So who else is using RPs to escape the harsh reality called life? I've been addicted because it's the best escapism ever, living an imaginary life in a fantasy world. A world where being gay is okay and I can be whoever I want to be. So yeah, I quit the Tumblr rp I had and now I'm depressed and don't know what else to do with my life. Pathetic and stupid I know, but I just need to vent it all out. EC is the best place I know I can do that.
I used to play WoW to escape. I've played other video games to escape, too, but RPs are the best. Now I don't. Now I don't do anything much... :/
Everyone uses a different medium to escape everyday life. It just depends on what type of medium we use. As long as it's a healthy one, it's fine...
I don't role-play as in chat or text role-play, i do however, play MMOs and MMORPGs, or just RPGs. iv used games, and music as an outlet all my life. since unlike most i almost never went out and for good reasons,plus i never had friends at all, nor do i do now, so I'm used to the idea of outlets like these. but i guess to answer your question, yes there are others that do what you do.
Sure, although video games and podcasts are more my thing. I was never big on RP. When I was a kid I was suuuuper into reading as escapism, I read all the time! But, these days I don't have as much time, heh.
