I want to know if you guys like having me around. Lately, I have felt targeted, and widely unwanted. I feel as if people are trying to tell me to get the hell off the site without getting themselves into trouble. 

I want to know if you guys like having me around? If you do, then say you do, and why. If you don't, then just say that you don't, while keeping it respectful and not flaming, and PM me any reasons so that I can consider changing them. If you flame me, I will report you. 

I am not in the business of changing who I am just to make a few people happy. However, I would like to be liked, and not have every post I make disliked by people because it's another post or thread by thing1. I want my competitions that I put though into the be played and particpated in, instead of them going to waste because thing1 made them. ( And yes, that is how I view things towards me on this site right now. ) 

Now, this is not another " Conspiracy against thing1 " thread. This is a thread to see what people like about me, and if people don't like me, for them to respectfully say so without breaking any rules, and to PM me any reasons that they think I could change. 

inb4 thread gets downrated for being another thing1 made thread. 

thing1 : I do not mind having you around at all.

I recall seeing your posts here and there every now and then, and they're becoming more and more plentiful. I have seen absolutely nothing wrong with you or your posts at all.

I think disliking a post because of the person who made it is just stupid; it isn't your fault whatsoever.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a relatively new member. Sure, I've been here for little over a year, but that's nothing compared to how long some other people have been on this site, like you, for example. I do not know much about your past attitude, reputation, stories, etc. on this site, and nor will I judge you for it. I will judge you based on what I know about you and how you are acting now.

My opinion? I like having you around. I think you're a good member of the board for sure, and I respect you.

I enjoy your threads. Your posts are good. I really enjoy having you around. I find that people really just get annoyed at nothing. Sure you do some stuff that people don't like, but who can make everyone like you? (That goes for all.) I hope you don't leave! Keep posting. The people change with time, maybe they will begin to see the good, instead of the bad. (Everyone has their faults.) 

Don't forget, the more posts you have, the more hate your going to get. People notice the mistakes you make a little more, because of the quantity of posts.

I don't care one way or the other.

I can't say I particularly like or dislike you.

This thread, however, is kind of pointless, and isn't likely to resolve whatever issue people have with you.

I think you know that most people aren't going to post that they dislike you.  It makes them look like 'the bad guy'.

Certain people click and certain people don't.

There are times I like talking to you.
But most of the time I don't.

And I'd rather talk to someone who is kind, honest, and humble ALL the time... not part of the time.  When being kind and humble is not the majority of the time, then anything else is a phony front.  Why should you want people to like you for who you are not?  That seems like an awful lot of work.

I appreciate that you're trying to change, but I believe that your character is too strong and that deep down, you're the same person.

I don't think you should have come back after what you did. It showed your spite and a lot of immaturity.  (You say you're working on that side of you, but constantly seeing yourself as a victim and then seeking the approval of others?  I think it's evidence that not much has changed.  You shouldn't need validation from others.  If you're seeking that, I think you know you haven't truly changed.  You rely too much on the opinion of others.)

You shouldn't worry about people liking you, or better yet... changing the 'outward' you just so that people like you.  If you change, do it to be a better person. Do it for yourself, not others.  It is you, after all, who has to contend with yourself 24/7.

(Better yet, if you can't do it for yourself, do it for God.)

EDITED:  I think I should also mention this:  I don't think ANYONE dislikes all your posts just because they don't like you. That'd be petty, and you can only have so many dislikes in a day.  I've disliked some of your posts and I've liked others.  I tend to dislike the posts where you are victimizing yourself, but that's because I don't appreciate self-pity.  I'd dislike it if anyone wrote a similar type of thread.  Maybe instead of assuming people are disliking your posts because YOU wrote them, you can check the quality, integrity, and heart of those posts with the most dislikes.

thing1 : I love having you around, personally. Sure, you're a bit rough around the edges and too self-centered. But you have brought joy at times to Vizzed. Sometimes, you have brought grief. Personally, I believe changing yourself would make more than a few people happy. I think some people have been less than kind about their feelings towards you, and that's not OK. But holding bitterness over it isn't OK, either. It will eat you up and make you unhappy.

I like your quizzes, but I wish they were less about you. Not that I don't like learning about your interests and such, but making a quiz about yourself makes you appear self-centered and desperate for attention, which I believe is true. It is not wrong to desire for people to want to learn about you, your interests and such, and use that information to care. But to make a quiz largely about yourself will drive people away, and they will likely be less interested in caring as a result.

As for me, I'm sticking around. You've got a lot of potential, and I'm looking forward to you using it in great ways. If you don't want to change, you'll be missing out on a lot of opportunities. Don't change because the crowd tells you to change. Change because you care about the crowd.

Let me guess, is it about the dislikes you're having lately? I highly doubt it's because people dislike "you", but rather, they just dislike your "post". You're completely making it seem like there's a conspiracy against you when there might actually be none. Who knows, maybe many are just against your idea (on a post) but aren't childishly targeting you as a user.

"I am not in the business of changing who I am just to make a few people happy. However, I would like to be liked..."

Change to make yourself happy, not to make others happy. And don't always assume that others are out to get you or else it might really turn into reality (you're just encouraging people to search for your posts and do a disliking spree by making this thread.) I don't really see the point in asking what people like about you either. Lastly, why would you let others affect you emotionally to that extent? If many people don't like you, so what? Let them be. We don't mind having you around as long as you abide by the rules of the board and NOT cause unnecessary drama.

It's not that we dislike you as a human, we dislike some of your posts.

The best suggestion i can give is.....change. Don't make threads like these anymore, they'll just temp people to REALLY dislike you. Try not to create drama, and forget what other people think. Who cares? You are you, and don't let anyone change that.

Juliet : This was mostly in part to built up emotions and getting 7 dislikes on a post where I told merf I would be interested in buying his forum off of him. 

Local Mods : I got the answers I needed. Please close. 

In the past, waaaay back in the past, I used to take things personal if people did not like my posts.  Years down the line, I'm older, "wiser" and married (with kids).  99.9% of the time if someone does not like your thread / post, it's simply that.  They don't like your opinion on the matter, not necessarily your character - the person who you are.  If you really care what people think, get face to face with them.  Not screen to screen.  It's easy being a keyboard warrior.  There's too many masks on an online forum.  If you're posts are disliked, make another one and move on.  I've made a couple of threads and posts that some people did not like and some "debates" got heated, but I never for one second did not like the person who disagreed with me.  I disagree with them and I tell them that, but I also tell them why I disagree in a respectful manner and that's the key.  If you do proper research on a subject and make effort with your threads and replies, people will notice that.  It will show you care even if they don't agree with your opinion.  If people then want to befriend you because of the things they liked in your posts then that's a bonus and a privilege not a right. Getting worked up about disliked posts is a waste of time and I certainly have much better things to do with my time than ponder on opinions.  If you are going to spend your time trying to win the approval of people, especially of the online community, you are going to be sorely disappointed time and time again my friend.  I'm a Christian, so I usually swing to spiritual things, so I'm swinging there now.  If you're looking for approval, look to God.  He is unchanging, always faithful and will never let you down.  "It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man." - Psalm 118:8

Do I like having you around?  Well, I'm mostly on Christian Conservatives so I honestly haven't followed much of your posts, just because I don't frequent the other forums.  Personally, I have no qualms with you or with anyone on this site, regardless of what they might think of my posts (not that I don't appreciate advice - don't misunderstand).

These types of threads aren't currently allowed without express Global permission.

(But since the thread had already run its course, I hope you found criticism that helped)

Closed.
