So I've been 'RP'ing in-game since around late 2005, and there's a problem I have that keeps popping up. I get deathly anxious trying to walk up to someone, in-game, and start any sort of conversation. I sorta just keep myself at a distance for half an hour to an hour, trying to work up the courage to go'n type something, and then run off somewhere secluded.
It's rather troubling since every so often, I get the hang of it again, but then go for long dry spells and come back to being a total wuss. I have trouble getting my foot back in the door again.
