I guess a lot has happened for me too. I got my driver's licence and graduated from university, but I haven't found a job yet and I'm dreading any interviews I may have to take to get one. The news in America has also thrown a spanner in the works of my plans to move there to be with my partner, we're now considering moving him here instead. I'm still living with my dad and (abusive) mum, so that's been pretty stressful, I can't afford therapy without a job and there don't seem to be any psychologists left that accept the healthcare plans that used to make it completely free. I try to keep to myself and be aware of my own needs but it often doesn't seem like I'm allowed to take care of myself when living with my parents, due to the demands they make on my time and energy. I had a good Halloween though, got to hand out candy for the first time ever, hoping one day I'll even be able to go trick-or-treating! I am looking forward to a few things as the end of the year approaches, my sister is coming to visit for a bit, and I get to see my partner at the end of the year. Even though flying makes me terribly nervous and I think my anxiety has been getting worse.

Do you ever get a profound sense that everything in your life has happened before? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I've experienced the same thing. I miss it sometimes.

I know they don't do it out of malice. I even sent them the meme as well. They're (mostly) a good group, but it would be nice if they roleplayed in character more. I think a few of them are pretty new players though, which probably affects that.

I don't often self-insert. This character is probably the most self-insert I've done in the 10 years I've been playing D&D and most of that is incidental (him being raised in a theocratic city was really just because the addition made his story more fun). The gender thing would just be nice, and it's a pretty minor aspect of what your character is, I would think. Besides, I think there's always going to be aspects of the player that leak into the character, even if you don't start off that way, it's the nature of the game.
