hey guys. idk if this is tmi but it drives me crazy and I just want to enjoy role playing. some advice might help a lot
I've always struggled with getting into character... it feels to me like I try too hard to make a "good" character and don't let them develop themselves. Like I have a vision for them but have a hard time bringing it to life the way I envision. Dialogue is hard and I feel like I overword/overthink posts sometimes. Also I super critique myself and feel like my characters rarely make meaningful connections with other characters.
How do I get past this, especially the extreme self-criticism? I feel like I'm constantly judged on my writing skills/characterization (which is silly...). I love writing and want to have fun with rp, but more often than not it just becomes stressful. If anyone has advice it is greatly appreciated.
