Role players please DO NOT do this!

To all of you. I fully understood that it was an option to ask them to stop. I'm not that naïve. But my anxiety makes that hard. I kept having worries about making things awkward and/or ruining THEIR experience if I did so. Which is what stopped me. I cant role play with randoms, because again, I have bad anxiety. The point of me even making this thread was to hopefully get anyone who had thoughts of doing this to not do so in the first place. My point was never 'should I have asked them to stop?'

But the situation you described is such a rare occurrence. I've been playing for nearly a year and have not come across anything like this before.
I understand you're anxious, but you have no issue in explaining yourself on the forums so what's stopping you from saying something when you're in that situation? There's nothing wrong with being anxious but realistically, you're talking to people online and if anyone reacts negatively towards you; just blacklist them - you have tools at your fingertips for your own comfort.

That is because you are from EU, NA is a whole different community and way more openminded and social than EU players. I can say this because I have played 4 years on NA and almost 4 years on EU. The mentality on EU is very quiet whereas NA it is very interactive during dungeon runs. I miss it tbh.
