well, it's kind of a long story
but basically he was abusive towards me, the relationship just really messed me up
he's also the only friend/person I really talked to I had for the past 6 years or so though, so I was too scared of completely cutting contact, even though I know it's stupid as fuck
I'm just depressed as fuck now and he wants to do anything to make me a bit happier again now I guess

@ all the comments encouraging her to be a single independent lady.

I'm a guy who bought his now ex gf a bunch of lolita stuff (baby the stars shine bright), dress, shoes, stockings, and accessories to boot. I was planning on giving it to her at our 3 year anniversary(later that month I bought the dress and things in secret a month prior) and after buying a plane ticket to see her (we currently live apart) she broke up with me.

I've been hanging onto this fucking dress for 6 months and i've tucked it away but even though i'm not like INTO lolita i was into her interests and miss her dearly.
We aren't talking now.

Honestly half of me just wishes we could talk and clear the air, but i guess she needs more time.

Sorry for the long feels post.

Anyways if I saw her hurting and down I would definitely do anything in my power to help her feel better.
Not all guys are out to just slide back into your DM's. It's not some beta mentality. She was my best friend and i'm 100% certain that he was your best friend as much as you were his.

Love isn't a game so I get kind of ticked off when 3rd parties who aren't involved can dilute others opinions about their own relationship.

While I'm not sure the extent of the abuse she's mentioning, it's possible he was just being immature and needed some growing up to do. Maybe she does too.

Good luck to both of you. I am friends with 2 of my exes (out of like 12 different exes) and we get a long swimmingly.

Listen, it sounds like you're a good guy and did no harm in your situation, but whether or not he was just being immature.. He was still abusive, and she was still abused. Which means making amends isn't really a healthy thing to do for her mentally/and or physically.

True, we are third parties, but telling her to give her abuser a chance when she is already seeking anyONE to be friends with and has low self-esteem (most likely due to him), does not sound good at all.

Healthy relationships don't involve cutting off all contact with other people. Anon clearly has low self esteem and getting back together with an ex who abused her is not good for her.

i totally agree, I should've said in my post clearly not to go back into a terrible abusive situation. She made it sound like she thought well of him though and i took that into consideration. You're right though, abuse is abuse.

>>9709999
I agree with healthy mindsets not including cutting all contact off with another person.
With all the brand (i think i spent 300$ total on everything it's cute red dress red shoes, white stockings, dress has strawberries on it) i honestly am just holding onto it. I feel like selling it or giving it away would be like giving away my last bit of hope for me and ex to eventually clear the air and maybe find another spark. Don't get me wrong i'm not just sitting on my hands waiting. But it's still a strange feeling to get rid of our stuff.
Thought i was going to marry this girl.

Sigh.

For anyone reading this emo thread please take my word for it and always pursue progress in your personal life and be real with each other. If I could go back i'd be a better version of me. This shit reminds me that even 6 months later i'm still struggling with the ghosting.

You should sell the dress. She won't want it because it's from you and refers to your past relationship together. If she really wants that dress she will get it for herself. I think when you are ready to really let her go, you should sell the dress. You're holding onto because it's "her".

This might sound crazy, but why not give a part of it to the abused gull with no brand left? Yes it sucks that you'd be putting the relationship with your ex to bed, but it'd be good for you, and you'd be helping out someone else who is down on their luck. I honestly do think you need to let the things go, regardless of whether you sell it on or give it away.

I could say all sorts of things to make you feel better, like maybe she thought she was doing you a favour or something by breaking it off before you met. But there's no way of knowing and all you can do is to put yourself first and help yourself to grow and be a better person for the next person who comes along and deserves everything you have to give.

I know that's probably a part of it, but then at the same time I just really don't feel like I have a lot to offer, partially because I'm just so depressed all the time now. It feels like a shitty cycle, being lonely makes me feel even more depressed but then I'm too depressed to actually feel like I could provide a good friendship for anyone...

>>9709884
Thank you anon, I really appreciate it ;_;
It always feels like he changed now, but that's probably me just being stupid and naive... I'm also always afraid that he would become abusive towards me again, it just seems to scary to potentially not have anyone in my life - but I guess being alone would be better than being abused.

>>9710414
Thank you too anon, it is painful to hear but you're probably right... Ever since I broke up with him he has treated me better than all the years we've been together, so I wanted to think that maybe he changed now/realized his mistakes, but maybe it's just a tactic to lure me in again or something...
It just hurts really hurts to accept that someone you've worshipped and loved for years doesn't really care for you as much, I guess.

Thank you for everyone who gave feedback on this situation, it feels really good to actually share it with someone. I'll try to be strong and keep moving on. ;_;

gosh can you tell

I guess I want to be that carefree 12-year-old weeb with the promising future again, instead of a depressed late twenties NEET who's going nowhere in life. The anime also prominently features friendship and I like to fantasize about having that many close friends because IRL I only have my bf, who ignores me half the time. Only in fantasy weebland can I be successful and popular. God, I'm pathetic.
At least I realize it this time and am not going full otakukin/chuuni. Last time I ended up cutting and coloring my hair like one of the characters. I brought pictures of cosplayers wearing realistic character wigs to the hairdresser. She disregarded half of my instructions and the end result looked like shit. It took me years to grow my hair back out.

Would it be possible to channel this shit into something more realistic and productive? Obviously I can't be a superpowered ninja (cringe) in real life, but maybe I can find a realistic slice-of-life anime about normal young adults and let that motivate me. Come up with a self-insert that's good at sewing and runs an online store or something. Something attainable.
That probably wouldn't work, though. It's missing the nostalgia and escapism factors and those are the biggest draw. Ugh.

Making friends as an adult is much harder than when you're in school, which is where lots of anime tends to take place. It's not as easy to make friends, especially large groups of friends, because you aren't surrounded by people every day for years on end anymore.

My therapist is working with me to help me get out and meet people, and one of the tools he recommended was an app called Meetup. You might be able to find a geek/anime meetup group that'll have people with similar interests, or you can always look for more "normal" groups like hiking, cooking, painting, or foodie clubs.

It doesn't, people struggle and its good you're realising that you need to do what's best for you. If people turn their backs on you for it, guess what? they aren't worth it.

Well, he did paint an entire gender-race group as a stereotype likely because of one bad incidence.

I don't particularly appreciate the projection because I grew up in wonderbread white town wondering how I was going to meet other Asians. Thankfully, there aren't too many of those types of Asian guys around, and thankfully, I don't paint people with a broad stroke so I'm dating an Asian who is very happy to not see me as 'settling' material. Sorry about your luck mate, hope it turns around for you and you find peace with yourself because that sort of weird generalization and anger gets you down.

Heck, some of them had terrible experiences with coincidentally Asian men in high school including being horrifically bullied by them. But that's the problem with generalization.

Yes, I know he likely had bad experiences, and I feel for them because statistically, yes Asian men get the short end of the stick. But to resent an entire group is ridiculous. I don't think it's ridiculous to respond to an overt generalization with hey, don't generalize people, that's the first step to a lot of hatred, but here we are.

A girl in my comm got a reduction and now a bunch of others are complaining that they want one too because it would make wearing lolita so much easier. The reason they can't, though? They're obese, and would need to lose a lot of weight before they're even eligible. Losing weight would make it easier to fit into lolita as well so win/win, right? Nope.

My ex was asian, a foot taller than me, and in med school. Also athletic and both into basketball and martial arts.

The real dealbreaker was that he was from a fairly misogynist country and I don't think I could live there. He also kept doing/saying creepy and dickish things to me he thought were romantic because anime told him so.

The moral of the story is that physical attributes really should be secondary.

I think you misunderstood me. There's a difference between being a traditional housewife and being an anime waifu.

I was a virgin at the time and he kept telling me how he wanted me to bleed and hurt the first time around. He also made it very apparent he didn't like my boob size and kept saying things like "if I had an injection to increase your boob size I would do it to you." So like that level of creepiness.

>if you wanna be white then you're shit out of luck.

That sounds good to me, between 124 and 135. I've seen body types an inch taller/shorter and the weight is a joke for girls. Think about 110 lbs / college girl who looks like she just hit awkward puberty. Then a 130 lbs / boob monster with legs of steel, gets mistaken as that fragile young kid. And people take the 120 lbs thin girl as the eldest (she's not)... Ends up with the biggest butt and zero curves elsewhere

Not them, but that sounds like a great idea! In my opinion, if the situation felt abusive and the only "fix" was buying a dress, it's still bad. And clinging to a dress without delivering it doesn't sound too well. Maybe a middle point could be paying anon #1's shipping fees, so anon #2 receives an item at a price she can afford.

While people here can be mean to each other, indulge in drama, and call each other names (whales need to be shamed, but it makes a bad insult, when everyone throws it at each other), I really liked /cgl/.

Whenever someone needs help, or asks for advice, people give helpful answers and aid the new people.
Something I was worried about, is that I would be shamed for liking both cosplay and lolita, because of wanting to mix things from one into the other. Quite opposite happened, I got honest advice, and everyone was nice when replying.
Whenever sharing tough feelings and worries, everyone is supportive and tries to help.

I went to my Comm's ILD meetup on Saturday. It was a potluck so everyone brought their own food to share with the group. We have a p reserved, but gorgeous brolita in our Comm. I'm friends with him and I've handed advice on how to coord in lolita. He's done better over time. Anywho, he brought cookies with macadamia nuts in them. My late-mother made cookies w/macadamia nuts for me when I was a child so I wanted to try them. I tasted them and began tripping balls at the event. They were f-ing delicious. They tasted like my Mom's tasted from the oven. They were that good.

I messaged him when I returned home and I've been talking to him since about cooking, anime, and lolita. I want to ask him out for a private 1-on-1 lolita meet to eat pizza. How do I go about asking him?

Before feminism you could have just been a housewife.

You wouldn't have to worry about anything and your husband would be able to buy whatever you want, in reason.

Instead now you have to pretend to be a man, and compete in free market capitalism.

Dude take your meds. Meds are not the panacea but they're safer than they have been before and will help you function better. I'd advise psych/doctor shopping just because from experience some psychs care a lot and some... don't. But the right people and the right meds really help.

>implying I'm capable of basic self-care, let alone taking care of a house and children
>implying most households had no worries and the surplus money to buy whatever they wanted
>implying most working class women weren't forced to compete in free-market capitalism anyway doing at-home labour for a pittance to supplement the family income without labour laws or a minimum wage
>implying an autismo would have the tact, sensitivity and the ability to read the emotions and pre-empt the demands of a taciturn husband required to not end up as one of the "surplus women" unmarried until the day she died
I'll take my chances, robot.

Well judging from feels thread 90% of people here have mental health issues anyway, so would those discords really be that different?
