I like how small criticisms about one's self is self berating, and talking highly of one's self is having an over-inflated ego.

@scoot I try to maintain a level of balance as much as possible but yet, sometimes absolutes are necessary

@scoot Much like the last 2 days for me, and my anger. I consider that an absolute of sorts, or at the very least a side of the spectrum, an extreme.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:34:07 UTC from web-
@awlderpy It sort of is an extreme in terms of emotions, so I could guess it's an absolute. I've been very down about some things lately but I've been avoiding letting that overcome me
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:35:45 UTC from web-
@scoot I got hit with a proverbial bomb which just set me off, but as usual talking to the fine people here has helped a bit.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:38:15 UTC from web-
@awlderpy RDN has helped me through quite a few problems in the past, glad that's still the case
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:39:19 UTC from web-
@scoot *reading from cue card in near-monotonous voice* Thanks to RDN, I learned how to control myself when it came to anger or inappropriate jokes.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:41:42 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation I don't think that's funny. There are people here who HAVE. Perhaps you could do yourself a favor and show some respect for them, as I'm sure you're not perfect either.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:43:07 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet I keep forgetting how new you are.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:47:39 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Yeah, I'm new so I "don't know how stuff happens". Okay. Well, anyway, what you said was insulting to @scoot and I felt like saying something to you about it. I could say a LOT more to you, but I digress...
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:49:08 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet I won't get mad at you because you honestly don't know. A few months back, I was an absolute wreck. I was constantly getting ticked at people here for the stupidest reasons and was constantly getting in trouble for absurdly offensive jokes. I had been banned twice and the only reason I'm still here is because Cerulean pardoned me as soon as he came into power. One day, I made a joke that appeared to me to be a simple wisecrack. It ended up offending someone way more than I intended, and when I was told to knock it off, I ragedquitted and went into this dramatic phase where I assumed everyone hated me. Since then I have hated myself. So, so much. I've been trying to improve. I really have. Is it working? Probably not. I pretend like it is because that helps me feel better. But I'm getting into trouble less often. My point is that RDN has changed my personality somewhat, and I was not in any way making fun of Scoot.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:57:15 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation I'll be honest and respectful. Can I be honest with you?
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:58:43 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet Yes.

@mrmattimation You are doing better, but you don't need to explain yourself to everyone. This guy would never have known if you hadn't told him, you had a chance to reinvent yourself here.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:59:02 UTC from web-
@scoot honesty = best policy
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:59:59 UTC from web-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline He wasn't being dishonest, you don't have to tell everyone all your background and past issues when you meet them. I don't introduce myself by informing people of my faults and failings throughout my entire life.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:02:07 UTC from web-
@scoot not necessarily. But Mattman gave context that may be important and relevant later
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:03:48 UTC from web-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline If Matt keeps up as he has been, it'll probably never come up at all actually.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:05:18 UTC from web-
@scoot you never know, man. plot devices.

@mrmattimation Again that wasn't dishonest at all, he made a judgment based on the information he had and that's totally fine, just set him straight that you didn't mean it that way and it's a misunderstanding, you don't /have/ to tell people that you've has issues on the site.

@mrmattimation I don't know much about what you acted like before, so I won't comment on that except to say that I'm glad you're trying to improve! However, you still desire huge...HUGE...amounts of external approval and pats on the back for everything you do and I've been noticing that everything you say in here, for the most part, is very self-absorbed and begs for praise. You need to feel more positive about what you do and KNOW that you're doing a good job because it's what YOU want to say, through YOUR work. That's why you're an artist...You have something to say and you're doing it your own way. The only way you know how, just like any of us in here.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:04:10 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet I can't help but pick out the term "self-absorbed". How so?
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:06:06 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Well you never really greet anyone in here...You never join most conversations unless they're about something you're doing currently. You don't show support for folks or offer assistance. You're not concerned with any of that. You make random comments about how your animation's going in hopes to solicit questions and interest and deter the current topic.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:09:31 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet How long have you been here, again?
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:10:10 UTC from web-
@scoot 3 weeks.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:10:47 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg He's very observant.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:11:00 UTC from web-
@scoot I take that as a compliment, so thankies.

@clayinthecarpet Hey now, he happens to be one of my favourite people here, he cares about people, he doesn´t have to show it.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:11:14 UTC from web-
@awlderpy I don't intend to insult @mrmattimation with any of this. I'm just answering the question he posed to me, and agreed to let me answer honestly.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:12:56 UTC from web
-
-
@clayinthecarpet I would like to disagree with some of that. I'm just trying to find the proper words that make me seem as undickish as possible.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:13:32 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Well I know you don't MEAN negative intent. I didn't mean to imply that. I've learned that already.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:14:11 UTC from web -
@mrmattimation You allowed me to answer honestly and respectfully so I did. I think you aren't permanently ANYTHING that I said. Just...that's what you have been recently, from my experience.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:14:55 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet You are correct in that I tend to derail conversations to focus on what I do. But... I mean... People come on here to talk about their interests. My interest happens to be animation. I'm extremely passionate in this interest. And I talk about my own animation because... Well, I'm excited about it! I'm excited to finally see a year of work on this short film finally pay off. If people don't wanna here that, I'm sorry. I'll stop. As for my apparent apathy to others' problems, just know that I do care about the people here. Just a week ago I was attempting to look into ways to use my position to help out @colfax. I was extremely disheartened to learn that it isn't legal and could actually land him in lots of trouble with the cops.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:21:33 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation See? That's your defeatist attitude rearing it's head again: "If people don't wanna hear that, I'm sorry, I'll stop." I'm not saying "STFU about your animation, BUTTFACE." I'm saying, your actions have kinda defined you in the WAY that you CHOOSE to discuss the topic, and it's why you're not getting as much interest as you'd like, probably. You seem rather desperate and unsure. The first thing you say when you come in here is like, "I feel too lazy to finish my animation. But I have 10,000 people crying out for it, so it must be done. GUUHHHHHHH." You are searching for that approval. Damn, man. Just do what you want to do and enjoy what you've received. Ain't a damn person in here judging you for it. And though I may not jive with your particular sense of humor, that doesn't invalidate its effectiveness on those 10,000 people who Liked it. You should just approach the topic with a more positive outlook. People like that. People like CONFIDENCE.

@mrmattimation But at any rate, I don't have anything against you as a person and hope to get along with you. I just thought what you said to @scoot was...disrespectful, whether you meant it or not. You made light of a situation that should be taken seriously, imo.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:17:15 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet To Matt's defense in a way, he has a tendency to word things /really/ poorly by accident and then seem like he's being a huge jerk when he's really not.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:18:10 UTC from web-
@scoot Ah. Well I apologize for any bad feelings. I just needed to clarify my stance on that point as he thought something different of my outlook of him and what he has said/done. Nah, I'm not bothered by him, overall.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:19:38 UTC from web

@clayinthecarpet I truly think it's just his sense of humour, although having something akin of the sorts makes me biased. What's good-nature ribbing amongst friends, right?
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:19:53 UTC from web-
@awlderpy Well, to me it just didn't come off that way (Re: harmless) and I felt like making a statement about it. Because I was questioned and concerned,...I gave answers to clarify...

@scoot Dreadful, or angry, or frustrated, or hurt... yeah, I suppose so... usually I feel tired more than anything else, most of the time I'd like nothing more than to go to sleep and just simply never wake up.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:15:12 UTC from web-
@colfax Except that eventually this /will/ pass and then you'll be glad you didn't just fall asleep forever. Obviously I can't even imagine your situation so I can't say much without seeming overly optimistic, sorry.

@colfax Hey, with the help you're getting from here? You'll be back on your feet in no time. I know that it must be really hard, but please don't give up. I, personally, could not bear that.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:24:59 UTC from web -
@colfax Again, sorry, I can't offer more than encouraging words which are literally of no use to you right now. If I had any money to spare I'd send it your way, but I'm a poor student who eats bare minimum of food to get by as is, if I ever get a job I'll help you out as best I can but until then all I can say is I really wish I could do something, I've lost sleep thinking about ways to help you out but there's nothing I can do. Sorry, really sorry.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 03:25:02 UTC from web -
@colfax I for one am glad to still see you holding up. I wish I could give you more, or do anything more, because I kind of know how bad this thing can get. My heart goes out to you.

@awlderpy Speak for yourself. Do you know how many times I've just enjoyed helping people in here?
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:30:39 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet Ha, clearly someone hasn't read the fine print.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:31:13 UTC from web-
@awlderpy *searches for fine print*......Yeah, I'm not good at sarcasm and wit. What?
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:32:07 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet Time to see how this works http://ur1.ca/g3dy3
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:32:42 UTC from web-
@awlderpy Cooooooooooool.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:34:01 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet Did you hear the rumour
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:34:19 UTC from web-
@awlderpy Rumor?

@clayinthecarpet "don't ever take me cereal"

@awlderpy Oh I thought you meant the batpony background. XD
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:35:41 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet Oh she´s nice but yes. I have this horrible tendency to be sarcastic. -redacted joke-
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:37:12 UTC from web-
@awlderpy Your sarcasm is strange and without indication of such!
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:38:13 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet My jokes tend to be on the macabre/racist side as well; I do best not to tell such japes here.
Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:39:16 UTC from web-
@awlderpy Yeah, you'd do best at that. ;)

Monday, 25-Nov-13 02:30:55 UTC from web-
@scoot Tell them to jump in a hole.
