If you go into a place and describe your thoughts, I, as a character, cannot acknowledge having read what you just emoted. Because it was in your head. If you emote that you are distracted by fumbling about, being clumsy, looking lost, that's something I as a character can observe and respond to.
When you emote that you're feeling lost, I can't acknowledge it because it's internal to you.
I'm hesitant to reply to this. Because you seem to have the imaginary "RP Rulebook" out. But I will anyway.
I have never had an issue with it. If someone emotes feeling lost, I assume that they put it there to be noticed. So I can react by acting on intuition.
When people on the street walk by, I can gather which one looks lost or might be FEELING lost. It's not because I can read their minds, but it's because I can observe behavior and feel empathy. Same applies to my character, only there is a different method of delivery.Â
If people are having inner monologue about themselves, however, chances are I won't rp with them. Unless it's in a forum setting in which case I enjoy it greatly.
So rephrasing your opening statement to "Feel free to do this in your RP, however there are some who will ignore you" might be more appropriate than speaking for all RPers everywhere.
