I play and RP because I find it fun, that is my most important thing I keep reminding myself, have fun. Emotions or characters feelings IC, OOC, can be a big NO for some people. But most people I talk to say they feel their characters emotions OOC. OOC however I do not act on it. I just enjoy having those feeling whether its of the character in love or feeling depressed for some reason. It lets me see what its like to step into my characters shoes for a moment, and feel what they feel. Just a reminder OOC I wont ahead and be all "My character loves you, so I love you too" it just doesnt work that way and I am just trying to have fun.
I mean I understand people rp and sometimes make connections oocly. Heck I am friends to some degree with my.whole fc oocly.Â
But you very openly say that you are experiencing your character's emotions and that's a sign you need to walk away and get off the game for a bit. Â IC and OOC should never mix. Your character's relationship with this other character and your ooc relationship with the person who plays the character are two different things. Period.
Now if your OOC relationship becomes more than a friendship, great. But it should become that because of things that happen that are unrelated to IC things. Cause if you go after this person feeling 'love' and they have no desire to be anything more than friends ooc, you are setting yourself up for drama that will very likely ruin your friendship and your IC relationship.
If not for the emotional side RPing, I would not RP at all.
