There is a good lack of people that spend their time working/thriving to make a living. Most of people I see around are going to a party of having a drink at the local pub. WHEN DO YOU MAKE ALL THAT MONEY YOU'RE SPENDING!?
For once, I'd like to hear someone ICly complaining about the upcoming bills/taxes and not knowing how to make up for it. The Sheriff of Eorzeangham will come at your door too one day.
I feel the whole opposite of that. Most of RP characters I interact with are overly friendly and tend to share TMI/open up/trust a stranger waaaay too easily. I think this is mostly due to the OOC knowledge that nothing bad can possibly happen to their character without their consent, and also OOC wish to hook up/make connections easily and asap. I'm obsessed with realism and try to keep my interactions with a RL-related mind, so I tend to distrust strangers/people who walk up to me until given reason not to, but I understand why not many would go with this method in RP.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
