Which has essentially led to not one but 5 separate plotlines across two games being abandoned/retconned because the person I depended on being there just stopped logging in. No word no warning, just one day they never logged in again. Which causes me to become depressed and generally abandon the game and character.
I am honestly concerned that there might be something wrong with me, that I drive people away from rping and gaming in general.
No no, it takes a certain kind of RPer to venture into the long term side of RP, it's not you.
There are many folks who are more like moths flitting from one RP/game to another. Even then others like the first part of an RP engagement and go off to seek more freshness when this dies down.
I myself look for longer term RP that makes me think, but honestly most of what I find remains superficial which is only really good for passing-by RP. You only get past my random RP front if you stick around.
All I can say is make your plots less reliant on an individual, progress them when you can or in downtime. Be prepared to run off at tangents/distractions as you RP with others. I often treat them as the slowly changing story of my character.
If you are finding RP then keep going, there will likely be another potential along shortly.
Psst - you know there is something wrong with everyone, right?
