You can literally re-spec and redesign your character at any point. There's no point to wasting your time picking the perfect aesthetic if you can simply change it 5 minutes later.

Yeah, the problem with self-inserting into D&D characters is that you get personally affected by what happens to them and how they're treated. It's called "bleed". Plus, if it's a self-insert, you probably play them not too dissimilarly from how you act in real life, and they're probably used to referring to that personality that they're familiar with as a whatever pronoun they know it by.
It's just you trying to break out of the Matrix, but you keep waking up back inside it.
So THAT'S why it's always so high-quality.
No suggestions. I just wanna know what the answer ends up being that fixes it for you.
No, literally. Sauce?
"You're all assholes too? Psh, then why am I pretending not to be?!"
As somebody with social anxiety, it sounds like your MIL also has social anxiety. Hence, the constant need to have to reinforce that other people can stand her. I had to train this out of myself in my late teens/early 20s.
I know it's annoying to deal with, but showing a little compassion and simply affirming that you're exhausted but her relationship with you is secure will go a long way for her. She'll probably get used to you being quiet around her too.
Ah. Their word choice of "gotten past" led me to assume they viewed it as an obstacle.
