When you have been roleplaying for a long time, and I mean like over 5+ years you notice small things about roleplaying that you would not necessarily call "bad" but it could be considered a bad thing to be that vulnerable to a person. For example, let's say I roleplay with a person and and our characters fall in love and while our characters ARE NOT US AND COULD NOT BE. I watch their relationship grow and wonder if this could be a deeper part of the person that I am roleplaying with somehow? Either some of their insecurities, their deep emotions or feelings that are easily spread out through characters. I think through roleplaying you get to know a person on a deeper level without asking the questions.
Yes, I know that IC =/= OOC and our characters are NOT real but are none of your characters a sliver of your personality or reflection of yourself? I have a calculating, dark-hearted villain who has a lot of issues with control. While I have control, I do have parts of me that is very hard-hearted and there are tropes of characters I have issues playing without a deeper meaning I can relate to. I have a hard time relating to "Genki Girl" trope. I'm not saying we are all just playing our insecurities and such, but I think we are all a part of our characters in a way and by roleplaying with a person you can see that PART of that character that belongs to the player(this only works if you are friends with them though.)
Does any feel the same way?
