Who wouldn't want to feel like a superman, a wizard or a beautiful princess? Or become someone else for a while and escape from reality?
Cosplay gives you the opportunity to bring a fairy tale into your life and escape the ordinary. Defiling at a festival in front of a full auditorium, participating in photo shoots, you can hear words of admiration and possibly get fame. Creating a costume almost always becomes an exciting puzzle, but the creative process is just as much fun as showing off the finished costume at a fashion show. Cosplay itself also provides an opportunity to meet a host of creative and positive people. In essence, cosplay is a good alternative to psychotherapy, because all internal problems recede into the background when the festival is on, and the costume lacks vital details, such as destiny pistol.
Cosplay and the development of confidence
Cosplay helps you to discover yourself or some of your personal qualities, to enrich and diversify your life, to acquire new skills and friends. This hobby is great for people who have difficulty communicating and often feel insecure.
Cosplay helps in self-disclosure and self-knowledge, in the ability to establish contacts with others. This type of subculture allows a person to express himself as a creator of another reality. This approach instills confidence in the person, raises his self-esteem, gives an impetus for inspiration and in other areas of activity.
Cosplay festivals are not limited to the competition for the best costume, it is not only skits and numbers, but a great opportunity to communicate and share experiences with representatives of this wonderful subculture. It is positive emotions and vivid impressions, which are so lacking in people's lives.
