User blog comment:Alfa Wolf/Why the Conflict?/@comment-4522737-20120430180905

Coming from the side of the moody roleplayer, things need to be seen on both sides of the fence. I'm going to use myself for an example.

I have been in ONE roleplaying clan since I joined last July in a depression from my cheating, emotionally abusive boyfriend who igored me all sumer. Being on line all the time got me attached to not only my characher but to the POC I was in, Ardougne. Four months later, this sounds silly, but I was so addicted to the game and roleplaying 24/7 that I had been chosen by the clan to become the new IC and OOC leader. And I did, I stepped up and continued to ignore my life which only made things worse. So I was mad, depressed, and emotionally attached to the POC and my character like nothing else and honestly in the end I became a bitch to EVERYONE. Even my friends. Everyone knows how it ended, but if you put yourself in the shoes of the other person understanding them is much easier.

It doesn't make anyone in my equation right or wrong, it just makes us human. We have conflict and issues that will never be unavoidable but we can be a little nicer when we face the conflict. That's my bit I guess.
