I thought I was a valuable member of the community but nowadays I get compared to the troublemakers when I struggle to not respond to them... even though I've always been that way. I don't understand it. I'm no different to I've ever been and I feel like most people used to like me here. Now I just feel so worthless and I don't understand it. I don't want to stick around if I'm bad for the community. It's going to be hard to quit though. I'm not going to pretend I'm gonna be successfully quitting. I'll probably struggle to stop posting. I'm gonna try though. And I'm definitely going to play Mafia when my ban ends.
Tired of some of my friends drifting away too. I just thought that internet friendships could be meaningful too. They always were to me. I feel so depressed.
Internet friendships can be meaningful, and often are...I've experienced a few. Quitting AF isn't really going to bring you peace, because you could join another forum, and have the same experience. You have to change how you see yourself, and not view yourself as worthy or not worthy, because of the interactions you're having online. If you want to take a break, no one needs to know that, just take a break. Or post less. Or post a lot. lol I think that you have to adjust how you see yourself, and how much importance you place on how others view you. Once you do that, your experiences here will be better. Just my opinion.
