Do you use P&P games as a form of escapism?

>>49215928
>escapism
nah. Its just fun.

>>49215928
>>49216082
yes.

sometimes it feels really pathetic that my favorite recreational activity is not being me.

>>49215928
Yes.
While most of the time playing RPGs is just for fun, I can sink into depressive states and my weekly game has been the only effective cure because I can escape to a fantasy world for a few hours and relieve stress.

Maybe, but it's social escapism that does no harm to me financially, physically, or mentally so it's fine.

>>49215928
No, I use it mainly to interact with other people. That's kind of ironic isn't it?

>>49215928
that's a cute creature
where's it from?

>>49215928
>Do you use *insert any interest here* as a form of escapism?

Fuck off with this bait.

That is definitely mixed in.

>>49215928
everything is a form of escapism
do x to avoid y
das life mang

>>49215928
No.

>>49215928
Yes.

Because I'm a slimy pathetic male who yearns to magical realm as a girl. I literally only do it for the fetish, and the same goes for anyone else, whatever they say. I like to picture my shapely bosom, ass and thighs. I like to pretend I can smell my own girl parts and sometimes touch them. I also like the illusion of power that comes from having absolute control over every aspect of my character who is nothing more than a female pawn tailored for my amusement.

There is literally no justifiable narrative reason to play as a female when you are a male IRL. There is no wriggling out of this. Pretending to be a girl for deep-rooted psycho-sexual reasons is all there is. If you can stand up and admit this then you've gone a long way into self-realization and should be commended for your honesty, even though you're as pathetic as I am.

Used to, long ago, but it turned into fun and nowadays my life is great so I'm not trying to escape anything. The fun remains.

>>49215928
Not really, no. I maybe used to when I was an awkward teenager who was shy and a bit of a loner. Now I feel a lot better about myself and I can socialize with people just fine and so I do it for fun.

>>49215928
Yes. I don't really know what else to say. It's how I escape from my empty fucking life.

>>49215928
On some dark days, yes. It's better than taking it out on the bottle. But mostly it's fun, and it's anoyher reason to gather with friends.

Anon, can you relate to any non-family female in a non-sexual way?
>Pretending to be a girl for deep-rooted psycho-sexual reasons is all there is.
I understand that 4chan is a melting pot for sexual deviation, but what you focus on in life, you will empower in your life. Maybe you need to step away from things that are a source of fuel for this fetish. I mean, if you can't interact with women or young girls on a non-sexual level you'll always have this issue. It will cripple certain relationships in the future.

Implying.

It's your life anon, live it however you want. But if you're not happy though, you could get therapy/outside opinion/find a support group/etc.
Just know letting it go on will close doors in your future, however. Changing course isn't impossible.
Good luck m8

>>49215928
Well, duh.

>>49215928

Yeah.

Who here doesn't?

I have SMA Type 2.

Make a wild guess.

>>49215928

I used to. Now I use it as a desperate excuse to get my friends together so I will have some kind of social interaction and I won't feel so alone.

>>49216299

Its a moth. They are like butterflies, but with all of the weaknesses of vampires.

>>49222744

You are too dry, my friend. It is no fun.

>>49215928
Kind of? If by escapism you mean a break from my boring life than yes, if by escapism you mean making some kind of self insert that has done everything right and is super cool, not really, im satisfied with my life and am fullfiling my plans

>>49215928
No, actually.

If you knew me, you'd know thats not the case. But if you're happy, rock on. Brolita is a thing you may want to look into. At least you're not a furry.

>>49215928
Not really. That's why I always get weirded out when people try and get waifus or RP their sexual fetishes. I've never seen RPGs as an outlet for doing things I can't do in real life. Just a game to play or run and a way to exercise my creative chops.

>>49225355
Arguably I think this holds me back from REALLY getting in character sometimes. Its still possible though, just like how an actor completely embodies there part. They aren't doing it because they necessarily want to be that character.

Literally what defines "that guy" as "that guy".

Normies play P&P as an excuse to hang out, joke, eat, and drink. Social time for people who don't give a shit about football.

Implying there aren't things to roleplay which don't involve your character's sex life or involving your personal fetishes.

>>49228268
Wew.

>>49215928
>escapism
Can't you see? It's not healthy!

>>49215928
Yeah. I mean, why the fuck not? Better than some other shit I could be doing.

>>49215928
Only because I like to imagine what it's like to not be mentally ill.

>>49215928
Everyone does to some extent. For people who wish they'd joined the military it's a fun outlet. For people who wish they hadn't joined the military it's a fun outlet.

There might be other kinds of players, but I doubt it.

>>49215928
Absolutely. Worst part is that I'm rarely the player so I have to gain pleasure from being multiple NPCs that show up for a while
