Is that Spanish, I never knew that you spoke Spanish, do you speak Spanish and English or just the former.  

I mostly speak English, but I can speak Spanish pretty decently.

It was, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Probably most posts on this site are to get attention. Even in-person interactions with other people are that person asking for attention. You don’t talk to somebody (or asK A QUESTION) for them to not give you attention.

I’m not spending 18 months finding and quoting each point made above.

@Dark Overlord, the best thing you can do for yourself is to find a way to accept yourself so you can begin to like who you are. How you do that I don’t know but it seems to me that a large part of your actions on here, which have improved but do have some way to go, stem from your inner issues and past experiences. I don’t believe anyone is a lost cause, however, and, to be honest, you’re fortunate that the mods and posters on here are how they are as many forums which would have banned you a while ago. That’s not a threat, there has been a positive change in how you have been and my advice is to learn from your past, take the negatives and use them to better yourself not beat yourself with them.

Additionally, be mindful of the language you use. Often you do have a fair point to make however the language used takes the focus away.

When you say language, are you referring to obscenities, how I say things, or a little bit of both.

I don’t know mmm’s response, but mine is a little of both. The foul language is growing less and less, which is much appreciated. I think you give advice too much when people aren’t looking for it.

Both. One reason for the lack of swearing and demeaning language is that people of all ages, backgrounds etc visit and contribute to the forum and we would prefer they were not exposed to such terms being used.

It’s been said to others before, you’re not the first and you won’t be the last.

I understand although I do think that throwing in an f bomb can be good once in a while to put emphasis on something, similar to “frankly dear, I don’t give a damn” from Gone With The Wind, although I’d hate to see forum users swearing like this guy.

[Image Can Not Be Found]

I’m not going to go into too much detail but he uses obscenities like as if they were pronouns, the obscenities in his series are supposed to be comedic but I’d hate to see someone speak like that on this forum.

If you don’t use those words often, when you do pull one out, people know you are really wanting to emphasize a point.

Yeah, a couple of swear words every Now And Then is fine to add emphasis (I do it myself occasionally) but keep it to a minimum.

Here’s a fun fact, just because you have black and white film doesn’t mean you can’t get color out of it, you just need 3 filters, one for red, one for green, and one for blue.

^^^ yeah, quite odd. While it doesn’t bother me, I gather it bothers AG and swr!

 

While we’re on the topic of self-improvement, is there anything I do that annoys anyone? I’m on a self-improvement kick at the moment, so I’d like to know!  

@The Hole Got Fixed  I’d say the only thing that annoys me about you is how cute your avatar is. UGH! a-hard-days-night-george-10

This sounds like a very stupid question but is Joe’s real name Joe or does he just use it as a name online.

@Dark Overlord – Read this https://www.beatlesbible.com/about/ and come back and tell us the answer.

@Joe doesn’t have the job he mentions anymore. He will get around to updating the page.
