i can't play anything
nah well i just have a v general problem with consistency. but i guess my main problem is i have trouble making happy characters that r just happy bc where's the fun in that; where's the angst; where's the misery
i also can't find it in me to make just REALLY CRUEL characters bc i'd really like that but i just can't do it oops

extroverted people. it took me a long time in life to even realize such a type of person really existed like i thought everyone went home after literally any social interaction and was super exhausted. i couldn't fathom it. i still can't, tbh; it has to entirely be imagination and i fret all the time that i'm misrepresenting the way that extroverted people experience the world. to me it always seems cheesy and far-fetched, like i'm... overdoing it.
this kinda ties in with the second point which is really happy and/or polite people. the blithe sort of wouldn't-hurt-a-fly i-want-everyone-to-be-my-friend guy/girl. how boring are they? it feels like i'm constantly watering down their words, rewriting them over and over and straining any substance out of them. i can play them, it's just exhausting, and i could never stomach them being a main character, for i find i can never take them anywhere. i've played that sort of personality with dire flaws before but without these obvious cop-outs to their usually congenial behaviour they just bore me.
i also find men really hard to play. idk why. i am a guy, i'm fine with being a guy, i just don't enjoy rping them. go figure.

I can't seem to find any fun in roleplaying the good girly girl. I tend to make strong female characters, and not just physical strength. I'm talking confident enough to speak her mind type. I could never do those silent girls that just do as they are told.

Girls, "cute" characters, animals, and for the most part teens. (One time I was criticized for making my teenage character too mature so rip)

All of my characters have always been assholes, usually with commitment issues and some sort of vague drinking problem. go figure that's like me irl
I've tried to write _happy_ people before but it usually doesn't go too well. It just comes off as saccharine and disingenuous. Of course happiness and complexity are not mutually exclusive, but I just tip to the angst side of the spectrum, which probably says something about me as a person :'D

Straight characters.
Females.
Fighting-oriented characters. I just. I can't. YOU WANNA FIGHT A THING, CHARACTER? Sure, but I ain't writin' it.

I've never honestly figured out how to play males, homosexuals, extroverted bouncing-off-the-walls people, and neutral characters that have picked the side of good or the side of evil.

Ditzy female characters... can't do it. Or young cute boy types, like Honey from OHSHC. And opposite of selkie up there, really angsty characters are tough for me to write because I feel like I'm being too dramatic, but I think that stems from a long period of time roleplaying on old PB sites where too many people made angsty teenage self-inserts.
