    No, if they're at home in their native fjords they'll have ceased pining and will be bouncing up and down, singing away happily to themselves.

    They'll have returned from the choir invisible!  They'll **voom** just naturally!

    How to quit SL as graceful as possible?

    Lately I find myself extremely stressed out when login in and I feel I've lost most joy in the 'game'. As a long time resident, it's hard to just quit. I get used to login in and doing whatever it is I do so it's become a pretty bad habit 🤣 Should I just pull the plug? Rip the bandaid in one go? Throw my pc out the window? What do you think?

    What I think is the idea of being stressed-out, coupled with the idea of losing the joy, coupled again with the idea of “doing whatever it is you do” when in-world all combine to form a very confused and sad place to be in, emotionally.  So, doing *something* differently is bound to change that.

    The question is, really, is it SL that’s the problem, and therefore you should walk away from it. Or is SL the thing that used to be keeping your life together but lately has lost some of that glue... in which case doing something differently is, again, bound to change that but maybe it isn’t an act of leaving that’s required. 
     

    If it were me I would be really missing that joyful feeling.  So that’s what I would address.  And I’d make a list of things that bring me joy and ways I can be a joy-bringer.  Stress and monotony tend to evaporate in the presence of joy. 
    What did you used to love to do in SL when there was joy?  When did it stop?  Why did it stop?

    How did you started in SL?

    When I started in 2007 and realized flying was a thing here, I decided to be a vampire.  For a week.  Until I realized it was more romantic to walk through castles and glide my hands over the stone walls.  

    I spent my first month feeling-up castle walls.  

    I’m no longer sure why I stayed lol  but glad I did 🤣

    this was very strange....

    that is very strange ha ha.  i believe in the "if it doesn't belong to you, it isn't yours" idea, which means i don't wander through people's houses in SL just as i don't wander through them in RL.  i find it unbelievable that other people will.

    in any case, when someone wanders through my house, i do send them an IM saying "i did not invite you to my house, so please leave until i do invite you"; and their reaction / response tells me all i need to know about "is this person a potential friend?" or "is this person an alt of someone i do know?" or "is this person innocently lost despite having deliberately climbed two flights of stairs to get to me" or "is this person trying to be annoying" -- and most often they just leave without saying anything.
