RP insecurities

[twinlionfists]

Dearest Player-san,

I-I understand that you are feeling a little insecure in trying to capture...my voice. However, you have been told by those you interact with that they enjoy the times we talk to one another.

You have not received any bad words about it, have you?

I believe that your friends are the types to share that sort of information with you.

[Hinata is trying her best not to sound too insecure herself.]

Are you...are you unhappy with me? Is there something that I can do to assist you?

P-please let me know if that may change. I greatly enjoy the time that I spend with my friends there.

Th-thank you for listening to me.

It's better to just not sweat the small stuff and enjoy yourself. That's what it's all about!

[twinlionfists]

I...agree, but sometimes it is the smaller things that build up and make something minor much bigger.

[caster_blaster]

Hobbies help with stress relief, too. Me, I take potshots at beer bottles and such. Though I guess not everyone likes shooting things as much as I do.

In any case, everyone goes through periods of doubt. Heck, my player is a total sad-sack most of the time. You wouldn't believe how often I gotta' cheer the guy up.

[twinlionfists]

The problem is that this is supposed to be a hobby for her, but sometimes it gets to be a little stressful without any assistance.

I last recommended that she take a break and it seemed to do her some good. H-however, that was a while ago.

[caster_blaster]

Well, I'm sure you'll both pull through alright. If it takes another breather, that's fine. If not, then that's fine too. There's not really a "right" answer, since everybody is a little different. Least that's how I see it.

[twinlionfists]

Th-thank you for your assistance. I will attempt to persuade her to think of herself before she allows something that is supposed to be fun make her upset.

you told me to

[sharingone]

If something is wrong, do something about it to change things yourself instead of relying on them.

eh, Butt-face isn't as bad as he thinks he is.

[twinlionfists]

Sasuke-kun!

[Well, there's a face she didn't expect to see during something like this.]

I...I am attempting to help her feel better about portraying me. She feels as if she is not doing that very well.

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee is showing up with a bouquet.]

Hinata-san! These are "good job" flowers! Gai-Sensei has said that they symbolize a job well done! They are for both yourself and your mundane!

[twinlionfists]

[Flowers... From Lee-san... O-oh.]

Thank you very much, Lee-san. Your kind words, and those of your player, mean a lot to the both of us.

[niceguypose]

You are most welcome! I am just glad to be able to brighten your day.

[twinlionfists]

How can one be sad when Lee-san is there?

[niceguypose]

Ah... Perhaps I have let the other person down, or offended them in some way...

[twinlionfists]

If there is such a person, I have yet to meet them. Lee-san has always been kind to me and for that I am extremely grateful.

[aburame]

Your voice seems to retain the same clarity as ever.

What you say holds truth; your mun should trust others to speak honestly if they have a problem.

[twinlionfists]

[Oh, Shino-kun! Boy, has she missed you! And Kiba-kun too.]

Th-thank you, Shino-kun. It is good to hear that from you of all people.

[Because then it must be true.]

She hopes that they would do so, but she also fears that they would never be comfortable enough to tell her if there was something the matter.

[aburame]

They should not feel hesitant to voice such concerns. Why? Because your player is both open and accommodating. The only reason why one would think twice is to avoid misinterpretation and subsequent hurt feelings.

To endure is becoming of a shinobi. [He inclines his head slightly.] But at times it is necessary to speak freely and induce change. [This also applies to finally confronting certain orange ninjas.]

[twinlionfists]

I have tried to explain as much to my player. She is...she wishes to believe it, but she is having difficultly believing in herself.

Something that I can understand.

[Never going to confront him. Nope. He already knew how she felt, right?]

[aburame]

Doubt is something that we all encounter at one point. Although I am certain she has people who do their best to encourage her, some responsibility lies with her to find confidence in herself too. [He's not berating her, and never does anyway. He knows they all hold her in high esteem, if only Hinata felt the same.]

In any case... how are you, Hinata?

[Yes, but. Naruto is a moron. A loveable moron, but a moron no less.]

[twinlionfists]

Y-yes, that is true. She has many people who tell her that she is doing her best to portray me well. And she believes that they are honest. It is just sometimes that she has insecurities.

[She knows that Shino-kun would never be mean to her. He is the best of teammates.]

I am well, otherwise, Shino-kun. Kiba-kun has left the enclosure, but I am not allowing myself time to miss either of you.

[Still not talking to him about that again. Nope.]

[lookingforhead]

I'm sure she's just worried about dragging you into something you don't want to do. My mun worries about that too.

But sometimes we do need to reach out of our comfort zones a bit to meet people.

[And sadly most games don't have the internet for her to chat with them through.]

[twinlionfists]

[A stranger! Oh... Well, she can do this. She's been doing this for the last seven months, right?]

She is more worried about upsetting those around her with any mistakes. I...have yet to find a mistake, but that does not stop her from worrying.

[lookingforhead]

Your friends look like they're saying you two are working together well, so you can probably trust them. At least our muns worry about this though. It means they care.

no matter what sort of trouble they keep putting us in.

[What was that?]

Nothing.

[twinlionfists]

Yes, I have good friends. I am lucky to have them. And my player is always trying to improve. Of that I cannot complain.

She doesn't torture me... too much.

[It's true. I'm a cruel person to her sometimes, but not a lot.]

[deadlydango]

Look kid, you really need to tell that player of yours to stop worrying so much.

I mean hell, mine isn't completely clueless about you anymore, and he's thinking everything's fine. That should say something, right?

[twinlionfists]

Anko-sensei! Please tell your player that we both appreciate his support. We enjoy playing with him very much.

[no_dreams_for_you]

...Interesting. [He muses quietly.] You seem to share that trait with your mun.

You should trust in your friends and allies. They will assist in your endeavor as well.

[twinlionfists]

G-gaara-sama. [Awk-ward... They don't really talk, you know.]

I have faith in my friends and allies. I know that they would tell me if there is something wrong. However...insecurity has nothing to do with those outside myself.

[therealme]

Doubt is such a difficult thing to shake off, isn't it?

[twinlionfists]

[She's not sure who this is. She's never met him before.

Has she?]

Y-yes, it can be.

[screw_fate]

I understand your mun's concern. However, there doesn't appear to be any reason for concern; you're fine.

[twinlionfists]

Thank you very much, Neji-niisan. It is a relief to hear that from you, of all people.

[For obvious reasons.]

[floralogy]

You know, I think all muns have that same kind of problem. [Shakes her head in amusement.] But like what I always tell mine, just chill. You're doing fine. At least, that's something my mun and I agree on.

[twinlionfists]

Yes, I understand that insecurity is a common concern for the players. And I thank you, and your player, for your reassurance. That is a great comfort.
