Is it normal for a 30-year-old man to role-play online?

[Anonymous]

writes a blog on the internet and plays a different character. he just animates his imaginary world on the internet. is this a normal thing? Could he have psychological problems?

Lmao, he has a hobby and you think it's a mental illness?

Lady, do this good man a favour and get thee back from him.

I'm 31 and have played tabletop roleplaying games since university. My friends - in our 20s-30s - have been playing for years.

If anything, I've found TTRPGs beneficial for my mental health. It's social activity with friends, it's creative, it's fun, and we get to explore themes and ideas we don't get to in real life (e. g. violent revolutions, fantasy benders with hilarious consequences, and fucking wicked battles).

I say again.

Get thee back from him.

Let him have his fun and find another RPer to date. You're not enough fun for this man.

Thanks for your super kind comment.

I didn't say he have "mental problem". Since he plays multiple characters, I asked if it was a psychological problem. Why is it so embarrassing for you to want to learn something? Questioning is perfectly normal, you should have learned this by the age of 30.

You literally asked if he has "psychological problems".

You're projecting a lot and I think you mean your words for yourself, not for me.

Take a chance to reevaluate yourself, you clearly need it.

I'm just helping out a fellow bro. I don't know what your issue is.

I would apply that standard that's the standard between drug use and drug abuse. If it negatively affects himself and others, that's when it becomes a problem. Otherwise, it's just a hobby.

It's one of those things that could be perfectly normal or something more... hard to say.

Not really many people do GTA roleplay sometimes being someone different distracts you from your own life I don't do GTA roleplay but I understand
