realizing i'm not in a place where i have the time to write with people who i'm constantly writing the perfect plot for but they can't put any efforts into the plots that like or have high inspiration for. especially if i've got like 6 or 7 plots where i'm catering to them and there's like one that i get?? but i can't get replies for it?? i'm at a space where i realize i'm tired of having to force myself to write replies hoping i'll get one for the thread or threads i like and continually being disappointed. my time and energy is a finite resource and i'm going to have to put it elsewhere. if you can't throw me even a bone, then why do i waste my time and write things that are honestly draining me and my inspiration? 

idk i think it's halfway because i was clinging to people who were actually replying to threads (just skirting around the ones i want). i'm so used to being ghosted ig it makes me more willing to put up with people's bs, but i can't afford that right now. 

i literally found myself opening a thread going "maybe if i reply to this i'll finally get a reply to that other thread" and i just closed the tab altogether because what the hell, minty. i shouldn't feel like i have to coax replies out of someone, especially when it means forcing myself to write something i don't really... want to. 

anyway, i'm going to try to get a handful of replies written this weekend, i'm open to new pmrp partners because it looks like i'll be dropping several.

i don't need to feel this way anymore. 

in the words of aespa, i got better things to do with my time.

I completely understand your efforts after being here often on since 2012 I’ve literally reached my breaking point, and I returned to the format. I was a part of before joining RPR. I’m so tired for the same reasons, and expressing my passion and joy and energy and creativity only to get nothing back or the weakest puff of smoke. It’s super disheartening. I will say though without trying to make a comment about propaganda when I returned home to the format I’m familiar with I can say I’ve been a lot happier since the move. I finally get to be among people who actually give a about their characters and their stories, and can be expensive and actually feel like my interactions are going somewhere.

The more tragic truth is if this site was filtered from people who for whatever reason cant/don't write, RPR would be a complete graveyard. Times were better and my condolences to hear that your precious time and efforts are being wasted. ;(

Oh no. I'm not making you feel that way, am I? I'm sorry if I'm part of the problem.
