I am getting the feeling Gracia may eventually become Clouds clingy not!wife or something.

Norm has approached you three four times, as of my posting this, tonight. You've ignored every one of those attempts. If you do not wish to interact with Norm, you can tell him this specifically, but deciding you don't feel like it every time someone tries to initiate something with you and then saying you have no one to interact with does not leave anyone else but you with the blame.

[up][up][up]Between Coras, Sabé and Jack, we might as well just agree that Norm is Cloud's clingy not!wife.

I don't really know what I can do when approached with something I don't really want to be involved in at the moment.

And then I'm chased down and I get frustrated and entrenched.

I spent a while waiting for some kind of response, so it would have been courteous to just tell me straight away. I know how it gets, no hard feelings if you're not up for a particular interaction, but just make sure I know.

Then you can be frustrated somewhere else that isn't spamming the FG, because friend or not this is getting old.

You are not being "chased down". Someone is trying to interact with you and you are giving them the cold shoulder without bothering to tell them why. You can just tell them "hey I'd rather not be involved in this specific thing" using your words, but then you need to remember that you are choosing not to be involved in a thing, and that means not being involved with it.

This is not a Norm-or-Trip exclusive thing, either. Are you interested in playing this interaction-based game or not? Take a break if you need to, but stop taking it out on everyone here.

I know how much it sucks to get outright refused (hasn't happened recently, but it's happened before) and I'd feel like a dick for ever doing it. I really, really don't like it and even if I did it, I'd still be left without anything to do.

It feels like a lose-lose situation whenever I'm repeatedly approached by something I'm not interested in. Either refuse and feel like a douche or not respond and feel like a douche.

I don't really know. I'm unbelievably stressed out with other, entirely unrelated shit.

Maybe you should just take a break. It seems like this is stressing you out even more. I'd be willing to talk if you like, or maybe you could play a video game or something.

I don't really think it's stressing me out a whole lot.

I mean, yeah, it's pretty obvious I'm frustrated but there's nothing riding on what goes on here. Not like something calamitous (or anything at all) will happen due to anything that happens here.

No, I get stressed out over more important things that I really shouldn't be stressed out about. Like my driving test tomorrow, which has me thoroughly frightened for no discernible reason whatsoever.

Well I already failed once before so.

Well in all honesty I'm somewhat convinced I might not have actually done anything wrong.

Because what I did I'm ~99% sure is actually fine to do.

Compounded with the fact that they didn't actually even write things down correctly the last time.

Y'know, you put the reason down for why someone didn't pass. But they wrote down something that absolutely didn't happen (I was making a right turn and they said I made a left turn) and also put down the streets entirely incorrectly.

So looking back on it, it seems really weird and for whatever reason it's gotten me antsy even though it's not really in my control anyway.

I'm kind of doing something similar right now, with some job stuff. Once you do what you do it's out of your hands and you can't influence the situation further, and it drives you nuts so all you can do is try as hard as you can not to think about it.

I'm gonna be perfectly honest here, this whole situation is one of the actually many reasons I don't FG as much as I used to.

Its really not fun to read the FG and see people try to interact with you and get shot down repeatedly while you complain you have no one to interact with.

The FG is not the place to vent your frustrations, whatever the source. Its a game where we like to relax and pretend we're stupid characters on the internet. Usually after dealing with whatever life decided to throw at us that day.

I can't say much more that hasn't been said. Play the game or don't. Stop spamming the FG with non-posts.

It's things like that that I find very discouraging.

I'm not unaware of people feeling that way (I'm almost certain a decent number of people do), but I don't feel as if there's much I can do to dislodge it. It's hard to change attitudes if nothing happens to change them.

Which is, I know, my own fault. Partially. Or, more honestly, mostly. It's a two way street after all.

I don't think the point I originally intended to make ended up here. The thing is just, bleurgh. Feels bad man.

It's probably too late at night for me to think of things in any competent way.
