Help! My rp partner hasn't invited me to play our OTP in their game! (´・ω・`)

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

anon, this is unfortunately just how our stupid lizard brains work. It's normal. Priorities wax and wane, but knowing that doesn't always reassure the little anxious feeling in your gut that says maybe they're bored with you.

Try to remember that the amount that a person tags you doesn't reflect upon how much they like you as a person, or even how good a writer you are. There are phenomenal writers that I tag slowly because something about a particular line isn't coming easily, and people I talk to daily and tag maybe weekly just because that's our speed. There are people I boomerang that I barely know. It doesn't follow any kind of pattern regarding how much I enjoy that person's writing or characters, and definitely not them as a person.

Stepping back a little, getting some good fresh threads going with new people, and just being kind to yourself so you can put things in a better perspective might help. Have someone safe you can vent to if you need to, but be careful because sometimes venting too much just keeps hurt feelings fresh. Give yourself five minutes to be annoyed by it and then get up and physically do something else, if you can, and remind yourself that it's okay to feel how you feel as long as you're not letting it spill over and hurt others or turning it inward so much that you're miserable more than you're happy.
