The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Edwardo Piet]

Oh wow Aroura you're one of my favorite people on the whole of AF. I'm sorry to see you go

And I'm going to really miss playing future Mafia games with you

It's sad that you've let the bigoted fuckers like A Theist get to you. I notice he called you a crybaby, well, who gives a fuck what he thinks.

I understand that you can't help how you feel and I fully respect your decision to be leave. I'll always be here to support you if you come back. I'll miss you.

I haven't been as active on AF so recently myself. I'm not as close to some of the people I was close to here before. Sometimes this place doesn't feel the same anymore.

But Mafia is always the same... except without you it won't be the same. I'm really going to miss playing with you Aroura

Be safe and well.

ETA: Oh, Aroura, I saw your post about possibly still saying in Mafia!

Yes, please do! I've actually been planning to basically do the same thing myself. I took a week's break from AF... I've been posting outside of Mafia while the Mafia game is on but I've only really come back to post because of Mafia. I'd be more than happy to pretty much only post in Mafia from now on. I hope to see you there in Mafia in future games! Your presence always makes me smile and you're one of my absolute favorites

And, Yes, Poca is awesome too

I'm done again. I'm in the middle of a mafia game and I don't want to eff it up more for LP, so I'll do my best to play that out, but otherwise I'm done.
I cannot interact on social media, it's still too much. If I open myself up at all, then I end up having my words in someone's sig, taken out of context, or being called a crybaby. I'm thin skinned, something I'm very aware of. I have no RL outlets, and online ones are a mixed bag at best, opening up to the worst of humanity if you want to seek the best. I don't keep friends well because of my anxiety, and my anxiety cannot handle the cruelty of people right now. I'm literally unable to sleep because I feel I singled myself out. I'm soooo stupid, what was I thinking?

I'm tired of seeing the worst of people right now. It's Christmas,  aren't people supposed to be nicer this time of Year? Lol. Seems the opposite is true.
I just think it's best if I cut myself off entirely. I'll answer pms until the mafia game is over, then I need to make a real effort to stop interacting with people online for a while. I'm sorry. People can be real jerks, including me.

Ps, someone please pm me the Christmas  video when it is posted. I'd still like to see it.

Don't go.... stay... we want you playing mafia forever and ever and ever!

Mafia is my favorite part of AF. I feel at home there even when I don't feel welcome to be myself elsewhere on AF sometimes.

You're not stupid. You've very intelligent

If it helps at all, I was very proud of you for making that thread where you opened yourself up. Don't let the fuckers who think little of you bring you down. I know it's easier said than done, I'm having to learn it myself.

I feel welcome in Mafia.
