It scares me for some weird reason :oops: but I like osu! and its own community in some ways! :)
I mean like; every post I made and someone replying to it, that gets me scared/freaked out.
/edit I forgot to add this:
I always do feel that every post I make I feel I grow some confidence into the osu! community. :)
Wait.. I meant before, I'm perfectly happy and do feel that the osu! community is nice but it makes me feel scared.

(You know now, that I look at this post... is it a positive post or a negative post?)

It can be a bit intimidating at first, but I do my part by posting as many moe gifs as possible :3
here's one, just for you~

Nothing to be scared about though, it's just the internet –
although I suppose if you usually use facebook, etc than forums are a different experience

so pretty much this thread's poll is proof that a 1-10 rating system is flawed after 3 votes

Naturally, I do my best to scare off anyone who comes in my way whom I haven't known for 3 years already~

Although, I have to ask something.
If you're so scared of the osu! community, then why would you go out of your way to make a thread literally directed at the osu! community of which is what makes you scared in the first place...? :/ If you get nervous with making posts, why make an entire thread describing the way you specifically feel....?

If you're scared because you get bad feedback often, then maybe you should try to think about what you're doing in the first place. The easiest way to avoid being antagonized (and gaining confidence imo) is being able to look like you know exactly what you're doing. It's probably kind of hard to do at first, but as you get used to it, you build confidence. Also, it helps to not be a 13 year old.

I really hate those people who ask in #osu how to play this game without even giving a damn to read the FAQs, or even the tutorial. ><

I don't really get involved with the community per se. Maybe join a tournament here when there is one, but that's really it. I guess I don't really have a reason to be scared with it.

OMG when I first join osu! I was extremely scared to even chat and post on the forums, because I thought someone is going to either troll report me or a moderator was going to ban me on sight, even if I didn't do anything wrong. I immediately log out of osu! when I spot one orz. Thankfully today, I'm still a bit nervous to chat to a moderator unless if they are my friend, but I'm more confident than before when a random player or moderator happens to chat with me.

To be honest, osu! was the first friendly forum I ever visited and I feel comfortable here. I strongly apologize if I happened to somehow offend you guys in any way. This is just me trying to control my fear (I'm just really scared). I'm a really friendly person, so please don't be afraid to chat with me. :D

You don't fuck with them, they don't fuck with you.

The only flaw is the newfags, but luckily they are not much of a threat due to moderators.

I agree that the community can be intimidating at times. As a newcomer, it takes some adjusting to get used to it. After some time though, you will find that most of the people here are friendly enough and usually quite interesting. As BeatofIke said, it will eventually feel comfortable.

It doesn't for me. Osu! is so far the nicest community I've met, since I have internet. I played CS 1.6 and LoL before, that should explain everything.

Half of the community annoys me and half of it intimidates me. Few am I friendly with, and even those sometimes fall into one of the two categories. As a community driven game, however, it is pretty hard to do anything in regards to mapping or modding unless one is more social... It is something I need to work on myself as well.

It's really hard to post something at first, even if get replied, first thing comes to mind is "did I do something wrong? o-o;;;"
But, if you already used to it, things would go fine. :3

words can hurt, especially sensitive people
every person is capable of hurting others and some have pleasure from doing so or are doing that unconsciously while being directed by their true nature
sadly there's no selection in nowadays world and innocent people get hurt by those kinds of people.

Learn to have thick skin then. Being overly sensitive is not a positive trait to have.

Of course, being kind is also important. But I feel like some people nowadays are way too sheltered and sensitive to criticism.

There are some people in this community who have done some very, very horrible things, and they haven't even been banned.

It doesn't scare me, but I'm not particularly fond of it. On almost every thread I've read there's atleast 1 person having a bitch about how unoriginal or useless the thread is. Unless there's some contructive critism in there, then no one gives a fuck ;>.>

in my opinion there's no negative or positive traits one can have, there are just differences
for example lets say that someone is pessimistic, it may be beneficial that this person isn't expecting too much of themselves thus doesn't get hurt if things go in wrong direction, on the other hand it may limit someone's capability if he is too pessimistic.
i think that "traits" aren't set on stone in person, you can change things if you want to, it's just that individual develops them over time and by that defines himself as a person, which means that those "traits" are developed on their own or by their environment, it just depends on what trait you want to take a look at.
sensitive people tend to overthink some situations and possibly learn to avoid such as it hurts them, and on the other hand if something positive happens to them they overthink it too so they're happier than a "normal" person would be, there's just so many variables in such things..
so to conclude this i think that being sensitive isn't something negative, there are different views on it.

But the thing is he's talking about a context over the internet where being overly sensitive to what a random stranger says to you is not a positive trait at ALL to have. ESPECIALLY over the internet where people will say anything with no remorse or regards to the person it's directed towards as it's just the internet, they'll never meet in person and the person will never feel bad over something they said in chat as they won't know how it effects the person. They probably wouldn't give a shit about what it does to the person either.

Learning to have thick skin and not being sensitive over the internet is always a good thing. It's also good for real life encounters.

Also this is really ironic cause I'm a huge asshole in #osu. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

i guess you gotta balance things out, like with everything in life
being able to take criticism is good thing as you can be better person just by listening to what others have to say
and being overly sensitive to dumb people isn't so wise too
