Haha! Before I was a gmod at PE2K I literally did not venture out of the Pokemon Discussion board I was a mod of. I was too scared to even post in the staff forum because I found everyone else so intimidating. xDDD

Ikr, I was hesitant to join a competitive clan back in PE2K, but I really wanted to learn how to battle competitively and I became pretty good friends with my clan, and a few of the other competitive battlers. It was a decision that I'm glad I made back then.

The battling clans looked really fun in their prime! I always felt like they were the cool kid's table haha!

I know! Now I get to be the scary one! >:D

Actually I think one of the reasons I try hard not to be scary is because I used to be so scared of staff. xD

I know that feel. I rarely venture from my usual lurking grounds. Not cause I fear people though- I just never know what to say. Also I find being social stressful at times. Like when I post and no one responds to my post and I think I said something wrong or I dunno. Social anxiety. xD I try to get through it, but it's tough. I've never been great with people nor do I have much confidence when it comes to social situations. I guess that's why I like to post art/comics. I can make people happy without actually having to be social. -shot-

-goes back to lurking-

I get you. I am like on the opposite end where people reply to my posts and then I don't know what to say cos I can't come up with anything interesting, so I sometimes don't reply. :'(

I try to make it a point to respond to as many posts directed at me as possible. It's a habit from comics/art I guess. I always appreciate the feedback and replies, so I want to make sure I get back to them as a sort of 'Thanks for taking the time to post!' or something. It can be quite hard to figure out what to say sometimes though. Aaaaahhhh. Why must being social be so difficult? </3

Yeah that's a really good policy to have. I was admiring @Soups; way of creating conversations by replying to everyone who posted in one of the threads he made. :D I'e gotta try and do that more!

Considering how much we all seem to struggle with being social, it's amazing this forum is doing so well. XD

Hah! I do reply to 95% of the posts made in my threads... well... when there ARE posts to reply to. I swear I can be cursed in where many of my threads just die. xD I TRY THOUGH. -flails-

And then there's the times I don't get mentions and don't even notice people have posted in the thread for a few days........... -sighs loudly- LIKE TODAY. xD Only just now noticed some.
