Anyone else feel intimidated by RP?

Post by Xenosandbox » 08 Jan 2017, 23:06

I'm just curious if any regular players feel like they could never make it or they lack the way with words or think that their true meanings would be misconstrued when they try to RP?

I'm an in the moment kinda guy and sometimes things get so wired up I can't think straight mid combat, my two or three notes reflect that.

Tl;dr.
Grammar and sentence structure intimidating you when you RP? Am I the only one?

Sometimes i lack sentence structure while RP'ing, since i'm not a native english speaker. About the rest is pretty much fine, since i always played Table RPG, and had to RP with my friends
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

I try to RP when I can, but I never really try too hard for fear I'll accidentally venture into snowflake territory without realizing it. I do try to behave like my character would, though, and I attempt to balance gameplay and story evenly.

I've been playing RP servers since... Phew, 2012...? Something around that time, it's been a while for me. I've played low medium and high, so me personally no, I'm used to it. I'd recommend playing on some RP servers (Not that many GOOD ones are left) to get more experience if you really want to.

best thing you can do in intense situations is type me "insert random thing here" and see how people react
