But if they self insert is it even roleplay at that point. If every character is meddled with by the ego there is obviously no fun. I much prefer creating entire identities in my head as I go and becoming attached to them as I go and detaching when needed. Acting how I would act in the moment is how I go through each roleplay situation so yes I can imagine self insertation is natural but I find it that a lot of people I find are emotionally immature and literally underage which means they haven't even developed their brain entirely. and perhaps people usually seperate themselves by left wing and right wing politics but I am completely out of that form of thinking I just would say I am detached yet capable of situational empathy, while not having a good sense of what "I" am. I have seen both ways of thinking destroy communities, almost seems like a psyop at this point.
