Aw man, I'm right there with you, Oroban! XD
1. I never take advantage of finding walk-up RPers because I don't want them to think I'm too forward...by walking up and attempting to RP with them. Not even getting into my many, many weird characters and quirks and interests--just walking up and saying anything strikes me as too invasive to attempt.
Similarly, 2., I rarely respond in-character to anything in game because my main Miqo'te is...kind of an idiot...and I'm quite self-conscious about people thinking that of ME before they realize it's just him.Â
3. I would hunt all day for someone open to ERP, because I am confident in my abilities to stay classy and hold someone's attention with articulate and well-written smutty plot, but when it comes down to it, poor writing is a huge turnoff, and it appears my standards are too high. Still, I search...*wistful sigh*
4. Perhaps the worst of all--right now I just search and stalk in-character Tumblr pages looking for people who want RP partners, and I never, not once, have asked any of them for a chance. (Even though they look like they enjoy the same styles and themes as I do!)
Sounds like crippling shyness is the major failing of a lot of us here. You're all welcome to come bother me! Let's all stop being shy now. XD
