@Mr Allen J: How would you tell between a roleplay you really don't care for and one that's droll for now but you feel will get more interesting?

@Innue: Thanks. Hope you can keep up your excitement as well.

@Nemaisare: I did first say I have never really felt excited, but that's a bit of a half truth in retrospect. There have been a few times I've felt genuine excitement, but it usually fades very quickly. I usually start with a vague interest in the premise of the RP, but it gives way to the day to day drudgery and general disinterest I usually have. I know things have to get like that a bit, and I wouldn't mind at all if it weren't for the fact I see people gushing over some of the most generic things in my view.

Basically, I keep roleplaying in hope I'll find the right place for me, and I started this thread because I wonder if my disinterest is something uncommon or not.

@Genkai: I can sympathise with you there. If things get to a weekly basis, I usually write the RP off altogether. But personally, I've been in long running RPs with a steady pace, and yet found myself completely unengaged. Like, I sit there and watch for months as everyone goes through the motions of banal small talk and such, participating in it as needed. I know if I want more excitement, I should seek it out, but the big problem is that I don't know how to go about it because nothing inspires me. 

It makes me a liability in certain circumstances because I end up sitting around with little idea of what to do with myself, but I just don't know how to make myself excited over what seems like such a lot of nothing.
