotionally manipulates the other and conditions them into staying. With friends it's a bit more difficult since it's not as close of a bond as it is in romantic relationships or families.

>> No.8554206

>>8554180
You said it right. Most people undermine emotional abuse or say the real victim is too much emotional/an ass/a bitch because they try to say the truth but they are ignored cause people thinks you are crazy, while the covert manipulator accuse others of make him or her sad all the time with no mercy. Infact i'm in a lower level where i can't do much than not snapping and not being involved. Now this person is slowly trying to abuse the person i loved, accusing him of hurt her mood or some sneaky stuff i didn't get it. My country counts more physical abuse than emotional but it could happen there are sufficient witnessing to find the real predator.

Many, many, many times i was bullied but no one would understand me because i was reacting to their action and defend myself with words (no insults).

Just keep doing what you're doing, and make sure you're sincere about it. I find that when you're sincere, people find it harder and harder to hate you, and the ones who do get called out on it. Maybe spend more time in smaller groups (or one-on-one) and get to know them better?

>look at bf's fb and realize he's bitching about not being able to go to LARP gatherings and concerts back home because he's working
>mfw

Honestly it's only been two months and he's scaring me because he's acting like such a baby about not being able to have "fun" and having adult priorities. I don't even know why he's claiming he never has fun because I take him to his weekly LARP events. And while I know my parents are fucking assholes, they're letting us stay here rent-free. My bf snarls about wanting to move out the second we save up enough, but I told him to chill out because it's a HUGE advantage for us not having a monthly $800-1000 rent bill that we frankly can't afford. He's already been nailed twice for non-payment by his private student loans for when he dropped out of college (~$400+ bills both times), and I know had we been living on our own we wouldn't have been able to make rent with him having those payments due.
So it pisses me off that he doesn't even want to save $3k for a used vehicle, since securing one will only be HARDER on us if we move out. I feel like the only one with common sense sometimes.

Posing it here because I really wish I could find a genuine cosplay big sister. There's this girl in my town I've always admired, but I don't even know if she's even a huge cosplayer anymore. I know she has a lifetime pass to D*con though, so maybe I'm just looking for excuses.

I'm an agoraphobic brown NEET who only goes to four or five cons a year and she's super cute and I just :(

That's actually a really good idea. I've tried before, but she really likes Jesse from Toy Story. Maybe we can do something with that. She really doesn't care for costuming in the slightest, though. And definitely doesn't look up to me lol I'm the nerd sister, she's the "popular" one. I use that loosely because we're both well liked, but she follows trends more than I do, and she actually grew out of her nerdshit phase. So she usually bullies me about going to cons and watching anime still. Maybe I have sister issues.

Tumblr over uses the term abused, yeah. But, friendships can be abusive, too.

>This just in
I had been trying to sell some dresses to help my father with expenses with little luck, I pay for my brand and wouldnt resort to this method if it werent because I recently lost my job.

Hes never really cared about my fashion but lately hes been particularly intolerant. Anyway, my mother made a harmless comment about my closet which got him going, saying things like I should sell everything and what not. He was aware I was trying to sell 4; I told him that would be a really hard task and that I wouldnt want to.
Things escalated quickly, I tried to make him understand that they made me happy but he replied by stating he indeed didnt care how I felt about my dresses and if I didnt sell all of them hed throw them away.
knowing my dad, hes not the kind to break his threats, Im contacting friends to ask for a place to hide them.
Of course I am heartbroken and Im doing everything within my power to find another job and move out.

It's Tumblr's fault to misuse the term. Infact i blamed the SJWs for this trend, now many people believes talking about being abused emotionally or physically is a joke. There are many cases of fake accuses (usually from people that has personality disorders) that ruin people's lives and not only done by partners. And usually the real victim is left in a corner while the predator put a victim mask and let them know he/she did nothing, but hide their true intentions and their reckless choices choosing a scapegoat or trying to lure them into a friendship/love relationship and grooming you to fall for their trap. Nowadays fake feminists and "men's rights" members are like this. And people despise feminism due to these shit tier individuals.

My friend introduced me to his younger siblings recently. Mainly because his brother wants to cosplay with us and his sister wants a gaijin gyaru friend (they're Japanese).
And I feel really gross, but they're really attractive teenagers. His family has good genes lemme tell you.
But he figured out I'm attracted to them and is teasing me about it non-stop. Just to be a dick, he even told them to call me oneesan because I sorta have a thing for pseudo incest.

We're going to be going to a con together in a few months and I just about cried when his brother came up to me and was like, "oneesan, if I cosplayed Homura, would you be my Madoka?" The kid already fucking knows I can't say no to him, so I'm going to have to deal with an underaged trap clinging to me all con, wanting to due cutesy poses for pictures.

Remembering I'd go to jail for trying anything is a really good way to keep myself in check.
It's only when you find yourself attracted to a 15 year old that you realize 21 is older than you thought.

I cosplay and have been trying to make more cosplay friends... Basically everyone I have met at cons seem super nice, so we exchange social media shit and follow each other. Usually a week later they unfollow me. They are just trying to get another follower??? Is that normal?!

I guess the thing that really pisses me off is the fact that I have a group of friends I go to cons with already, so I feel like what is the point of making the effort anymore?

My close friends don't really cosplay though and aren't as into going to cons so overall it is just a shitty situation.

Not cosplay or lolita, but definitely /cgl/-related:

When I first started coming here I was 19, though I've been on 4chan a lot longer than that. I hadn't even known that there was a 'girl board' and discussing 'girl things' on 4chan seemed like an oxymoron at the time.
I had a badly dyed pixie cut then, my makeup was atrocious, I was a weeblet. My eyebrows were 50 shades of terrible.

Thanks to you guys I was able to better myself in ways I hadn't thought possible. My skin looks so much better now. Special thanks to the seagull who recommended homemade vitamin C, after weeks of usage and a bump up to 15% I saw my first signs of improvement today. Unfortunately I'm not one of those people who look better with their natural hair colour but thanks to you guys I was able to figure out what suits me and what doesn't, how not to dress like a retard and a bunch of other useful things.

Cattiness and drama-mongering aside, this is what has me coming back every day. No fake niceness, no upvotes, no usernames or credit, people give advice out of their own good will without expecting anything in return.

If only /r9k/ would fuck off.

I love you, /cgl/.

I think you need to work through your agoraphobia first.

If the same is for you then I suggest doing smaller scale things that get you away from home more often, even if it's simply just to get supplies for your hobby.

Sure thing!
>1.5 tsp L-ascorbic acid
>7 1/2 tsp distilled water
>2 tsp + glycerin (depending on whether you want a thicker consistency or not)

This makes a batch of 15% vitamin C serum. You need at least 10% for it to work, but you should start with 5% and gradually increase the concentration so as not to irritate your skin. I haven't done this, but my skin is normally resilient so please be careful.

10% measurements would be:
>1 tsp LAA
>8 tsp dist. water
>X tsp glycerin (depends on whether you want it stickier or not)

Some people also add liquorice and other fancy stuff but I personally don't bother.

You need an opaque glass bottle with a dropper/pipette or spray cap. I use the pipette one, got it on eBay. Make sure to thoroughly disinfect the bottle and dry it.

Next, use electrical tape or masking tape or something to cover as much surface of the bottle as you can. All this hassle is because LAA oxidises in UV light and becomes ineffective.
Be as accurate as you can, and use pH strips to measure the acidity of your serum. Ideally it should be between 2-3.5, any lower and it's too harsh, any higher and it's too mild. You can decrease the acidity of your serum by adding a smidgen of baking soda, but I don't know how to make it more acidic so please be careful.

Generally you should use this within 2-3 weeks, the amount of usage you'll get out of it depends on how you store it. Some people refrigerate it, I don't. I keep mine on a shelf in my walk-in wardrobe. It's impossible for me to use it all up in the span of 3 weeks, but the good thing about this is that it's so cheap in the long run you can slather yourself with it as much as you want (just don't get it into your eyes, it BURNS). I use it on my legs, armpits, face and neck.

I hate the HAES movement. I'm a fat fuck and the other few fat fucks I know are all aware that being fat is shit, not fun and are trying to change it (with varying degrees of success).

One side supports HAES and tells people they shouldn't lose weight, actively shame skinny people and other shit. The orginal message of "just be comfortable with yourself" isn't even bad, I mean nobody gets better by feeling like shit 24/7 but it has devolved into what HAES is today.

The other side has developed a kneejerk reaction towards HAES and thanks to that think all fat people should be shamed into losing weight despite that working for only 1 in 10 people.

Well, she's always been pretty big. She is from France, so she has always had access to pastries and fresh made stuff like that. Her family also cooks huge portions of food, and she always would take two or three plates extra, even though one serving was more than enough for your average person. At some point her parents started telling her to stop eating so much, and ever since she got into HAES, she's been saying that her parents starved her and she doesn't know what real hunger feels like and blah blah blah. She also has some chronic illness that causes her pain, but she managed it fine before. Now that she has gotten so big, she can't really move without severe pain, so she just stays in bed all day. She refuses to listen to anyone when they say that it's probably directly related to her weight, and says they're fatphobic (she actually uses that word). The weight has also made it difficult for her to control her bladder, so sometimes even after she goes to the bathroom with help, she'll still piss herself. She talks about this stuff publicly, but she's isolated all her old friends that would tell her that she's causing all this on herself, so now the only people that talk to her are other HAES types.

Just choose what you think is mildly interesting to study for 4 years. Getting a degree wont give you job experience and it wont pigeonhold you into certain jobs. You just have to get a degree. Like if you want to go work with people, you are better off doing something that gives you experience with working with people (volunteering works here too) and maybe you can say that a social science is more relevant but it isnt really. You arent supposed to fit a degree, you are supposed to tailor your education to your wants as you go.

Because no-one can say what the studies will be like for everyone. Instead of focusing on what you fit into and what you love, why not focus on what you like/what seems interesting?

I know this is unpopular advice but few people actually really love what they study. Some grow to love it when they get good at it, some grow to love it regardless, some only do it because it's the only thing they got into.

My uncle is one of the top maxillofacial surgeons in the country. You know how he got his degree? He went to college because of a girl, and decided to finish it after she dumped him.

My mum wanted to get a degree in literature but after seeing what a fuckfest it was, she decided to study economics instead.

At the end of the day it's not which degree you fit, it's how hard you work and how good the university/polytech is. If it's a shitty, negative environment full of corrupt staff you're more likely to drop out than from a place with a good atmosphere and services. If you know your degree is useless you'll end up hating it too.

Relax, anon. Do what you like best and what gets you your foot in the door. You don't need to love it or obsess over it.

It might be a good idea to attend an open university lecture just to get a feel of what you're getting into, or look for some lectures on youtube.

I used to think everyone who'd applied for intl business was super knowledgeable and well-educated but come entrance exam I met people who had a very poor grasp of the English language to say the least. Many of them had no idea what they were gonna be studying, even, and their maths skills were terrible. I thought I couldn't compete with everyone but I got in easy-peasy.

To tell you the truth, I had been just as clueless but the difference is I actually took the time to inform myself about the degree and thoroughly research everything while many others just showed up unprepared.

If everyone else is better, that means you need to study even harder and catch up. Simple as that.

I really wish more people would be honest with this.
I'm an Accounting major, about to start my senior year and getting ready for recruiting and all that.
It's not the most exciting job ever, no, but recruiters always shoot me down just because I'm not dripping in enthusiasm for taxes, like everyone else in my major is apparently doing.
I'm just doing it because it pays good and I can handle the overload of numbers, but you can't say that in an interview.

All you are doing is wasting resources that are given to you to help you be equal to normal people. It is normal for someone to do that, whether it is a physical handicap, a mental illness, or even a minority that faces discrimination. Legally the work has to accommodate to that so why not use what you need? You will never be like normal people and you need to accept that it makes you 'special', and trying to pretend you are better than other people who have a mental illness is more special snowflakey than to admit you need help now and then.

Like it or not, that's her car. She isn't the problem. It's more than appropriate, even common, for a post-graduate student to move back in with the parents while they find jobs.

I've always been self-conscious because of a large face mole. Recently I saved up the money and was willing to pay anything to get it off. I went to a dermatologist to get the OK to get it removed by plastic surgeon and she suggested we do a shave not an excision because of the placement and size/shape. So I agreed.

It's been two weeks and it's healing well. By that I mean it's closed up. And still there. It might be about half the size but it's still there. I think I feel worse about it than I did. It's now red, inflamed and still raised. I went through all that time, money, and pain, as well as embarassment of giant bandaids on my face, etc... and it's still there. Obviously still there.

Your issue is not with "their own parents" vs "someone elses parents". It's entirely with "man" vs "woman".

In your eyes, if a guy lives with his parents he's a loser, if he lives with someone elses parents he's a loser. But if a girl live with her parents she't totally responsible and justified, and if she lives with someone elses parents she's totally responsible and justified.

The proof is in the fact that I know every single one of you has used "you live with your parents" as an insult when you think you're arguing with a man, and that no women (or at least not anyone admitting to being a woman) responded to my post pointing out that if the genders in the situation were swapped, you'd still be mad at a the boyfriend and sympathetic with the girlfriend, because you're just automatically always mad at men and take womens side no matter what.

Where the fuck did I imply that. Did you not see me say the girlfriend got her car for free from her parents?

The boyfriend and girlfriend both put the exact same amount of effort into getting a car, but the girl was just lucky enough to be born to parents that would completely buy one for her. Yet somehow just by being born lucky you all claim she's responsible and somehow earned the car.

>Like it or not, that's her car.

Oh how could I overlook this. I'm arguing with women, of course they believe getting handed stuff for free is a valid source of independence. Women rely on getting given free stuff their entire lives so of course they'd convince themselves that they somehow "earned" all the free stuff they get over their lives.

No further questions asked, you just see those words and immediately dismiss him as a loser. There's absolutely no benefit of the doubt like you'd give to a woman who says she's unemployed.

I'd understand if a guy was unemployed because he just graduated and finding major work is rough. I'd understand if he lived with his parents for the same reasons.

It's just hard to care much for a 23 year-old doing retail work and having to live with his SO's parents because he'd rather spend his paycheck on LARPing instead of rent or a car.

And I think all of your continued refusal to acknowledge that if this story had the genders reversed that you'd be even MORE mad at the boyfriend only proves that I'm right, you know I'm right, but you just don't want to admit it.

I'm honestly tempted to wait a while and come back here pretending to be a girl so I can tell a greentext story about how I have a job, but my boyfriend doesn't, lives with his parents, and doesn't even want to drive me around anywhere with the car his parents bought him and gets mad at me for buying dresses instead of stuff for him.

Depends on what the degree is.
Also, no a degree doesn't spawn money, but it's why she's living with her parents. It's only temporary until she finds work. But it shows more effort than her freeloading bf in the long-term (long = 1 year or two). It means she has higher potential of moving out sooner since degree-work pays more than shit retail.

Because i've seen plenty of these threads before and in literally every one I see every woman in them says a guy should automatically be dumped if he doesn't have a job. Nobody ever asks questions or assumes he might have a reason just "NO JOB INSTA-DUMP". And that goes DOUBLE if it gets out he still lives at home. Literally the only time ever ever seen someone give a guy the benefit of the doubt in those scenarios is this thread right now, and that's just because you're pretending to think that way to prove me wrong. I've seen people calling someones boyfriend a "threat" because he got fired. I tried saying that's out of peoples control and was instantly dismissed by women saying "No. Normal people don't get fired. He must have done something wrong. Dump him".

Absolutely no sympathy or attempt to assume anything but the worst about him based JUST on hearing "boyfriend got fired".

And herein lies the root of this problem as well as so many others. You can't separate your assumptions from fact. The original posts in regards to things like this often only have a single line mentioning something about the boyfriend, yet from hearing any of those words like "fired" or "unemployed" you just automatically assume he MUST have all other manner of things wrong with him.

Maybe it's just a self defense mechanism for womens egos. You know all you care about in a guy is how much money he gives you, but don't want to admit it. So when you find out a guy can't give you much money you instantly want to leave him, but to protect your ego and pretend you aren't as shallow as you are you assume he must also be an awful person in all kinds of other ways.

the posts by seagulls have listed other shit the boyfriend is or is not doing.

think of it as a business transaction. your parents put up with you because they expect you to become a functional, valuable member of society and to the family (along with the whole you are made from them thing). businesses put up with employees because they do what the employer wants without being a hindrance and if they do become a hindrance they are canned. employees decide whether stress they get from a job is worth staying for. an investor pumping money into a company has to decide if the business is viable and if it isn't then they have to decide whether to kill it or cut funding.

finally, people with shitty boyfriends have to ask themselves what they are getting out of the relationship and whether it balances out or if it goes negative, and if they expect to ever get anything good out of the other. if it's all take from the other person (money, time, emotional bullshit, etc) with no expected benefits, why stay with them?

>You know all you care about in a guy is how much money he gives you

Welp, the femanon in question won't have to be worrying about that, since the amount of dosh the loser she's dating is gonna be a whopping fat $0 so long as he keeps blowing off his bills and spending any cash on LARP.

All of your projecting is making me uncomfortable, tbqh.
Sorry you don't have a gf, anon.

>finally, people with shitty boyfriends have to ask themselves
But of course NEVER people with shitty girlfriends because a REAL MAN will just always go into relationships expecting it to be a massive financial drain (and probably emotional too) but never complain because that's just what a REAL MAN does. Give and give and give and never complain or expect anything at all in return because that's just how you're supposed to treat ladies ;)

Oh is "boyfriend" a gender neutral term for "partner" now?

Nobody kept me in on that loop.

Cause I mean if it isn't, then I just find it a little odd how she went through tons of different scenarios of life and how both parties need to weigh the costs and benefits of their exchanges, but then when it got to relationships suspiciously mentioned only how women should leave if the relationship isn't going well for them, almost as if to say men shouldn't be allowed to have such a choice and just be forced to do whatever a woman wants.

tumblr MRA pls go

The fact of the matter is anon's argument could be applied to both genders and be sound. Not that I expect you to critically think and go beyond semantics or anything...

if a guy was bitching about his do nothing girlfriend in this thread sure, i'd give the same advice. cost:benefit analysis and if it's negative dump her. that isn't the case at hand though. we've been talking about a gull with a boyfriend who is a drain.

i'll give you this: you are damned good at dodging points and misdirecting arguments. you have it down to an art form. i imagine you're really good at it in real life too and add some in-person bluster so people don't see what you're doing or become uncomposed to the point they can't effectively respond.

You're giving him too much credit anon. It's easy to argue in circles for hours on end if you're willing to ignore most points and bring up old arguments worded only slightly different. Especially if you have an agenda behind your bantz.

If you keep doing the same thing over and over, you'll only get the same result. To improve, you need to find what you did wrong and do something differently. It might go better, might go worse, but you learned something about how it works.

I wish you a lot of luck anon, the important thing is to not give up.

"Could" sure. But the subtle things people say and do without thinking are often reflections of what's truly going on in their subconscious. And I suspect many of your subconsciouses have similar such "I deserve a perfect man that does everything but a man should have to settle for whatever woman he can get and always do everything she says no matter how much he dislikes it" mentality.

Because it was the case at hand. We've been arguing about a girl and her boyfriend the whole time.

And if it matters, which it shouldn't, I'm a guy. The same guy who said kick his ass to the curb earlier.

Yes and I'm sure it motivates you to spend hugely disproportionate amounts of time money and effort on women while all they return is spreading their legs a few minutes a week.

Yeah, my dick compels me to expect them to pull their own weight. It kind of points in their direction and says "hey, want to do something after you come home from work?" Symbiotic instead of parasitic.
