Hello, I seem to be unpopular on WP as well. I wouldn't mind too much - I'm plenty used to being ignored - except that I keep trying to ask for help with my depression and self-harm in The Haven, and I've had to flat-out say something about how I could really use some help multiple times to get any replies, which only makes me feel worse. I probably seem to complain a lot, but that's because this is really the only place I can, and I know I also tend to perseverate on things. It feels like only maybe two people care at all that I'm really struggling.
As for in person, I have what I call social invisibility. That is, it seems people see me (enough not to run into me or anything, at least), but they don't mentally acknowledge my presence. If I'm lucky, I may get a passing greeting, but that's it - immediately afterward, it's as if I don't exist. If I try to join a conversation, often people will just wait until I'm done and then go back to talking as if I hadn't said anything (if I'm lucky - most of the rest of the time, they talk over me before I'm even finished, and my voice isn't loud enough to be heard over them). People will even have very personal, private conversations with their very close friends when I'm right next to them, as if they forget that I'm there (many people in high school and college were lucky that I'd never even consider gossiping, even if I had anyone to tell things to - which I didn't).

I can relate to social invisibility, my high school was pretty much that, sometimes people forgot I was even in the classroom! I ask for advice and get nothing that really helps. In dungeons n dragons I'm master ninja because I can assassinate someone in public and people will still not notice me!
Want to be friends DnD. I never had a chance to play D&D, what was your experience like?(Well I did play a game similar with my brother but all he really likes to do is create characters and fight, which to me gets stale really fast. I like exploring, story, and character development.)

Sure, I'll be your friend
I haven't played Dungeons and Dragons or anything similar, but I think I'd enjoy it. I love to role-play and come up with stories on my own, and I think it would be more fun if I had someone to do it with. My brother helped me create a character for Pathfinder a few months ago, but we didn't end up actually playing before he went back to college, two hours away. My username is just what my two main obsessions were at the time I joined - it's a coincidence that it also happens to be D&D.

My avatar for this site is actually one of my characters. He is the prince of Atlantis
on my brothers world(I hate that he changed the name from Oceania to Atlantis, Atlantis is so cliche! Oceania might be too but Atlantis is everywhere! Though I think his entire world is full of cliche's, which makes it very boring, and most of the things in it don't make sense.) He is also the co-leader of a base called Twilight Hearts.Anyway, what's the name of the character that you made in Pathfinder?

If I came up with a name, I don't remember it - I always have trouble thinking of names. She's a half-elf sorcerer with dragon blood, and will get dragon-related powers later, I think. I don't remember what other details I decided on - it should be recorded on an app my brother has (or maybe it's a Web site, I don't know - he just handed me his phone and told me how to do it), though, so I won't have to do it again.

I had a feeling the character was going to be a dragon, dragon-human, or have dragon blood inside of them! Any particular type(s) of story you like to make for your characters.(Thriller, exciting, comedic.)

I just tried to find the "search user" function to make sure of someone's username to say something nice about them in the appropriate topic here, and it said "No friends online, no friends offline."
Which made me laugh. Seems about right.

Wow, even the internet is a douchebag! Who knew computers that were programmed to only do certain things were so mean!
To D&D I like thinking up fantasy stories as well, I can't really work with sci-fi(not really tech savvy for it.)never tried horror. My hand writing is whack and I have a hard time filling in between the important parts of stories which is why I think not write. I guess they don't let you create a dragon because then said person would be WAY too overpowered! High HP, ATK, Armour. Decent magic(your breath has to hurt.) only thing you couldn't beat would be a ghost!

^Thank you Butterfly!
I intend to be the most unpopular person of all, thus securing my place at the pinnacle of unpopularity.

You do what you can with it, is what I reckon. Get to talking with whoever you want to as much as is reasonable, talk to plenty of people as you want to. There's no rush.

Tbh, I don't place a lot of importance on being "in touch" socially. It's hard enough to stay "in touch" with reality!
