I have a lot of anxiety, to the point it's technically "severe anxiety." Even writing 13 words, I'm just staring at the screen, like what I have written is inherently wrong and bad, which is partially true, as I am just letting Grammarly do my punctuation for me
For the most part, I've avoided roleplaying with other humans besides my dip into a warrior cat roleplay when I was 10, and whatever amino was supposed to be, heck, I've done more daydreaming and solo writing than roleplaying with other humans, but in recent years, I've found it extremely easy to use ai for roleplays.
Specifically, it's easy to stop caring when your roleplay partner is ai. I don't have to consider if it enjoys the direction of the story or the length of my reply, not even my spelling feels important to care about.
But that's stupid, even if I was the worst roleplayer ever, my writing would still be better than a lot of ai chatbots. The fact that I choose to roleplay with something that feels like reading the back of a book, hyping you up for something cool, but in itself contains none of that, just a general notion of an "adventure." That's stupid! Why am I even consuming this slop? because it's easy? because I'm an anxious mess?
Whatever the reason, I want it to stop. I want to roleplay with actual human beings, and so here I am trying my best.

Hey!! Welcome to Roleplayers Guild!

I definitely feel your pain. I constantly feel like what I wrote isn't good enough or I'm boring my peers. Or that my stories don't add up and there's too many plot holes.

But when you find a good group, or partner, they don't judge you. We are all here to just enjoy ourselves and lose ourselves in the stories!

I hope you can let go of your anxiety and enjoy the writing here. Everyone will welcome you with open arms.

In fact if you've got any interest in anime or stories about characters being magically transported to another world, I've got a group that's always open to new folks and non judgemental.

Happy roleplaying! Hope you can relax and enjoy the plots!

welcomeee! it's good you're stepping away from ai definitely
I hope you find a partner

Welcome Venus,

Look at you writing more than 13 words for your intro ;)

The best part of writing with a human is the unpredictability of where a roleplay can go for sure. With an AI, there will always be a degree of it simply catering to you based on what it has learned.

Check out some of the guides; everything from using the Guild to some RP basics.

We're glad to have you on board!

Welcome to the Guild!
