going to add this to the list and I don't care whose feelings it hurts: Being completely open and honest with a roleplay partner and at the first sign of something they don't like dropping you as an RP partner

I've heard this sentiment shared with many roleplayers on this site. I just don't enjoy the wasted effort and energy, it's not wasted but rather... the potential is squandered for one reason or another. It's a natural part of a site like this and I understand that completely. However it doesn't...

So I just want to preface this by saying that I am not necessarily asking for advice I am more - just curious about your experiences and interest in roleplay. So let's get into the meat of it: I've ceased to roleplay on this site for a long time for the express reason that I join, what appears...

My life in one chunk of text, nice.

Yeah that's a proper indication that you should drop it. You don't have to put up with abuse like that :c

This thread was made to be kind of a cureall into those kinds of questions. I figure with enough responses and a healthy place to talk general patterns and reasons will start to become apparent.

Very respectable reasons - also! Hello again lol

So in hindsight they most likely aren't judging you for what you say :P

I actually am one of the more blunt people I would say, on this site. It's not necessarily a bad thing most the time you can talk to these people without fear of judgement contrary to the initial expectation. People who are blunt tend to respond well to open thoughts and unrestricted...

Makes sense, personally kills my creativity when people only post once a week. So makes sense, everyone has their own way of building up that spark of creativity.

Talk to your RP-mates and see if anyone would be willing to catch you up. You could make a character that tags along with someone else to make it easy to jump in at any time :)

Makes sense I find it helpful if the GM soft-enforces a location description at the top. Makes it easier to sift through everything - almost got too overwhelmed in one of those RP's recently; luckily I found a couple people who caught me up to speed :)

For sure! When your partner isn't as excited for the RP as you are it can really be a bummer... I've had my fair share of these experiences and it's just like "C'mon! show some umph! We're making a piece of awesome story here" haha :P

I think I'll add people not respecting each other's boundaries here as a personal reason.

Ah okay thanks for clarifying I was a bit confused haha

Well you can do what you can do and as long as you're willing to communicate when you won't be available then I don't see an issue. It's just a common curteousy so the gm and other RP'ers don't wait around for you :)

That is completely normal. Real life takes priority over anything online and I firmly believe that I think most people just want to know rather or not you'll be able to participate - details aside a quick "got some shit going on" will suffice. No one will blame you for it. The silent drops are...

Exactly we can't force anyone to be a certain way or have certain opinions, it's just best to listen and be as accepting as our personal moral's will allow us to be. You either click or you don't and there isn't anything wrong with that.

No I think the strings are getting tangled because I've yet to reveal the context of my own experience. My experience is joining a few roleplays and attempting to randomly RP - sometimes I'll find a person that I really click with. Because of that I've got a relationship with an rp partner that...

it's just... if you're exclusively looking for compatability there is a certain air of personal interest that goes into that. So of course jumping into a 1x1 rp with someone you've never talked to before or roleplayed with before is the greatest high stake's gamble you could make on an RP...
