Additionally, receiving this as a reply, is one of the hardest things to work with in an RP:

"Okay," she/he/they/*insert pronoun* said.

Finish. Sometimes I don't even get the '*blank* said' part

I hate being online and then not replying to my rps…
Like I stg it's nothing against anybody. It takes a different kind of energy to simply talk than it does to write.

Ye, I get that.

I hate that my sister's better at video games than me >:l

Oh, yeah. I agree.

additionally, i hate when people don't understand that in a roleplay, both people have to work to keep the roleplay going through their respective responses. one of the biggest reasons i have so many old dropped roleplays is people just. saying things but not saying things. you can write all you want, you can give a five paragraph response with great inner dialogue and shit, but if you don't actually do anything then there's nothing to respond to. nothing for the other person's character to do but likewise sit and think because you're not pushing anything

Oh yes, this. There's so many roleplays/character chats where people will just respond with "[character] did X" and that's it. Like, what am I supposed to do? Where do I go from there? But the people who write whole-ass essays that don't give you anything to respond to are just as bad. I'm probably guilty of that, since a lot of my characters tend to have pretty active inner monologues but still.

And a special mention to people who'll say things like "[character] started humming/singing something ~familiar~" just to get attention when other characters are doing their own thing or, like, talking together, because that's annoying as hell.

RPing sounds complicated

It intimidates me. I think I'm slowly getting better at it, but I'm not very good so I don't do it much.

oh it's not really that hard once you understand how to keep the flow. it also helps to have favorite people to roleplay with lmao

It really does. I have some people that I really like role-playing with, and I don't really feel intimidated by any of them.

Haha I have no idea if I'm decent at roleplaying ;-;
I am very guilty at lots of inner dialogue

see inner dialogue is fine and great because it gives a look into a character's mind the way a book would, but the trick really is learning how to also push things along. like having a character ask an important question they were hesitant to ask, and then having them internally panic while verbally being like 'wait actually-'. give them action AND dialogue, and make sure there are openings for other characters to interact

Yeah I do give stuff for the other person(s) to go off on, but a lot of the times I feel like I'm waiting for the other person to try to help move the plot along because I have no idea what should come next.

I HATE it when my friends try to relate to what I'm going through. NO! You do not know what it feels like to become numb! You do not know what it feels like to have your brain slowly shut down on you! You haven't gone through nearly as much emotional shit as I have so stop trying to relate!!!

Ok, valid, but to tail that I hate when people assume no one else could possibly hold as much or more emotional trauma than themselves. This isn't like an attack on you, bc I get that people can be fake, but there is a flip side sometimes and you just reminded me. No one holds a monopoly on mental damage or messed up emotions and the notion that some people might is the reason others keep spiraling.

It's just annoying because they are the most mentally stable and perfect people on the planet. The three of them are varsity level athletes who are all so attractive and perfect. They have straight As and have so many other friends than me. I only have the three of them and they have like dozens of other friends. It just gets on my nerves because a lot of the time they use mental health as jokes like "welp I'm feeling depressed because of math so I'm gonna go jump off a bridge" but as much as I remind them, I don't think that they get my terrible state of mental health and whenever they joke about it just hurts I guess. LIke you would never joke about having cancer in front of a cancer patient. They just don't understand and think I'm overreacting I guess.

Yeah, that sounds like a different situation than what I mean. I'm sorry about that man.

I also hate the fact that I feel like a charity case.

I get that but you can't tell the state of someone's mental health by them being pretty and having good grades and other friends.

I know that it's just… I don't know. They're all so successful at such a young age and I just feel _{inferior I guess.} I just… They're just… I love them and they're amazing friends and stuff but they seem so stable and stuff. I really don't know. They have it all going for them, and I just have a bunch of stuff going against me.

I hate Wretched Radio. I've heard some of the most fear-mongering, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, religious brainwash from that show. The ideas presented are toxic and just wrong and my parents are willingly putting it in their head.

I hate how when I wake up, my throat's just kinda like "fuck you".

its probably just my fragile self esteem but i hate it when my friends put me down even if it's supposed to be a joke

SAME

and it's worse when they make fun of the only things that give u confidence

Felt. Just, what do I do now? What do I say? Am I supposed to laugh too?

I absolutely hate it when people insult my intelligence. That is literally the only thing I have ever prided myself on don't you dare talk bad about it.

For me its my humor. I feel like a narcissist when I say this but I think I'm pretty funny and it's my only good quality so when people say I'm not funny it kinda hits hard. Like today, I sent this tiktok to my friend that's like which minecraft youtuber you are are and I had tommy and my friends was like yeah except your not funny.
