I don't know what else to do but say I'm sorry to you guys. I'm sorry for not keeping up with the countless of threads I've made that I promised I would keep track of and just leaving them to die off instead of staying committed. I'm sorry to those I've been mean to. I'm just sorry for everything.

I can't keep going like this anymore. Life is becoming too much. I've always appreciated you guys, and thanks for all the fun times we've had together. I don't really know what else to say but thanks and sorry.

I'm sorry it turned out like this.
 
I can't say that I think you need to apologize for anything. Forum games are fun, but they're also a commitment. If they feel like more of something you're pressured to do, that can hurt the value of the fun for you as the OP. I think people can understand that, because a lot of us have been in similar situations.

Your standard posts and thoughts on this forum already contribute to the positive and welcoming nature of this community.
 
Hi.

I don't think we've ever really interacted before, but I've seen you around quite a bit. I know you're quite popular around here. I don't think anyone would any sort of grudge against you for not keeping up with threads. This is a web forum for an enthusiast hobby, after all. Pretty much any real-life goings on should take precedent, and pretty much any reason for not keeping up is justified, even if it's as simple as "I don't feel like it."

I saw your post in the Mental Health thread. I don't know you very well nor do I know your situation, so I don't feel qualified to give you advice on what you should or shouldn't do. All I can say is that I've often felt similar to the way you've described. When you feel like the your progress and achievements and the positive things attributed to you are all fake, and you feel like people only remember you for your failures, and that any friendliness shown towards you is either out of societal convention or pity. In the end, negative thoughts like these are our brains playing tricks on us, trying to twist every little thing into the worst possible scenario as a sort of strange defense mechanism.

Again, I'm not qualified to comment your character, but from what I've seen you seem like a genuinely nice person and when people speak of you they always hold you in high esteem. I've genuinely never once seen anyone speak ill of you. The impression you've left here is truly a positive one, and if you were to leave I think this forum would be losing something important.

I think you deserve to feel better than the way you feel now.

Melon Melon , believe me when I say this community loves and values you.

Never ever feel like you've disappointed us in any way shape or form.

Take your time with your life priorities for as long as you want because we will ALWAYS welcome you back with open arms.

We genuinely love and appreciate you, your perfections, your imperfections, everything that makes you who you are.

One more thing
: You are in your early 20's so you're still in that emergent adulthood phase where adults in your age are still discovering who they are. Don't ever feel as if you need to get your life together in your 20's. That is a myth created by boomers such as our parents generation and Papa Papa .

Please please be easy on yourself and please start loving yourself by looking at the positives of your personality and character (start with small steps and don't feel that it's arrogant to love yourself).

PM me if you'd like to speak privately about this because I've been trained and guided by education and academia enough to understand what you're going through.
 
no need to be sorry, life comes first.
your not obligated to do shit and no one here will hold you accountable if you dont do so (no one but yourself, that is).

so don't be sorry. you hurt no one.

and live your life!
 
I know the feeling and I think it's important that we don't give any power to those negative thoughts. Always remember to stay positive. I've been in a better mood lately and I hope you feel better soon too, Melon.

you just dont wanna make it official. its ok daddy.

Can burn out easily if you try to right a ship 100% of the time. Your contribution is good, just don't make it a full time side quest :) hny

Melon Melon , you are beautiful and amazing and loved! Don't for a second feel like you've done anything wrong in any way- You are awesome and don't owe anyone anything. We are just happy to know you. :)

Whatever you are feeling, please disregard any negative thoughts and just know that we care about you and want what is best for you and your happiness. Take it from someone who has always been way too hard on herself- We have to be okay ourselves before we can best care for others.

I'm sending you a big hug and will be keeping you in my prayers...and I hope this year is a wonderful one for you. Much love to you, sweet friend. ❤
