PSA- Very Important
I’m going to bring this up since I’m currently going through it and I’m trying to deal with this better. It’s been eating me up inside for a while now and I don’t know how to address it.
Anyway, for the roleplaying community… heck, this could apply to Art Blogs, Writers, or just in general…
Sometimes we have off days. Sometimes we have busy days. Sometimes we want attention and sometimes we don’t. There are days where you want to do something and other days where you have low energy that you don’t want to talk to anybody and you’re just lurking around. Sometimes, you might feel like interacting with a few select people to make yourself feel better. And sometimes, you just don’t have the right words to say or think.
Whatever the case may be, do not be ashamed to say no. Try not to feel bad about it. Do not force yourself into doing something just to make everyone happy.
Lately, I have been falling behind on my replies to things and I’m not on much to check up on people and when I do, I see that they deactivated their account and I can’t help but feel it is my fault. I feel bad when someone brings up that they see me interacting with a few people and they feel sad and I feel like I’m too lazy and inconsiderate that I didn’t interact with them.
No one should feel this way.
It’s okay to be silent. It’s okay to be semi-selective at times when you feel uncomfortable or low.
And just for everyone, please have patience and some understanding because some people are shy or don’t want to say no. Actually have a conversation with someone you are writing to.
