I've approached a lot of people, asked them questions, and tried to generate conversation but it seems there are a lot of cliques and groups that kind of stick together and are difficult to breach that goes beyond just IC reasoning (which I totally understand - clearly some people have good reasons to be cold).
Aside from that, in worst cases, my emotes and text get ignored all together by other roleplayers (even when they're directed at someone by name) and I'm left feeling awkward and unwelcome. This has happened quite a bit in the last few days, as well -- they're not AFK, there's no chatspam making it difficult to follow, they just...don't...respond.
I guess I'm not sure what I hope to accomplish by posting this except maybe there's someone else who's having a similar trouble who can relate? Or maybe I'm a weird, freak occurrence and I'm giving off bad vibes or something, idk! I'm not looking for any kind of 'boohoo, poor me', just hoping for a bit of insight or camaraderie or something.
In any case, I'm still trying and putting myself out there, I just hope things take a turn for the better soon.
People occasionally make posts like these and while I don't really have much experience either way, I do empathise with it ;Â Â It must be a horrible feeling to have your attempts refuted but all I can really suggest is that you keep trying and perhaps look for connections ahead of time on the forum here and organise meetings in-game and hope that randoms might join in with your group(perhaps that's more appealing to some?)
On an unrelated note, are you by chance married to Trenton Cador?
