Taking a step back & Raising Hate in LaDS
I had a long conversation a few days ago with someone, who made me realize that I need to step back from the game.
Love and Deepspace has been my obsession for the past months, almost a year. I have a deeply understanding of the lore, characterization of Sylus, I write, post, reblog, engage with people online, fantasies, daydream.... My brain has been for while 24/7 Love and Deepspace.
So I'm going to be pure honest here, bc maybe this helps you too to take a step back and reconnect with reality.
Having a hobby and little hyperfixation isn't wrong. But like every stuff, the measure of this behavior needs to stay healthy. In the same way, you can't exercise until you body fails, stop eating because you want to lose wait or smoke a whole box of cigarettes, games shouldn't consume your whole free time.
If the game is starting to affect your sleeping schedule, producing you anxiety bc of the FOMO, is interfering with your capacity of concentrating in other important things in your life: relationship, work, studies or whatever... YOU NEED TO STOP.
Delete the app for a few days and check in with yourself:
Can I be one day without playing?
Can I stop spending money on the game?
Do I feel distressed if I can't log in?
Ask you friends/family how are they perceiving your behavior.
Hate and psychotic behavior is raising in this community and I think it has deep connection about the unhealthy attachment to the game, along with insecurities and other issues.
I don't want to lose my freedom and ability of enjoying more stuff in my life because of Love and Deepspace. I want to enjoy this for a long time, and this means to take a step back.
Sylus said it: You're always be free to do whatever you want when you're with me.
So I take it as reminder of going out and forget about him for a few days.
The people who has started to attack each other, to spread hate, bully content creators like Lexytv are the worst player. You don't own any character, infact the not even real. Again THEY ARE PIXEL. You're not better for loving Sylus or Caleb harder then other do. So again: when was the last time you had a break of the game?
Yes, you can love them. Yes, you can be super excited. Yes, you can share your joy with others...
But NO you can't bully people. NO you can't just attack people bc they don't have the same opinion like you. NO you can't be racist, homophobic or just a disgusting person because internet give you the freedom to do it.
This is not a competition of who is crazier then the other. If you don't have any good thing to say, shut up!
For me taking a step back means to slow down, to take the game easy. To enjoy everyday life and come back to the game, to this blog. Of course, I will keep writing but one a slower pace then usually. Like I said, I want to enjoy this and that's mean to have healthy relationships with it.
Hope this inspires you to slow down, sent this to someone you know who could take break.
