If you LP something without a storyline (say, one of the Civ games), you can do some creative writing to go along with it.

I got kicked out of a Rust community.
Worst of all was the reason.

"It's not that we don't trust you. We trust you completely. We just don't like you."

Well fuck. Personality self-improvement binge, Go!

Why do you feel the need to change yourself because they don't like you? It's their problem if they don't like you. You might want to ask them why they don't like you, but that doesn't mean you need to change to suit them. Find another, slightly more accepting group of people to play with!

Try not to discourage people from genuine self improvement because of a belief that the primal state of a person is somehow desirable.

Try not to assume that completely unknown people know what "genuine" self improvement is.

There are plenty of qualities that are cannot be objectively defined as "good" or "bad" but might rub certain people the wrong way. For these, it's best to find a group one actually meshes with, rather than conforming.

Sometimes its difficult not to react that way, but you should always try to catch yourself when you do.

Keep in mind that this is the same game where if you play on a public server you're likely to be killed by someone random regardless of it being a survival crafting game.

I don't like games like this because of the community. Don't let it get to you.

[Pnx]

Back to being heavily depressed again. I'm not really sure what to do about it.

I find myself wondering if I maybe need a "me" project to take up, but I'm not sure what that project would be exactly.

I suppose I could try pursuing a writing project of some sort. Or try doing one of those LP's I've wanted to do for so damn long. I don't know.

Combine the two; do a written lp?

Yeah, I have actually done that sort of thing a bit before, though I don't really think there's any games that take my fancy that would work for that style of LP.

Feeling inexplicably ill today for some reason, and I have plans.
Hopefully plenty of water and some toast gets me feeling better.

Come up with your own meta-narrative. Or just do alternate character interpretation across the board. Don't let the game tell you what it thinks the actually story should be.

I trust that the person who's actually wanting to improve themself knows more about themself than a stranger on the internet.

If it's not weevils, it might be a grain moths.

I think you are right. Their larvae look identical to the one I found.

I'm out of steam for programming, I can't code ;_;

Hnng you reminded me of that.

I was questioning the motivation to self-improve as opposed to the act itself.

Improving yourself because some other people have a problem with who you are isn't a good idea, as not everyone you meet is going to like you, and for an infinite number of possible reasons. Tack said they have an abrasive personality and, like you say, since I'm a stranger on the internet and thus don't know them, I couldn't possibly comment, but that doesn't need an overhaul of personality to improve.

Indeed I would suggest the fact that Tack is empathic enough to realise that some aspects of their personaity aren't appealing to people would negate the need for that much self-improvement. Surely the goal of self-improvement is to increase your sense of self-worth, as opposed to making yourself less unappealing to others?

Also apology to Tack for discussion of them and their problem in third person. I really don't like doing that.
