desolateknight: roleplayerscoffeeshop: I find myself scared to reply to open starters and ask memes because I don’t want to be one of ‘those’ role players that reply to EVERYTHING and annoy the other mun. //♥—Okay, I honestly wasn’t going to say anything and just continue scrolling but let me tell you a thing, roleplayers because I’m in that mood for a rant. People who reblog ask memes and post open roleplay starters are practically inviting you to interact with them because they crave the interaction and usually the muns are very friendly and non threatening as most of you assume that they are. The reason everyone joins the roleplay community is because they want to make a few or many friends and roleplay all sorts of scenarios. I’m sure the lot of you have joined the roleplay community for that exact reason too. However, if you allow yourself to think that every person behind the computer screen is scary, you’re not allowing yourself to make anymore friends than the ones you probably already know from elsewhere and are comfortable around with. Yes, stepping out of the comfort zone and actually talking to people is rather scary but in the end, the person behind the computer screen is a normal, cute and dorky human being like yourself. Personally, I reply to everything or at least force myself to because there is no way one can get themselves out there if they don’t interact with more people or the ones that they admire. Besides, if you don’t bring yourself respond to the open roleplays and reblog memes, you’re not going to be able to get far in the roleplay community. That’s what I think. Plus, not responding to the open rps and memes make the mun feel rather lonely and then they start to think they’re not worth anyone’s time to even receive asks or any responses. And usually they’re the ones that respond to whatever or even send memes to everyone. There is no need to be afraid of the mun. There is no need to feel like you’re annoying them because you’re really not. Just saying. -- source link
