How has your life changed now that you've become more fashionable or are on your way there?

more depressed than before dont ask why

I was diagnosed with depression and became detached and unconcerned about my life, friends and family, and feel like I can't relate to anyone.

My friends just feel like people I spend time with to distract myself from my mental health and suicidal thoughts. None of my friends listens to the same music, has the similar interests or at least dresses in a similar way or even is remotely fashionable. And it's not like I can meet people who are closer to me, because 1. it's hard as fuck finding motivation being depressed 2. living in buttfuck nowhere czech republic, the friends i'm looking for don't exist outside gentrifying neighborhoods in Prague.This might have sounded condescending towards my current friends, but that wasn't the intention. I respect them and some of them are very intelligent and interesting people, but they're very different from me.

What depresses me even more is seeing so many people that look like I would get along with them when travelling. I try to go for a 90s slacker/skater inspired aesthetic, which is pretty common on Veeky Forums and in bigger cities in the US/Europe, I listen to Xiu Xiu, Grimes, Mac DeMarco, Sufjan Stevens and similar stuff, which is honestly not very obscure at all, just entry level independent music. But I still struggle to find anyone remotely similar in this shithole and my friends think my tastes in music, fashion, movies etc. are extremely obscure.

For some reason though I would never trade any of this back. It feels shit, but it feels real.

>expecting your life to change because you put on different clothes

JUST

Worse lmao

I'm much, much more critical of myself. I have body dysmorphia to an extent that the longer I look in a mirror I literally start to hallucinate my face morphing in the ways I hate most. Every good comment is someone being sarcastic, every bad one is the truth that will stay with me forever.

I've got fucking mental problems, OP. FASHION DID THIS

100 percent this

Holy fuck people here sounds like Elliot Rodgers. Don't go shooting up people guys kek.

Ever since I purchased the 1992 geo tracker, the official car of Veeky Forums, i've noticed I have a real problem with girls jumping into my car at every red light. It's not so bad in the country but if I drive a few city blocks in downtown Toronto, with the easily removable hardtop off, I have to shoo off 7-8 girls rubbing their soft parts against my variable hi-lo 4x4 gearshift and my 4-speed manual gearbox. I swear my whole car smells like fish and cheap perfume.

Its worse
Much much worse.
I can't stop thinking about fashion and not looking good at all fucking times.

I have shit myself 4 times in the past month because my trousers were pressed perfectly and I didn't want to cause crumbling by pulling them down.

I am constantly anxious about my clothes.

My heart rate has gone up by 10 bpm due to stress

Last week one of my new belts got caught on a door when I was casually leaning against it to appear fashionable in a new shirt I was wearing. I got so angry that I smashed the door handle. My University is making me pay the damages. Initially I tried to response by filming myself dressed as a door handle hanging myself with the belt but gave up because I couldn't tie a knot

help

lol funny post user thank you

10/10

>Initially I tried to response by filming myself dressed as a door handle hanging myself with the belt but gave up because I couldn't tie a knot
>sides
>in orbit

I don't feel good about myself anymore and it's eating into my social life.
Completely disinterested in sex along with everything else. All I want to do is get drunk, smoke weed and watch documentaries about fish.

Atleast I have my meme music.

I would date u in a heartbeat

Fashion actually got me away from the shittier hobbies I had like games. Spending so much time on myself got me more confident which got me away from less-social stuff.

At the same time I'm also becoming more critical of others though, When I first started getting into fashion at the beginning of college, I was near broke but even tiny changes in where I got my clothes from and fit seemed to make huge differences for me. Because of that I tend to look negatively on people who don't care enough to make even those minute changes in themselves even though I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

I've been starting to get really interested in the actual design lately though, but don't really have the time as an engineering student. I'm hoping to pick up a good sewing machine over the summer though so I can start making alterations and maybe trying to make some stuff for me since I still can't afford some of the more avant-garde stuff I think could compliment the designer things I do own.

Fashion has become psychologically handy for me since I'm basically /r9k/ on the flesh and doing "rare" cops is my autistic hobby, I live in a cool ass city in the third world so there's a pretty solid niche for "sophisticated" people. I love the fact that being really not much different from other consumption-based interests, fashion is socially acceptable and celebrated, so it puts me in a really comfy spot in terms of status. Girls I would be too beta to even look at like my fits. I know that I'm ugly as sin and socially retarded but feeling "part" of something as elitist and complex as fashion makes me want to think that maybe there's still hope for me. I also developed a deep love for girls with bangs el ou el

I live in a shit hole in the middle of Europe where af1s and alike are considered the peak of fashion, unless you're not bearmode you're not a "real man". I have absolutely no one to discuss my only hobby with and your fits rarely ever get appreciated unless you're wearing the latest faggot trend.

I'm glad I found Veeky Forums regardless, I'm really happy with the way I look and that's the only thing that's important.

This, but get rid of weed and replace by dexies and techno

>share the sentiment to the maximum

unless you're bearmode*

bump

>watch documentaries about fish.
lol let's be friends

>less money
>anxious about everything
>very self conscious
>judge people more

I have a lot less money than I did before.

honestly hasn't. some people think I'm gay now though. like people I've never met.

>Talking to a guy once about a girl we both know
>Bring up how hot she is
>He asks me "wait you think so?"
>Looks me up and down
>"Wow you dress nice"

It's a bit weird every time it happens

I feel like buying a shotgun and unloading it into the crowd every time I go outside.

I mean I sort of had fantasies about that for a long time, but it wasn't eating at me like it does now.

Damn man. Is it really that hard? I'm from Bulgaria and I have a few friends interested in fashion and I don't even mean the basic hm/Street West/trend hopper kida way. We don't necessarily have the money to buy designer buy we discuss and have a sense of style. Many of my friends listen to a lot of /mu/ core music as do I and we like to talk about stiff different from the latest radio hit. But maybe thays because we all study music at an academic level

>we all study music at an academic level
Yup, that's exactly it. If I were a university student in a major Czech city (basically just Prague and Brno), I would probably feel much closer to the people there and find common tastes in fashion, music, etc.

I'm a high school student in a small city with little to none interesting stuff going on, no cool places to hang out, and no people I could feel connected to. I hope it's gonna get a lot better once I graduate and move out for college/take a gap year and meet new people, which is honestly the only reason why I haven't killed myself yet.

>which is honestly the only reason why I haven't killed myself yet

Go find a hobby user, fuck. Play music, learn skateboarding, work out, paint, shit there is so many individualistic things you can do and enjoy by yourself. If you get good enough/average at these things you'll find like minded people online or in real life. Honestly, don't be a boring fuck and find something you're good at, else you'll just feel like a suicidal cuck, doesn't matter if you're in Prague or shitting in some unknown forest or something.

I'm aware of all this, but I'm at a state where I just don't have enough drive to take up anything. Makes me feel like absolute shit but I don't think there's much I can do. CBT isn't doing anything, so I'll probably end up on SSRIs, I really fucking hope they help.

well at first Veeky Forums made me get an eating disorder and a bunch of other mental illnesses (but honestly that might have happened anyway)
but i also felt like such a useless piece of shit that it made me pick up a hobby (piano) since i felt like i had no purpose in life.

honestly im happy the way my life turned out, but learning to play piano started so much other shit. I dropped out of highschool and now im dreaming of becoming a composer, which i never would have imagined a year ago.

but im also still suffering from what i think is depression and severe avant-teen syndrome.
even though all my friends are interested in music, i just wish i could be part of an artistic movement like impressionism. Just a bunch of artists discussing their works and philosophy.

i just feel like most of the stuff my friends like/make is so unoriginal or boring.
one thing common interest i share with them is techno though :)

post fit?

girl will walk up to me at school and at parties and ask me if I'm gay and when I say I'm not they seems disappointed. what does this mean?

My life hasn't really changed. Still as anti social as ever, I just look less autistic when I go outside and people treat me with more respect.

girls look at me now with smile. still too autist to actually tak to them

>I have shit myself 4 times in the past month because my trousers were pressed perfectly and I didn't want to cause crumbling by pulling them down.
kek'd

Anyway, I've been on Veeky Forums for almost a year now and I feel mixed about how my life has changed.

For one, I definitely shop more for my figure and that's helped a lot in terms of confidence and overall quality of fits.

Knowing about fits and brands has allowed for more conversation pieces. Also, even though I'm not as into it as some people here, within my group of friends I'm considered the "fashionable" one, and they often ask me for advice, which again goes with the confidence. (Luckily they aren't fashionless, but I really don't judge people based on their fits unless they make a point of it)

The worst thing to come out of it is getting something, and then my anxiety makes me think that I can't pull it off, and it legitimately torments me until I either find a replacement or find a certain situation where I do end up wearing it and then I realize I love it.

Yeah I feel exactly the same it's a good feel

tl;dr
Started getting laid on the regular with alt/hipster chicks

>stopped being embarassed about my drawing and painting because turns out normalfags think its cool

Is it?

>tfw becoming effay reduced my interest in gaming, comics, "geek culture", etc. and made me critical of others but my social skills haven't improved
I know how to dress but that hasn't affected my ability to talk to people so i'm still a no friends kissless virgin i just have good taste

Are you me?

why?

Get the fuck out, normie

Huh, I don't remember posting this

you made my day

I feel you

>music
music tast has changed a lot, used to listen only rap, now; post punk, synth wave, neofolk, new techno, 80's pop, indie rock etc. still listening rap but narrower range of it.

>clothing and style
i wear less logos, when i started lurkin Veeky Forums i was changing my style from street wear to more high end stuff, i had to get clothes with logos so people would know that how expensive clothes i wear, now i wear designer clothes but i don't try to "flex" with it and mostly dress up just for my self, also i have stopped reading highsnobiety and hypebeast (kek) i also try to avoid memes tho i do wear gosha and rafidassometimes but thats about it.

also fucking hate my friends outfits dressed up to h&m/zara joggers and ripped skinny jeans and wearing some fucking dad caps, i never say it to them but it has some way made me slightly apart from them
(sorry bad english I'm euro fag)

not much tbqh

girls show more interest, say i'm stylish etc.

getting in shape helped more though.

All I wear is plain tees, black jeans, CPs

a few nice knits/hoodies, a bomber and overcoat for when it's cold.

AKOG/Ervell/Acne usually what i'm dressed in.

this is so fuckin gay

I get mad bc I cant afford shit online
but I try to get some nice things once in a while
I barely have the time to go look to second hands and military surlplus shops alone
My friends are not effay and they dont care, better than being hypebeast fags
I've become more critical of other peoples clothing(in my mind) and have to tell this hypebeast that I dont like supreme and bape everyday
Music got me into effay thanks ecco

First one and 3rd one.
My confidence is like a bouncing ball though. I go from loving myself to hating myself all the time.

>Nobody I know cares about fashion and look disgusting and basically likes hobbies I don't give a flying fuck about

Maybe if you weren't so judgemental, you'd have more friends.
You can't rip on people who aren't trying to be fashionable. Most of my friends aren't into fashion but I have some other common ground with them.

You will never have a close friend if you keep thinking you're superior to everyone, user.

I'm a 27 year old man and I feel like a fucking teenager in my clothes but I'm too autistic to find a style for myself. I want to grow into a more serious and mature style but I'm bad at picking stuff and the things I see online are often too out-there for me to feel comfortable, also they don't fit my build.

It hurts.

I'm interested in fashion but I'm not. :/

I want to be, but I have the feeling that if you don't have money it's hard.
Maybe it's just that I don't know myself enough.

Guys I knew since school days started to hit on me, when they were ignoring me back in school five years ago. Also people seem to take me more seriously, but I'm not sure if this began while my style changed or due to my increased confidence.

thrift

Try outlets. I get high quality stuff for 30 Dollars at max regulary. But I also may have just lucked out because i fit into that stuff, that the majority can't wear.

I judge people's clothes everywhere, but i still dress like shit, mostly because i've never found clothes id really like to buy, still wear my basic slackercore

ITT: us JUSTs

this, thrift my friend

I was a reclusive NEET for 7 years, barely went outside and all that.
Just figuring out how to look semi decent and what clothes to wear has helped me a lot, now I can leave my house without worrying so much about how I look.

i feel cooler, got suicidal depressed and lost all my friends

how ? why ?

what's the context of this photo?

>1 dad cap has been deposited into your closet

>tfw haven't gotten more fashionable at all
>just buy fits at Target that look like Veeky Forums fits

IRA fighters. Don't know much else, tbqh.

>Nope, it's not loaded

Listen to what says.
One of my closest friend is not into fashion at all and that's totally okay.
Instead, we talk about anime, manga, tech, computers, etc.

There's an appeal in other hobbies too.
Don't let your life revolve around fashion as there's only so much you can get out of purely consuming fashion.
If you want to get friends with other hobbies then you gotta respect their hobbies and genuinely be interested.
Be more open-minded as there's ton of interesting things besides fashion.

they want you to be their gay best friend and treat you like an accessory and novelty since it makes them look like a good person, because they're so "tolerant".

dealing with this right now, except i look horrible

No wonder, you care about fucking clothes m8, who gives a fuck, what do you do, sit around talking about jeans? you sound boring as fuck. I only checked out this board to see if people take it seriously, hilarious.

I think more critically about things that are not math based.

Native Chinese people post on here? Or are you foreign-born chinese? Who is Sad pigeon girl?

people are attracted to me even more than before, kinda makes it difficult to go out in public because i can feel everyone's eyes looking at me

also a lot more social media followers for some reason

Fashion is an artform. It's self expression. Men usually aren't expected to give their outfit much thought, so actually caring about fashion is a form of rebellion while it also boosts your confidence and sense of individuality. Fashion is the very beginning of the path to your true self whilst still being conform. Meanwhile I dress just slightly better than everyone else and keep copping clothing I regret. Really it's hard to have your own unique style and not look like a fucking poser. Kids these days are becoming more and more fashion aware really.

I notice what people wear first before I lok them in the face. When somebody approaches me I check their outfit out first then look at them to thr point where I'm judging their outfits even if they don't care about what they wear. I silently judge every outfit I see

fag hags
it means fag hags

UP
THE
RA

I started feeling more confident until I left the house and realize I'm basically still incapable of socializing with people outside my friend group and can't talk to people I don't know unless they approach me first.
Then I started to reevaluate the way I was dressing, coming to realize it still wasn't very good and I'd lost all sense of personal style, buying shit b/c it looked cool on screen and I've just started to figure out what I want to aim for, but I don't have any money. And I'm starting to think of my future and my dream is just to run a clothing store which is kind of unrealistic but I have no other goals because I've lost interest in quite literally everything outside of fashion and music so I have no ambitions and no real idea of what to do to make a basic living and I've never had a girlfriend. I hate myself and want to die, but I'm afraid of death and have no will towards suicide.

there's a huge difference from me trying to figure out what to say to a girl and someone stalking a girl home
