This could be a profile post, but I feel like I need to go a bit more in depth than I can on a character-limited text box. Plus, it's more complicated than just "I'm taking a break."
There are a few factors playing into this. One is that mostly nothing is keeping me here. I've tried starting threads with people, but either they aren't active, or I suppose the threads aren't keeping their attention much; I'm not sure. I'm not getting responses at all from anyone except, like, one person, and although it means a lot to me it really isn't very encouraging. I came here to this website to try and revive my interest in roleplaying, and though everyone has been incredibly kind and helpful, I've not been able to get a consistent thread going. Of course I won't deny my constant inactivity due to school and near-crippling self-doubt, but even going past that I can't bring myself to care about threads that I used to worry so much over that I see my partner is just ... not responding to, for one reason or another. I suppose it's just been poor luck combined with my pickiness.
In any case, I am taking an official "break" from this website. I sort of already have been, since I really am only online for about 2 seconds to check to see if anyone's responded - I'm just making it official now in case people do respond and am confused as to where I am. I don't know when I'll be back. Could be a couple months, a couple years, or maybe I won't come back at all. I am getting a lot of storytelling satisfaction from DnD at my college. Maybe I'll come back if it doesn't work out after I graduate. Maybe I'll be too busy with my irl job. Maybe in 2 days I'll find the perfect roleplaying partner and suddenly become super active again. I don't know. All I do know is that I'm very tired of coming back to almost nothing, as well as constantly feeling like I can't measure up to posts.
So, goodbye, for now at least. I wish you all the best.
