Do you make your sim self?

No it's uncomfortable for me to make and play my simself or other real people in my game. I have put a few in some slapstick situations but they aren't lasting saves it's purely for giggles. I'll use actors but I don't think of them as the same mostly because in my mind they are more like the characters they have played or some composite that makes them not as real since I don't really know them.
I think I tie using real people - me or others too much into my actual feelings and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to them in the game. I also feel this way about people I dislike but know in real life. Also I'm a deviant player/storyteller so bad things are bound to happen. It would feel like poking a voodoo doll I think.. just bad juju for me. Nope.
