1. If someone says that you should edit your character, take the request into consideration. And, if you don't want to, just say that.

2. If you are anxious and panicking, try to do something different or have a different outlook. If you really feel like the CB is making you feel bad and you can't change it, take a short break and see if you feel better. Then, you can decide if you actually want to leave. 

I hope this helps! 

@Some CBer

Okay, just got back so I'm not updated on ROs, so I don't know who you are. But I can DEFINITELY tell you this: don't fret about what Indi said at all. I understand criticism is probably adding to the anxiety you already have, but don't worry, Indigo didn't mean it personally, nor did she think you are a bad writer or anything like that. However harshly you may have taken it, it was not meant as an attack. No, not at all! Writers give each other critique all the time, and here on the CB they do too. It helps us get better as writers. A critique isn't an order either; it's a suggestion you should always take into account, and think: Why would they give me this? What aspects of my writing could I improve, change, or expand to take this criticism. Or if after you think about it, you decide you don't want to change it at all, then that's fine.

That's a very good point about the character sheets. Some RPs I have a long, detailed character sheet. Some role plays I make the judgement that instead I want to start out with a little, the throughout the story, grow and focus on the writing.

Like I said, just think about your writing, and whether or not you want to change anything. It's your writing, your words. 

Take a deep breath in, hold it for a few seconds, then let it out. You're good. A piece of advice is nothing you need to add to your list of troubles. 

I never meant my critique to make you feel bad or make you guilty. We have different writing styles- I try to get to know every nook and crevice of my character with more information than anyone could realistically use, iron out all of the little details and pick through their strengths and weaknesses until I think it's perfect.

I understand that you might feel like I was being harsh with you. Maybe I was, but I wasn't trying too. While I do find it a little bit annoying you tend to use the same character each time, it's your business how you RP- all I was really trying to ask was you kept your character's powers under control- which it turned out you had already planned for, it just hadn't shown up.

Seriously, there's nothing wrong. Critism is not meant to say 'you're a bad writer' but 'hey, try these out, I think you might find them helpful in being even better than you already are'.

If you think taking a break from the CB would help you collect yourself and deal with the anxiety and panic that you're feeling better, you definitely should. I (thankfully) don't usually have to deal with anxiety, but I think you should try to take some more time for yourself so you're not as anxious and streessed out, and talk to your parents and ask them for advice on what to do. I don't know how big of an issue this is for you, so you should really ask your parents. 

Some CBer, I feel you. Don't feel bad one bit, we all lash out at people, get mad or mean. It's part of being a human. It's nothing to feel anxious about. Further more, I would recommend taking a break from CB if it's causing anxiety, everyone will understand, and then you can come back. As for your anxiety, I would recommend talking to your parents. I know it's hard to tell exactly what your anxiety is, and even harder to tell others about it, so if you need some backup, or if you need to know what kind of anxiety your having, can talk to some of the other people here. That might make it easier to talk to your parents if you have some explanations from other CBers. You could also show your parents some of the posts. Anyway, those are just some ideas. Don't hesitate to ask us questions if you have any. Nothing's too big or too small. 

I didn't even look at the thread yet and my answer is already no.

I would never wish for any CBer to leave. Everyone has a few bad times when they're moody or stressed and they lash out at someone, but that doesn't mean they have to leave. So just don't. 

don't leave whoever you are.It's okay if you don't put much on your charrie sheet,it's your charecter right?If you don't agree with what Indigo told you that's okay just try to tell her calmly insteed of being mad at her.When you post on that RP next try devoloping that charecters personality your way.You don't have to post lots of descriptive adgectives one after the other to define your charecter.Just please whoever you are don't leave we all want you to stay.Any CBer lost is super sad,and we like you we want you to stay.

I considered writing a short post--"No." But honestly, I care more than that.

As others have said--if a break will help, then leave. But please, please, please don't leave forever. We love all of the CBers so much, we could never bear having one leave.
