Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

if they're genuinely depressed then you shouldn't be expecting a thank you. that's not how depression works. if they're depressed then they already feel like shit and trying to cheer them up is likely to make them feel guilty for wasting your time too.

that said, if you're disappointed at the lack of gratitude or that they're 'stuck' in this state, it might be best to move on. sometimes people can slip back into heavy states of depression; this person could be this way for a while. as you said, you're not very close and it sounds like you're only interested in the rp side of things?

which isn't an accusation btw. i'm not saying it's a bad thing. this is a hobby and like the other anon said, you are not their therapist and it isn't your job to lift them up. so if you're fine with moving on and you're done with waiting, i'd say move on.

or at least limit contact for a while. cut back, or whatever. don't expect anything from them until they feel better. if that happens.

it's not selfish to want to move on. you're in this hobby to write and to have fun, i assume. if they're not writing, you don't need to stick around. some people like that can unfortunately be very draining.
