Sifen Yamishi As of last spring, I've been losing interest in going to conventions as well as cosplaying. Unsure why as I used to relish in attending these while in cosplay, etc. I saw online and it is due to two reasons: Depression or the fact that I'm growing out of it. Oddly enough, I know people in the circuit who have been doing the convention/cosplay thing for much longer than I have and yet they can't wait to dive in time and time again while I feel less and less enthusiastic while feeling more invisible. Help?
Sifen-san, a few questions for you to consider: 1. How many cons do you go to a year? As already mentioned you could take a break and only go to the cons that you like the most. 2. Other than doing and creating Cosplay outfits what are the other reasons why you have gone to the cons. 3. How long have you been going to the cons. If it's always the same ones each year consider trying to go to other cons that you have never been to before. 4. Do you always go to cons wearing a Cosplay outfit. If so consider going to one as yourself. 5. Do you always participate or go to just certain events, etc at cons. Consider trying something new. 6. What are your favorite Anime / Manga series. Do you Cosplay for just a certain series or a couple of series. Consider checking out other series. You may be surprised what you can find.
I recently have gotten interested in Anime series (In a big way) and Cosplaying (since 2009). Going to the cons for me is like going into another world where most people seem to be happy. Just seeing other people happy make me happy. Think about what has excited you in the past about cons and reflect on it. Also a suggestion: Next time you go to a con look around you and check out the people. Seeing them having a good time might help cheer you up.
I hope that this helps you. If you answer the questions please post them on this thread. The answers may help others out.

1. How many cons do you go to a year? 2 conventions a year. One in May/June, the other one during Labor Day weekend.
2. Other than doing and creating Cosplay outfits what are the other reasons why you have gone to the cons. Mainly to catch up with long-distance friends and as of late, to have a holiday with the girlfriend.
3. How long have you been going to the cons. If it's always the same ones each year consider trying to go to other cons that you have never been to before. Since 2006. Took a break from one or the other a few years back. It just made me crave for more conventions.
I'd go to one during spring break, but it cuts close to midterms for spring semester. There's another one in November, but it'll cut close to prepping for finals week.
Plus I'm restricted to conventions in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
4. Do you always go to cons wearing a Cosplay outfit. If so consider going to one as yourself. Used to. I tend to just throw stuff together or not wear outfits altogether nowadays. Doesn't help.
5. Do you always participate or go to just certain events, etc at cons. Consider trying something new. I normally went to visit with voice actors, etc. Skipped out on that lately. Now, it's mainly to go to panels that friends hold, to support them as well as hang about at the arcade.
6. What are your favorite Anime / Manga series. Do you Cosplay for just a certain series or a couple of series. Consider checking out other series. You may be surprised what you can find. I've done "Rockman.EXE", moved on to "FMA", "Hetalia", "Kuroshitsuji" and a few others.
Thought "Kuroshitsuji" and cosplaying with the girlfriend might revive the spark for cosplay/cons again. It brought us together, but the spark fizzled out.
