Esl + autist + paranoid ---> You start forming all sorts of weird ideas about how everyone hates you or anon X hates rep Y, or how anons Z, Ä, and Ö are colluding with each other to undermine rep A. Doesnt make you a bad person or a schizo by itself, that depends on how you react to this perceived issue.
I've mentioned it multiple times how I struggle with distinguishing in-universe posts and in-universe animosity from real OOC hate. I suspect a lot of us have similar issues, namely those anon's who go on about inf-mep drama. I'll admit I'm one of those who are still paranoid over infinity being kicked out or made irrelevant due to pressure from warsuner+mep. I realize this is just my own branch of menhera talking most likely, and for the record i have nothing against mepper or warsuner, and never do I want to have anything against them. I used it just as an example of a situation where i suspect the paranoia of some anons is playing a part.
Sorry mepper and warsuner for this, I intend no ill will with it, and I do not intend to start timeloops. Its just the best recent example of this I can think of.
How to fix this, well, one of the best solutions it to give people the benefit of the doubt. Even those who one would like to label as "schizos". Many of them may just be ESL autists who are paranoid about a project they love being ruined by events they cannot control. Not saying all their actions should be excused, as some of the "schizos" in this thread have done quite reprehensible things, but it would help to try to give them the benefit of the doubt as well.
That, and just airing these grievances and doubts helps. The thread has been far healthier ever since the first airing-of-grievances event, notably the alice timeloops have lowered in numbers by a lot. In general, its not good to let anger or fear or frustration fester inside you as that just lets it take deeper root in your heart, and soon you'll find yourself having strongly emotional responses to very mundane and non-offensive things.
Preferably we'd have more worldbuilding than venting though, but this thread is already past bump limit, its not like it matters anymore.
>>32204603I've lately seen that burning of the bridges happen to a close friend I had. He convinced himself that everyone hated him, burnt all the bridges he could, and dug himself into a bitter hole where he turned into a little ball of hatred that lashed out at anyone extending him a helping hand. Now I've lost him completely, and I miss him greatly. An extreme example, but I wouldnt want that to happen to anyone else, especially you.
