Okay, look, I get that you don’t want to be involved with anything higher up, but did you consider that maybe I have something I want to discuss with you besides that shit? For example, I have a legitimate kind of problem/not-problem. I am not from here. Hell, my past life doesn’t even exist here. Not in stories, not in movies, not in anything. Just please for the love of god just at least answer me this once. I am not from here, and you’re one of the only people I know who I know can relate.
derrezzion said to fromfiction:I was created. I was written. I was a program. If you need a point of reference, look at Tron: Legacy. I came from a world like that. Digital life. I figuratively tore my hair out for months trying to figure that out. My name, who I was, where I came from, WHEN I came from. And when I finally figured all that out, I fucking cried like a sad child. I’m not able to go back home. You’re one of the only people I know who not only knows what that’s like, but you were also digital once.
I’m sorry for this incessant spam, but… I just don’t want to be alone. And I know you know what that’s like also. I just want to have a decent conversation with someone who I know gets me. If you can point me to someone, I’ll leave you alone forever.Just, please say something back. I’ll leave you alone now.
This is the fourth time that that this person has attempted to guilt and emotionally manipulate me into a relationship with them, as if they were somehow *owed* it.
We initially spoke on skype and their behavior and manner was immediately alarming and made me feel unsafe, so I removed myself from the conversation quietly. I am not good at establishing boundaries, so I simply stopped replying.
Since then they have made repeated, aggressive, manipulative attempts to re-establish contact with me, as if paying attention to them was somehow my obligation. It is not. Their behavior in response to my departure has validated my initial fears that were the reason I removed myself in the first place.
I speak as a victim of child abuse when I say that using guilt and coercion to try to force someone to spend time with you or pay attention to you are abusive tactics. People who try to guilt and force you into interacting with them are people that you want to avoid.
I will address the points from their latest message, and that hopefully will be my final interaction with them.

Whether or not you wanted to talk to me about something else, the fact is that you need to respect my decision not to be involved with you. You pressured me, upon our initial meeting, with no other relationship, to confide in your all of my troubles and rely on you as a crutch. You repeated this pressure even after I initially refused to talk to you again.
Additionally, yes, I was uncomfortable with the fact that five minutes into our first and only conversation you revealed to me that you shared a body with ‘the entity known as the Christian god’, and advised me not to examine your aura because you believed it would be ‘too powerful’. You then proceeded to tell me that this God had given you amazing hypnosis and healing powers.
When you asked why I had broken off contact, I claimed it was because I didn’t want to be in contact with anyone directly involved with a god. This was a lie. The truth is I am fine with divinities and the people who call on them.
What I found alarming were your claims of phenomenal power to ‘control’ and ‘heal’ minds. People who claim to have amazing magical powers over others are often the type of people who try to exercise power over others, which you have proven yourself to be, after the fact. Your claims at healing minds spoke to me of an inherently manipulative personality, which has proven to be true.
Those who actually wield such powers are much more cautious of divulging them; I find those who speak of great power are the ones who want to be known as powerful.
Hell, my past life doesn’t even exist here. Not in stories, not in movies, not in anything.
Then you are not fictionkin, so I don’t see why you are seeking companionship from me specifically.
You’re one of the only people I know who not only knows what that’s like, but you were also digital once.
I was never ‘digital’ as you say. I believe you are confused. I was a human child who entered a digital world and interacted with digital beings. I have never been a program myself.
I just don’t want to be alone. And I know you know what that’s like also. I just want to have a decent conversation with someone who I know gets me. If you can point me to someone, I’ll leave you alone forever.
You, and your emotional well being are not my responsibility or anyone else’.
