rpanons | help meme please

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.

I actually read the premise. In fact, the other anon suggested that this game might be a short-run game rather a murdergame.

Maybe I should start that route first?

I think you need to stop and re-evaluate if modding in general is even for you. You seem like a person who has trouble with anxiety, and that is not a good thing when it comes to modding. As a mod, you have to be the one to deal with a lot of things (problem players, player conflicts, crit about your game, the constant stream of questions from players and potential players, worrying about how to fit special cases into your game, and much more) and given that your answer to "well maybe you should try a murdergame first to see if you even like the format?" was "Well I guess my dreams are crushed, no game for me :(" I don't think you can handle being a mod right now. You need to get your personal issues under control first and stop putting your emotional responsibility on others before you're ready to be a mod.

agreeing with the anon above me.

you're not confident in your decisions and your choices in pulling together a premise, which implies you won't be confident in your decisions when modding/running a game which spells bad news. people are going to dissent and disagree: does that mean your ideas are bad? no, not necessarily. does that mean there are improvements that can be made? almost certainly. does that mean that you need to know when to put your foot down and say 'this is the idea (we're) going with'? also yes.

sometimes you will make decisions not everyone will agree with, but you need to be confident and you need to be able to stand by them.

requiring handholding in even pulling together a premise and panicking in the face of constructive criticism is ... not a good sign. your idea could be the best idea in the world, but if you don't have the confidence to pull it off, it's going to flop.

You're right. Everyone is calling my other idea weird right now and I don't even have the confidence because of the other anon's opinions. Not to mention I'm too scared to even join a murdergame.

The fact that I'm not even listening to other anons and keep asking some handholding makes me feel ashamed of myself.

No.

"Everyone is calling my other idea weird right now and I don't even have the confidence because of the other anon's opinions."

This right here? Stop it.

Nobody is calling your idea weird, and it's definitely not anon's fault that you're taking advice (not even crit, but legit ADVICE) poorly.

Stop trying to blame other people for your personal problems. Myself and some other anons are trying to be genuinely helpful, and you're throwing that help right back in our faces by throwing this pity party and acting like it's our fault you have confidence issues.

Grow up. We're all adults in this hobby, so start acting like one.
