Ashlyn Voir Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I’m avoided in SL and SL Flickr. And, I feel outed and alone and it would be nice to have some friends that won’t judge me for any misdeeds I’ve said or done in my past. I’ve had people take pictures with me and delete them because they don’t want to be associated with my avatar or me as an individual. I’m just trying to move on past it and finally make some friends who want to get to know me. I have a lot of interests and I enjoy talking about many things. I promise I can be a good friend. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now everyone wants to know what you did... But, better go ahead, search for new friends, dont tell anyone about the past, and try to avoid it happening again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackSinned Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The nice thing about SL is that if you really want a fresh start, you can do just that. Create a new account, a new avie, and you can start all over. Let bygones be bygones. I just did the same myself. Not to hide from my past, but I returned after a couple of years and had no real attachment to my old avie or any friends still left playing. Takes 10 minutes to setup and your ready to go! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, being me, I Googled your avatar's name. Being forthright in opinions and standing firm and fast in them can alienate people. Real life or Second Life. (I am guilty of being honest and forthright too, and am like Marmite). Anything said on the internet, remains on the internet and is associated with your name unless/until you get it erased. Muck sticks, as they say. Fortunately, in Second Life, it really is easy to begin all over again, if your intentions are true. Create a brand new avatar, begin your new Second Life, and perhaps learn to be more tactful, think for longer before clicking "send". It's easy to be cynical, wise to be wary, but better still to give others the benefit of the doubt and focus on the good in them. If you chase butterflies, rather than wasps, you won't get so badly stung. (And if you can read this without wanting to smack me in the chops, then well done - you really are ready to move on, minus your reputation.)

Cindy Evanier Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I say start afresh too. Avoid your old hangouts and people. Complete fresh start. You don't have to tell anyone anything from your past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Yep, you can do a fresh start. If you stick with your current account, you'll need to purge your friends list and start anew. Whether this account or a new one, you should avoid all of your old normal hangouts. And definitely don't tell new people that you have a past that they might judge you on - this will make them question what you did in that past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are some of your interests? What do you think about Game of Thrones? A - Best shoe evah! B - Not worth watching since Jason Mamoa's character died. C - I never heard of that game. Is it on PS4? Describe yourself as a sandwich. If you were going to tell the story of your life, would it be a movie, a book or a graphic novel? Maybe something different like a Broadway play? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely cheese and piccalilli - a bit stinky with an acidic edge. Well, some of the time anyway. Other times I am a sugar butty (far tooooo sweeet).

All I’m asking for is to just make a friend on the game and I’m so sick and tired of being like the one person always trying to stop that from happening because they keep bringing up my past in order to prevent anyone from getting to ask me about it first or at least get some clarification of anything. And it’s sickening. And every hobby or community I’ve wanted to rejoin or join is ruined by people like this who won’t ecen bother trying to give me a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlyn Voir Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 That’s all I’m asking for is just a friend. Seriously. I hate constantly being outed and it’s just truly hurtful. And I’ve tried EVERYTHING I could to change and I’m STILL being followed around just to prevent me from doing much of anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
