Would you like some wish fulfillment? Ask for it. Spell it out. Do you want a different kind of challenge than your gaming normally centers on? Ask for it. Spell it out. If you are playing with people you can’t trust to respect such desires, take a break from them. You are the only you that you have, and your desires and vulnerabilities need rest time just like the rest of your mind and body. Nobody will give you merit badges for being so macho you grind yourself down. It may be that you’ve got some particular wishes that are so rare among folks you know or so specifically tangled together in particular ways that even people who respect you and would like to help can’t really tune in. Try solo gaming. Try fanfic. Try whatever. Just don’t feel that you have to forever bury desires like for no-drama slices of life or whatever just because they don’t fit the local ethos.</blockquote>
