agree, but also I can confirm that therapy takes time, and meds and relaxation techniques only go so far. at some point you really do have to actually get out there and do shit whether you're "better" or not, because if you don't, you never get better. therapists will literally tell you that.

It's not so much having these disorders is the issue. It's that so many lolitas who have them (or claim to have them since apparently mental illness is a cool accessory and a facet of your personality now) shoehorn them into discussions at meets and make others uncomfortable. It's one thing to mention it in passing. It's another thing entirely to boast about your meds or loudly proclaim you're having a panic attack.

I deal with this stuff, too, gulls. I know how badly it sucks. But don't force your comm to be your stand-in therapists. Do your best to get yourself out there and politely excuse yourself if you need a minute or if you need to leave. If someone doesn't understand or is an ass about it, fuck 'em.

for what it's worth, i have kind of shitty anxiety as well and it always put me off meet-ups until a couple of years ago. at first it was real fuckin' awkward and felt like nobody wanted to talk to me, but after a few times remeeting the same people, I started remembering names and hitting it off with a couple of the other girls and it became a much more relaxed environment. I found out later that the first impression i made wasn't very good, because i tend to unconsciously pitch my voice higher and softer when I meet new people and everybody in the comm thought i was some kind of 'kawaii anime girl' wannabe lifestyler. so yeah! just keep in mind that there will probably be some rough patches at first, but persevere and think of it as gaining social experience.

this is accurate. we've had way too many girls in our comm who seem to think it's some kind of frilly mental health support group. while that attitude did create a certain amount of bonding amongst the initial members of the community when we were smaller, it's not feasible to show up to a tea party with 10+ total strangers and expect the same atmosphere. and it can also be ultimately a shooting-yourself-in-the-foot kind of move, if you're someone who is in need of therapy. one of the founding members of our community was a compulsive liar, for instance...I remember going over to her house for the first time and being fed all these lies like 'oh i'm an ex-ballerina' 'i used to model' 'i design wedding dresses' 'i'm a professional sfx makeup artist in hollywood' etc.
it made me really uncomfortable because I could tell that all of these things couldn't be true, but I was trying to be polite and didn't want to question her. eventually another member of the comm took me aside and told me the situation, but man...later, that same girl moved to a new city and a new community and I heard she basically got totally ostracized as a result. she was used to being coddled by her initial group of friends and not called out, but when she tried to pull the same stunt in a new city, everybody was really offended when they found out that she was lying and none of them want to associate with her now. even if it's nice to have a supportive group of friends, getting professional help would have been a better move in the long run.

I love my daddy and I'm also in love with him, which also makes me detest my mother more than I normally would. It's been this way since the onset of my puberty, while there are objective reasons why I'd desire my dad and want my mother dead I realize it's not normal but I can't help it. I don't go to therapy because my mother is part of the local medical community and as far as I'm concerned all doctors are pedantic dickheads fueled by scotch(or red wine if they're women) and eventually word would get back to her that I'm after her man. She'd kick me out and cut me off which I can deal with, but she'd also turn my dad against me which I could never deal with.

I know this isn't cgl related, but I just have to let this out. I can't stand being autistic anymore. It's really hard to talk to people, and I can never tell if I'm being annoying or not. Someone can be telling me I'm annoying and I won't notice, and other times I think someone is annoyed by me when they never were. I often just don't talk to anyone to avoid the chance that I'll annoy them. And I have memories of myself as a little kid that make me want to shoot myself every time I think about them because I was so retarded. I'm a lot better than I used to be, and I'm still getting better, but I'll never be normal, and that really depresses me. I always see normal people talking to each other and having lots of friends, and they look so happy. I'll never be like them.

I have friends who are autistic too, and they're the best friends I have. Maybe I'm comparing myself to others too much instead of enjoying what I have. I don't have to be friends with everyone. I should appreciate the friends I have more. I think I'm just depressed because I'm always surrounded by people who aren't autistic, and it makes me really feel how different I am.

Probably. I'm not autistic, and don't have many friends. Some people are social, some people have lots of friends, some people enjoy staying in Friday nights. I think it has more to do with what kind of person you are, rather than having a social disability or whatever autism is considered.

Hey buddy, I was in a similar boat as you a while back. Idk if the way I dealt with it is the healthiest way, but it worked for me. I realized that me and my autistic friends are, at the end of the day, way better people than almost every non-autist I know. We're more genuine, interesting, and in generally we're waaay smarter than neurotypicals. Also, the whole lack of empathy thing is BS, we just don't empathize with people in ways that are deemed socially acceptable.

Realize your superiority and then laugh at how basic all your non-autist friends with your fellow autists.

There's a chance they didn't get your application, but there's the chance that they simply got lots of applications (very likely) and that the overall standard of applications was high.

Also the con organisers don't choose - the designers do - and maybe they have something really specific in mind e.g. JetJ always seem to have tall Pre-Raphaelite looking models, and you didn't fit that mold for whatever reason. That doesn't mean you are ugly, or don't have good taste anon. I've been roped into fashion shows at the last minute because someone else dropped out, and although I wasn't as good a fit for the image the brand wanted, they had to compromise.

I have a really great group of friends, we go to local conventions, do day trips to large game shops/comic shops/nerd destinations.. But i'm the only one into cosplay/lolita. I really want to go to a large convention with them all and make all their costumes, but none of them are on board with the idea. I'm the youngest in the group, so maybe that's why I'm more starry-eyed about conventions, but it still kind of sucks, ya know. And then when I go to groups on campus that are into Jfash and all of that, I suddenly feel like the boring one. I'm not hyper like most of the members are like I feel like the normie, and I just feel kind of embarrassed. Has anyone found the holy grail of friends that are into CGL related hobbies but are still adults? If that makes sense.

here it is more like different threads have their own standards of politeness. feels threads go all over the place. threads based on doing something productive (draw thread, crafting threads, coord help thread, Secret Santa threads, etc.) tend to be pretty polite with a dash of salt. threads based on evaluating content from off-site (Amino, online comms, CoF) tend to be gossipy saltfests. "Bad X" threads are equal parts humor, pity, and salt.

some rules enforce a type of politeness due to /cgl/ needing to be disciplined by the mods to keep from becoming a festering hole of stalking and harassment, i.e. do not make threads targeting someone, certain people/topics tend to get deleted even if not explicitly disallowed (Behind the Bows), and we usually censor names in screenshots.

Thats true, and I'm certainly not going to go self-diagnosing or anything. It's just something I've been thinking about recently, and reading some of these feels made me wonder even more. I wouldn't say I'm an introvert, though, more like an extremely socially anxious extrovert. I like people and attention and have fun when I do go to meets and cons, but I'm a nervous wreck beforehand and end up crying afterwards every time because I convince myself everyone I interacted with would probably rather suffocate to death than ever be in the same room with me again.

Like... your anxiety is so bad that you are prematurely writing off that people dislike you before even meeting people.

My roommate and her friend were super curious about lolita stuff so they asked me to show them my two dresses I'd brought from when I'd moved out, which I was super scared of because I thought they'd make fun of me like literally everyone else I'd shown them to but instead they were weirdly supportive to the point of getting me to try them on again for the first time in almost a year. It was really nice and honestly unexpected from them (they're very normie college party girl type) but now I'm missing the fashion, and I can't really afford to go back to it right now. I would be fine with settling with digging up my fairy kei stuff again until I get more money, but I've got short hair now, so I'm scared I'll look very "tumblr" no matter how well coordinated the outfit is.

Don't beat yourself up about that. While it might feel like shit right now it's not like all hope is lost. It sounded like you had a great date, he just wasn't up to sleep over. That's a good sign if you ask me, because he seems cautious of not getting into anything much too fast.

I feel kind of bad though. I have some nerd friends who have joined me at previous conventions who I'm purposefully not telling about buying badges and booking hotels. I'm sure they'd be excited to go, but after two cons with them and having a group that was just too big to function I just don't want to deal with that hassle again.

I'm also a little nervous that my cosplay friend might ditch me to do photoshoots (she's much more into the scene than I am) but even if she does, I think I'll still have a great time.

The examiner claimed I failed to look right multiple times. I think the problem may have been that because my car is so short (less than 3m long)and fishbowl-tier I don't have to look over as deliberately to check my blind spot. I can see out the rear window quite easily.

Like I said, whatever. I have another test booked so it's not the end of the world. I'll be more deliberate about it next week.

I did briefly consider telling her I went all out, as she gave me shit me not two days ago about wearing casual sweet on a coffee date.

You mean adult things like getting my full license?
When I worked during my co-op she complained to me about spending any of my money on my hobbies. She's just mad I'm not doing what she would be doing if she were me. Lately she's been complaining about never having grandchildren. I don't worry much about what she thinks.
The only reason I'm late taking my final road exam is because I took extra classes over the summer. If I were a penniless NEET you'd be on to something, but I'm not.

Maybe things will change once I finish my degree.

Hey. Don't feel bad about your cosplay compared to someone else's cosplay. Are you happy with the work you've put in? Could you do better? Have you made the best cosplay that you can make with your skills, time, and resources? If you've worked as hard as you can on your cosplay, don't worry about it. Not everyone can create godtier cosplays. Focus on improving your skills and doing the best you can. Don't beat yourself up over mistakes, learn from them.

Now, on the other hand, if you've done a shitty job and you know you can do better, decide if you have the time and money to finish it before the con. If you can, start over. If you can't, finish what you've started and do better next time.

We cannot tell people who they can and cannot fuck. Anon has no jurisdiction over their boyfriend's roommate. That's silliness. Sexually transmitted diseases are not a silly matter however, and that really sucks. He won't know until he is tested. Unless he's got bumps growing, unexplained 'zits', weird discharge, or general fatigue, he's likely in the clear. It might just be a UTI or yeast which men can sometimes suffer from. Also, ask him if he has shaven recently. That could also explain an itchy crotch if he was just trying something new.

Actually HPV is bad because it is not curable. Men are mostly asymptomatic, but it can sometimes result in issues such as 'itching' or small fleshy bumps. HPV is bad because the man now deals with the fact they can potentially spread it to any other partner, and that partner risks developing cancer and infertility as a result. Herpes is a very common STD with one out of 5 people on average having the disease. (I'm talking about the genital kind.) It's certainly something to worry about. Unless you keep it a secret, both things can be deal breakers in finding a partner. I think that's why most people freak out concentrating on those two diseases. Yes, syphilis and gonorrhea are easily cured. HPV and genital herpes are not curable through modern medicine.

Proposal anon from a few threads back - I'm struggling with what to put the damn ring in/how to actually do this. The only person I could talk to about this is my partner's best friend and they'd probably kill me if I made them keep this secret. My partner loves LOZ, so those ring boxes would definitely be amazing, but it's not something that's as important to me. Would it be romantic to use that or not? If not, what we do both love that has had an impact on our relationship in some way would be Naruto. [My first delusional plan was surprise matching Yuri on Ice cosplays but then I realized he might think we're just acting out the characters]

Please save me from just throwing the ring it my partner's face mid-con.

>> No.9325364

>>9325336
I'll say the first step is making sure the ring is something that the person will actually wear their whole life. I think a themed ring box is a wonderful idea, but I'd suggest buying a ring that does not allude to any sort of show. The only reason is because this is a ring they need to feel comfortable wearing in their late 20's all the way through their 80's barring huge fluctuations of weight or edema.

You can just throw it in their face, but make sure you do it in an area that you guys won't be getting knocked into or too noisy. If you are for real serious, possibly speak to the convention staff about what you are planning to do? Engagements don't happen everyday and niche events and venues often will have ideas or suggestions to make the engagement perfect. For example, if the convention has stage events, you might can set it up to actually go up on stage to present the ring to your beloved in front of everyone near the end of the stage event. They won't be expecting it.

More important is just have something fun planned afterward, not that a convention isn't exciting enough. What's important is making sure the public realizes this is not a farce so when offering the ring, absolutely make a point of stating their real name, don't just say, 'Will you marry me?' Say, '*insert name*, will you marry me?' or something like that.

>> No.9325482

>>9325364
Oh my god yeah no I stuck away from themed rings bc a) they're pricy as shit b) they're all way too OTT and/or ugly. I kept getting ads for these Pokemon ones that have tiny 3D Pokemon around the gems like how impossible to clean is that. The ring is simple and understated, but with just enough of a flair that it's not another solitaire.
I hadn't even begun to think about what to do afterwards, so thank you for that. I just don't know what we could really do other than a nice meal, just us, and then maybe a room party? some of my roommates are friggin broke so I can't take everybody out for dinner bc it would ruin the atmosphere. I'm planning on Friday so we have time to do something.
The problem is that all of my engaged/married friends are older than us or normies, and none of them got engaged at a con bc they aren't as important to the couples. I only know one person who had a con engagement and it was really awkward and didn't look like a great memory to look back on in my opinion. I don't want this to be a big thing, but I want it to be beautiful enough that looking back on it is sweet for everyone and not like I got in someone's way or stole the opportune photo spot from an entire group just to propose.

People can take drugs and not get addicted just by not being dumbasses. I did it, loads of other people did it, and the only reason drug addicts aren't doing it is because they lack reason, intelligence and self control. Mainly that last one.

Also, is the convention at a hotel? Venues can be accommodating, but if it happens to be held next/at a hotel, the hotel staff can be far more accommodating since engagements and wedding related functions such as parties and honeymoons are nothing unusual. The hotel would also have far more private options then anything a convention could offer. If they are together, that would be a great opportunity to take him aside to a predetermined private location when the con is slow. Maybe a meal already delivered or something. You'll have to pay extra usually, but hotels can set things up. Have them set up a meal, a TV playing Naruto episodes if that's relevant, and privately propose, eat meal while watching Naruto and laugh, go back to con. You might could even decorate the room or patio, wherever it happens, ahead of time.

A friend of mine told me she wanted to wear lolita after seeing my first coordinate. I didn't want her to at first since she's one of those "Body positive/ tumblr/ fakeboi" types, but I decided to guide her into the right direction and send her links to blogs like fyeahlolita and stores like bodyline and taobao to get her started. She didn't listen to me. She bought milanoo maid dress trash. 2 or 3 dresses, normie blouses, and some beat up Mary Jane type shoes. The dresses didn't even fit. Nothing fit. On top of that, she started talking in a loli-voice; nails on a chalkboard it sounded like. I was upset because I wanted to see her blossom into a beautiful lolita, and she just totally disregarded everything that was readily available to her. When I asked her why she bought what she bought instead of stuff from taobao or bodyline since they were having a massive sale, she tells me "She couldn't afford it and none of the clothing were her size." There are taobao stores that do custom sizing. Sure, it's expensive, but the fashion isn't cheap and it costs more when you're a plus sized girl. I told her that I don't want to be seen with her if she's going to portray herself so sloppily. And she said that "she's doing lolita her own way and she doesn't have to waste money on brand" I just said fine. I told her that I didn't want to be seen in public with someone who portrays themselves that way and until she learns how to dress, I want nothing to do with her. I feel really bad because well.. she was my friend and I've been crying because I feel really stupid for even thinking that I could make her into this beautiful lolita and I want to apologize to her because of how mean I was. I feel extremely bad...

These are all things you can learn and get better at. Just sit down and read; reliable sources of information are posted and reposted all the time, all you have to do is dedicate time to it.
As for shipping costs, I don't live in Australia so I wouldn't know but you should check if buying directly from Japan is easier for you than importing from the western market. I can tell you that shipping aside, it's definitely cheaper.

Maybe just explain to her that you are really sorry about what you said. Do tell her that you really don't want her to start getting involved in the community only to end up getting bashed based off her appearance. You may have been mean, but strangers can be meaner.

Just tell her that getting into lolita might take more time then someone who readily fits into the common sizes since she is bigger. Tell her to take it slow, and it might mean not having a whole closet full of coordinates. She's going to have to work slowly to acquire her outfits. She's going to have to start with getting a fitting dress, then move on to the blouses, the socks, the petticoats, and finally all the little accessories. Tell her it is better to have one solid good outfit then 3-4 outfits that will not work at all. For each outfit she completes, she's one step closer to buying another.

It's likely not that she didn't 'listen' to you, but may not have had good examples. Maybe pull up the plus size lolita thread(s) in the archive or on an outside archive so she can see what can be achieved splurging on clothes that actually fit her. She will not be judged for taking her time to amass her outfits.

I mean, a guy can appreciate the way you're dressed and like the things you wear but if he was into a hyperfeminine fashion like lolita before you met and/or got together with you because you wore lolita I feel that's a big red flag. I feel like the best thing would be a guy who's into alt fashion himself so he understands your struggle and probably doesn't care that you look "weird" but not a guy who's specifically into lolita. I know I could never date a normie, but I guess definitions of normie differ and just because they aren't into japanese shit it doesn't necessarily make them a normie.

Honestly, same. The only people that have RSVP'd to our next meet are literally social rejects. Three girls with autism, four fatties and three of them have attention seeking issues/defend replicas, a brolita who in 99% sure is in it for his fetish, and some supposedly trans ouji fakeboi fujoshit who just shows up in Ciel cosplay.

Granted there are some people in my comm who are "normal", but they never seem to go all out on coords and they always seem under-dressed. Polished, but under-dressed.

I've met too many people like that and I've just stopped caring. I'm not the perfect being they think I am, nor am I a qualified therapist. I'm already dealing with my own baggage, I don't need to carry anyone else's.

>deal with a really mean, jealous cosplayer last year
>this girl is a bitch in the truest form, never met someone so blatantly mean for no reason before
>tfw someone(s?) here as a vendetta against her and everyone defends her
>she also got quite popular on social media and has a really likeable persona
>tfw i wish i could just call her out and reveal her true nature
I know it's so petty but I hate seeing someone so awful being perceived as this adorable angel.
Vendetta chan, i don't necessarily support what you are doing but I'm sure she was a bitch to you too.

Murder me now, fucking hell. Why is there like only one decent mens tails coat pattern out on the market? and the collar looks weird as fuck on it. Eugh.

Less than a week till con and the contest... I know I can do this but fuck I need either booze or a sudden kick in the pants right now.

I have a planner myself and use it because I forget things if they're written on a screen, this way it just feels more tangible. I just don't get why you need one if you don't use it for anything in particular.

But if it's a journal then surely they'd fill it in every day? These are mostly empty, save for one lonely event per month that isn't even anything important.
