Rayman Pirate-Community

Hey.

I felt like this needed its own topic because i have a LOT to explain and i felt a need to apologize for some things.

Okay first of all: i disapared near the start of jan.. (couple days before my birthday) as i didnt really feel welcome? Im not sure how to put this but some jokes i saw made me uncomfortable, but i cant police a fourm site i dont mod. The jokes i had problems with were mostly making fun of others and some out dated shit, but i wont push yall to stop since you can't really control.

I had an outburst the day i left after a lot of messages made me stress out, which led to said out burst. It didnt happen here, rather in a GC on discord. My friends suggested to stop going here for my mental health.

However the main reason i came back was to apologize to greengoop.

I basically blamed everything on him for no reason, even things he didnt do. I got defensive over basically nothing, and i now realize i misunderstood his own boundaries as i talked about this PUBLICLY in the comments of my yt channel. He apologized to me on my site, However i also feel like i need to apologize to him for not explaining what i was uncomfortable with.

Im sorry GreenGoop. You dont have to forgive me, but i forgive you.

PSA: I still dont know if l'll return fully, also delete/close this topic if its against the rules.

Welcome back.

You don't have to explain your absence. There isn't a participation requirement. You should never feel forced to participate in a community where you don't feel comfortable for whatever reason, but I hope you find it comfortable to stay here.

As I've said many times before - I've always found RPC one of the nicest web communities I've had the chance to participate in. We sometimes underestimate how hard it is to have a community going smoothly with so many different folks from different backgrounds, countries, and age groups! Rayman attracts people of all ages, it seems, and it's a challenge in itself, and one that the community seems to be handling quite well, I'd say!

Sure, sometimes there are edgy or downright silly jokes, but I feel that the absolute majority of interactions is in good faith and good spirits. Very rarely we see people actually try to be mean and/or disruptive and when we do, we try to put a stop to it in a way that itself won't be mean and disruptive.

I believe you and Greengoop can work it out (perhaps you already have). There's room for everyone.

I don't think I could have said it any better! Welcome back Edge, and no worries, we're just glad to have you back.

Welcome back Edge! You are one hundred percent forgiven, even I feel a bit guilty about sharing the comments you made! I’m just really glad to have you back because I missed our day-long chats back in November

Yeah! TBH ive already explained that this was basically all some dumb miscommnication my brain made because it cannot function normally lol. But thanks everyone for welcoming me back!

Are you planning on staying this time, or just popping in for a brief visit?

Im probably gonna stay, as i dont really have any thing else to do in my free time lol. probaly just a little less active since i have school n stuff..

Whew, that’s a relief! Now you’re back, I’ll try to stop “Edging” you with my posts. I kinda instinctively say what I think is the riskiest thing I can say without getting into hot water, I might’ve slightly gone past your boundaries looking back at a few conversations.

Yeah.. but im glad were clearer now! Miscommunication was a big part of this and this wouldve all been avoided if i hadnt DELETED THAT DAMN PM where i explained my boundaries lol. Glad its all solved!

I honestly thought you deleted it because you thought it was a bit too harsh tbh.

I dont remeber why i deleted it, i think it was because i feared the worst? and like... I shouldve just been up front with you cuz now i understand that were just 2 teens on the internet

Seems weird to say, but I’m glad you posted the stuff about your anger at me/this forum because i wouldn’t have reached out to you otherwise!

...

I just realized that i think another reason why you crossing my boundaries caused such a big reaction out of me is because i think i have a pretty severe case of PTSD and even the slightest stress or bad mood is like the end of the world for my brain for no reason... maybe i should work on that..

A PTSD is definitely something that should be worked on, with the right professional. But what do you mean "I think"? A post-traumatic stress disorder is not something to take lightly, and you should not attempt self-diagnosis. Seek medical advice.

Yeah, i have but they do suspect i have PTSD.. so thats why i say i THINK.. they suspect i have it but i havent been dianosed so thats why im sayin that.

My mums a counsellor and she’s currently working on a course which will let her help people with PTSD, just thought that was a bit relevant.

Yeah!

Also i know i keep adding more to this but Goop made a comment back in jan that wasnt even directed at me but it like... hurt? For some reason?? TBH i think every critism is directed at me... *facepalm*

Can you please tell me what the comment was?
