I might just be old and set in my ways but frankly, if my character (X) has already RP’d extensively with your character (Y) then I don’t want X meeting your alt (Z). I don’t want to have to split my brain to remember which alt of yours knows what about my character, thank you.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@Pavel This might be a M* culture thing.
It was very common on Pern games for all my alts to know (and probably plow) all your alts.

I could not decide whether to put this on the “good things in MUSHing” thread or this one…
I’m peeved that I’m excited to see my family again after a long time apart! But that they’re coming right when I am lining up RPz that I want to have and now have to wait.
So, basically, I’m mad that good things are happening in real life and MUSHing.

It isn’t, but sometimes it’s just true. There’s a point where how someone takes something you’ve said becomes their problem, not yours.

Okay, but have you ever been in a situation where saying “I’m sorry you feel that way [because this is your problem]” has improved the quarrel you’re in?

Yes. Not necessarily immediately, but I’ve found it especially helpful in contexts where one has previously felt compelled to apologise to maintain relationship harmony, even though it begins to diminish oneself. “I’m sorry you feel that way, but I stand by what I said” is the usual formula.

Yeah, I’ve definitely been in scenarios where the other person was behaving really out of bounds and lashing out at me. I don’t typically like to say “I’m sorry you feel that way, but…” because I do think it’s often used inappropriately.
But sometimes I am sorry a person feels that way because I care for them as a person and them being in distresss sucks BUT I’m also beyond a point where I’m going capitulate to someone who is being unreasonable with me.

I work in customer service. There are times when I have exhausted all my resources, my customer still feels like we came up short, and I am genuinely sorry they still feel that way.
So here is my pro-tip for telling someone you’re sorry they feel that way: Pair it when an empathy statement.
“I’m sorry you’re still upset that your roll went so badly. I’ve had times when it felt like my dice were cursed, too, but they are just RNG.”
“I’m sorry you feel like the Mean Girls won’t let you in the story. I know how it feels to want to break in and feel like the doors are closed. Let’s brainstorm…”
“I remember being disappointed when I wanted to play a Pokemon on a game about psychic humans, too. I’m sorry you feel our character guidelines are too strict. If you really have your heart set on a Pokemon, this probably isn’t the game for you.”
