Mael's Announcement/Things I need to start doing

So after five minutes a while of thinking, I decided that I need to make a list of everything wrong with my behavior, and what I need to do to fix it.

 

I'm sick of being treated the way I am, I'm tired of the arguments, and I'm tired of my overall mopey depression. I bring most of this on myself, and I said "most" because I will not blame everything on me, that just contributes to my depression. So if you guys go off to say "You did everything and its all your fault" you're just making this happen.

 

As far as I know, my immaturity cannot be changed. Maturity is natural, and we all mature eventually. It cannot be forced, and we all know this. I'm sorry that this is the way it has to be, but you just have to welcome my immaturity until I can change and become a better, more formal person.

 

I'm not going to run away this time. Last time I did that nothing changed and I disappointed many people. Running away will also result in me losing experience with RRU, and everything will just happen all over again. Instead, I'm just going to stay here, and I'll keep trying to fix myself until I succeed.

 

I am done being mopey. My mopeyness is probably one of the worst parts about my personality, and I'm sick of it. It increases my depression, and it just makes me feel worse, and hate people more. Honestly I'm sure people like Le are done dealing with this, and are sick of patting me on the back trying to make me feel better, when I just turn around and act all mopey again.

 

I'm going to try my best to not take what people say on here to heart. Most of my reasons for arguing, getting upset, or just flaming in general is because I take what people say on the internet as a true offense, and in response I hit back and the result is a massive flamewar. I'm done with that. If I find something really offensive, or I feel that people are overwhelming me, I just won't reply.

 

I'm also not going to express my personal beliefs, position on politics, or anything else. This usually starts up flamewars, and as any sensible person on the internet knows, that's a bad thing. If someone acting blind and foolish discusses the above, I'll simply leave the chatroom.

 

I'm also going to keep the "Global Forum Rules" tab open at all times, and I'll also check my message before I post it, and yes, I usually don't do the latter; it's a bad habit of mine.

 

I'm sorry for all the trouble I stirred up in the past and my rude and flawed behavior. I'd say some things about how some people on RRU should change and start following the rules, but let's face it, RRU will never change, regardless if it's flawed or not, so I guess I'll just have to do the changing.

 

P.S. I'm also probably going to avoid RRU most of the time but that's just a side thing.

Okay, so I read through all of this. And I feel the need to chime in a bit here.

I'm happy to see you're tired of the arguments, but as I've said before and so many times before, whatever you do or say is just taking a position in the impression you leave on people. If you want to get anywhere you and only you have to stand up for your actions, it's a fact of life. I think everyone here has tried really hard to be friendly, most than many communities would do.

You say you're not going to run away, yet you at the end of this mention you're probably going to be avoiding RRU most of the time.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with expressing your opinion, beliefs or anything for that matter. That's not what starts Flame Wars, what starts flame wars is the way you go about it and say it in a way that insults others in the chat. Just an example, say, someone believes in Catholisism (Spelled right?), and say I'm a Baptist. These are two forms of Christianity, I believe Baptist is the right way, but that someone believe Catholisism is, we both have stated our opinions, but we don't have to go into a huge debate/argument about it. Both of those are our opinion, and it's entirely fine to have your own opinion. It doesn't mean there has to be stress about it.

Okay, here's the thing about the internet, you can't see the person's face. Often times someone is being sarcastic, and it's easy to take as offensive. Taking things online seriously is often very dangerous. But not listening to what people say is just as wrong and foolish to do. People's opinions and views matter.

My point is Mael, I truly want to believe you'll change, but half of what I see is pointing fingers, and not actual change. You can say you'll change, but it doesn't mean it'll actually happen.

See, this is why I spam tongue smilies everywhere. On the Internet, you can't see my face and the only way you'll know I'm laughing is if you get a message consisting of "qsailudtfqwylGFAYLOQFLYFlalj" as my head slams on the keyboard. l405G.jpg

 

Taking things seriously when they're not is never a good thing.

Nor is taking things seriously and having a "I-am-right-and-bow-dow-to-me-you-petty-mortals-I-am-lord" approach; you're probably not like that, but that's really how you come across.

 

What's in your message is less important than how you phrase it. Both are important, yes, but phrasing is MORE important.
