I know this is a really weird question, but do you have any advice as to how to better separate muse&#8217;s emotion from mun&#8217;s? Like, my muse is a super jealous idiot, and I really hate that I too get all hot in the face and stressed out whenever my muse is. We&#8217;ve always been super connected, but it&#8217;s to the point where I get too stressed to deal with daily life.

Assess what is happening and calm yourself down. remind yourself that you are not upset, but your character is. Not you. This isn\u2019t always easy when you\u2019re in the mindset of your character when you\u2019re writing, but you need to remind yourself they are the one\u2019s upset, not you.<\/li>\n<li><b>Take a break.<\/b> If you feel that it\u2019s stressing you out in your daily life, take a break. Maintaining your health is really important. Even if it\u2019s just for a day or so, take some time to yourself while you sort these feelings out.<\/li>\n<li><b>Write it out and catch yourself.<\/b> After your break, I suggest getting some prompts. Some nice, gritty, grab-your-heart, super emotional prompts. One\u2019s that will make your character angry, uncomfortable, upset, etc. Then write it. When you notice yourself getting angry, or upset yourself\u2013stop! Assess your feelings and then bring yourself out of the situation. Your character is upset, not you. Remind yourself that your emotions and the way you feel about the current situation are not inclusive.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you\u2019re able to catch yourself before you get overly upset\/stressed, eventually you\u2019ll be able to manage it better. This takes practice and isn\u2019t something that will happen over night, but know this isn\u2019t a rare thing and happens a lot.<\/p>\n<p>But the most important thing is to take care of yourself. If you\u2019re stressed out due to roleplay right now, take a break.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>fuckyeahroleplayadvice: This isn\u2019t a weird question at all and is something that can happen pretty often to roleplayers.
