99% of my plurk friends are from games.

A smaller percentage of those will engage with you on anything other than games though

So I should just... add people from my games? I mean, I'm finally on a proper schedule and I'm trying to dm people for rp so plurk could be a much easier option. I just rarely came online because until... two weeks ago I had, what? 15 people total on here? and now it's 21, not a lot more.

I just... I have my circle on discord, reddit and even tumblr/xhitter, but here I'm just Bad at social interactions, I guess? ahah. And I want to improve since I think I can finally be more active?

Same. Most of my friends are from CR from games, while a very small percentage are from cool people I met at or friends of friends that we vibed in multiple plurks.

But I understand what you mean about it being hard to break into friendships here in DW.

It's just... strange? Then again I don't have a lot of free time with my line of work so I guess it's also my fault for not being... socially good enough, so to speak?

and rp wise my last two months have been inconsistent at best, which is something I want to change, but it's also difficult to reach at the moment?

I don't think you aren't socially good enough. I know I've been rejected many times by those I decided to write with in wanting to add them on here or discord. There are people who just want to write without wanting to make friendships, too.

and I also feel like that even if I WAS back in LJ (before a long break) and when we moved to DW, we... there are a lot of unsaid stuff?

I've had two people pushing me to the side because I interacted with a person I don't even speak with anymore? Which was... very high school level? I get their comfort matters but it was surprising? I don't follow anoncomms and most of the drama, I just try to skip over it, so- I'm rarely in touch with how things currently are?

And nah, I'm really bad socially speaking. I just want to write and chill and I do admit I like to make friends, but also... idk, I find DW confusing, maybe I outgrew it? Or maybe the fact that I work a lot is not making it for me in the cards to... well, be around

For example, I have two sunny rpers in my life and with both of them we make plans, handwave things and especially discuss the media? Because I find it lovely that when I can't write, I can at least talk about it? I do the same with jude. And I have a little omori gang on discord too where we chat about stuff in general, it feels more... lively?

Here I feel like I constantly make mistakes no matter what

aaa- sorry, I'm probaly sounding like a drag now.

I guess I just have to try harder?

No, no, no. You don't sound like a drag. Not at all. You are allowed to express yourself in your own space. It's okay. You are not wrong. People don't talk about how they really feel until they choose the nuclear option, which I don't blame them for. I believe I'm creating your own space, but I'd like to know what I've done to get a DNI.

This may be a hot take but I feel like Plurk is not where you make new friends often. It's where you collect the friends you made

Like you wouldn't go adding mutuals on facebook and then starting a conversation with them to become friends with them

That makes sense, yes. I guess I need to reach more for people in general even if there's anxietry.I sure need to work more on my online presence in DW/Plurk and reach more

It is difficult for a number of reasons but yeah, I think just being present and returning enthusiasm is a good start!

Mhm! It's a bit difficult since I often miss things due to work obligations, but I can start with that and reaching out for others, both rp wise and ooc wise

ike, I have a lot of communities where I'mdoing more than fine but it was

ike walzting in and joining the fun

heck if I'm not getting involved more and more with the omori community's projects and stuff (which I shouldn't with my limited time)

I just need to start applying this energty here

There's also the sad truth about the fact that...Plurk is mainly used by DWRPers and they are just...very fickle individuals. "Friendships" only last so long, and if you don't share a game or a cast, people remove you and move on very quickly

Lasting friendships in the DWRP space are extremely rare

Mmh that makes sense, yeah

Also most RPer's are quite old and like, if they wanted.had room to expand their friend circle a lot they probably would have by now. The curse of getting older.

I guess I'm old and extroverted? ahah....

but yeah I do get that curse

Hehehe, happens sometimes!

I've been going out to late night events and you do meet some cool people. Just a bit rough when most of them are like, 18-20 And I'm sure they're very cool but oof

oh, irl I have... like. FAR too much company. and online too. I don't struggle to make friends.

I tink the only thing stopping me right now is that I live literally in the middle of nowhere

also.... I feel a bit awkward around people who are too young if it's in those late night events? I feel like people gather to flirt, mostly, or that was my experience

Depends on the event! You can find stuff with a different vibe but it takes some knowing and looking around.
