My mom mocked and laughed when she saw my Jirai clothes today

My Jirai haul came in today and my mom happened to walk by when I was trying on the clothes. She said I’m some sort of anime freak and dress crazy, telling me to sell off everything because I’d look ridiculous in them. I played it cool but later cried in my room for an hour straight.

I have been wearing Jirai on and off for a while now without my mom knowing. She’s a stereotypical Asian mom and has been ridiculing me my whole life, which led to a lot of self-image issues and ED. She even made fun of me for starting to go to the gym and gaining weight to a healthy range, telling me I look bulky, calling me a fat pig and showing me the worst photos of myself during that time to force me to lose weight, yet she then later started gym…

I struggle with depression and anxiety disorder, and I also don’t have any friends who live close to hang out with for pretty much all 4 years of college, but occasionally I still have my boyfriend. It’s such a bad environment altogether, but having Jirai as a hobby helped so much. The interaction just made me feel awful about myself. I want to give up on everything altogether. I don’t understand why my own mom is so mean to me about how I look, while seemingly everyone else’s mom is so supportive and kind to them regardless of how they choose to dress.

I was honestly so happy about my haul but it all went away in an instant. It’s so tiring being this way. I wish I can just not care about anyone’s opinion to protect the little happiness left in my life.

I lost $30 getting LL dupes on Aliexpress from Japanese Niche Store, please be careful!

As titled, I bought a lot of stuff from Japanese Niche Shop Store on Aliexpress, returned a couple and for 1 item that I returned, I was not refunded fully because the seller claimed some part was missing. Not one during this entire process was I shown any proof, and it seems like they didn’t even bother to confront the seller. The seller provided me with a fake tracking number for another item, I waited more than 2 weeks and then finally had to put in a request for a refund for that item. It’s bizarre to me that Aliexpress chose to side with the seller after all that. They just dragged the dispute until it’s out of the protection period and today, I officially lost $30 after 3-4 weeks of constant disputing. I’m now looking to talk to my bank and it’s just gonna be more work. I feel so depressed. I worked multiple jobs while struggling with depression to get money to spend on Jirai clothes, it’s the only thing I look forward to and totally didn’t expect my first time getting dupes from Aliexpress to be this terrible, I have been purchasing stuff from the platform for years.

Please please please, if you’re going to buy dupes, go on Taobao as their protection policy is slightly better and the dupes are also better quality. If you can (or want to), report this specific store so they won’t be scamming more Jirais 🥲

How to buy from Xianyu?

I tried to link my card to Alipay and pay for some Jirai pieces from Xianyu but none of the transactions went through 🥲 Alipay straight up restricted my card. Is there any way to just pay directly with credit card?

Is it just me or DML sets have really unflattering upper body design?

I really love this set until I see it on DML models who are already extremely petite. Their shoulders look tripled in width wearing sets with a similar cut and the waist line is all the way up at the ribs. It’s so unflattering. How can anyone make this work?

Has anyone tried DML sets with similar design? Do they really enlarge the shoulders like in the pics?

Tall Jirai’s experience with Pium clothes?

I’m trying to experience with suna kei because all of Pium clothes just look so cute, but I’m 5’9 and I’m worried they all would be really really short. I’m scared of flashing someone if I do buy one of their dresses or tops if I move a little too much 🥲 Had anyone around 5’8+ try on their clothes?

Why am I still being charged the extra 3%?

I placed a Taobao order with a different merchant that was under 200 and wasn’t charged (on a different card), but I’m still being charged the 3% for this order?

Is this a bad time to order from Taobao if you’re in the US?

This is my first time ordering from Taobao ever and I’m using Cainiao so I only know the rates right now. Are they unusually high now? My order is gonna be around $300 and mainly there are clothes and small accessories. Should I wait until things are normal to place an order?

How much would I need to pay for this Taobao order?

I’m US based and it’s my first time ordering from Taobao and using Cainiao as proxy, can someone give me an estimate of the final price including tariffs and shipping?

_(:3 」∠)_

I have 8 sets in cart right now.

I got into the worst depression episode of my life that I seemed to never get out off starting a year ago, and since then I lost all confidence to wear any Jirai coords out. I feel so ugly wearing them and that I’ve never fit into the cuteness of Jirai and that I have been just forcing it all along. I must have looked like a total freak back then. Since then I’ve been giving away and even trashing my coords somewhere, keeping only one that is my first coord and a few accessories. I feel so burdened looking at them and I don’t know if I should just pull the plug and get rid of everything and move on from Jirai, or this all of this is just very impulsive. I hate myself and how I just don’t fit into Jirai or anything cutesy but fit into literally any other thing. Idk if I wasted all my money just for nothing.
