having trouble fitting in?

I've felt that way about other things in the past, I'm sure everyone has, but never here. With the community being so accepting, I don't think it's possible to screw everything up, unless someone started trolling/spamming.

Practice makes perfect,

you'll get use to the flow of the forums and rules the longer you are here, after a week you are piratically family.

Besides this forums is a very loving and forgiving community :) ~

I Just saw the thread you're reffering to with this topic. I wouldn't take a minor misunderstanding seriously... I'm sure nothing was really meant, just a discussion that got competitive. Edited by 83awsm

I got to admit, I wasn't entirely loved by the community in the beginning xD

Finest (Rose) however became one of my very first friends here, and teached me how to RP better, since I knew the quotations and all of that, I just misspelled oftenly, forgot to capitalize and messed up every now and then, and I often left the RP's without a warning, which still happens sometimes, but everybrony here had troubles at the beginning it's just a matter of time until they get used to the forums and the members

always had troubles fitting in a facebook obsessed, sports obsessed, rap obsessed, country music obsessed, and stupidity obsessed area you call my town. I am a social isolationist at the same time though.

If it's any comfort, your always gonna be more popular than me XD

 

Don't let the almost 100 likes fool ya, hardly any people know me around here.

 

Just say what you really would say in person, everyone here is loving and understanding =)

 

Also, all the posts I've seen you make weren't bad. Some were pretty good!

Tell me about it, I was super nervous when I pressed "Enter" after my first post here...

 

I'd like to keep this introduction short, so...

 

Hello there! I have been a brony for a bit longer than I joined these forums, but I was afraid to show it! I finally decided to look for a forum to talk to fellow bronies, and here I am. (It was the first link from when I searched for one on google, so I honestly have never heard of this place :P) I do not have a favorite pony anymore (I love them all) but my favorite used to be Rainbow Dash.

 

But soon everything changed when I found out how loving and kind you guys are. Finest (Rose) was one of the first people I've ever had a chat with in this forum, and he changed me from a shy little guy to an over-the-top hyper guy!


Call me Super. If you see me outside of RP World, call Animal Control.

I had to get rid of my backstory. Everypony who read it called it a sob story. It kinda was but it's also extremely entertaining. I changed it though. But I still have the old one saved on my phone. I'm interested by the novel-long summary of what I made up in 2-3 months Edited by ScarletDagger

Well I can't really say much about the backstory since I haven't had the chance to read it. Now I'm assuming the notes telling you it was a backstory were on the negative side, in which case was it from people that weren't here that long? They might've not gotten used to the relatively positive atmosphere of this place.

 

Unless the people had been here a long while, or even one of the people like Crispy and Rose, in which case... cr*p, there goes my point.

Scarlet, when I started RPing, I deleted every single post I made. Every. Single. One. And I godmodded. And I made Mary Sue characters. And I did every single thing that you were never supposed to do in a roleplay. And I raged. But I still tried, and now I'm at least a decent RPer, though nothing compared to Rose.

 

I really do feel like deleting this entire post right now, but I'll save it just for you.

No matter where I go, I'm a little slow at getting the hang of things. I don't earn instant popularity. But I know where it's worth putting my effort. So I keep at it, at my normal pace, until I feel comfortable with my surroundings and I become a memorable forum member. I'm in no rush to make my mark. And it's OK if I never do. But when I do, I know in the end that it was worth the wait and the effort.

 

Your backstory is a sob story? Well, if you say that, then perhaps I would've been judgmental of it, too. I kinda roll my eyes at people who share their elaborate "tragic" pasts for a couple reasons.

 

The number 1 reason is that everyone suffers, and everyone has sore spots in life. Some stories are worse than others, but regardless, we all have them, therefore having a sad backstory doesn't make you a special snowflake, and I feel like when people share them off the bat to a bunch of Internet strangers that they're trying to get attention and have people feel sorry for them.

 

If that's not the case, then the number 2 reason for me rolling my eyes is because people share about their personal lives far too quickly to others. I'd rather get acquainted with somepony before I hear about the stuff that's happened in their lives. I'd like to get to know them on a basic level - what's your personality, what are your likes/dislikes, what do you believe in, etc. If the first thing I learn about a person is a sad story that they themselves are mentioning, it makes me think, "Woah, easy buddy, I don't even know you and here you are sharing these very personal things to me." It makes me uncomfortable. Or it makes me think that you're an attention whore. Either way, it's not good.

 

It's good to be honest. But I prefer to be more familiar with a person before I know about their deepest emotions and most life-changing moments.

 

As for RPing... I don't do it. I've tried it before and I wasn't bad at it or anything, but it just doesn't interest me. *shrug*

I didn't really notice you doing anything wrong but I've never read your bio so how would I know. :huh: Anyway the forums should forgive you, I mean this is a brony forum we are talking about.

Don't let a few mishaps get in the way of having fun, when I first started posting here I was worried but you get over it after a while.

I STILL don't feel like I've completely assimilated here. I've kind of found a niche making avatars and sigs, but I don't feel like I've really gotten to know anybody here. However, I'm definitely a lot more comfortable than I was a week or two ago. Just give it some time. ;)
