Shy Dreamer reporting in. xP
Yes, I can relate to the points you mentioned in the starting post of this thread, @LycanDragon.
For me personally, I get social anxiety pretty badly IRL, and just, yeah, I don't really talk much. >.< I'm better online, although I can still sometimes face challenges, such as group chats/chatrooms (ie Discord servers). One-on-one chats however? I can be quite the chatterbox sometimes! xD
There's nothing saying that you have to participate in group Roleplays, or even public Roleplays, heck, you don't even have to Roleplay at all! There are some users who don't Roleplay yet are a part of EcchiDreams, and that is completely fine. Don't feel pressured to do anything that you don't want to do. :3
If you ever want to talk one-on-one, I'd be happy to have a chat with you sometime or maybe even start up a Roleplay with you. ^^
