Do you play as your Simself?

Fun survey, I liked the choices. I had to vote with my heart, so #justiceforoccults. However, in all seriousness, I have never created a simself. The idea feels weird to me, almost creepy in a way, but I don't know why. I have created sims with similar personalities and interests, but they don't look like me and definitely don't live the life I lead. I've also never made sims who look like family or friends. Or enemies either, lol.
