    Oh rabbits, I really appreciate that, mate. Like, things are always so much better when we have a kinder, more reasonable, more gentler setting, is it not?

    I was worried I was going to dip down to the 3 page of the community ranks before the tournament kicked off. Now I’m almost back to the first. New subs are down, so I feel I’ve peaked. There’s commenters I don’t see come by anymore and I feel they got bored with me. Someone new will post and get way more views than my stuff. There’s always something.

    Wait, what???
    Ah, okay, I think I get you right there? But bloody-hell (and muvvle-fluffle) mate, absolutely NO-ONE would be able to keep up with that schedule…! (like, is that a TRUE reason to beat yourself up?)

    It’s like… you set records that should NOT be able to be broken, and then you break them!

    Mssr-- you make me proud across a perfect LATITUDE of reasons, cheesy as that may sound, haha. Yet… well… come on. *When* exactly do you get to recognise yourself, right?

      When exactly do you get to recognise yourself, right?

      “Real me” is a quiet introvert with no sense of self esteem and medicated but still existing major depression. So… never! 😅

      You guys get my professional face. I’m here doing my job. It gives me focus and purpose I need. I got all this research to share with you because I’m rather hermit-ish and would rather be learning than doing most things.

      When you guys tell me I’m doing good, I do believe you. But my wiring doesn’t let me tell me that. I don’t beat myself up about it so negatively anymore, but it keeps me pushing forward constantly.

      I try to make my shortcomings work for me. I’m glad I get to make so many of you happy. This is more attention and a bigger audience than I would have ever believed I’d have or would have wanted. But I’m not anyone extraordinary, I’m just trying to be the best me.
