This whole post made me smile. I'm happy for you Lili! Yes also on the happy, I know so many people who have met through online RP etc.. (I had to rely on table top before the internet myself ) .. and sammage!

I think real experience says more than any theory.. *hugs* If it is malicious I agree, but often things fall apart and all are hurt. There is no fault just regret.

A few times and I come back for more.. soo... First before all that hurt, be prepared to get hurt. If you are not then you also miss out on the joy. For strangers and casual friends then this is easily brushed off. If that raid really wound you up go do something else until you can shake it off. This will happen again and again. Tip: Find a vid/song that always makes you feel happy and calm. Then put an elastic band on your wrist. Every time you feel a twinge of annoyance or hurt, twang that rubber band and play your happy thing. This lets you intercept the automatic reaction and over time you will become more resilient as you start to spot what triggers you. Works for road rage and other stuff too. What is more hurtful is longer based friendships that go bad, the hurt never goes away in my experience and I carry a few around with me. Try and fix it being open and honest, and if you can't move on. Moving on sounds easy, it isn't .. it really really isn't. Emotions I feel don't care for the logic of separation, emotions are felt by you and are therefore real and you will have to go through real recovery to move on. If you do have to move on, expect it to be painful, break off all contact, links and things that remind you of that person(s). Find new activities and people to be with, and don't be tempted to check on them. Find people who support and believe in you, people who make you smile not frown. At some point you will come to accept the past, and look back on it and learn the lessons about yourself. You will still carry the hurt but you will have some understanding and acceptance. And it will always hit you when you least expect it.

Check out the Linkshells, there are several for RP, and new starters and all sorts of stuff. Pick a few you think would suit and then shop around if they are not active or not to your liking.

There I saved you more time

Well in my dyslexic scan of the wibbly shapes and a TLDNR approach to life.. Awwww you love us, we love you too.. can we haz RP?

I would have written it off as QS *boggle* there goes my BL limit again.

Nebula, had a nice walk up RP with Ramuhnuh, at first I thought she was just an opportunistic gil maker, but then we got to discussing the people who depend on her for their livelihood. Very nicely done. .

Inventor of the Smile hugs!! What's not to love with that! (ps been holding that one ready for days )

Melodia --- Is getting married! ♥♥ .

Apple sellers spotted in Gridania

Today in Roulette Ex.. just a little thing.. made me happy

It would probably be a bit of an adult child conversation ending in me acting as their taxi to take them where they need to go.

Go for it, just "skin" the magic system with your own shamen twist. That's what I do for witchery.

Gods, did you see them when they were all crafting? It was the weirdest, most awful thing. No I almost just joined the queue Very strange in an interesting way.

Go for it, make it something about your character and make it so it does not impose on others or break peoples plots. It could also be a good and bad thing for your character. Being stunned by a burst of Aether for example. Nebula is always staggered after a teleport for example. Make it a characteristic that adds depth and flavour and not an uber power.

Lots of FCs still RP, and even some of the larger ones that maybe were insular are having to look outwards as shrinkage occurs. There much to be said for smaller fresh FCs if you want in at the formation periods, these offer a great level of activity and interaction. I would check their web pages to see what sort of activity they are actually up to. That way you can ensure you find those that would suit your style/needs. There are also LS to consider for wider RPs eg -- see those in my sig

I laid down on the floor and played grrr and tumble with our two dogs. I get covers in dust a few scratches and a big smile!

Nebula had a sense it would be one of those days in Limsa Her Moogle-doogle hat helped her pinpoint some of the strangeness

Oooh yay! And cute couple!

Just divine

For all those couples out there is feels/drama land - laughing at ourselves TN9MLa9q2Gc
