Quote:Don't look at it as giving people a chance to reject you. Give us a chance to accept you. And we don't get that chance if you don't put yourself in front of us.
I learned to do this and it's my advice I will give everyone. Can't RP with someone who's not there. I mean, there's a reason why Kage sat on the railing at Quicksand a lot.
It's taken me months and I still need times where everyday I tell myself "Ok just go in there, sit on your railing. Emote. Just... go!"
Early on, Kage was given the best IC advice ever that I've tried to use OOCly as well. "Fake it." Either fake not being shy until it changes or continue to fake it as needed.
