Are you a person that usually uses a costume in Halloween?
Recently, a cousin invited me to a costume party for her baby's birthday. The fact that the birthday is in October makes it a requirement to wear a costume. I don't usually wear costumes on Halloween, I don't feel comfortable.
The only time I wore a costume was when I was a child, going out trick-or-treating. As an adult, I haven't done it again until in my job obligated me to.
When I was a teacher at a high school, all teachers had to wear costumes to encourage the students to do the same. I was a hippie the first year and Wanda from the cartoon The Fairly OddParents the next year. But I really hated it! I don't know, I just didn't enjoy it. I felt that I had to be a clown to make my students happy.
Now, the same thing is happening again. I bought cat ears and a tail, I just need to paint whiskers and a black nose on my face. I don't need anything else.
So, do you enjoy wearing costumes? hahaha.
Thank you for reading me! :D
¿Eres de los que suelen disfrazarse en Halloween?
Hace poco, una prima me invitó a una fiesta de disfraces para celebrar el cumpleaños de su bebé. El hecho de que el cumpleaños sea en octubre hace que sea obligatorio llevar un disfraz. Normalmente no me disfrazo en Halloween, no me siento cómoda.
La única vez que me disfracé fue cuando era niña, para salir a pedir dulces. De adulta, no lo había vuelto a hacer hasta que mi trabajo me obligó a ello.
Cuando era maestra en una preparatoria, todos los maestros tenían que disfrazarse para animar a los alumnos a hacer lo mismo. El primer año fui de hippie y al año siguiente de Wanda, el personaje de la serie animada Los padrinos mágicos. ¡Pero lo odié! No sé, simplemente no lo disfruté. Sentía que tenía que hacer el payaso para que mis alumnos estuvieran contentos.
Ahora está volviendo a pasar lo mismo. Compré unas orejas de gato y una cola, solo tengo que pintarme bigotes y una nariz negra en la cara. No necesito nada más.
¿Te gusta disfrazarte? Jajaja.
¡Gracias por leerme! :D

Thank you, I'm really happy with my English.
Are you a person that usually usewears a costume ion Halloween?
we can sometimes use the word "use" with clothing, but typically it is just "wear"
For example, it would be normal to hear someone say "I am going to use gloves for this" but not "I am going to use a jacket today"
"wear" is always, as far as I can think, going to be OK to use

or "makes wearing a costume a requirement"
I don't usually wear costumes on Halloween, because I don't feel comfortable.
The only time I wore a costume was when I was a child, going out trick-or-treating.
As an adult, I haven't done it again until in my job obligated me to.
sounds pretty formal this way.
maybe try "until my job made me."

I combined this with the previous sentence. You could also have a separate sentence that just says "I hated it!"
It wouldn't sound bad to leave it the way you had it, though.
I don't know, I just didn't enjoy it.

"for reading this"
or
"for reading my entry"

You are getting your message and feelings across very well in your writing. I absolutely do not enjoy wearing costumes, haha.

Thank you very much for your corrections and your time too. I'd like to be like you, perhaps it's because I'm so serious, I hate wearing costumes, hahahaha.
The only time I wore a costume was when I was a child, going ouwhen I went trick-or-treating.
This is more natural and ties the trick-or-treating addition to the rest of the sentence better.
As an adult, I havedn't done it again until in my job obligated me to.
Hadn't is more accurate than haven't, since haven't implies that the event has not recurred, which the final part of the sentence contradicts. The word 'in' between until and my is also not needed.

Reading me is incorrect: this implies that there is text on you and that we are literally reading your body!

An English speaker would not say they "obligated me". They would say "I was obligated by my job". Or a more common phrase would be "my job made me".

You could also say "thank you for reading my journal". "Reading me" has the implication that you are judging a person.

Great writing! Translating reflexive verbs can be tricky because English is not consistent when translating from Spanish.
I love dressing up for Halloween! A cat is a good choice if you do not enjoy it though
Oct. 16, 2025
Yes, and writing this I discovered that "trick-or-treating" is a verb, I thought it only was song, hahaha. I'd like to enjoy wear costumes, but not. I'm like an ogre, hahaha.
