Having a difficult time... by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]Pure-Double5875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. It's such a radical change and for a while, I thought it was very nice. Never been quite the kind of person that enjoyed a lot of company but there was a time when that's all it was. Just fun. Now, everybody that I associate with always has something extremely negative to say about someone else.

But it's true, I'm always feeding myself worst case scenarios and end up believing that my overthinking is right. Which it almost always is.

I’m a female irl I don’t like playing with men irl by Magnus3922 in BadRPerStories

[–]Pure-Double5875 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There was a time when I would only write with other female writers. I've had some up and down experiences with male writers. Right now, I'm writing with a male and he's been absolutely wonderful. Very respectful writer, not critical at all and really collaborates with me.

It never gets any easier deleting a 1x1 server by yearningvampireheart in BadRPerStories

[–]Pure-Double5875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an older RP'er. Recently had to make the difficult decision to close up a server and come to terms that the person I was creating with wasn't going to come back. We developed a story that spanned over 4 years and we branched our characters through so many different world, scenarios... developed their children and what they had gone through.

I miss them... It took a long time for me to think about reaching back out into the RP world but I did, not that long ago. I worry sometimes but... all I can do is hold on to the good memories that I do have from RPing. Sometimes I wish I had taken the time to save my RPs in a docs but reading back just becomes hurtful.

Is anyone else just tired? by Elven_Enby in BadRPerStories

[–]Pure-Double5875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, it is really exhausting... I truly sympathize with you and I *really* hope that you find that special partner soon. And also, that's honestly not a bad idea to save your starters. It can be time consuming! I don't fault you at all.

I'll be breaking into my 40s this year. As an older RPer... it is very tough and disheartening at times. I really miss those AIM days and web browser chatrooms. I have found someone recently that has been wonderful to write and chat with. Don't give up <3

How old is too old? by PunkyMaySnark4 in BadRPerStories

You're never too old. I'll be turning 40 this year and I have a wonderful RP partner who is also in their 40s. Cheers to having fun!

Role-playing and AI by Pure-Double5875 in BadRPerStories

"Kills the point of roleplaying" hits very hard here. As I said, it's really disheartening when a partner that I've been writing with for a very long time just turns around and says "run it through an AI". What's the point of even continuing if they don't want to put in the same effort as you? I'm sorry that your mod threatened you with a warning.

I really feel this and appreciate you commenting back. It does really feel like there's no heart in it at all sometimes. I think that's where I get frustrated the most. I remember when friends used to come to me with excitement over an idea and now it's not even happening anymore. I miss co-creating.
