Morbid Outlook spuntino Morbid Outlook I think if the mannerisms of lolita and the lifestyle appeal to you, then if you want to change your self then go a head. As long as you aren't forcing your self into a nonexistent lolita "ideal", then do what you want.
A lot of girls who do this, I've noticed, either haven't been into the fashion very long, or else are huge fans of Princess Skye [which is ironic, since she herself has written articles talking about how there is no "one" lolita lifestyle and that hers is hardly the "perfect" lifestyle for everyone, as it's all a sort of role-playing to her]. Many times, they grow out of it and realize that they don't have to give up liking skateboards or violent movies or pizza when they're dressed up. Sometimes, it results in a lot of drama and suffering along the way.
Mostly, that's the sort of change I'm against; the rejection of all past influences to fit into some imagined ideal rather than an acceptance of yourself as yourself, whether you like ruffles and lace or not.
Yeah, basiclly what I was thinking. I think it should be bolded on every page on lolita, that there is no ideal lolita lifestyle. >.<. Well Put!!

Uhg, I give up in bashing people who change to fit the supposed :lolita lifestyle" (which I have never really heard of here in Japan outside anime and movies)
I havn't changed nothing except adding a new style to the many I dress in, mainly gothic, visual kei, decora and not loli.
Changed about me? Not much, I shop at new stores now and meet many new people, but it hasn't changed me as a person because i dont want it to, i like me the way I am.

How I changed myself:
I started reading things about lolita and learning how to be more open to alternative lifestyles. I have a strict family and I've always been a bit close minded without knowing it. Now I've discovered many different things in life.
How lolita changed me:
I started feeling less self conscious (which I didn't even Know I had felt that way before) I feel more graceful and feminine. I don't find it necessary to curse like crazy anymore, I've found alternative and more sophisticated ways to tell people off lol. I feel more unique in my clothing even though alot of people wear it around the world. (Maybe it's because no one at my school wears it)

How I changed myself:
Before I was starting to give up hope of ever passing and getting help with my condition. I had started neglecting my appearance cause I didn't think I'd be able to live my life passing as a woman ever. Then somebody showed me a picture of mana.
How lolita changed me: I dress more feminine now than I ever thought I'd dare to, if anybody has a problem with that it's their problem not mine. I feel more confident and happier with myself. Am still wrestling with the clinic for approval for treatment, but now it seems possible. That may sound ridiculous to some people, but to be perfectly frank they've never felt like that so have no idea what they are talking about.

Unconsciously I've changed. I'm not sure if it's therapy or other factors, but I'm starting to be elitist. Not in terms of clothing or intelligence or anything, but in maturity. Everyone is just so... immature, and so... weeaboo.
