Are *narrations* here to stay?

Not entirely sure narrations is the right word to use, but I'm going with it.

Have they always been a part of the forums? Is it a fad that will pass?

*Willy sits here slightly unamused*

Do I need to get used to them or will they pass like dabbing?

While Glowupdoll didn’t disapprove of the third person singular, it did feel like a threesome that might have happened but didn’t.

They've been around since Internet forums have been a thing. They get a bit tedious if over-used.

In my defence, I’ve always done this from the early days, and it comes from my college days of drama/performing arts. I’m from writing, scripts a little bit of stage direction. So when texting came around on mobiles. It’s how we expressed somethings to friends. It’s just what we did.

One of my favourite narrations was by Greedy Thump many years back during a juicy thread, where he *sits in the corner furtively munching on popcorn, eyes darting to and fro*

Or something along those lines.

They don’t work for me - people who talk in third person constantly.

If that’s how they find entertainment or think they are funny then so be it.

But they also aren’t the type of people who we are looking to meet anyway so I can easily bypass the comment/thread.

It's just a glorified and fancy talking in third person.

In fact, talking in third person is a trait associated with (but not a defining trait) narcissists.

To me, it signifies an action, like *passes Kai a shovel to keep digging*

It's nothing to do with talking in the 3rd person. Mrs KC would never do that!

They're not for saying the words you can type. Everyone knows who is "saying" what, because the typed words appear under their username. The star thingies are to denote physical actions/movement that we can't see through the typed word or use of emojis.

That's not the only explanation for illeism. I've been reading about it recently a little bit. Sometimes it's for detachment purposes, could be a tool for people with self esteem issues to not stress about the situation so much. As if it wasn't about them.
