Negativity just seems to create more negativity. Change begins within yourself so I'm making the first step. No more Internet e thugging for me, no talking bad about people, might even try and help others etc.. Mostly in real life. I'll be nicer here too.

Anyone else ever make similar change in their lives?

same here man. i'm trying to be more positive, less 'trolling'. some posters though bring out the blah in me.
 
I decided to take my Elite Member title way too seriously and did the same when I was awarded it. It kind of feels like you're helping to try to keep the Internet from becoming an unfriendlier place.
 
So...what? Are you trying to be all high and mighty with your 'positive thinking'? You think you're better than the rest of us now?

FWIW, I used to be a quasi jack ass on the internet and in real life. It's hard work cleaning up your attitude about things, but it's worth it. People actually like talking to me now 🙂

I'm trying to change myself for the better. Did I guarantee 100% success?
I use to be a real first class f@ck up. I went to prison at 18 years old. In prison they'd tell us that within 6 months 2/3 of the people their would be back. Considering I was a complete f up till that point in my life the odds were definitely against me. So many people were saying i would just be back in. Either straighten up or face a life behind bars. Well long story short it's been over 10 years and I've become a productive member of society. I'm not some huge success or anything but I'm definitely proud of the progress I've made. Cleaning up my attitude is another thing I'd like to clean up. I really made this thread to remind myself of my goal. So I really don't listen to the naysayers anymore.
 
You should go to church. That's what started it for me a few years back. That and having children. Good luck either way.
 
I always try to hold the door open for others. I also always try to thank people for things, no matter how small or meaningless they might seem.

Um, that's called common courtesy. (And it ain't just a AT mod) :colbert: If you don't do that then usually you're a dick because you're not adhering to social norms that benefit others.
