Personal Feelings on TBT and recent negativity-- how to fix.

I'm going to 'relax' my usage of TBT for quite a while now, I'm finding that either I'm noticing childish comments more or that the few are just affecting me more (A recent event being that I said that I find spoilers aggravating so I avoid them, then some users making petty jokes about that) I've also found that I'm finding less people that I can easily talk to and relate with...
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you.
 
I dun give much about the forums really
my friend is the reason I come here everyday xD
but yh cant help but comment on the threads, cant say I hate being social really
 
Sometimes I want to leave because I feel like I've been a loser towards everyone and I can't fix the things I've said and done and it makes me sad to see my monstrous words.

Don't feel that way. ^^ I joined a forum back in 2008 when I was like 10 years old. Unfortunately, since I was so young, it meant I was a bit immature at times so I said really stupid, embarrassing things, but usually they were never harmful (and to be honest, most people got a good laugh out of them). When I was 13, I also said/did stupid things, but unfortunately they were spiteful comments to other members. I don't know why on earth I did it, because it was just silly and most of the time I never meant what I said. :( I eventually left that website... Looking back on it, I wish I never did it, but I did whatever I could to prove people I wasn't like that anymore, when I returned a year ago. Whilst I'm not very active anymore on said forum, I apologised to the people I perhaps offended and always tried to be nice and kind to everyone. Now I'm glad because the people accepted my apologies, and whilst what I did was still wrong, I can move forward and put it behind me, and show that I have changed. You need to do the same, too. If you prove to people you're not the same person you used to be, then they will see that, and they definitely will not think you're a loser. I'm sure it is just something that comes with age, too. I know you're still quite young, but you're maturing every single day, learning, and growing. ^^ It's just what happens, it's a part of being human. :)
 
idk I feel like ive been a salty ***** lately but I believe I have fixed the source of my salt

idk how ive changed since tbt. like its only been a few months but maybe ive become more uncool or more cool or just irritating bc I think my personality tires people out or I get random spikes of personality change for a bit and people dont like that

as for everyone else, I never knew a forum about animal crossing could be so dramatic and id always thought id be in this forum for the animal crossing rather than for the community but here I am stayin strong from good community vibes

I think the lot of you are all very cool cats and that whats in the past/your occasional salty fits dont really affect your coolness

your cool is static guys, its stuck to u like a sock fresh out of the dryer

idek if im posting properly in this thread srry im just giving my op on my behavior and on other users' behaviors and hoping that counts
 
That's Shiro's job, she's always killin' swag. :D <3

it is my duty,

Thanks for all the responses to my first post on this thread.
Sometimes I feel the negativity here is quite extreme. I see a lot of arguments every now and then and it is sometimes off-putting.
This forum is different to the other ones I'm on because you get banned for cussing and arguing, etc. Not to say you get let off for arguing here either, though. This place is more relaxed.
I sometimes feel left out here but it doesn't fuss me because everyone's fairly polite.
In the IRC I don't always feel comfortable because everyone is so friendly with each other and my contributions are often ignored and I can't make conversation. Most of my friends here are inactive now :c
I want to make new friends but I find it hard, which is unusual for me since I'm quite easy-going.
I honestly don't understand mafia, and it may just be me but it gives me a vibe of 'if you don't play it you're stupid'. It's probably just me though, but I feel insignificant because I don't play it.
Everyone here is lovely though and I hope we can defeat this negativity.

Joining mafia doesn't really improve your chances of being more liked. It's just that sometimes experienced players are "sugoi-ing" over a newbie player's skill in the game.
So they just start to respect you a little bit. BUT, if you are sensitive, don't like being pushed, don't like bekng pressured, then do not join mafia. It will be bad for you if you get offended, because sometimes players are offended because of what other players say, even though if it is just a game. The best thing to do is try not to be rude, be polite. Just chill, relax. I don't really get ticked off by insults, but I'm justed ticked off when I'm having a horrid day ;D
 
Mafia is fun but as we've seen, not for the faint hearted, if you're easily offended then it's not worth you getting upset. We'd rather people be happy then get upset over a game! Don't feel you have to play to "fit in" you're fine as you are.
 
I would join in because it does seem fun, but I just don't understand what to do! aha.

You join. You get your role. You keep your role under wraps until you need to make a strategic claim. Or out of desperation. You can be either town, mafia or one the various third parties. The general goal of mafia is to eliminate mafia if you're town, and for mafia to control the voting power, or kill off town completely. Third parties are given their goals depending on what type of third party they are.

Most roles have actions you can use to tip the scale of the game. Not all roles have actions, like goons and townies. It's a simple game, really. It can get complicated with all of the arguments and what goes on behind the scenes, but it's nothing to be afraid of.

This place is definitely more relaxed and admittedly, out of all of the forums I've been on, this probably has the nicest members. It could definitely be worse, but I'm glad that people are all sticking together and admitting this is a problem and that we're trying to solve it. It's a problem that most internet communities face. You will always get idiots in life no matter what happens, but it's just learning how to deal with it that counts the most. ^^ I've never been in the IRC so I can't talk about that, but I think that sometimes "cliques" are unintentionally formed at times, and I've seen it happen on other websites too. I'm not saying that the people on the IRC are like that, because I don't know that for myself, but it just sometimes happens and I'm sure maybe they find it hard to talk to other people they don't know so well either. I think people just need to be a bit more welcoming and polite and kind to new people, and to not feel nervous about it either. Also, if I'm honest, on this forum, there are more people who have never played on that mafia game than people who have. ^^ I've never played on it and I don't feel insignificant at all. It's just a game after all. We use this forum for different reasons, after all. I just enjoy posting and looking around. Some people use it for solely Animal Crossing. Others use it so they can interact with new people and play games. You shouldn't feel insignificant for not playing on the mafia game.
