An attempt to change ones language and image

[Himu]

The thing about words is that they're very inflexible things. If you push, you will be pushed back. If you start conflict, conflict will find you. I realize that a lot of posts I make are opinionated and sometimes lacking in tact with far too much candor; I'll try to correct that.

What are things that you need to improve on? Post in this thread and we will help each other.

[Himu]

I appreciate that.

[Great Rumbler]

I want people to be receptive of my love for cartoon women. I mean, I know that's not, like, a really big problem when you think about people starving in Africa or whatever, but it's still important to me personally.

[Himu]

I'm fine with my personality. However, I'm working on killing my ego. I'm tired of fighting people just by my use of language.

[Raban]

well on a message board, what else is there to do but pick apart the words people choose to publish?

[Human Snorenado]

My ass is still really fat.

[Rufus]

Pretty much.

I started with something mundane, like turning off the crutch that is spell check. So far it's going OK, but it does show that I have been relying on it too much.

Next would be verbosity.

[Himu]

My ass is still really fat.

There is nothing wrong with a fat ass. Relish it. Wear tighter bottoms.

I read that first as "flat" and was like 

Then read it again and was like

thats a good thing, boy

[Eric P]

i disagree.  i think you can change your language and your attitude which will do much to change your image by extension.
i used to be a very different person in my youth.

[headwalk]

just keep a memento mori next to your monitor to remind you that all your successes, hopes and ambitions are just as temporary as your failures, fears and disappointments. then grow your hair out and go surfing.

I'm changing up my personality and going straight-up GANGSTA, BITCH.  Ya'll niccas can't fuck wit dis.

u wot, m8? r u avin a giggle, m8?

[Phoenix Dark]

Most people are opinionated online, I've only felt you were acting ridiculous a handful of times. I've acted similarly before as have others. Just remember no one is trying to attack you, therefore there's no point in being aggressive while you defend your opinions here.

[Tasty]

What prompted this?

You can be something of a drama queen but I like teasing you cause I know you can take it (usually.)

PLAYA HATERZ GET AWAY OR MY LEAD WILL SPRAY

[Tasty]

As for myself I think I've done a good job of being less sensitive (thanks, Bore) but I still catch feels sometimes when I shouldn't.

I also don't like how much of a troll I've become lately (also thanks, Bore) and a lot of my posts (especially on GAF) are a lot shorter and really intellectually lazy. I don't know why but even when there's a chance to discuss something I usually just resort to posting a Coli smiley. Surprised I haven't been banned for it yet, actually.

[Himu]

Here you go creating conflict. You said, "posts." What else would you be referring to?

Whoops. You're right. My mistake! I meant life in general, on what you're trying to improve. Not so much just your persona on the internet, but your persona off the net as well, to become a better person. What are you guys doing to try to achieve this?

[Mupepe]

I think I come off as weird sometimes.  I've been trying to fix that.  It's mostly because I hate awkward silences so I'll just say shit and sometimes I didn't quite think them through.  This actually seems to have a range of effects.  Sometimes people think I'm funny and outgoing.  Sometimes they think I'm an asshole.  It's a toss up.  I've just been trying to think a little more carefully first so I can land more in the "funny and outgoing" category.

[Himu]

I always thought they were funny.

[Mupepe]

I always thought they were funny.

And that's why I love you.  You understand me.

grindr?

[Himu]

Oh right! I made a grindr account. I should check in my inbox and post the funny messages.

[Himu]

No new messages. Oh well. Time to delete this Herpes Invitation App.

[Diunx]

My personality sucks, I used to get by thanks to my killer body in my youth but I'm a fat ass now, working on that though.

[Himu]

What do you not like about your personality?

[fistfulofmetal]

Himu is the most confrontational former Muslim african american pre-op transgender bisexual person I know.

[Diunx]

I don't talk much which is apparently a big problem in the professional and social worlds, I don't like most of the people I meet and suck at hiding it which also brings a lot of problems.

[Huff]

Weirdly, this relates as I was "reprimanded" for being too light hearted in practice patient interviews today.

I need tips on being bland and boring

whenever you think of something you want to say, first consider:

1. does this need to be said?
2. does this need to be said by me?
3. does this need to be said now?

If yes to all, say it, if not, don't.

Congrats, you are now drab as fuck.

[Shadow Mod]

If Himu gets confrontational and pissy on here I just think, lol welcome to girl hormones.

 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

In recent weeks, I've been trying to curb my negativity and cynicism.  It was one of the things people kept bringing up in a strengths/weaknesses discussion for one of my classes when I was interviewing co-workers.

I figured it was best to move from negativity to neutrality to positivity.  So expect a lot more Stoney type posts from me in the coming weeks.

[Shadow Mod]

Buddhism lite?

[chronovore]

I am judgmental and prissy; I am easily lured into righteous indignation. I'm working on it.

Yeah, I think Himumu's got some hormone adjustment going on, but this has been just an amped up version of her previous self, in terms of reactions.

[Atramental]

I need to stop posting the first thoughts that pop into my head.

[Shadow Mod]

I just need to socialize more with people around me more often to distract myself from the stupid. That and watch more documentaries since I learn things from those. I haven't really been learning much in my time spent online. Shit not worth knowing anyway. I don't need to tell IRL people about pamperchu for instance.

[chronovore]

Why did I google that?

 

[Atramental]

Oh, that reminds me.

I need to stop dumping an encyclopedia book worth of knowledge of internet shit when someone I know IRL brings up shit like "pamperchu" or Chris-Chan.

I get that "Oh my god, you're a total internet special fellow." look from them.   

It's been months since I've done that but I really should keep that shit to myself.

[Shadow Mod]

Why did I google that?

 

Shit sorry that was no better.

[Stoney Mason]

Stoney seems more like the neutral path to me. It could be positive, it could be negative

The generally neutral post tone approach is both half a reflection of how I really am and how I want to be. Most posts I make are generally the 3rd version of that post. The first two are generally far more snarky and assholish. After I read them though I'm generally embarrassed and try for the tone of a rationale human being. Also I outright reject and eventually delete or don't make about half my posts. After about 5 minutes I realize whatever I wanted to post in the heat of the moment was ill-advised.

If I could improve anything it would be the amount of times I just walk away from an argument both online and real life especially if I'm annoyed. I'm better at it than I've ever been but occasionally somebody pisses me off and then the underneath asshole comes to the surface.

 

[Positive Touch]

typing up the first shit that pops into your head and saying fuck the consequences is the best way to internet

[Atramental]

Well, the last time I went on a spree of not giving a shit about what I said on the internet this happened:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=435270

 

Though, I still get bizarre and terrifying dreams over the whole ordeal. Probably because my current job is comprised primarily of BJU grads. 

I really need to leave this area ASAP.

[Himu]

look at all these wankers taking shit way the fuck too seriously in here

Eh, well, I'm not even talking about online. I'm talking about life in general. Surely you would like to improve something about yourself? Sorry the first post was just lacking in details.

[Positive Touch]

I really need a psychologist and an ass whuppin ASAP.

indeed

[Atramental]

I have a lot of needs.

I bet I'll be making Martin Raperman-esque posts in the not so distant future If I don't get my shit sorted out soon. 

[Joe Molotov]

Did you at least upper-deck a few toilets on the way out of Bob Jones? I'm sure it would have made you feel better.

[Steve Contra]

At least you're quite a ways away from making real life Father Mike/Buffalo Bill decisions.

[Atramental]

My rebellious nature is much more passive-aggressive.

I'll talk shit behind your back but I won't shit in your toilet's tank.

Oscar, I'm going to send you some AKB48 postcards, and a Steve Jobs dakimakura. Fulfill ALL yo' needs.

[Shaka Khan]

Somewhat unrelated, but I saw this picture and thought of you, Himu:



Never change.

[Sausage]

Oh, that reminds me.

I need to stop dumping an encyclopedia book worth of knowledge of internet shit when someone I know IRL brings up shit like "pamperchu" or Chris-Chan.

I get that "Oh my god, you're a total internet special fellow." look from them.   

It's been months since I've done that but I really should keep that shit to myself.

I shared that pamperchu screen cap with my friends. Usually when I show them fucked up internet shit they laugh and say shit like "bro where do you find this shit?"

This time tho, no response

That's when you know you've scarred them for life homie.

The fuck are you on about?  Most of the canceled stuff is public knowledge via people's resumes and LinkedIn.  Go google a little bit.

And don't you fucking EVER dare to put the "anti-Japan" shtick in my mouth.  I never said it, and I never would.  You little piece of shit.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Guys, it's 2013. For people who are turning 18 (born in 1995) this year, there never was a separation between real life and the internet. It's all one in the same. We will be judged for our internet sins.

Not as long as we are in power.
