I think other RPers are also essential in helping others, old and new recognize that the bleed is happening. We can blame the one bleeding because it is easy to place that blame on them but I think helping them realize that it is in fact happening is an issue. As someone who does suffer from it quite a bit it's hard to just take it when someone goes "respect the ic/ooc boundary" when I don't even realize that it is happening and is causing issues.
It takes deep reflection to see it when you are the one causing it because you don't even realize it.
