Take a deep breath.
Let it out.
Take a step back.
Large communities are inherently contradictory. On one hand, they're easy to find a multitude of people to rp with. On the other hand, large communities mean you're going to experience a much wider range of rejection.
And that's what this post comes down to: how to handle criticism and rejection, and what you make of it.
I am not denying that you've had a difficult time, or that it has been hurtful or demoralizing. That is your experience, and no one can invalidate your feelings. However, in writing communities, and gaming communities, one of the keys to dealing with it is how you plan for it, and how you manage it. There are many ways you can go about this, but the key here is to find a way that works for you.
It sounds like your method thus far has been to jump around on different characters. I'd propose that your theory as to why you're having issues -- that your characters are flawed or boring -- might not be what's going on. I can propose some solutions or thoughts as to what is going on, but it's going to be useless to try to help you work through unless
1 - you want to try to figure it out.
2 - you're open to some objective thoughts and criticisms.
You have to be ready to hear things you might not want to hear, and you have to be ready to possibly change things oocly (how you approach people, your attitude, your methods).
If you want to do so in a more private setting, please send me a message.
I will emphasize: you have to be open if you want help. If you just need to vent, that's an entirely different thing.
