me creating an OC five years ago i have to make this character as different from myself as i can, or they'll be self-insert mary sue trash. they have to be my complete polar opposite. i will have no idea how to characterize them, but they must not share any traits with me whatsoever

me creating an OC now and YOU get my social anxiety, and YOU get my fear of intimacy, and YOU get my inability to admit when i've made a mistake, and YOU are basically just me in a hat,
