I'm a very distant person by nature, so maybe I can explain some of my thought process.
I'm an extrovert. I thrive in a group environment. I'm really good at parties, the people who I went to to Las Vegas with can tell you I'm really upbeat and talkative, I'm good with people and I'm not really afraid of people... in a group environment. Group RP is easy, getting people together for group RP is easy, planning and telling stories for players is easy. Hell, making friends is fairly easy.... to a point.
My sticking point is one on one.
I will always talk to people I like in /FC or /LS. If you aren't in one of those with me, chances are I'm not going to talk to you much unless you send me a /tell. I'm not... comfortable with sending people tells by my nature. It feels really personal to me, since no one can see what your talking about and there are very few people in the game I will send tells to first (Counting: 2. a whole 2) and both of those people sent me tells first at the start. My first inclination is to go talk in /ls or /fc so everyone can see the conversation to and jump in on it. A lot of people find this strange about me, since I'm really good at directing people and unafraid of asking for rp or whatever. It's generally because I'm doing what needs to be done to move the story along, RP isn't personal so I don't worry about it so much.
I keep a lot of my personal information close to my chest. Not for any real reason other then I need to feel comfortable giving it out.
BUT, in my mind, I'm cool with a lot of people. Even if I don't talk to them very much it doesn't mean I don't like them or even that I'm not friends with them. I actually don't mind if people send me tells. I'll talk back or whatever, it's just not something I do very much. The best place to really socialize with me is in a group setting. Once you're not anywhere in a group that can see me talk, I generally don't go out of my way to make sure you can.
Also, I get BUSY in this game. I used to be the Guild Leader AND the Storyteller for my FC which was easily 13-14 hour days of doing nothing but feilding ooc questions, ic questions, raiding schedules, and drama. My entire day would look like: Get up, take a shower, write for an hour, get on the game, do roulettes, 10 hours of Guild responsibilities, some rp, go to bed. If I got up anytime past 10am, I would lament I wouldn't have time to do what I wanted to do that day. I GET BUSY.
Still do. I'm just the storyteller now but it still takes a lot of my time.
I'm like this is real life too. Anyone of my friends can tell you that's it's pretty normal for me to fall off the radar for awhile. I'm an extrovert and I'm social, but I also need time to just be a loner too - write a story or play a game. This game forces me to be social everyday so it's a little different.
THere are reasons for my behavior, but those are TMI really, so I hope I just explained it well enough XD
