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.

thank you anon. giving them space and letting them come to me is what i've been doing so i'll just keep up with that.

i know in my head that it's probably nothing to do with me because they are very open with me, but my mental health has taken a hit during the pandemic so it's harder to be rational and not get emotional about it.

i hope i didn't sound too harsh or anything. i've just seen a lot of people complaining their rp has slowed down and as someone else who's had to distance myself from everything including my friends due to stress, i've been getting a little annoyed. not accusing you of doing that, since you seem to be understanding, but yeah.

i think most people's emotional and mental health is all over the place right now. you're not alone.

no it's alright, i understand why that would be frustrating. it kinda sucks on both sides when the ways that you and other people cope with stress aren't very compatible.

but yeah sad low five for being mentally, emotionally, and spiritually fucked by covid.

da but this is definitely the case for me. i feel bad because i promised a couple of people starters but i've just been having the worst time working up the motivation to write them. it's not that i'm not interested in the characters or the threads, it's just that i feel drained creatively and i hate it. i end up sitting at my computer watching stupid youtube reaction videos instead of writing.

so it's probably nothing personal at all.

i would hope your partners understand that irl mental health comes before a hobby like rp. i'm sure they do... though we definitely have some people who are unhealthily obsessed with rp. i understand for some it's a way to cope via escapism, but it should never come at the cost of anything irl.

You were definitely projecting onto that anon. Just because they're talking about missing a friend doesn't mean that they're someone you know talking about you, Becky. You're stressed, and maybe you should socially distance yourself from rpa and go take a nice bath or something if you can.

talk about projection. calm down.

there's literally nothing harsh or projecting about "if they're anything like me, they prefer to deal with their problems without help from friends, though i'm sure they can appreciate you reaching out. either way, at this point it's better to let them come to you. it's probably not anything that you specifically did."

you're being an oversensitive baby. maybe you need the bath.
