anything you wanna get off your chest? questions, rants, etc!:
I love my friends but sometimes one of them needs so much attention and time its kinda draining. Is there any nice way I can tell this to them? :(
Why do you dislike regiments? Im just genuinely curious. You have every right to, as I've been in quite a few with some shitty experiences in them, but not all of them are bad, so I do wonder a little why you hate them. Most of them are generally harmless and a lot of them are pretty friendly if not provoked or if they don't have people within it making the regiment an unsafe space. This isn't an attempt to debate or try to get you to change your mind, as your opinions and feelings on regiments are valid and you deserve to be able to feel however you want to feel about these groups, but, again, I am curious on the matter.

Hi, anon! Thanks for leaving a message and asking some valued questions!!
Firstly, you can just say it outright. Communication like this is important regardless of how it sounds in the end. But if you're looking to really stick to being nice, maybe, like "You're my friend and I appreciate you but I can't talk to you as often as you need." Maybe add on some reasons as to why, be polite and make sure they understand it isn't them. Just that not everybody is suited to fulfilling their exact needs.
Secondly, I've been sitting in/hanging out at docks for a LONG time now, ever since me and my girlfriend met in 2024 and it had been her spot. So, I've seen a lot of shit. Regiments are collections of children who frequently get into inter-server drama or drama with other regiments. These all end up terrible and because these are children, it can have negative early affects when they're exposed to being ostracized or targeted.
Then, there's the adults that also enter these children-dominated spaces which I also find peculiar. Often do I view adults in regi's cuddle-puddling with minors which wouldn't be as questionable if you didn't consider the fact they are in a discord together and both ages have an easy source of connect to the other.
Regiments...
- Take up space and do not consider the boundaries of the people around them. I'm not trying to be pulled into some cuddle or hidden behind people who believe they should have the space just because they're in a big group.
- Have groups imitating armies. Lightly hot topic for me, not as big of a deal. Just utterly silly.
- ARE ANNOYING! Their ads are constant and fill the chat an endless amount, not to mention covering the screen. This has led to me blocking people and being unable to communicate later with people who try to talk to me.
By all means, they can have fun, but I don't have to openly participate in support of it.
Possible Question : "Why don't you move away from docks?" God forbid I don't wanna sit in an area with 3 other people or a dying fandom spot. The moment the arcane ponytown fandom died, I rooted to the spot in docks and don't have any reason to leave.
Have a good day!
