How did OSU! improved your day by day skills?

Well, in my case, I use to play a lot league of legends using my tablet pen - and since I've started to play OSU, I saw a decent improvement in my reaction time.
Another point that is noteworthy is that I used to have a little trembling on my both hands, and hovering the pen over the tablet while having to aim it, have helped me alot too.

What about you?

Did you see any improvement in your life since you've started to play osu?

My reflexes have improved by like 100%. Also my eyes spot more than they used to. For example: yesterday I was walking outside (yes, I go outside sometimes) and my head turned "automatically" down, and guess what, there was a bug right there.

Helped as an outlet for dealing with shit at home. 'twas an escape from living.

Besides, I had a love for music anyways, and it also helped me discover new artists and delve a bit deeper into new genres.

can't say i'm certain it improved my reaction time drastically considering I already had good reflexes before I started playing. one thing I am sure about is that it made me discover things as well keeping me calm and relaxed

irl i never take an interest on something and i get bored really fast

since i'm playing osu its always telling me "hey, why don't you try it one more time" just like what i always think when fail on passing the beatmap that i like (i'm a casual player) and likely its influence my personality irl

i still remember when i was on a drama club and saying its boring and in the end i still not quiting cause "hey, why don't you try it again? maybe its getting interesting next time" in my mind
and still decide not quiting until now lol

sorry bad grammar

Higher ar than 10 made my eyes go fast. By this i have a little more time to react to different events.
Training high bpms made me coordinate my movements faster aswell.
Training high acc on high od's gives me a better concentration in general (but sometimes that's an issue because i ignore other people when im thinking in something too much)

The only real improvement I've seen is that I can use my pencil to write for longer without pain when drafting essays. I also hold my pencil a little differently than I used to.

Socialising on the forums helps me to get more used to socialising, because I've lived quite an isolating lifestyle all my life. Socialising has always been a huge fear of mine. I'm already making large improvements. I don't know who I am anymore. I used to be so withdrawn even online and now I'm taking up tons of the Osu! forums and potentially making a friend. I have help with socialising in the real world as well and going to places I would usually find a complete nightmare to even think about. The forums do help a lot with this, too. I find myself overthinking what to say less and I realise that people aren't usually as horrible as sources such as the news try to make out.

As for the game, feeling that I've done well makes me feel good about myself. I have very low self confidence and always felt that I don't deserve good in life. I'd rather do poor in my GCSEs and know that it made someone else do good because it's a competition sort of thing, than to take the good scores I feel I don't deserve due to my poor mental health, and this inner conflict drives me crazy. This sort of thinking is pretty depressing. Spending ages trying to complete a map and finally passing or FCing it gives me a huge boost! It's possible to be happy about progress while not thinking of it as a competition due to the single player mode. I'm hoping to maybe have more confidence with competitiveness in the future.

TL;DR: Osu! is pretty therapeutic.

it helps speed/reaction time to certain things irl which could be useful. Such as sports, And being able to do little things such as saving something after almost dropping it. It can also help with overrall skill in gaming. in games such as call of duty, you need to be able to react to someone shooting at u or finding someone to shoot at. if you cant do this fast enough you'll end up dying fairly quick. i also find enjoyment in showing off to my friends. And in recent years, osu has gained popularity from the fortnite community for practicing aim.

in general
  1. I've made a lot of friends bcuz of it
  2. I felt like I belonged in a community which was nice
  3. I started the game pretty young so as a result, I was given a lot of advice from much older players about life and I think it's made me wiser someway
  4. I got better at typing lul
  5. Got better music

mostly actual life stuff outside of games
actual game wise, uh i guess the game helped me improved my reaction time

I have been playing since I was 10 years old back in 2009. It hasn't helped me at all really, I suck at every other rhythm game, and in terms of other games I play like CS:GO there's no effect (because trying to emulate the same sensitivity from a 3d to a 2d game is hard).

If I DID have to say something though, I ended up meeting some pretty cool osu! people IRL in my university and in my local anime con...lol
