Mmm, for me, it feels like half and half. I've met some amazing people who I'm know friends with, but I also still RP.
Although my interest in RPing isn't as strong anymore, I still RP lol. But, I get the way you're feeling!
Haha, yes, sometimes. Usually on weekends, when I have free time, I roleplay until I get sleepy ^^". It just feels like I want to get as much as I can done before I get too busy.
I was about 11 when I started to roleplay on Quotev. This'll sound weird but I stayed because I enjoyed the interactions between characters and the actions. As a kid, I never had too many friends who would stay by my side so it was nice to meet people who had similar interests as I did.,,
