[quote=Kidd]Yeah, I agree. Though it doesn't generally come up with a lot of my friends because I'm just not interested in talking about it with people who just don't get it? I think a majority of my friends know I role play, but talking to them about it is probably the biggest waste of breath, lol. So for a lot of people it might not be "I'm worried about getting judged." It could be "this is a hobby that isn't fun to talk to people about who don't do it." And I think that goes for most hobbies and interests: you can really only have in depth an engaging conversations about them with people who get it. Case and point: sports go over my head so my friends who like them don't talk about it with me. And they shouldn't because I won't be able to follow so I won't care and it'd be so one sided. Only time this is an exception is when someone seems interested in trying it out themselves, at least for me.[/quote]

Oh I get that completely, sometimes it's just not relevant or no mutual interest.

Maybe it's just the people I've been exposed to, because normally when I see someone go "I don't tell people I RP" they don't mean it in a "It's just not relevant" manner like you mean but they mean it in a "If I say so, people will think I'm weird. And make fun of people! I can't let the outside world now! It will end me!" sort of way.

[quote=Rica]Then again I've been roleplaying since my Habbo/Yahoo! chat days when I was just a kid so it's nothing new to them at this point.[/quote]

Which habbo? 
If it was Habbo.ca I might have ran into you, I was known as Uzamaki.
I had a reputation for pissing off the heads of both the Naruto and Star Wars RP communities. :hehe
