I first want to acknowledge that your concessions are fair for the most part and I thank you for responding, but I think that the true takeaway from this is image. Additionally, your conclusion I accept mostly, but will take it as-is prior to the latter part of my post, that you do mean this for at least positive results, at most, a noble goal. Op seems to imply the following questions through the mixing of controlled, withheld accusation and omitted intent—Are you being positive to merely appear positive and wholesome to others? Are you attempting to appear this way solely for others' gratification? Seth, I genuinely think you are a great person, and I've known you on this forum for quite some time, but I don't know exactly what I've been upset about lately—is it overbearing? Does it seem disingenuous? Is it some vain pursuit for artificial positivity? I don't think not, and I take each of these questions with more than a grain of salt, and I hope none of these are true.
Hope I didn't rub anyone the wrong way. If you want to take it to PMs, Seth, I understand.
those are some pretty good points. it's the latter because i really do like trying to make others feel good, but i admittedly also do it for myself a lil because i think it's still fun to be like this anyway. but i don't do it to appear like i'm positive or wholesome just to make people think i am

this sticks out like a sore thumb to me because who says stuff like this lol?
the point i want to illustrate (that op was trying to make?) is that gr8dayseth repeatedly inserts himself with comments that put himself on a pedestal or makes himself the center of attention constantly not because he cares about being nice but because he cares about the status of being the 'nice guy'.
like i mentioned earlier, i just like acknowledging people like this cus idk i'd feel bad if i didn't. however i may do it also cus i sorta like sharing those kinda things too sometimes but trust me it's not in the intent of "guys look at how nice everyone else thinks i am wow i'm so likable" but i can see how it could come off that way
admittedly i probably do it a bit too much yeah
my only problem with seth is that he tries to add his plantsona or whatever it's called in any opportunity he gets.
other than that, he's one of the "ok" people on the forums because he's not trolling people with his clique.
ya occasionally someone else might bring up a good opportunity and i just can't resist, that's another thing i'm toning down too because i can totally understand how that can be annoying
just read the whole post. i'm glad and thank you that you took everything into consideration, are trying to tone it down, and explaining yourself. dramas over i guess lol
thank you as well, i've actually been looking for a reason to say that i'm actively trying to tone myself down a couple notches because not many people seemed to have noticed yet, probably since i do still post silly every now and then but it's pretty reduced now than how i used to be
and also thank you for settling this maturely as well, kinda wish all drama here were as simple as that lol
