>"and I'd rather do those things with you, anon-chan. it would be boring on my own"
>realise bf somehow still thinks I'm going to lolita NYE party

Nothing major, but I feel like doing anything slightly embarrassing is much more amplified when you're already standing out and people are watching you.

> Be me, aged 16 or 17
> Daily lolita in high school
> At my locker, it's a bottom locker, so I'm crouched down grabbing books or whatever
> People a few feet away staring, whispering, and giggling
> Whatever, this is normal, it's high school and I'm dressed weird, I get it
> Just don't do anything fucking stupid
> I do something fucking stupid
> In my haste to stand up, I accidentally step on the back of my petticoat and the portion of the seam between the lace and the chiffon rips
> Loud ripping sound
> Okay cool time to get the fuck out of here before I make myself look any worse, bye

> Be me, same age, same school
> Walking up the very busy stairwell in thick heeled boots
> Accidentally step on the side of the heel, leg caves in
> Wobble around trying to regain my balance and not fall down the stairs, in front of everybody
> Nothing to see here, carry on

No haha. Shes a really sweet girl, she just cringes really easily and cant stand anything that makes her cringe. Shes not that big too.

>tfw no old trips to comment on old con culture

Man, this brings back all the Hetalia shit that was insane at cons before more cancerous fandoms like Homestuck got huge. Teen girls would bring flags to lay on the grass and pose with their yaoi paddles.

It was definitely a purer time. Smartphones changed a lot with how people acted in public. There was less of a reason to be reserved and untrusting because cons weren't mainstream and most everyone was a fan of the same things you were. It's not remembering it. I think I went to my first (local) con in 2005. I'm still mad I waited so long to start going, looking back.

>hair dresser appointment tomorrow first time in like 4-5 years
>have chop my hair since I'm loosing a ton of long hair and it's sad and irritating
>still scared and sad for my hair and not sure I won't cry afterwards
I finally have the dream length and perfect lolita hair but it has gotten so thin and keeps falling off from the roots. Wish me luck gulls.

Thank you all! I'll wait for it to arrive and see if it needs cleaning. It's technically NWT so maybe I don't even have to.
Aah, I feel so accomplished now.

Did you really just say that men who think adult women look cute in floofy alternative fashion are the same as men who sexually prey on pre-pubescent children?

Regardless, I've never wanted kids, bf feels to same. So we're all good.

>tfw you bought Dolly Cat, Princess Cat, Romantic Cat and CTP this year

Feels good to embrace the crazy cat lady aesthetic. You can do it, too anon! Just need patience!

I have this exact feel

i can confidently say that it's because gulls are jealous

we have pretty cushy lives from what i can tell

and any girl with a better life than theirs is an immediate threat

we win by living better

I feel so lost and scared gulls.
My mother is maybe going to die and if she does that also mean i will be left alone with my absuive father (he restrains himself around my mother but he can be so hurtful and downright hainous he isn't godawful but just a super toxic person).
My mother just now told me she knows how he is and that even though i have chronique fatigue/depression and asperger, if she dies, i must find a job,anything,find an apartment and run away from home.
I am in tears i feel so lost and scared and unsure about the future. I wish i didnt need to sleep so much i wish i wasn't so stressed for nothing and that i wasnt a goddamn useless autist.
I already couldnt get a normal high school diploma (got homeschooled and did formations in subjects that interedted me resulting in three little diplomas) because of getting hardcore bullied because i was a weirdo.
Even lolita, video games,...and everything cant bring me joy anymore.

hi anon, i agree with some of your opinions but it might be best to stop with the emoticons, caps, and excessive punctuation.

it makes it seem like you're either new or underage. don't take it as a point of contention, i'm helping you.

>what are your reasons for being lonelita?
I have a huge comm near me, but I'm just not interested. I'm also sick a lot so I think that I'd just hold back the other girls if I suddenly became fatigued/dizzy. I really hate leaving my house and being around too many people.
>how often do you wear lolita? do you wear it every day, or just for special occasions?
I wear if two to three times a week now, mostly when I leave my house. I think I'll have enough pieces to wear lolita every day by the end of next year or so. Ideally, I want to be a lifestyler.
>how do your normie friends and family members feel about it?
I don't really have any normie friends, but my friends think it's adorable and really suits me. My family is supportive and happy to have somebody to dress up and flaunt. My mother puts extra effort into understanding jfashion and it's really cute. Everybody treats me like a dress-up doll and some people would find that belittling but I'm just flattered.
>do you have any tips for other lone lolitas?
Take a cue from Momoko and immerse yourself in your hobbies.

>mfw i get invited to an online comm that isn't shit

has it happened? have i finally found my people? am i not a complete lonelita anymore?

it's a good day for this salty gull

>tfw lonelita
>tfw bf doesnt understand brand prices
>tfw you will never have the courage to join comms because hikikomori garbage

on the flip side:
>tfw best friend genuinely likes the fashion and buys dream set for you
>tfw you get to be a dress-up doll with no strings attached
feels good gulls

Calm down anon.
