Hi, just want to clarify.

Modding is just a thing for every person to shove their opinions on what you should add or change.
Quite frankly, that's the whole purpose of the term modding. It gives personal feedback on its praising and flaws of a beatmap, and whether you want to accept it or a few reasons why you believe you want to keep it that way.

I decided that modding is not worth it and I will improve myself.
Trust me, you will need some feedbacks once in a while if there's something amiss in your beatmaps or needs adjusting. Improving yourself, fine that's on you. But your knowledge of mapping just stays in that level because you don't expand your opinions and share your idea within the community.

Modding is full of differing opinions on what to add or change on the same section. For example, one person says fix the spacing between the notes, and make the slider axis consistent. Then one person says all it needs is a remap. Then the next fucking says that the vocals wasn't to be fucking mapped in the first goddamn place. MY GOD, I'M GOING FUCKING INSANE!
That is up to you to decide. If all are very much valid reasons, you can adjust based on its feedbacks. And that my friend, is how you have a new idea about mapping. So next time when you're creating a new beatmap, you can refer to those feedbacks - or even adjusting it to your own likings, and make better maps. Surely, seeing a ton of feedbacks are headaches. But to understand a true pain of it, let's take some examples I found:
beatmapsets/761041/discussion/1600415/timeline - osu!
beatmapsets/1042815/discussion/2179670/timeline - osu!taiko
beatmapsets/1784352/discussion/3654417/timeline - osu!catch
beatmapsets/1784352/discussion/3654417/timeline - osu!mania
I know some examples aren't truly the best, but imagine a person who have to deal with modding in a long timed beatmap, fixing what's need to be fixed. Yet, their perseverance and dedication is there and handles it well enough. Not only the mapper, but the time took for modders to check the maps are really hard to, to know where and what to be said to improved. It's all time consuming. If you said you're going insance just because of it, I can say they're causing a riot over these intense feedbacks they've got.
Bottom line, don't be dreaded and call it "toxic" just because a lot of people give feedbacks on the same section of the song.

Point is, modding is just opinions. You just gotta get lucky that any random users going through your arse maps somehow finds one of them that they like and decides to hype it.
True, lucky is one. But, if they "hate" everything what you made, do you need to be so bitchy about it? Being all like "toxic toxic toxic toxicity" just because of that one simple of no likes of what you've made? Clearly, there's a reason why they don't like it is because the map's not polished or well made, and comparing to other maps they've compared, they need to help you improve by giving a brutal honest like Simon Cowell in any idol contest. I want you to make a quality map, fix whatever parts that need to be fixed and listen to what others have told you to. I'm sure there's one in a millions of osu! player likes your maps.
Also, don't just depend on likes. It's not balance. If you care much about likes and abandoned the critical ones, you're something wrong. As the saying goes, failure is success. Take anything - likes and criticism, and jot down what do you really think is true. And this is not an opinion I've shared, this is an advice.

Then you gotta hope the map is good enough to satisfy the equally opinionated beatmap nominators and gets enough hypes to be ranked.
In your dreams. Don't aim that high if you still can't solve the inner problems yet.

Project Loved is just as bad and opinionated, if not worse than going for ranked.
Sorry Blushing, this person offended you.

Likewise, THAT_otaku had already mentioned that this is no diary blog, yet you're still here doing the same thing. Everyone including me has their own struggles. But why can't shared here, this forum is meant for discussions or help. You can ask for emotional support from your close friends.
And importantly to yourself: Don't be a selfish and egoistic person. Based on your attitude, you're really are some guy who just can't loses. Stand up for yourself and don't be arrogant.
Ouch JustABeginner, that hurts-
Get over it. Things aren't made from fairytale. I've been there, overcome it. :]

The rest of them I leave it to you to decide whether you want to change yourself or not.
