new tag
I've added a tag to my LJ - xdrumrboi.livejournal.com/tag/safe+place -which I intend to use when I rant angrily. Nothing in those posts should really be taken at complete face value; it's just my metaphorical "safe place" to vent. Loudly. And all over the place. While I'll no doubt say horrible things - I already have, in fact - it's nothing personal against the people mentioned in the posts. It's just helpful to me to able to give voice to my brain-hemorrhaging fury before I try to have a calm, rational conversation about it.
That being said.
I'm getting really, really, REALLY tired of hearing, "Sorry man, I don't remember that conversation." Seriously, is this a problem other people have? I had to do major rewrites to BOTH of my character backstories because of that. I could go on, but I don't want to be whiny. I want to fix it.
When I rant and rave, all the communication issues seem to abruptly evaporate. It's amazing. And terribly sad. Do I not rate casual attention unless I'm hopping up and down and throwing feces? Do I need to make flash cards with nudie pictures on them, and hand them out as rewards when people remember something I say? Do I give candy and cookies?
It's socially unacceptable to say "I want attention!" Somehow, this morphed into it being socially acceptable to criticize people who express hurt feelings over being ignored.
Someone, please, talk me out of dropping out of the game.
