So...I braved the chatterbox on Gaia's forums last night. I was astonished when my thread got so many replies but then it quickly became overwhelming as I realised I couldn't reply to everyone.
I think I'm not supposed to reply to everyone's comments. Just read and/or tip them. cat_razz Since if everyone replied to my replies, it would have been too much to keep up with, lol. I learned an important lesson last night.
I actually went there because I wanted to converse with people due to being bored and lonely lately. But you can't really have a proper conversation simultaneously with that many people. Still, I'm grateful to every one that posted on my thread. I think maybe I'm more comfortable commenting on other people's, though.
I've been searching for ways to make more platinum as well. I used to have a good amount saved up. I just wish I could talk to my friends here in a forum or guild somewhere so we can all generate more plat for ourselves while we enjoy socialising. Or that my rps moved a little bit faster perhaps.
I've got some characters in the works for the Last Sanctuary rp in the neighbourhood but it's taking me longer than usual to complete their profiles and flesh them out. I guess, even if I'm disappointed if some of my rps die, I can always go write short stories from the ideas instead. It'll still be fun. I need to clear my schedule of rps to get ready for making my b/c shop. I mean, if I don't work towards it, it won't happen.
I do wish my art skills were good already. I want to improve. I just don't know where to start. I need to lean about highlights, shading, effects, tips and tricks...I suppose trying to draw my OCs and favourite characters could be a place to start. I feel like it's too late because of my age. But if I never try, I won't get better. I know I'd love to make people happy by drawing their characters. Especially in my dream shop.
Today, I don't have to go anywhere but tomorrow I'm going with my support worker to hand resumes out to local businesses again. I'm really looking for another reliable admin position that I can manage with my mental and physical health issues. 2-3 days a week permanent part time. I know I can handle that. And retail isn't ideal. Even in tiny shops. But I've been applying for some of those too. My social anxiety and chronic fatigue get in the way there.
Anyway, I made one potentially new friend last night on here. And he started to PM me. I deleted all the people who never talk or interact with me in any way and haven't for a long time. Some in years. There was one person who idk why she started ignoring me. She was so nice to begin with. But all my messages and posts were ignored for a long time. So...there's no point having fake friends, you know?
Anyway, today's plans are to try and get some rp posts done. Or even work on my Liquid Life fanfiction to finish it so I can share it in my pregnancy rp guild. Everyone who used to be on there either left Gaia or went to Discord. I'm thinking of trying to revive it but...we'll see. Idk if I can handle any more rps as it is now with 10 of them...but some of them might be dead. Since people haven't replied and I'm not sure if they are still interested. I gotta work on finishing my characters and working out the ages of an OC and her large family.
I wish the games on Gaia could be remade. I really would love to do a jigsaw puzzle or fish or play the matching game to earn some plat without necessarily having to fight my anxiety to talk to people I don't know. It's scary and a little stressful but it's nice and fun when you meet kind people who share similar interests. I really hope I can make more new friends here. Friends who'll stick around and rp and chat with me.
