I am thinking of trying to RP as well and have never done it before. I've seen in the threads here that there seem to be a lot of different types of RP's and I'm a little bit afraid to try. What if I'm not good at it? What if I don't like it? I wouldn't want to leave someone hanging if I found out I didn't like it. As far as battling I'm soooo not a competitive type person so I'm not sure I'd be good at that kind of thing. Not to mention I don't know much about weapons and such. This stuff all makes it scary for me to try. Plus I am very, very shy and socially awkward. So not sure if RPing is something I can get comfortable with. But the advice people have given here seems like good advice and everyone seems so helpful. :)
