That's mostly it. I've been stuck on role-playing since then. I've been on/off within the recent years, and I usually feel self-conscious about it because English isn't my first language. But, it's a good way to improve on your writing skills and learn to better yourself.
I usually like to brainstorm about lore, my character's lore, making complicated characters if able. I'm still kinda rustyÂÂ but I hope to get better.
For me it started around the same reason.. well, more or less the same. I started on forum based RolePlay which Theme I can't remember. It was all in English which made me struggle very much (I'm native Portuguese and my English skills back then were worse than now) and since my English would look "funny", I got bullied there and moved to one where I could write in Portuguese.

That forum was a Naruto RP forum hosted on forumeiros, and it started really bad as my writing skills weren't good. I would write without descriptions and if I did they used to be short and didn't cover anything like surroundings nor the other player character. I would also add emotes to my character dialogues instead of describing them, sounding something like [Weiss: "This is a good coffee :3"]. Little by little my writing skills started to improve and before I was able to notice it, around 3 or 4 years had passed since I joined in.
It has been a while since the forum closed and one day, after beating heavenward, I got curious about trying RP on FFXIV and despite being quite different than a forum based RP It's something I don't regret at all doing.
I like to check Lore, both for my character concept as well as for the lore as a whole.
