There is a small amount of humans I like, these consist of Keiji Inafune, Akira Kitamura, Avril Lavigne, All of Blink 182, New_Female, ZeStopper, the CSZ Cast, Eminem(aka the badass rapper), Brian Lee O'malley, and only a bit more. And CutStuff is safe since most of us aren't even human.I agree with everything.
"Gender identity is a person's private sense, and subjective experience, of their own gender. This is generally described as one's private sense of being a man or a woman, consisting primarily of the acceptance of membership into a category of people: male or female."Right, that's kinda why I like to refer to myself as an it sometimes, aside from being a stupid running joke.
basically this means your internal sense of being and what gender you feel you are (eg. "heck yeah i feel like boy")
of course you'll have people fall outside the "male-female" spectrum ("you know i dont feel like i'm either boy or girl, or maybe im both and yadda yadda")
I tend to associate myself with more feminine characters and traits more often than masculine ones.
I know how you feel.(click to show/hide)
I am a pretty princess and I will be offended if you refer to me as anything elseNo, you are a frog princess.
I think this topic should go in this fashion: people come here to get something off their chest about themselves, while those who wish to comment on such things do so as long as shit doesn't even gain the necessary momentum to hit the fan.That's basically the direction it has been going in so far. Nobody has yet to come here for actual counseling as far as I can tell; they're just venting or sharing little facts.

On most forums I'm on, I constantly feel as though I am the "newbie". Perhaps it's because I don't think I ever leave a lasting impact, or perhaps it's because I don't make friends easily, so I feel detached from the rest of the forum-goers. I have a similar problem in real life, where while I am quite friendly, I don't really get attached to people, either.what the heck.

If I told you that is just how I feel in certain occasions, would you believe me?Yes. I think your feelings and thoughts in general are a lot more common than you seem to think. I see these same feelings and thoughts in many other people.
Birthdays are a funny thing--when you're little, they're the greatest thing and you always look forward to them. As you grow older, though, it becomes something you dread as you begin to drift from your childhood.(click to show/hide)
That reminds me that I almost cannot do anything without playing it as if it's a first impression, screwing it up, and hating myself for making a bad image later.
in my opinion you can say "hey I consider myself to be a female" and not have to break out dictionary.com to make your point,You can. Bringing out word definitions can help for some people though, as they might not fully understand everything immediately (not everyone looks into this sort of stuff very much, a lot of words and definitions aren't widely recognized). Sort of as a "just in case" type of thing. It's good to expand your vocabulary anyway! I don't think anyone's using big words just for the sake of it.
much less attack others for not immediately realizing what your viewpoint and opinion even means to begin withI don't ever see this happening anywhere ever.
I have to say, I can understand the way sb+b feels. Many of the terms get used inside contexts that are hostile against cis persons. Spend a week on tumblr and other parts of the internet with a high amount of opinion-based content and you'll see what I mean.Quote from: "SmashBroPlusB"in my opinion you can say "hey I consider myself to be a female" and not have to break out dictionary.com to make your point,You can.

I guess because I don't use tumblr, whoops.

Spend a week on tumblr and other parts of the internet with a high amount of opinion-based content and you'll see what I mean.After hearing some stories from friends, I will fully take your word for this. Some people are just really insensitive and narrow minded, I guess. I know for sure it can be like that on both sides, but it's still rather sad because I hate to see the general populace of such people get a bad rep. There are plenty of good ones out there.
But then, I'm someone who judges romantic loveability on mostly personality and a lot less on gender or sexuality (I wouldn't call myself fully pan-romantic, though). And yes, that one does not match exactly with my sexual orientation.Me too, though! It's what's inside that counts.
So maybe I just don't care enough about genders and sexes to really care about all those terms. Cisgirls and Transgirls are the same for me in all relevant ways.
Tacking these extra gender terms onto yourself is awful and you should never do itWhy on earth? They're all real terms that help explain the topic, which isn't always simple to understand when you go deeper into it, and they are not in any way offensive by definition. Why should we be ashamed for using them?
Though it's like you want a change to just happen with time too so that everything is set properlyI'm not even sure what exactly you're trying to say here.
I have the opposite feeling and I usually think I'm not being "manly enough".
On a more serious note... I have Asperger Syndrome.
cool~The thing is, I don't like it. :I
Also I'm far too underweight for my ageI don't think I was that much heavier when I was 16. I don't even weigh 120 as I am now. Don't worry about it! Some of us are just pretty light. I have a rather high metabolism, which I think contributes to it.
I'm like 100 pounds exactly and nearing my sixteenth birthday
I am bad at talking in ways people don't misunderstand.
And I edit all my posts and PMs I write here countless times after posting/sending because there are always things that I feel like I need to add.
And I don't talk too clearly irl. Both in terms of articulation and talking too quietly. But I happen to talk too loudly annoyingly often, too, because I just can't really control how loud I talk too well.
And I severely dislike talking on the phone because it relies even more on what you say than normal talking does. And you can't quickly add things like in text form.
And I often talk without thinking beforehand.
And I keep using either too many short independent clauses or overly nested subordinate clauses which is probably really annoying to decipher.
I'm horrible at talking.
Now guess how often I feel dumb/embarassed/other bad things because of things I say/write.
Also, these are some of the reasons why I never used and probably never will use Skype calls, ever.
I tend to operate as if everyone thinks I'm a loser.
I tend to operate as if everyone thinks I'm a loser.Humility is a wonderful quality to have, and something I admire in you. Just don't let it get you down in the dumps too much (hilarious to hear this coming from me). Don't feel bad about sharing your thoughts and ideas--this is a public forum. That's what we're supposed to do! I think your art is pretty neat, for the record.
So, for example, if I go on about my opinion about something (like, say, Mario Kart 8's remade courses), I automatically assume people don't give a crap and are sick and tired of me going on about it.
And, for another example, whenever I draw, sprite, or doodle anything to do with my character, I also automatically assume people don't care, and they think my character's rubbish or something...
(To be honest, I'll probably feel a little better if someone assures me that this is not the case, as so far, I can only hopefully assume that this is not the case for my 1 friend that actually also considers me their friend at this place)
Although I bet that the only reason why this is affecting me so much, is that I went from basically being friends with everybody in my (gifted) grade, to having virtually no friends at all, and the few ones I have, I usually do not share classes with them, EVEN THOUGH WE DO HAVE THE SAME CLASSES!I LIVED MY ENTIRE LIFE HOMESCHOOLED I NEVER GOT TO HAVE ANY FRIENDS AT ALL
So, in other words, unless I make friends with anyone, they don't care 'bout me, and forget I exist. YEP, THAT DEFINITELY MAKES ME FEEL HAPPYThere's definitely not a strict binary here. There are several people out there that might like you and consider you cool despite not actually being your "friends".
'though this kinda explains why I enjoy being on this site, more than at school; more people actually take note of my existence (well, HOPEFULLY)

then again there weren't any bullies either so I'm not really complaining much. Still, every time someone describes highschool to me it sounds increasingly awful and I'm sorry you have to go through it.I am lucky, as the school board deemed me intelligent enough that I can go to special schools where there's more work.

Speak for yourself. I'm invisible 99% of the time on skype for the exact reasons Kage mentioned.Quote from: "Kage"Two, I'm worried I'll feel overwhelmed if a bunch of people want to talk to me at once. I may end up disappointing someone if they think I'm ignoring them or something.
This is really rare. More often you'l be starting a conversation than joining one.
While it may not take effort for someone else to get into a conversation, I always have to think about what I want to say before I can chat.I'm like that all the time. Does this make you anxious around people or something? Either way, I don't think that's a sign of being very asocial. I think that just means you're more introverted than most, and are perhaps a bit of a thinker.
Don't force you to be so much social if you are not like that ^^Thankz Stone! I suppose it would probably help if I do more activities with people.
For me, you are cool yet ...and relax man!
Maybe you need more activities with people, actually? I dont know o:

I think that just means you're more introverted than most, and are perhaps a bit of a thinker.Depending on the scenario, I could feel anxious around people. Usually it is either there are too many people trying to talk to me or someone not responding when I do want to talk to them. I've always known that I am an introvert, and that does hinder me from time to time. I don't mind talking to people at all. However, I just feel that I'm bad at starting conversations though as well as maintain constant communication with any individual. Even now, I'm still not very enticed to get on Skype.
I just feel that I'm bad at starting conversations though as well as maintain constant communication with any individual.
I tend to feel really ostracized whenever I'm in a skype call.
It seems like I have to literally yell just to get myself heard and I feel bad when I do, cause I don't wanna hog attention, rather just be a part of the conversation..
It's probably just me being antisocial or somethin'.
I honestly prefer smaller calls than the more bigger ones like in Tengu Chat or Freeman Chat.I find it amusing that the Tengu chat has grown so substantially since its beginnings in early 2012. It grew from a humble chat of 6 to a fairly active chat of 40. Calls in that chat used to average around 3 or 4 people, and now it's usually upwards of 11. Even so, we manage to have quiet, 5-person calls late at night, and on occasion, some pretty personal conversations.
Then again, there are a few people (I don't like to name names) that I've ended up doing my best to avoid as a result of this, so maybe it is a bit personal..?? I dunno.
I think this is why I've been aliasing a lot when playing MM8BDM--an attempt to get away from my identity and reputation, and away from the eyes of a few people. I kinda realized that if I played the game without people immediately knowing who I was, I didn't feel as bad.Unfortunately, most people who recognize you will still call you Kapus and not by the alias.
Regarding your statement regarding your reputation here, why is that? You've committed no reprehensible actions, and have had nothing but a positive impact on the community.I think that's exactly why. The high amount of attention recieved from positive impact on the community and other things could be too much to handle.
Considering Cutstuff has been relatively lifeless for the past 3 months, uncomfortableness and confusion is very understandable. Many people here probably feel out of place due to very little communication. Trust me, it isn't specific to you.Thank you, but I don't think that actually has anything to do with why I feel bad. When I say "cutstuff community", I really mean the community as a whole, even outside the forum. The message board may be really slow, but there are still many active groups around skype and such where people of the community mingle. People also hang out in the servers nearly every day.
Regarding your statement regarding your reputation here, why is that? You've committed no reprehensible actions, and have had nothing but a positive impact on the community.Well...I'm not quite sure, haha. That's kind of the problem. It's a very strange feeling that I'm not sure how to put into words. I might know how to express it slightly, but I feel kind of uncomfortable elaborating further than I already have, I guess. I suppose I'll try since someone told me to be more confident in myself.
Unfortunately, most people who recognize you will still call you Kapus and not by the alias.Well, yeah, of course. And it doesn't help.
you are a very nice guyThank you but please don't call me guy.
I've ignored or refused to help others around here when I'm perfectly capable of doing so, I'm unable to improve my MM8BDM skills against good competition, etc. To be honest I can only think of one thing that I actually finished my entire time I've been here, which was a map for the Finish That Map 2 competition (a map that ended up in the middle of the pack, but that's somewhat ancillary).
It's all part of a crippling inferiority complex that I've suffered from ever since those aforementioned junior years, where I believed that wasn't good enough for everyone else. This thinking only makes me angry and depressed to the point where I detest certain members of the community; not because of any action that has come at my expense, but simply because they remind me of something that I believe I will never be able to reach while I'm here. I'm a rather mediocre, middle-of-the-road person, with no real fit inside of this community.
I like to think that I don't hurt Cutstuff's well-being by staying here, but I'm almost certain that I don't help it, and that it wouldn't suffer any drastic blow if I was to leave, unlike other members of the community who have shown that they are proficient and useful through their success.
I'm unimportant and unskilled
I just don't see the purpose of me staying here anymore, and as hard as all this is to say, it's not something I can keep in for very long. I'm unimportant and unskilled, and have most likely overstayed my welcome- as a result, my presence here is tenuous. As I said, I don't enjoy the thought of leaving, but I've noticed that my former sanctuary for escaping my dark thoughts only seems to be a place where they can return.
I've met plenty of great people here that I can credit with being true friends during a long, dark time a few years ago.If you've met plenty of great people here, and as you saw in the cute posts that came before this ugly one I'm writing right now, a lot of people like you and don't think of you as badly as you think you are, at all.
If I were to stay, then I'd probably just forget about the entire reason why I'm upset in a few days or a week and continue with my normal existence here. But I don't want these ideas to resurface later when I hit a similar low point
I'm a rather mediocre, middle-of-the-road personI am too, and there's nothing wrong with that, because as long as you enjoy doing something, whether it is mapping, playing, coding, spriting, whatevering, it's okay to fail, it's alright to be "worthless" or a "failure", daijobu daijobu, it's gonna be okay.
I Would want play a game without read a lot of complains or agressive things no-stop when they can post the "problems" of a mode or others in the forum (it's made for, right?)You can't just say what people can say and what they can't say, if you want to play the game without reading others' commentary, then either don't pay attention to them, or mute them, F8, people, F8.
Better to bash a guy who try to have some friends (because he feel lonely and hated) than bash the people who try to make him crazy sad. But yeah, it's the rules of the groups, it's FUN.I think that you might be just exaggerating this part, maybe Cutstuff was this way in the past, and I myself remember enjoying teasing the shit out of people like zerox daniel or that one guy named lad, but these days this kind of thing doesn't happen as much, as far as I know, and the way you've written it, you make it seem as if criticism is a bad thing, which is not in the slightest.
It's so FUN to critic something when a big PART of the group HATE IT YET (even without know how was really this guy). Some people can do some miss, but remember, nobody is totaly bad, sometimes, they can have a bad period, just try to be more diplomatic.
Better to give a warning to a guy who posted 1 word (because it was 1 word about laughing) in a post than give a warning to a guy who post some HITLER STUFF because he loves him WHEN you have (certainly) some people who can be judaist or black in this forum, but this guy is liked by some admins, so yeah, here is the problem, everything started like that.Now this is a complaint directed to the mods, apparently? I know the moderating and rules on cutstuff aren't top notch but they certainly do their job, taking a look at the rules, 1 word unsensical posts are seen as not sane and unnecessary, but "a guy who post some HITLER STUFF because he loves him" is just a guy's personal opinion, you don't know for sure if it's just an edgy joke especially directed to insult or offend jewish or black people, or if the guy is actually a lover of adolf hitler, either way, free speech, you can't just shut that down.
F8 or better to ban ? I dont like when the atmosphere is killed, specially by this guy who trolled me in the duel server, or the guy who spam "desynchro this classe gniiiii it sucks" no-stop.
Cutstuff is always like that, even now. Nobody is innocent there. ( you are back since some weeks, right?)
For Hitler, its not good if some judaist or others people see that, maybe you see that like a joke, but it's not funny actually, some people can be hurt by that.
I think You dont realize how the bad acts can be taken by some other people...not only by the group of friends. ;)
But yeah, there is some favoritism anyway..... <3
The difference is, saying "I like X" is way different than "I hate X", whether saying "I like X" is just expressing yourself and your views or whatever, if you're offended by "I like X" then you could just talk it out and shit instead of just being all passive aggresiveManichean spotted (i joke)
Sometimes, a hater can have more convictions than a person who like everything, you know right?You were faced with the subject of passive aggression. You keep backpedaling and responding with irrelevant statements like this.
I prefer a guy who insult a hypocrit (where the hater is a good guy) than a guy who use some social NiCe way to critic an other guy. Appearance si foolish.You're unclear on both points here, especially on the second example. What do you mean by some "social NiCe way to critic an other guy"? By the way, great spelling.
But it does nothing with the Hitler" problem (or others). Again, this kind of post can hurt Judaist people who are fan of megaman (and i know some of them who are judaist....or black).I'm not defending the kind of people you're ragging on about here, but you should realize that they're doing this just for cheap laughs. They just want attention in the form of long rants.
It seems, not a lot of people take things seriously like IT MUST BE.There's a difference between taking something seriously and blowing it out of proportion.
For jman, i dont care......but when the troll becomes very very agressive like no-stop, even if you try to ignore him, it can becomes really dirty and start to be a pain, like an alienation......I'm just trying to help. People will stop picking on you if you can show a little composure.
Anyway, communautarism is always a thing in a lot of forums. Just too bad it's the same here."Communautarism" isn't a word, I think you're looking for "Communitarianism". Maybe because a forum IS a community, after all.

I know that feeling more than I can say, but based on experience, it's not really something you should worry about too much. Folks rarely approach me for anything unless I join a mapping competition or a duel tournament, and I'm perfectly okay with that. I've come up with a sort of rule or method or whatever you wanna call it: I don't actively approach others in an attempt to elicit approval, but I'm always around and willing to listen if folks approach me. There's only around 2 people that I regularly carry out private, albeit brief, conversations with.^
I can't say I've ever had a problem with you, but at the same time, I don't really know you well either. On a similar note to Caprice's sentiment, I like having folks like that hanging around here. Even though I don't know you well, others seem to like your company, so I'm not about to throw rocks at you or anything.
it's good to know that we've all got each other's backs here.

As he said and has been implied, these people tend to make personal issues an issue with the entire community which just tends to escalate conflicts.

And throw whatever assumptions you had about Skype chats out the window. I'm part of Freeman's chat and it's not like we're constantly conspiring to take down whoever we don't like. Keep filling in the blanks with your own lame assumptions, but it doesn't resolve anything.
you have a tendency to be condescending, maybe turn that down a little and people will be more receptive.
Dat joke...
im still polite, but well, seem easy to insult when we are from a certain group (:
Nobody in the Tengu chat wants to attack other people.Almost nobody.

How do I get over this slump of thinking that I've worked hard only to find out that I've not even scratched the surface of what's called effort? How do I go from failing nearly all of my classes to making straight A's? Why am I asking YOU all of these questions?
Mermaid Man, where are you?!?
I have flashbacks. But they aren't flashbacks of horrible, cruel events. They're flashbacks of embarrassing events. Even though they had no lasting effect, my subconcious treats them like they were the death of a family member.
And yet, when my grandfather died 8 years ago, I didn't mourn. At his funeral, I was just bored. I still don't feel any sadness. I was sadder when (spoiler) died in Star Wars Episode 7.
Something's really wrong with me.
Did you have any real connection or closeness to your grandfather?Yes. I often visited him when I was young. One thing I vividly remember about him was that his last name* was the same as Spongebob's in Iceland(Svampur Sveinson) as weird as it sounds.
