I still don't really want to rejoin after having missed so much. I'd rather a complete restart. One of my problematic quirks.

Jump out of your comfort zone a little, going into an unknown situation is really good for your acting/RP skills

I don't want to, since I have problems with joining late or rejoining. It'd be better to start a new RP imo, but then I'd want to rush it to catch up in page count. My quitting RPing hurts me, but I feel it better to take the hurt than be a jerk over whose RP has how many pages or whatever. I'm probably messed up in my thinking, but I'm trying to be nice by trying to not to ruin anyone else's fun. Tyrantrum could let you rejoin your character and enact the trope 'remember the new guy' or 'the bus came back'. You wouldn't have to catch up by any means. ...Except for the fact that I killed off Amy's character when she left. Oops. Anyways, I can't outright restart it, unless I decided to remake it after it ended, but I do have a few RP ideas swimming around in my head. |

I think my interest in RPing has been crushed completely.

Okay, listen. If you need to leave because of you feeling like it would be better if you would until you feel better, that's the thing you should do. It's much better if you just need to leave until further notice because you are having issues. It will help you out in the end and you might save a few friends feelings because of it.

How will it help me? The problem making leaving difficult for me is re-adjusting after being away. That, and falling behind in whatever, I'm not fond of read through back pages to get caught up on things.
Anyway, to try something;
Ok, I understand this is probably really annoying, frustrating, irritating, deal with this. That's what I'm thinking you all are feeling, maybe that and angry too and hating me for this, which is also understandable. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Anyway, how do you think I feel?
I know I probably come off as a selfish B + Itch you won't be happy until she gets her way, I'm sure many are think that about me. Well, I could be wrong there, but even so. That's not the truth. I'd like to figure out a solution that will help me be "happy" again while not ruining anyone else's fun and happiness. If I wanted to ruin your fun, um, wouldn't I have already gone out of my way to do so? I actually understand very well that I can't have my way, but isn't some kind of agreement able to be reached in which it's win-win?

I'm *really* not into RP and I never, ever visit that forum section so I barely have any idea why it makes life so hard for you. But if it's because you and another party both clash in ideas, I think just a mere compromise would flat the excitement.
Let me put it this way: If you're with a crowd(in this case an RP community), and they absolutely refuse to co-operate with you, then you're in the wrong crowd. Get off, you don't need that sort of frustration in your life. You might look for another crowd to suit your needs. It's either that or sucking up the expectations the first crowd forces on you, meaning you've no right to complain, and then just follow their lingo to the letter. No other way around it.
I mean, you know, RPs are very hard to pull off anyway, especially when everyone(on this forum) is young and inexperienced. That's why someone will always find something about it to complain about and RPs will always shape up less than ideal. To have a good RP sense you need to have experience with it in real life(D&D sessions are a must) or practice it in MMOs. And literally none of the people here did have any of that experience, and they definitely don't follow any basic RP etiquette. So of course chaos and differing opinions will be rampant, because you're both trying to shape up a subject you all know nothing about! It's like you're trying to play music without knowing any of the instruments or music theory, and suddenly you're blaming the rest of the band for playing badly even though you're doing the same thing.
And so, either find a new hobby, or, if you're still attracted by the idea of RP-ing, you can only either move onto a professional, older RP forum and follow their rules, learn a lot, have some taste of true order and organisation. I mean, you can still stick to this forum's RP, but don't blame anyone if you think it's stupid or you have to catch up with some things. Or, if by some magic, the RP section in here all matures overnight and become roleplay masters who know their shit.

You haven't RP'd till you've met a real, honest-to-good neckbeard DM.

Okay I have to step in right here. People, the internet is not a psychologists office, none of us are really certified to help you out with personal issues. If the place is stressing you out then by all means take a break from it but don't ask us for help on personal issues. I can't help with any issues you have because I really don't know how to help you. I can't diagnose what any problems you may have nor can anyone else on this site (unless they are fully certified which I doubt). All I can really do is say if you have any personal issues that you really need to deal with then talk to a professional, there's really nothing wrong with doing so, don't be scared about it and if you really need to vent talk to a close friend about it. These issues really shouldn't be displayed on the internet for everyone to see. It only invites trouble and some people may not be very kind about it. Thread closed.
