I'm thinking about quitting rping in general. When i first started.... centuries ago lol i was determined to be a good roleplayer and better my writing skills and abilities to create vivid imagery and interesting stories. I remember when i joined my first rp site and didn't know how to get around on the site or how to post replies but I've com a long way which is surprising because one factor has always stayed the same no matter what rp site i go to or who i play on that site.
I can never be that person on a site everyone knows or has rpied with, I've never been the guy who has fifty friend requests on his history board I've never been that guy that admins look at an go "that guy right there is a damn good roleplayer and puts a lot of effort into hat he does." it's only been said to me once maybe twice and i think once was by my girlfriend who feels sorry for me lol. It's a shame though because I've been rping now for 6 years. I've been from Ancient Japan/ Anime sites to gang sites, I've been from playing as a ninja to a Cuba native complete with the Spanish accent and never once have people wanted to rp with me. No matter how hard i try. So i'm not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and i'm thinking about just turning around and walking back the way i came.
I'm not sure if i'm over evaluating myself, or if i'm beating myself up a bit much but i'm starting to convince myself that i haven't moved as far as i thought i had. I think there are so many factors that hinder my progress that i don't want to get into to sound whiny lol but yeah. I'm thinking about quitting the whole "rp" biz in general and going back to Microsoft word and typing my own stories again.
