With a community like osu!, it is almost to no surprise that people will change after being here for a certain length of time.

People develop different habits, feelings, emotions, skills and they can learn different things about each other. Maybe you learned how to get better at playing osu!; maybe you learned to be a different person; maybe you learned how to use editor mode to make your own maps and to mod other people's maps; maybe you enjoy talking and connecting with different people from around the world and maybe there is that special someone in your mind that you want to keep by your side forever.

For myself, osu! helped me understand that while hard work is important, hard work alone is not enough. Making connections with different people and combining that with hard work is essential to success in the real world.

So how has osu! changed you?

For me, osu! teach me to always practice and do not give up when you can't finish a map or something else like mapping. Your hard work and practice is important thing. Remember to ask someone if need you help, there are always people will help you.

No need to rush yourself to be the best
Be patience and always practice~

Nothing much to say. I just wanna say Hi to all of you

It taught me to have fun and not worry about being better than others, or feeling bad that I'm not the best.

I tolerate weeaboos and Vocaloid way less than what I used to. Also I watch anime way less. And whenever I watch anime, I skip the openings and endings.

I now get really depressed about everything, then forget about everything which I was depressed about when I play this fucking addictive piece of work.

I've been watching more anime as I discover them while playing Osu!mania. I love this as it makes the search for a new anime require less time!

I also must add that my hand eye coordination has improved? well, not only that, but I'm enjoying music even more than I used to!
I love osu! ^_^

I'm pretty much the same way.

At least it shows that practice will make one better. If only I could apply that to something else, like drawing or playing a musical instrument.

It's taught me that you can never match a dollar value to how much a game will entertain you. osu! is definitely one of the most enjoyable online experiences I've had in a long while without even needing to spend a dime to play. (of course though I still like to contribute as a supporter)

Also through osu! I've learned some basic music theory,

and that Giralda can see into the future.
all planned.

Osu! has taught me how to control my anger, I guess that can be a carried lesson.
I only recently began osu! and watching anime, about half a year for anime, and like 3 months for osu!, but since I began osu! I watched less and less anime.
My first few months of anime any show I began to watch I'd marathon. 25-50 Episodes in 2-3 days, easy. Now I struggle to finish 12 episode series in a week.

Developed a bit of a weeaboo side since installing the game 4 years ago. I barely watched anime or had any touch with any kind of this stuff before osu, I just started playing back then cause I liked rythm games.

I sometimes blink in time and move my eyes with the music I listen to. When there's not too much people around, that is. Midday bus rides are fun for that, and I literally took none of them before I started playing osu!.
