You can meet a bunch of awesome and weird people through roleplaying! For example me! I'm like the weirdest person ever and I love to roleplay. Plus personally roleplaying helps me to escape the hell everyone calls reality, it's nice to sit back type paragraphs of stuff just for the hell of it or a good laugh. You can also learn about some cool things through the people you meet, like the game of Cards against Humanity, I just played and learned about it a little bit ago. So yeah... For me roleplaying is more of a relaxer and destresser then just something you do in your free because why the hell not. I might bet bullied for it and all but I still enjoy it and everything I have learned for it.
