I confessed to a moid that I liked him a few months ago and I regret it so much because I know now that I was depressed and feeling lonely.

Makes me realize that it truly is mainstream now. Also it is so weird to me to see all these young and older people coming in droves asking if we have any mangas or D&D guide books. I hope she enjoys it and what I said about it is accurate kek. I read that book more than 15 years ago, I just remember liking it not so much about the rest. Yesterday, some lady asked me about Kafka's The Metamorphosis and I tried to explain wtf the book was about and I could only stumble on my words and pretty much just said well some guy wakes up and notices he is transforming into some kind of insect and the book is about how he is dealing with it or something like that.

I always suggest Süskind's The Perfume cause we always have a ton of copies (like all the other book that everyone reads in high school or college) but they obviously almost all read it too. We rarely receive things I've read and truly enjoyed and I mainly read sci-fi and fantasy and none of these customers care about these genres. Everything we sell are donations and we do not curate the selection. I look like someone that knows jack shit about books. I work in a used bookstore and whenever clients ask me for a suggestion I never know what to answer. This neglect then of Rhime so little is to be taken for a defect, though it may seem so perhaps to vulgar Readers, that it rather is to be esteem'd an example set, the first in English, of ancient liberty recover'd to heroic Poem from the troublesom and modern bondage of Rimeing. Not without cause therefore some both Italian, and Spanish Poets of prime note have rejected Rhime both in longer and shorter Works, as have also long since our best English Tragedies, as a thing of itself, to all judicious ears, triveal, and of no true musical delight which consists onely in apt Numbers, fit quantity of Syllables, and the sense variously drawn out from one Verse into another, not in the jingling sound of like endings, a fault avoyded by the learned Ancients both in Poetry and all good Oratory. The Measure is English Heroic Verse without Rime, as that of Homer in Greek, and Virgil in Latin Rhime being no necessary Adjunct or true Ornament of Poem or good Verse, in longer Works especially, but the Invention of a barbarous Age, to set off wretched matter and lame Meeter grac't indeed since by the use of some famous modern Poets, carried away by Custom, but much to thir own vexation, hindrance, and constraint to express many things otherwise, and for the most part worse then else they would have exprest them. I hope you'll still form that lynch mob though. KEK I'm very glad it wasn't because of a scrote (directly at a con at least). I live perfectly fine just being vaguely in the background of friends photos now kek. It has nothing to do with her skills as a photographer and editor (I think she's quite good at it!) and everything to do with how I just don't like how I look in photos, full stop. I have a hard time explaining to my best friend (who does cosplay photography and always kindly insists on doing my photos) why I don't like the photos she takes of me. It's kind of weird to feel the urge to cosplay a character again, while simultaneously not wanting to participate in a lot of default activities that you do in cosplay ie photoshoots or taking casual selfies/hall photos or just being looked at/acknowledged. I still sew and enjoy it very much outside of cosplay, but cosplay itself is hard for me to return to.

No just a lot of deep seated body image issues that slowly were exacerbated over time (and coincided with other non-cosplay related factors).
