I actually have a lot of insecurities when it comes to roleplaying. A fact that surprises me because I do not really have any at all outside of said roleplay.
The whole idea behind roleplaying makes me nervous and I often question if it's something that is even for me. When I do actually roleplay I have a million questions and thoughts going threw my head.
Am I doing this right?
Is my character interesting enough?
Am I interrupting this person?
Oh God, they para rp and I'm struggling to think of interesting replies.
"Why have they not answered my /tells for rp the last few days?
Am I boring to them?
Do they not like me OOC?
That person is really popular on the RPC, they'd have no time for me.
*sigh*
Man that list just goes on & on.
These questions usually cause me to re-roll my characters into something that I hope is more interesting. But even doing that has had a real negative effect on my roleplay, of which is a different topic for a different time.
Last night I got to roleplay with 2 people from the forums here. One of which I consider to be a very good OOC friend. And, even roleplaying with her makes me anxious that I will do something dumb or stupid and be looked down upon for it even though I know she'd never do that.
But for some stupid reason, the fear is still there.
Oh man, where did all this honesty come from!?
