Like Arisen was trying to get you to understand that sometimes behaviors we aren’t aware of in ourselves can play off how others perceive you - with your character, the same could be said for yourself. You came in quite strong with your idea and I am not against working with someone, but you didn’t allow the conversation to happen organically and it did feel like you were forcing other people’s characters to be a certain way to make your character work instead of allowing an organic build. Arisen is passionate about writing and because of your blatant dismissal to some of the things he was sharing, I can understand why he would react in that way. He does have some valid points. You can sympathize with someone, but if you have never had the experience you cannot empathize. To sympathize is to understand. To empathize is to know. And while we all have been excluded in our lives, it’s about the same as saying we all have been sad so everyone has had depression. When they aren’t exactly the same. The kind of exclusion you want to portray has a lot more involved in it much in the way sadness isn’t the same as depression. They aren’t trying to exclude you, but I am telling you why you were perceived in a certain way because I don’t think you are aware of your own behavior. You may come back if you so desire. I did this publicly because I as a GM have decided a long time ago that it is best we be transparent about situations.
