My biggest uncertainty and insecurity would have to be worrying about stepping on people's OOC boundaries.
I tend to create character with the idea of creating a person with a fresh persona and have them react to stimulus in game as a real person would. Â That means I've a tendancy to react without thought of how it impacts others.
I used to simply not care, because IC was IC, and that was that. Â However for some reason these days I worry a lot. Â It may be because I've had to mediate too many situations where IC and OOC have spilled over through the years.
It's odd, because the OOC discussing over things that may cross boundaries to feel out where someone wants to go with a scene feels a bit like attempting to pre-determine / force an outcome. Â You know.. metagaming the situation.
I'm not talking even things like ERP, dark RP, or injuring someone else's character. Â But it's simple things like putting someone on the spot or into a situation that forces them out of their normal RP style and the like.
It's kind of odd, because there's very little RP wise that crossed my boundaries that I can't just fade a scene to black.
