The Sorry and Forgiveness Thread

[g0ne]

I'm not sure if there's one of these around here or not, but here goes.

 

I believe saying sorry and forgiving others is one of the best things you can do for yourself as well as for others. 

 

This thread is a thread when you can say sorry and forgive others. It's as simple as that.

 

I'll start.

 

First off, Lulu, I would like to say sorry, and ask you to please forgive me if I did anything that might have led you to your death. I tried my best to look after you and love you, but if it was not enough, I am sincerely sorry. You will always be in my heart. 

 

Next, to anyone and everyone who is reading this, if I ever did something that might have incited any sort of negative emotion or response in you, I am truly sorry for anything and everything. I would like you to know that I do not want to hurt others on purpose, but if I accidentally did so, or perhaps even if I do so on purpose, I hope that you will forgive me. 

 

Lastly, if anyone is worried that I might be holding something against them, please do not think so. I do not hold anything against any of you. And I forgive everything, and purge it from my mind and heart. Forgive and forget. 

 

Okies, I'm done. If anyone else wishes to utilise this thread, well, it's open for everyone.

[Jerciex]

Eleni, don't feel sorry. I know you are sad now and this might sound clichee,  but I'm sure that you cared and loved Lulu and other parrots as much as possible and you don't have anything to do with Lulu's dead or to be blamed. As long I have known you, you really care about your parrots. These parrot can't have better friend and family than you.

 

Forgiving yourself is most difficult.. It will take time, but it is important.

 

I don't think anyone is going to be angry to you about this thread. Sometimes we people need share our pain with others.

 

I'm sorry that I cannot be more help here.

I'm sorry that I'm such a horrible grump and have been grumpy to lots of people over my RP and FFXIV career.

Right, so I just wanted to pop on here again, and extend out a sincere apology to anyone and everyone. I admit, I'm human and I have flaws, and if I have ever done anything, whether knowingly or unknowingly, that might have hurt or incited any negative emotion of any sort in any of you, I'm truly sorry. 

 

I do not want to be on bad terms with any of you, I respect you all and look up to all of you, and I hope that if there has been any issue or conflict, that we can forgive and put it behind us and move on.

You know I have no issues with you smiley marshmallow *hugs*

 

But I hear you. Your last paragraph is...it's truth for me as well.

[Ignacius]

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long.  Almost a year, and for some reason, from the posts I'm seeing, I feel like I'm just dropping into Corpus Christi after a hurricane blew through that I didn't see.  Did I miss something?

[Warren Castille]

Sure, why not.

 

I'm a pretty opinionated person, and I tend to view discussion and debate as a sort of proving grounds for opinions and values. As such, I get pretty heated in trying to make sure I've backed the correct horse. That pretty much means I'm a dick to talk with about conflicting points, and for that I'm sorry.

 

I rarely, if ever, mean any actual hostility. I grew up playing sports and as you can see from the Roast thread, I'm kind of a fan of smug shit-talking. It's just that, though - It's not meant to debase anyone and only exists "on the field" for me. If we run into each other in-game after a nasty argument or something I generally try to ignore what happened elsewhere.

 

So, uh. Sorry for the folks I've offended and pissed off. I don't really mean it.

[Dravus]

I'm sorry if people feel like I brush them off. I'd love to role-play with as many of you as possible but even with a fairly flexible schedule I live in a completely different timezone to the majority of role-players present here.

 

I also greatly enjoy the other aspects of the game so sometimes I'll simply log on for the sake of doing a dungeon, raid or a few rounds of triple triad and then log off again.

[Max]

Sorry Romani for letting the ghosts get you and the cows. I ran outta arrows

[Alothia]

I'm sorry I've been such a flake.

 

There are so many times where I want to RP with people, but then for one reason or another I just don't feel up to it in the moment. I know that being pregnant is really no excuse, but it's been affecting me online as well as IRL. A lot of times I just don't want to do anything. I've basically turned into a bum.

 

And I apologize if ever offended any of you for any reason. I try my darndest to be the kind of person I'd like others to be to me. I know that I sometimes fall short, but I do try.

[g0ne]

Sure, why not.

I want to echo some bits of what Warren said. I don't think anyone means to actually be hostile or to deliberately hurt someone. 

 

But if it happens accidentally, or maybe even on purpose, remember that we too are humans just like you and we have raging emotions as well. 

 

Once again, I'm sure none of us mean it. I'm sure none of us want to be deliberately hostile and mean. I promise I try not to. So, don't hold it against others. Best to talk it out and fix up any misunderstandings.

[Nebbs]

Sorry for all he things I do that annoy people, some I know and some I don't, and even even those that please some annoy others.

 

Also sorry that while I would like to help so many people I am selfish in that I play this game for my enjoyment, so offers that help take time for me to fit in.

 

And finally.. I don't do text, I summarise, and I conceptualise and I visualise. I know those who like specifics and detail will be annoyed by this but we are a bunch of all-sorts. It's my disability and I would not trade it for anything. I am sorry that I sometimes push against this gap rather than walking away.

[SM Nick]

Thank goodness someone made this thread.

 

I'm sorry to everyone in the RPC for acting too impulsive and attention-greedy in the past couple of months. I'm both busy, stressed, and shy and I just wanted to get noticed, and I also took advantage of you artists with your free art, and that screwed me. I am not expecting forgiveness from any of you, as I still cannot forgive myself even though I am trying to change. Even though I cut down my characters to only 1, I still have a long way to go until I can fully forgive myself for my behavior.

[Cynel1]

I like to apologize to RPC in general   for Acting out i was oblivious to what Ive done and it cost me a FC membership and a LS that wont be named here they Probably hate me so i have to forgive myself Learn the mistakes Ive made and move on.  

 

((PS Im glad someone made this Thread this will give me personal clousure  ))

[Aaron]

I'm sorry I'm so goddamn awesome. Lol

 

On a serious note, sorry if I've ever in game or here

 

- Interrupted your rp because I was just running around spamming mudra's or Circlet of Scorn, or OOC chatting with a friend in a populated place. Sometimes I get bored. 

 

- Said something that came off negative, despite me being extremely nice I'm a /very/ blunt and straight up person and if I don't care for a opinion or I feel something is stupid, I flat out say it and won't care. This is not intentionally made to try and what was the word, trigger? Trigger people. Yeah that's not my intention. I just grew up in an environment where being blunt about something could literally save you from a nasty accident that killed a couple of your friends.

 

- Annoyed people. In my early rp days I admit I was /quite/ annoying. This is because I generally used to play mmo just to troll the fuck outta people lol. However I'm glad I stopped that when I joined XIV.

 

Anything else. . . idk. . . sorry I forgot to slap you in the game for some reason . . I can't say hi to everyone >_<

[Knight Kat]

Since leading an FC, I've grown more cold and calculating in some ways. Being a leader of an FC sometimes requires some moderation and hard choices. I have begun to recognize threats and stop them before they start.

 

It also takes up a lot of my time, so friends outside my FC don't get as much attention as I would like to give them.

 

I am sincerely sorry on all accounts mentioned above.

 

I love my FC even if I don't always love being leader of it.

 

To those outside my FC, I've not forgotten you.

[Steel Wolf]

I've been rather aloof of recent in-game. Buggering off without announcement, not really investing in the recent stuff with my FC...

 

...and to be completely frank I'm not sure why. I apologize to..like...everyone. FC, friends, people I'm meetin here.

 

I'm sorry. :c I'll try harder.

[Aris]

I'm sorry I'm slow to reply, or sometimes don't at all.

 

Please know it's nothing personal or something you've done. Talking to people, in person and online, is very challenging for me. I avoid it because of the anxiety and panic I know I will experience. Sometimes I can overcome it and go for it, but then later the anxiety wins again and I retreat. Which then isn't fair on someone who has spoke to me. This is no excuse, but I hope it shows that it isn't your fault.

 

I'm going to try harder from now on to make sure I reply, if someone does get in contact. It's really kind of you to do so and always makes me feel warm and fuzzy, and you deserve the same respect in return.

[Telluride]

There are so many people I haven't spoken to lately, people I have wanted to RP with, catch up with, send a smile to, banter among...

 

I have been putting TONS of time into pve and catching up on RP promises, not to mention working to get my alt caught up for Heavensward, and finally grinding dungeons enough to get some chest pieces I have been craving...

 

But while I have been distracted, I have forgotten no one.

 

Another heartfelt bow goes to the Soliloquy team, since I have not been fighting harder to get a meet up going. Don't give up on me yet!

[Ha'uruh Nunh]

I'm sorry I'm standoffish a lot of the time.  It's not intentional.  I don't people good.

[Olofantur]

I'm sorry i'm such an opinionated ass.

 

To anyone whose had to deal with me in Skype or otherwise.

 

my passion easily gets the better of me, both in game and in life. :frustrated:

[Dat Oni]

I'd like to apologize to the Friends of Momodi LS, where I was known for voicing my opinions a bit too often and generally inciting drama. However bad my situation at home was, it wasn't something that needed dragging into the LS for all to either gawk at or groan about.

 

I've since gotten better and my situation has improved, but man, I have regrets.

[Lyriell]

I'm sorry for generally being so slow to reply to my Skype requests and not showing myself ingame too often lately.

 

Work sure keeps me busy but hopefully once I finished moving to Thailand it will be less stressful.

[Blue]

I am sorry to all the people that my characters have ICly rejected. I do not think your characters are bad, or ugly, or undeserving of love, I just am really shy and very sensitive to sexual topics. To even see people emoting kissing or caresses cause some internal turmoil and panic in me that I prefer to avoid by simply stepping out of that aspect of Roleplaying. It is never something personal to your person or your OOC self. I have told you that I prefer to have romantic relationships form only after years of friendship and hardship, and this so far has always moved you away from me. I want you to know that it was not an excuse to force you to leave me alone, and I really do mean to eventually let my character fall in love. But much as how it works in real life, I feel the necessity of such bond to be formed with someone I have RPed for at least one year. I understand if your timings are different from my own, but please don't think I said it as an excuse to push you away, it is really the truth.

 

And to all those that have reacted negatively and aggressively to me OOC for rejecting them IC, know that I do not hold anything against you. I am aware that romance is important for a lot of people, and I feel bad for not being able to give others what they want (I actually am very paranoid on what people think of me and if I satisfy them), so I do expect these reactions when I fail at delivering what they want from my character. For these reasons, I am not angry to any of you for getting OOCly mad with me. I'll be sad to see you walk away, but that is really it.

 

Again, please, don't take my rejects as an insult to your character, or worse yet your person. I am just not fit for it, and for that reason I have built all my characters in a way to make it very difficult for them to hook up with others (widows, introverts, jerks, sociopaths, too young, too strict, etc.). It's not you, it's me.
