>>46277440So what you're saying, anon, is that you have repressed your desire to dress up as your favourite character and have dumb fun because it would "hurt your pride and self-awareness" and you would have to "follow the cosplay rules"? Interesting. Tell me about your past. Perhaps you have experienced a serious psychological trauma as a kid? Were you getting ridiculed by your piers because you did something embarrassing in front of them?
