The way that a lot of people broke down different RPing 'styles' (from an OOC/IC meshing perspective) in these communities was to classify it as one of three things: Social, Persona and Strict.Â

I do like these definitions. It's odd trying to blend answers to other people's definitions as there are so many ways to describe the many styles of play. I guess by this set I prefer strict personally but persona seems to be the way to go in this day and age.

I think one of the biggest challenges for RPers like me is trying to be less "reactive". I can't speak for anyone else, but when I started RPing, I was under the impression that the only thing I can control is my character. I still have trouble coordinating with other players to help me tell a story about myself, or emote-ing NPCs to drive my story forward.
I have so many hesitations on this myself. I feel I have agency over my own creations. I have issues with bending lore or declaring NPC actions It's difficult for me to push past that, especially when interacting with those I'm unfamiliar with.
