The fact alone that you continue this escapade, despite all other people leaving is testament to your current emotions. And feeling emotion over somthing you see over the internet is not negative, but it is rather negative to be deriding others form of escapism, while getting angry that their form of escapism exists with no negative effects towards you.

"I don't believe you know me well enough to tell when I'm legitimately mad."

I stand by my previous statement, Dr. Freud. It really is that simple. If you knew me, you'd be able to tell if I'm angry or not.

@Moonbacon I have read quite a few clopfics that weren't self inserts, but I won't deny there are quite a few of them that are especially human on pony stories. I think it is simple, a lot of people like the characters and the universe and want to escape to it and of course a little is understandable so long as it not taken to an unhealthy level.
