Finish the sentence, ideally with examples that have actually happened to you. Saw one of these threads on another forum, and some of the results were pretty fantastic.

You know you have an RP Problem when...

Your original characters have conversations in your head.

You've approached a real-life situation by thinking "What would [my character] do?"

You've stayed up to an ungodly hour waiting for someone to post. Or, alternatively, have set your alarm for the middle of the night in order to check for new posts.

You know you have an RP problem when you treat other roleplayers the same way your character treats their characters.

You know you have a RP problem when...

You reference a joke made in an RP to your RL friends who don't RP, and they have no idea what you're talking about.

You ditch homework to RP instead.

You know you have an RP Problem when you've lost sleep over thinking about how your characters were going to react in certain situations in the RP.

You know you have an RP problem when you give *reaction* to every *action* and expect the other person to give *reaction to your reaction* as well.

You narrate your life in past tense, third person.

When you make excuses to "use the bathroom" at work so you can check if anyone posted

You know you have an RP problem when you spend at least an hour explaining the concept of a certain RP to a friend who has no idea what RPing even is.

When you persuade yourself that adding "just one more roleplay" won't be a problem when you find an interesting roleplay.

This can be really problematic depending on what character you play. Jeez.

... When your roleplay is dropped and you feel like you have to explain to your character why you can't write him anymore.

Ditto to all of these. Yes, all of them.

Additionally,

When you load IC threads on your laptop browser before you leave home in the morning, so that when you get to school, where you know you won't have access to wi-fi or any other means of access to the site, you will still have the threads to look at, so that you can write responses in a word document and post them when you get home.

You know you have RP problems when roleplayerguild.com is not the only roleplaying forum you join... and not the only roleplaying forum you're active at.

You know you have RP problems when drive as slow as possible on dirt roads so you have more time to contemplate and plan your next post before you have to work.

You know you have an RP problem when you understand the underlying frustration contained in the sentence, "No, it's not THAT kind of Role play."

You know you have an RP problem, if you identify with any of the "you know you have an RP problem" statements on this thread, including this one but excluding any of the outrageously unrelatable ones.

You know you have an RP problem when you watch/read any other story and can't help but compare them to role plays you are in.
