I've actually always viewed you as pretty confident about a lot of things...and I have noticed that you seem to have increased confidence in yourself, which makes me so happy. I see you as a really positive, calm presence on this site. I wish I could be more like that.
I view myself as increasingly cynical and disinterested, snippy and apathetic. I used to care a lot more. I suppose it could change but to be honest, I'm not sure I give a flying fuck anymore.
That being said, though, I still dearly care for many people here. It saddens me that I have less time or inclination to get to know new users (made even more irritating by the fact that now I actually have more confidence to start conversations with people...). It's the other shit I'm weary of, mostly. Well...that and some new people who feel it's more fun to be intentionally horrid for their own amusement. I'm sick of seeing people I care about being driven from here because of people like this. I'm sick of potential new people being driven from here before they have a chance to make a positive contribution because of people like this.
I think I'm viewed on here as someone in a clique. Which annoys me. I'd happily talk to anyone who doesn't behave like a prick. The way I react to people interacting with me is...surprise surprise...reciprocating the way they have engaged with me.
I ranted :/ sorry. It's late and I'm in a bad mood.
It's weird that to hear you say that you're growing more cynical, disinterested, and apathetic because you've always come across like you cared. I mean you always give great advice. And you always know how to pal around with plenty of the other users. Honestly you're just hilarious, which is like something that makes this site great. You've been here for awhile now and honestly you're one of the people here who makes the community what it is, amazing.
I'm right there with you on not liking people getting bullied on this site. Although to be honest, there are only a handful of new users that I've really been noticing. Some of them have stopped showing up. Some of them are still here and I like their presence. While I know that bullying is still a problem on here, I haven't seen anything recently. Which I guess hopefully means that nobody is being bullied.
As for the whole clique thing, I know what you mean. But that's what one of the things I tried to semi-stress in the post. There really aren't cliques it's just people talking to one another. Anybody could do that. Talk to someone they want to. Especially to you charli.m you come off as nice and approachable.
Is it normal Cliques and New Users

I like it when you rant though.
