Idk if this is, appropriate for this forum but I, after loosing my friends due to a aggressive break up with them it’s been I think a week and i really want to talk about fictional characters and roleplay stuff and make stories but my deep seeded paranoia is holding me back from actually reaching out
i wanna join something that is online and can text and use voice chat, i know discord is an option but with my now ex friends stalking habits I’m honestly kinda scared of them finding my new account and just ruining any new relationship I make with people
i don’t want anyone bashing on my ex friends btws

hey @Pothuman sorry to hear that you've lost a friend, sounds like you both really bonded over this shared interest in rp and fictional characters. it is tricky when they've got stalking behaviours... would it be possible to block them first on whatever platforms you use so that they can't see your new acc?
if you're using an anonymous name online, would it help to use one that they wouldn't recognise - hopefully it'll be hard for them to confirm your identity? maybe avoiding 'voice' chats for a bit until you feel safe from them finding your acc can help? sorry i'm not too familiar with discord and similar platforms, wish i could help more 💙

yeah I don’t go by my actual name online usually, so that’s not really the issue, it’s kinda more they have memorised my text speaking patterns and I am unable to change it
voice chat is less of an issue due to if I’m in it and they are too they’d have to show their voice and they have a very distinct sounding voice
but yeah thank u

What do you usually do in your spare time? Study? Work @Pothuman ? Do you have others you know who you could hang out with?

I have to clock off now, but I'm interested to hear more about 'roleplaying'. I don't know much about it @Pothuman
