[QUOTE="dreaded_beast, post: 1124234, member: 11185"] How do you know when it's time to quit or at least leave the group you are playing with? I've been toying with the idea of quitting. I find myself leaving a session more often than not, irritated, or at the very worst, pissed off at the group in general, but the other members of the group hardly know that since I keep it in most of the time. This has been going on for quite some time. Sometimes, it doesn't even stem from the game, but from differences in personality and opinion with other members of the group. The differences in personality and playing styles are starting to wear thin on me. I find myself keeping things bottled up inside and unable to talk to others because of fear of a negative reaction. Some members of the group dislike to be criticized or "talked back too". As a result, people in the group hardly, if ever, go up to the person they have a problem with, but instead bitch about that person to someone else in the group and vice-versa. It becomes one big bitching-circle, with the person in question hardly, if ever, hearing what problems someone has with them. So nothing really gets resolved, just bitching and blowing off steam. In addition, everyone in the group has different ideas of what they want out of the game. Some want role-play while others want hack-and-slash. I'm not saying that everyone should think a like, but for myself, it's starting to feel that the differences are preventing me from playing the type of game that I want to play. I feel inhibited in the things that I can do because I feel that I should make sure that everyone in the group is in harmony and I don't want to do things that would upset the others in the group. But then, I see, in my opinion, other members in the group playing the way they want. It feels as if I am sacrificing my fun for the sake of the group and it seems as if the others are not doing the same. Not that they should, but then why should I? It's getting to the point were I am seriously starting to think that the negatives of playing DnD or with this particular group are starting to outweigh the positives. When do you know it's time to call it quits? [/QUOTE]
