Are you webcomics self inserted?

it's not intentional but My boyfriend and my best friend have said the main character is just a guy version of me.

considering it's a vent story it makes sense. Most of the events in the story are heavily based on things that have happened in my life, although some details may be changed or heavily dramatized for storytelling's sake.

It's only natural to pour ourselves into our worlds and characters, what matters is to not make the MC live our personal power fantasy if it doesn't help the plot advance or improve.I also recommend making characters you actually hate not because of their actions, but because of their "base". That will help you differentiate between "I don't like it but it's for the plot" and "I will just magically change it" and decide when to choose any of either paths.

I mean, kinda yes kinda no. I try to base my character's flaws on problems I notice within myself or in my own past behavior, so I would understand best how those flaws would affect them. Because, thematically, I want my stories to be something that can speak to myself personally- so it's all about problems I deal with just verrrrryyyy coated in metaphor.

So tl;dr all of my characters are more or less based on myself- just very exaggerated versions of me.
