Rundown: [community profile] 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.

i'm mail-friendly with a few rp partners too and tbh i've had this happen. sometimes i get really anxious about mailing packages for absolutely no reason or i feel too apathetic to actually go out and ship something so it never gets sent, then i remember it/see the item laying around and i feel even worse about it so i avoid the problem even more.

could be something like that happening, idk.

it's not "no reason", it's depression.

i was trying to portray the sense of it comes out of the blue, nothing triggers it, i can't take measures to make it not happen because there's absolutely no reason behind it in the first place (meaning it's not like i'm some tittybaby who shakes and cries every time i have to go outside. i go outside every day and handle my own responsibilities. i'm used to it), and there's no way to tell when it's going to hit

this is exactly what happens to me, almost every time, without fail. i agreed to a thing like a year ago now and i couldnt locate the item in question when i made the agreement, several months later i found it and i just... do they even want it any more... it's just a 10 dollar toy, they probably bought it for themselves by now and sending something like that a year late is basically an insult at this point

they do have depression, so that might be the case. i definitely did that to this same person last year (i had purchased something through proxy on their behalf because i was already buying stuff for myself and didn't send it until a few months later), and i hadn't thought about that! it's a good point.

i may try to gently bring it up the next time we're talking about things coming in the mail. i don't want her to feel ashamed for taking a while, but let her know i understand since I did it before, myself.

thanks, anon
