😡 : Worse role play-related encounter and what advice you would give to others to avoid similar situations?
Roleplay related mun memes!
Well, once upon a time I met this person. We were muns of the same muse. I really thought their writing was good, and we hit it off pretty well! Gushing about our muse and roleplaying a bit. But then at one point they vague posted about me and called me an ‘amateur roleplayer’. Did I take it the wrong way? Because it seemed to me like a message that I’ve been wasting their time. If they thought that way, why did they agree to interact? It didn’t matter because I did what I always do in such situations. Walk away. I hate conflict and confrontations. Plus I barely knew them so it was easy.
Maybe I overreacted but it really put a damper on my roleplaying experience, and certainly didn’t do well for my self-esteem.
But! I wasn’t about to let that stop me from doing what I love. And it didn’t affect how I feel about duplicates. I always welcome muns of the same muse! It’s nice to see each of our unique portrayals.
Now I can’t say I can give any decent advice on how to avoid, but how to deal? Do what makes you feel most comfortable and happy. Your well-being is most important. Also, there are plenty of amazing people to meet and interact with. Don’t let one bad experience ruin your passion entirely.
