I really want friends (or just a friend) who appreciate(s) jfashion. Someone with whom I could get dressed up and take photos, go out to events, talk about outfits and purchases, etc. My best friend is great, but she's not interested herself and lives 1000+ miles away.
Our comm is a decent size, but it's spread out across the state. I've only gone to a couple of meet ups, and although I had fun, I never really connected with anyone.
I struggle to make close friends in general; it sucks. In a shallow sense, I find many people agreeable, and I think people would say the same of me. But at a deeper level, I frankly find most people unattractive and have an incredibly hard time connecting with them.
Most people sap the energy right out of me.
Then, if by some stroke of luck, they don't, I have no idea how to transition the friendship from good acquaintance level to friend level as an adult.

Basically I suck at making friends and am doomed to be forever alone in my weeb wear.

i've met a few nice people from /cgl/ and lots of nice people irl but i'm way too picky when it comes to actual friendships. our communication inevitably ends within the span of a month because we can't get past shallow niceties and "how was your day" "good, yours" type conversations.

I want to start wearing more j-fashion around my boyfriend, or in public in general. Most of the time I wear "normie" cute things but I don't really know where to start? It's not that I think my boyfriend will make fun of me, I think I'll just make fun of myself and feel embarrassed wearing it, even though I have no problem wearing it in my room. I have clothes to wear, and the longer I don't wear the clothes I have, THE MORE I END UP BUYING LATER.

Does anyone have any advice on where to begin? I feel sort of at a loss because I know how to coordinate, just hopping over the leap of having more attention towards me than usual is what keeps me away from wearing what I like....

[Anonymous No.9603982]

Start by incorporating items into more normie outfits. For example, wearing accessories or wearing a lolita skirt with a plainer cutsew.

wait did I post these in my sleep

I get along pretty well with many girls in my comm and sometimes do feel like I click with a few of them, but it always ends as soon as the meetup is over. When I try to follow up online it rarely goes beyond "hey how are you" "good, thanks". Most people in my comm have plenty of friends already and don't seem to be interested in befriending me unless I have something they want or they're trying to get me to buy something from them. It's really discouraging.
Since I'm on the quiet, reserved side myself I tended to befriend (or be befriended by) people who are more outgoing and confident, and these people seem to be a little more willing to reach out to me in this case, too. However all the girls like this in my comm A) are much younger than me and B) have certain personality traits that I can only deal with in small doses. I'm usually exhausted after meetups because it takes a lot of energy for me to deal with all the yelling, running around, whining about parents, whining about school, hostility towards onlookers and screaming about weeaboo memes.
Maybe I should post in a friend finder thread, but most of my comm is very anti-cgl and I don't know if it's a good idea to out myself as posting here.

Would it help to be more open about my interests and personal life on social media? Idk I don't know how else to open myself up to other people when between-meet online communication always fizzles out so fast.

I really wish there was something more I could do about my ugly face. No amount of makeup or losing weight in the world could fix it, I'm either fat and ugly or skinny and ugly. I'm so sick of it. I ended up wearing Lolita to a festival last night and I felt so cute and I got so many compliments but when I started taking selfies with my boyfriend I was like '????' Those comments felt like pity comments at best now.
I wish a had a few extra thousands dollars to get plastic surgery to fix my nose and eyes. Maybe then I could look somewhat aesthetically pleasing in Lolita. Pic kinda related because I somewhat look like Lor but less of a man

Yeah, in my comm most people already are friends or have a friend or two in the comm, so naturally everyone seems to gravitate to their friends.
The only times I've made close new friends in the last five years or so were when we were all forced into a situation where we didn't know people and needed to make friends (first year of uni and then study abroad).
In general I've had multiple people tell me that I might be "intimidating," but I have no clue why other than that I'm not amazingly outgoing, loud, or overtly friendly. I am fairly confident, but I'm kind of reserved and quiet, especially in large groups.

Related sad feel, my uni was full of local students who already knew each other and a lot of other people who just kept contact with their high school friends over Skype/FB instead of making new ones. In my accommodation, a lot of people formed casual friendships but didn't get really close because they still had their close friends from high school...bit weird for me coming as one of the few people from another region and only having kept contact with one person from school. I made friends through the local comm and, again, they were already friends (the regulars/mods had known each other for five years) so that was just casual too.

Due to past circumstances, I've always had problems and fear with talking to guys. At a con this guy and I started talking when he recognized lolita and became friends. He's the first male friend I've ever had, and as well as a great friendship it's also been helping me get over my fear. He's in a different state so we can only talk online now, but he was also my only friend with similar j-fash and anime intersts. There were never any romantic feelings at all. He just got a girlfriend and she doesn't want him talking to me anymore. I'm really crushed.

I feel you so much anon. I also have a hard time Making real Friends because it rarely gets deep or something weird happens between us that makes us 'break up'. I get along with all the Girls in my comm, they are always Nice to me and never make me feel left out. But I Just don't feel that 'click' with anyone and never see or talk to them outside of meetups. My 'normal' Friends are great and respectful towards the fashion (sometimes I even show them silly things like wtf burando threads which they like!) but sometimes I Just miss having that one special Friend that 'gets' it. Someone to dress up, maybe even twin with and go shopping together for cute things.

I bet you looked great anon & every single one of those comments were genuine. Beauty is either fleeting, artifice, or a downright lie. Charisma, happiness, poise, confidence & intelligence are attractive. The novel & unusual is attractive. Lolita is a trip to most people, you prolly brighted up some peoples day! Plus, phone camera pics are not exactly going to be flattering, just think of them as a memory aid or a jumping off point, in six months time you might look back at those selfies & think "hey, thats the night we went out & did X" instead of using them to self berate. I think that self love is a load of bollox but if you could make peace with your looks you'd have a happier time. It doesn't matter a jot.

I'm an mua & my husband is a photographer, the amount of fecking around & prodding & lighting & arranging is insane to get a good beauty/high fashion picture. Just enjoy yourself & your life.

I am annoyed because my friend told me that I should get rid of my cute clothes if I want to get a guy.

First of all, I generally don't believe guys care what you wear if they are attracted to you in general. I also don't think most guys really perceive anything about women's fashion. She's never even had a boyfriend before, so how would she know? She says that only undesirable guys don't care.

However, I'm also annoyed that she doesn't understand that I'm not going to change how I look just because a guy would care.

[Anonymous No.9604826]

Why would a macaron shop be more common than bubble tea? Bubble tea is pretty common in Asian restaurants, even regular Chinese ones or for other types of Asian food. I've rarely seen macarons for sale.

Also bubble tea is from Taiwan, not Japan. Not sure what it has to do with lolita.

>gym

Yea, that's not going to do much.

A better way is to start calorie counting. First, find out what your tdee is. Then find an app like myfitnesspal and start logging your calories. Then, work out how to eat less calories so you're always a few hundred calories below your tdee. Don't bother cheating, your body will still concert all the food you "forgot"to log into mfp as fat anyway, so be honest with yourself. Keep this up and you should be able to see one or two pounds slowly fall off every week.

Once you've got that down, *then* go to the gym. Not to actually lose weight, but just to move your body and breathe oxygen and be generally healthier.

[Anonymous No.9605174]

>>9605154
>isn't in fashion
When was lolita in fashion? Even when it seems popular online in some circles, it's still a niche within alternative fashion. Many people who are into alt fashion don't even know what it is.
Regardless, I'd be sad if my favorite brand stopped releasing new pieces but I'd continue hunting down pieces secondhand, assuming prices don't skyrocket, and I'd continue wearing the fashion as long as it makes me happy. I don't need the community or new releases to wear the fashion I love.

[Anonymous No.9605176]

>>9605174
When I mean in fashion, I mean existing at all. I don't know if the brands or anything will be around in 10, 20, 30+ years.

Other alt-fashions are easier to DIY and never really go away (goth, punk, etc) but lolita is much less so.

The way BPN went out of business? It's still being circulated, you'll even find it on closetchild every now and again.

The good news is if it hit that point at least Traumerei and other overhyped dresses would actually be attainable instead of the $1k it currently goes for on the secondhand market now. Bad news is.... it will never happen, will it?

Now, imagine if aliens landed in the ocean and suddenly made it difficult for countries to ship stuff to each other, including Japan to the US. Imagine a whole year of no burando shopping, no closetchild, no fril, no mercari, no yja........ I might actually shrivel up and die.

Are you only concerned about shoes? You can find lolita-appropriate shoes in normie stores too, they won't be TPS level of cute but they can work, especially for daily wear. It's easier if you wear gothic or classic but it's possible for sweet too; either learn to lighten up with how you coordinate and incorporate black or brown shoes into your coords, hope that you can find shoes in the pastel color that you need, or buy whatever cute pair of shoes that you can find and paint them.

[Anonymous No.9605216]

>>9605200

The fashion will outlive you, I think. Although it might be difficult to find certain styles of shoes when they go out of trend.

I got into lolita when ITS was the big thing, and both homemade and loliables were actively encouraged for those who couldn't get their hands on burando. The DIY component in lolita is still pretty strong, Someone was still asking if Eternitas and Melt had patterns and instructions the same way GLB had in them. The current generation just happens to have a lot of brands, whether it's main brand, indie or single artist, all making very cool things at affordable prices, aimed at lolitas, so it's easier and more rewarding to buy something interesting and cute while contributing to encouraging other people to make cute things for lolitas, than to DIY everything yourself. And with the current push towards customization and maker spaces popping up in many cities, if anything, another 40 years into the future we might actually be able to print our own RHS in our own homes.

As to your current shoe problem, though. I'd suggest you start with white shoes and a comfortable base that you like. A few coats of Angelus leather paint takes care of the colour. For decoration, spare leather, glue, earring backings for non-pierced ears and some creative hours and you can add decoration to it to make it suit your taste.

The thing is he kept saying how we can be a power couple and even when i said about how much I liked him multiple times he never shut me down. I know he has self esteem issues so I dont know if he's been freaking out or if I'm thinking too much into it.

It's an especially good idea to leave him be if he freaked out because of his self esteem issues. Give him some space, he might need it. When and if he feels like contacting you again, have a serious talk with him about this to make sure he doesn't do it again in the future. Anyway, I wouldn't chase him if I were you, it wouldn't do any good to either of you.

The same thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago anon, just with slightly different circumstances. Things were going relatively well, we had cosplans together, there was pretty open interest from both sides, then when we hung out for the whole weekend together, they were suddenly distant and cold. A week later when it was con time, we said a few words to each other on Thursday and avoided eachother for the rest of the weekend. Point is that as much as it hurts, and it sucks I know, it's best to let things go since the issue isn't on your end. If he comes back eventually under different circumstances then wonderful, maybe you can try to make things work again. But for now, it's not worth stressing yourself out over wondering what may be the issue, even though I know that your feelings must be strong at the moment.

Oh AND I was thinking about it because of an article about street fashion in Japan (by Tokyo Fashion iirc)

They spoke about how it's not dead in Harajuku, just that 90s styles have faded out and lolita was in there. Then again, lolita kind of moved on from being a Harajuku street style more than a decade ago so it's probably not REALLY dying.

Although I kind of worry about it when China gets bored of it.

[Anonymous No.9605768]

>>9605756
I read that article and Tokyo Fashion specified Gothic Lolita IIRC, which isn't quite the same thing (Tokyo Fashion know their stuff enough not to conflate the two) - I think saying gothic lolita has faded out is a completely fair assessment, both within and outside Harajuku as it's way less popular than it was ten years ago and never really evolved like the rest of lolita did.

Weight gain is gradual in most people, Even gaining 5-10 lbs is not going to make certain clothes tighten.

[Anonymous No.9605872]

>>9605867
My clothes are noticeably tighter and fit weirdly at 10 pounds heavier than I am now, and I can pretty much tell from looking at my body and trying things on if I've gained 5 pounds or so.
Maybe if you're already 200+ gaining 10 pounds isn't noticeable, but if you're 100-150, that's a significant portion of your body weight and is probably going to have visible, tangible effects on your body. The only way I can imagine someone gaining ~20 pounds and not noticing is if the only thing they wore were very oversized clothing or shitty clothing in extremely stretchable fabrics to begin with.
Especially with lolita, wouldn't you recognize at some point that your dresses, socks, etc. aren't fitting the same?

I realised I'd gained a little because my face looked different but thought it was just a couple of pounds - it was only when I realised I no longer fit into about a third of my wardrobe that I borrowed a friends' scale to check my weight and realised I'd gained that much.

Sounds familiar. When my fiancé and I moved into our new apartment I got a small sewing room and he got a gaming room. His room was finished before anything else, even the bedroom, while my room was basically used as a storage area for his stuff. I had to point out several times that all the crates and boxes were full of his stuff, not mine, before he even acknowledged that fact. Before that he'd tell me "you first" whenever I asked him to tidy up a little. Then when it still took him over two months to even pretend to start tidying up I went into passive-aggressive mode and started moving some of his boxes over to his, otherwise largely empty, gaming room. Only then did he get the hint, and started clearing out some of his junk. Half of it is still there, but at least now I have enough room to put up a table and get back to some of my projects.

I really hate being passive-aggressive but this was after almost six months of me asking him point blank to clear out his stuff and him going "uhh, next weekend". Ugh. At least he's a good cook.

You're an idiot, you're trying to say someone is shallow for wanting a HEALTHY partner. Statistics say that this dude is likely to yoyo with his weight, which is incredibly unhealthy.

I don't find him attractive, and if you're trying to say that your standards of what is and isn't attractive apply to everyone and if they don't that person is shallow you are absolutely close minded and delusional.

Some people are going to have different standards. I personally don't care what someone's face looks like but if they are at an unhealthy weight I am not interested. And since this guy has a drastically increased chance to struggle with his health due to his own poor choices and his own poor choices alone(not like he has cancer or something his choices didn't lead to) I have the right to deem this person undesirable.

First time in one of these threads, but I just got back from a con and for all the talk of them being social events, I've never felt more isolated or disconnected from people.

I basically spent my weekend attending panels and screenings and hardly talked to anyone one on one, and this is while I'm making an effort to introduce myself to people.

It almost felt like I was the odd one out, and it's a shit feeling. It makes me seriously wonder whether I should continue to go to cons, because I hardly get a chance to socialize due to my job. I figured if I went to a con I'd get to make more friends into the same things I'm into, but I guess not.

[Anonymous No.9607176]

>>9607174
It's pretty hard. I've only been to cons as a vendor, and that was kind of okay but it was really surface-level socializing.

If you want to go to a con to socialize, you should plan a meetup in advance with a few people who are also like you and afraid of cons for the same reason. There's a lot out there. There's some creepers to avoid sure, but I think lots of people feel lonely these days.

I attended the con as press and I knew other people from Twitter that were going to be there as well also covering the con. I thought they would be up for socializing and talking shop, as it were, but after making multiple attempts to meet, they weren't all that interested. Talking to random congoers also didn't help, as everyone was in their own little groups and weren't really open to meeting new people.

I don't cosplay, either. I've made multiple attempts and it's just not for me, as much as I'd like to make the effort.

Fat cosplayers complaining about being fat cosplayers on social media drive me nuts. They complain about rude comments and say that if they get made fun of in a costume, they'll never wear it again. What's the point of being in a hobby if you're just going to throw a fit about how fucking fat you are? I get that it sucks that people are rude to/about you over your appearance, but having a childish meltdown over it and stopping yourself from having fun in the costumes you make doesn't seem like the right answer. Either lose weight, grow a thicker skin, or get out of this largely looks-based hobby, or at least stop crying about being a fucking fat ass on social media all the time.

Also, in general, I have mostly cosplayers and lolitas added on social media, and I feel like every day or so, someone's having a freak out about their mental health and plastering up on fb that they're suicidal and shit, and I do not understand how they think that's at all appropriate or don't feel incredibly embarrassed about putting all of their crazy meltdowns out for the world to see.

Probably referring to bisexual identify girls rather than completely lesbian. The negative connotation is generally derived as bisexuals not actually being completely on the lesbo team, using it as a means of easy attention and "belonging" to lgbtqia groups, and lacking the special man hating that some lesbos are famous for.

I mean in theory they are
However lesbians generally have a very specific experience as women who do not date men.

The word queer is very vague and can apply to literally anything that isn't a cisheterosexual relationship
With the word "queer" the door of possibility for relationships with men is wide open which makes a lot of lesbians (inc. translesbians) very uncomfortable.

In recent years the more social justicey liberal queer community has come to dominate and they have a tendency to not like lesbians very much

There are non-SJW bi women, and while I don't like the girls who claim to be queer or bi to be more interesting/fit in with the SJW crowd/be sexier for dudes, they aren't all that common - at least where I am. However I do wonder if there's some younger people who think that if you're straight you're an old-fashioned, closed-minded fuddy-duddy or something and the best way to show being open-minded is to try and join in with the LGBTQ+ community, because the amount of teens I see saying they're queer, pansexual, nonbinary, etc. has rocketed, and many of them don't seem to act on their claims, or are using those terms to mean things a bit more broadly than the terms were intended to mean. I blame the SJWs for stirring up the notion that all straights are evil and allies can't exist.

Honestly I can kind of understand them. I've had my fair share of "bi" girls come onto me because it's easy and fun to play around with other girls but then they'll eventually dump you because they need a man. It's also especially bad that a lot of lesbians just get the "oh you just haven't found the right guy yet" treatment, so I guess the combination of two makes some lesbians extremely wary of bi people. Of course that doesn't mean that there aren't actual bisexuals or that it's wrong to be with a man, but it's no secret that a lot of bi women are into other women simply for the fooling around aspect and serious relationships are with men only.

Same here, it's not that deep. I don't believe bisexuals don't exist or anything, but someone who even has the *option* of being straight-passing and could be happy with a dude already has a really different life experience to me. Plus I like relationships where we're open and honest with each other, but I'm really, really disgusted by dick and any discussions of heterosexual dickings, so dating someone bi is complicated because I don't want them to have to repress themselves but I'm grossed out by hearing them talk about attractions to men (kind of the same reason I wouldn't date someone with a fetish I was really grossed-out by). Some people argue against this by being like "but if you're in a relationship your gf shouldn't be looking at other people anyway!", but I don't think most people can just turn their attractions off like that and I don't feel threatened by discussing things we both find hot.

As a bi lady who has been rejected by qt lesbians and had a bi ex who left me for a guy, this thread gives me sad feels. At least my cat loves me...

It really bothers me as a bisexual woman. Even my lesbian friends have invalidated my feelings, which really deteriorated our friendships, and it makes it a lot harder to date girls. Basically the only woman I've felt okay being involved with and not belittled is my best friend, who is also bisexual.
I'd love to have a lolita girlfriend (I'm the wahhh no friends anon above ITT), but the amount of frankly rude things lesbians and other "queer" people have said to me or around me in life, and even in my comm, makes me very hesitant to even state my interests.

nayrt, but saying you don't appreciate when someone is an asshat to you strictly because of who you are attracted to you doesn't mean you're "entitled." it means that they are sick of people being dicks.

since this thread is shot, I'll throw in my two cents: I'm bi, I have lots of friends who are lesbians and I don't mind at all that they tend to only date lesbians; I get that I technically have a choice to repress my feelings for women and only date men if I wanted; I totally and completely understand that we have different experiences and that a relationship between a bi woman and a lesbian can be difficult, I do. however, when someone tells me I'm going to cheat on their ass or use them or do the same to other people just because I've loved a people of different genders than they can suck my entire ass.

Opinions like this are why lesbians hate bi women. You're literally just as bad as straights, like wtf, do you even think about what's coming out of your mouth? Hetero society says we're unnatural perverts for not liking straight sex, bi people say we're bigots.

No one mentioned purity or someone being unlovable, good god.

I'm >>9608488 and so many of the I'm Bisexual! people I meet are like this, if you meet the SLIGHTEST resistance to dating you it's time to cry about how bigoted/prejudiced people are and how biphobia is real and lesbians/homosexuals are just as bad as straight people when it comes to bisexuals.

No, a bisexual person and a gay person just have different dating pools, romantic experiences, and social cultures. A gay person might be looking for someone with similar experiences. Most gay people will not turn down a bisexual person JUST because they're bi, but it will usually boil down to "we have incongruous expectations of sex/attraction/dating and it makes it hard to relate to you on a romantic level." This isn't to say these relationships can't/won't work but it's an extra hurdle. Someone being inclined toward someone who shares their sexuality is not unusual or terrible.

Her comment came off similar to actual conversations I've had with gold stars that have legitimately said they wouldn't consider having sex with women because they didn't like the thought of having sex with someone who had dick in them (I very heavily prefer women, so most gay women may not know im bi unless they get to know me... consequently I've heard some serious bullshit). She later clarified, and I was happy to back down.

Your comment I was always fine with. I know plenty of lesbians with the same outlook and it's fine, I don't care. It's honestly the reason I usually wind up with other bi girls. it's nice to be with someone who gets you.

I know it's annoying when people play the oppression olympics, but sometimes bi people do legitimately get shit from all sides sometimes and it's frustrating.

NAYRT but yeah, not with those words and not in this thread, but we hear it often enough. I've heard lesbians saying they would never date someone who had sex with a man and liked it countless times. "Never been with a penis" is considered a badge of honor by most I've met, and the ones who did have sex with men act self depreciatively about it (half joking, half serious) as if it made them inferior.

I'm glad I'm bi and don't have to be part of the lesbian community. I dated two bi girls and they're so fucking chill in comparison

[Anonymous No.9608727]

>>9608687
Someone not wanting to date you isn't oppression or bigotry. The experiences of women attracted to both sexes are not the same as the experiences of exclusively same sex attracted women. Some bisexuals only date other bisexuals, even in heterosexual relationships, because of shared experiences. That doesn't offend me. 92% of bisexuals end up settling into heterosexual relationships anyways, so why do you care so much about lesbians dating you? Leave lesbians alone. We get enough shit from straight people, the gender theory kweer people telling us we have to take dick or else it's literally violence, and bisexuals telling us we aren't open minded.

Yes it does. If you really like someone, and the reveal to you that they are 25% asian or whatever and break up with them because of that, then you are racist.
