How one person ruined RP for me
5 years ago
This is a vent journal nothing more. i merely wanted to dump the contents of my brain into some other format.
This all started back in the early 2010's. I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact dates, as I had a lot going on in my life aside from this, but This is when Skype was in it's heyday.
I joined as forum with an RP channel in it, and things were okay for the most part. I had my Skype info out in the open so one day I get a new message. This person wanted to RP just one on one, and I agreed, and soon they wormed their way deep into my life. The thing is they would post minimal info on their end. They claimed this was so others would be free to their imagination, but looking back I think they just liked to have others do all the work. When I say their posts were minimal I mean like 2-3 sentences tops, where as at times I was posting walls of text I put a lot of effort into. Thing is they were very persistent, and this soon made me uncomfortable. I have severe generalized anxiety, and soon asked if they would mind just RPing on the forum. They gave some BS reason why they don't and then for the next couple of years hounded me almost constantly about RP. It got really bad. They even tried conning me into buying shit from their Amway account, luckily I never bought into that. I told them about my anxiety, and they tried to get me to use these wrist band things to help me. I politely refused, but they would continue to press this, among many other issues at me. Finally this all culminated when I told them that me and a few friends were making a web comic, and they insisted that I introduce them, well I leave them alone with my friends for like 1 hour, and next thing I know my friends are pissed. This guy in the span of like 30 or so minutes tried to complete hijack the comic, and omit certain things he did not approve of from the plot. By this time I finally blocked him, but it was too late, the damage was done. Now any time I try and RP my anxiety spikes, this issue only occurred AFTER meeting him. Thanks to any who read this.
