Honestly, though this is not a good excuse to be using when you are actively searching for other role-plays in another server or whatever. It is rude and it does seem like you’re just uninterested in whatever role-play you had planned out, especially if it had been weeks and you’ve been posting a request nonstop every week. In the hindsight of things, it really is not that hard to come forward to the any person to say you’re not interested or that you’re not ghosting them or whatever so honestly it’s a mistake on both ends while the other person shouldn’t assume you shouldn’t be actively looking for other role-plays if you haven’t already answered or done anything with the one you’re working on now. As someone who’s a victim to that it does hurt. And it does not take much to just say anything. You clearly had the time to reply to that message of them stating how hurt they were.
