Have you changed since your first day in PC?

    Since your first day at PC, or even before you joined PC, do you think you've changed? As in mentally, emotionally, or the way you act towards others? I don't mean it Pokemon-wise.

    As for me; I think I've matured over my time here. Mostly in a positive way. I can communicate with other people without worrying about what they think of me. How have any of you changed?

    (If this thread has been created before, or if it's in the wrong section, please close it. :O )
     
    I've only been here for two months, so unsurprisingly, I haven't changed in any fundamental manner. But, PC has certainly improved me both intellectually, and socially, I think, as it has given me opportunity to converse with people at my level.
     
    I've been here for almost 2 years, and I have to say I've changed much. I only post threads after I've searched for duplicate ones and my internet life has matured much from my time on this site. And to think, it was all because I wanted to play shinygold D8
     
    Well I haven't been here long, but I think I've found the right place for me to chill out at the end of the day! So that will help me calm down a fair bit.
    If that's relevant? haha
     
    I've changed dramatically. Mainly in the way I type.
     
    I have changed positively. Srsly, I was so...fail when I first joined. At least now I've become a better person to other people.
     
    No. I have not changed much... Is that a bad thing?
     
    Yes, plenty. I've learned new things from the PokeCommunity, and it has changed me for the better and for the worse.
     
    I'd honestly like to say that I've changed much since I joined PC last year, but honestly, nothing else apart from grammatical changes has happened. Even then, not many differences come to mind. I'd also like to say that I've become less self-centered, less arrogant, less all-round egotistic. But no, far from that. In fact, I've become worse. Torn and frayed friendships, insulted and disgusted everyone around me and foremost screwed my social life altogether. Much has to be corrected but I hardly see myself doing that without nuking everyone else in the process. I'd also like to state that the people I talk to wouldn't deign with me, but it's the truth. They'd also say that I'm beating myself up and I'm not like that, but who knows you more than yourself? Emotions may cloud judgement, but this is not one of the cases.

    Posting wise, I've pretty much broken every rule here and probably will not live another year on this forum, sadly. Maybe the forum will be better off without my nonsensical posting and illiterate contributions. Well, not contributions. Must use right words and less sarcasm. I mean, all I've done is SPAM and pleasure the destructive force known as my mind, hardly something to look back on and smile on, frown more like. For example: picking a fight with everyone I meet and always publicly, the least I could do is do it in private where the mortal eyes of the forum can't see and critique on it. Once again, my ...associates (for lack of a better word, because I can't exactly call them friends when I'm not one) would say that I've made them laugh and I have done things for the forum. But honestly? I look back and I don't even want to make the mental connection that I said that, that I posted that. I don't want to acknowledge what I've done, but they'll always be a ghost for all to see. My arrogance on show, narcissism on exhibition. I see that I'm a failure when it comes to posting and always will be, examples would be throughout my postcount. The entire postcount. Worthless, all of it. even when I try to make good posts, some sort of snide and evil comment comes in, shattering what could've been something..worthy. When you picture pathetic, do you picture a snivelling man in a corner? I picture myself. Well, I'd rather not, but thats what it is.

    Now we come to one of my greatest forum related shames, blogging. Ugh, they've all been spur-of-the-moment failures. I'll sum it up in one word. Crap. Not much to dwell on here, they're all connected by that same word and they're all miserably thought of.

    Hmm. Maturity is kinda non-existant, rather not dwell on that either.

    There you have it, my incomprehensible post on myself here, deigning with the truth.
     
    Yeah, I've changed since my first day here.

    I didn't change to conform, or to be more generally accepted, but rather, I grew up. I started an account on this forum back in the first few weeks of high school, and am now posting this as a full-time college student.

    A lot has changed in my life during these last four years, but I'd like to think that I've been shaped into a better person because of it, and I would love to think that the new me is reflected back upon this community. Not to mention, my grammar has definitely been given a nice little upgrade after sticking around here for so long. o/

    Just a corny little piece for ya'll. :3
     
    Well considering I joined when I was 12 1/2 and I'm just about 17. I think it's safe to say I've changed considerably. Though I reckon my social skills haven't changed much because I haven't had much of that in my life. XD
     
    When I first joined I never used to shave, now I do.

    Post wise, not really, just seemingly ruder.
     
    You mean aside from the fact that I was a 15-year-old socially awkward high school student when I joined and am now a 22-year-old socially awkward college student? Hell yeah...

    I won't bore the relative newbies with the details, but PC wasn't always the peaceful place it is now, and most of the conflict in '04-'05 revolved around me, my friends, and our overall immaturity and we dragged in a few other then-staff members. After this conflict reached a head, several of the members involved and I voluntarily left PC for a while. During this era, I had time to learn from my mistakes, so that when I came back to the forums a couple months ago under a new account, I was much more mature, open-minded, laid-back, and level-headed than I was when I was actually an S-mod here. XD

    so, yeah, that's a positive change for me. :P

    I should think I have. Going from PokéSpecial+Oldrivalshipping freak, to Sprite Comic freak, to the Pixel Art Moderator, to Ex-staff, to Mod again, to Funtime Moderator, to Other Voting Polls Moderator, to Ex-staff once again, to OVP Mod again, to Other Clubs moderator...you can tell I've been on a bit of a rocky road. Not counting the times I've actually left the staff you can say I've been a moderator for almost four years. And I feel that's done a lot to mature me and see things from a better angle than I did in the past, that's how much PC impacted on me and I'm very grateful for that.
     
    I have so much! First of all I was spamming and stuff. Now I'm mature[On PC at least XDD] And, I've stopped that and got used to this place!
     
    Yes, I have changed since my first day in PC. I must say that the change has only been positive.
    Moreover, I've revealed a little bit more of my true personality over time here.
    My internet experience has improved, and the best thing is that I got to meet a lot of different types of people here.
    This place has provided with discussions with people around the world, so I have a better understanding of perspectives.
    My self-esteem has improved, and I have learned to be myself rather than trying to fit in.
