So, I feel like a few things need to be stated/reminded for those that forgot
I have been Roleplaying for over half my life, make of that what you will. With that experience, I have seen countless things. I may lose some followers, or I may not, but it still needs to be said)

1a- Canon characters will always be more popular than OC's. Yes, it sucks if you're an OC but this is what we gotta accept. You could have an OC that you've spend months crafting to have only 80 followers a month in, only to make a canon character who gets 100 in a week.
1b- Does that mean you should judge your character as bad because of that? Hell no. You made this character, be proud of that and don't try to compete with other people
2a- People who draw their characters "good" will always be more popular than those who draw their "bad" or don't draw at all. This can make an OC more popular than a canon character and a canon character in an unreachable area. Especially when other followers have a chance to
have their characters drawn by interacting with them
2b- Should you give up or think your drawings suck? Fuck no. That's your style, and you're doing great. Don't compare yourself. If you want to improve, improve on your scale, not someone else's and enjoy what you can do

3a- There will always be the cliques. There's a group of RPers that you really like and want to join in, but no matter what you do, you can't get anything going. But this new OC or Canon character got in because they can draw or just happen to be what one member wanted.
3b- Unfortunately that's just how it is. People form groups of friends, having a good time, and someone is trying to butt in, that's the feeling they have. Don't take it personally, if they don't interact with you, move on. Don't depend on this group even if they're everywhere.
4a- Some people will just not like you. It could be your character, the way you type, how you interact, anything.
4b- Don't worry about it. You can't make everyone happy, you can't be everyone's friend. Don't let what they think or say upset you.
5a- There will always be a RP partner issue. Someone might get super clingy to your character and be upset you rp with someone else, they would get super clingy with you as a person. They will randomly disappear for no reason.
5b- There are just people like that and there's no helping it, look out for your own safety and well being is all I can offer. As for a disappearing partner, hope. Hope that they're okay and that they'll eventually return. It's all you can do at that point
6a- Getting obbsessed with RP. This is not a "this thread is so good, I gotta respond right away", in a "I have to respond to everything, even though I'm exhausted and have nothing to go on and I'm losing sleep". When roleplaying becomes a job, not a hobby
6b- You have so much fun and you don't want to have other people wait on you. And you keep going out of your way to respond. That is not healthy for you. This is something to have fun with, if you are not enjoying yourself, then you're doing it for the wrong reason.
These are just things I've seen over the months I've been here. We're here to have fun you guys. Yes, we all have our problems, anxiety, and other things that hamper us. But I promise you that if you have fun and enjoy yourself, everything will get better, honest))
