anonymously confess something to me.

i’m not sure if you meant this as being jealous of duplicates of your muse, but—

oh man, i can relate to this so well, anon. there have been several instances where i’ve abandoned accounts completely because i couldn’t handle seeing so many duplicates of my muse (for instance, i used to be really active in the frozen fandom, but— so many annas.)

but then, i also have to remind myself that i’m here for me and i roleplay these characters because i connect with them. the thing you have to remember, anon, is roleplaying isn’t a competition. and we all feel jealous of another roleplayer at times; whether they’re a duplicate of your muse or just someone who happens to be really popular. and if they are a duplicate of your muse, then i’m sure they go through the same thing – maybe even think the same about you. 

there was a post i came across not too long ago that basically advised that instead of stewing in jealousy and feeling inadequate, embrace your duplicates. brainstorm together, talk about how awesome the character is, because i mean, you both picked it for a reason, right?

but yeah, i totally get being jealous of other roleplayers. it’s not easy and it makes it difficult to log in sometimes, but you just have to keep reminding yourself why you’re there.

(and alternatively, if it really bothers you that much— there’s always the option to block them.)
