Help Me Plz

[Surrealizm]

Okay so I've been on massive for a little over a year, and I've had like a lot of chars idk how many. Anyways, I'm trying to find like my niche, or group that I fit with and I've been a struggling to really, get into one of my chars for a while. I'm trying to branch out and get involved in different communities but most just don't really appeal to me, not because of the people, they're all really nice! I just mean like the race and stuff. Anyways, if y'all have any suggestions about how I can stop being a little bipolar child who can't decide what race I should do and help me possibly decide because at this point I have to many chars.

Get involved in a family. Maybe find a unique idea for a character online. I'd be happy to help you think up some character designs. I also make skins, so I can help you with that, too.

On the note of having too many characters, I frequently come up with character concepts that I think are interesting, but end up usually not being fleshed out, because I jump from one concept to another without actually sticking with and developing a character. This may not be the issue you are facing, and if so you can just skip this, but I find that it helps if someone else creates a guideline for the character, be it someone else, or the random character generator buried somewhere in the forums that I'll try to find. When you have that concept that is out of your control, it allows you to focus more on the actual details of the character, rather than just creating 2D concepts. Also, just sticking to one character for a time, rather than having several at once can help to actually get immersed into the role you are trying to take on.

As for trying to find a group, I'm not the best at introducing myself to other in rp, but sometimes just talking to the first person you see can open up all sorts of opportunities. You could also have a look in the RP-related sections of the forums, because there are tonnes of families and guilds you can join.

I'm sorry if this isn't at all useful for you, I'm just trying to procrastinate doing the pots.

Thank you @RejectedNerd74 that is actually what I do, I think of a thing that'd be cool and play it for a couple of days before just like throwing it out and trying something new again

I know the feeling, I've wasted so much time thinking up character concepts that I think I'll play, and then by the time I've got everything ready to play, I throw out the character and make a new one. I guess for me, it takes more effort to play a character than it does to create one, but when I force myself to play as a character, even if it isn't as interesting as whatever concept I have in my head, I tend to actually come to like the character and the experiences I share with said character. I don't know if a similar method would work for you, but it's worth a shot, because the payoff of actually going out and roleplaying is much greater than thinking about what you want your character to be.

I'll try that! Usually when I find myself having fun, it's when I force myself to do it tbh
