I have not made the best decisions on College Confidential, and I am afraid I have significantly damaged my reputation here. My posts have been among the most toxic on the forums, irradiating with cynicism and negativity. It was never my intent to use College Confidential the way I do, and what started as a way to help me make a final decision on where I would attend college, it has slowly became the place I go to vent all my anger on. There are some problems I have legitimately experienced, and many of my posts are true, but the way I have treated people here is terrible. I will admit I need some serious help. I ask for advice, but I do not know how to accept it. I want to be seen as kind yet I only seem to destroy people and the help they so generously offer. I would like to acknowledge a few of the people who have helped me, and also apologize to everyone here for abusing their kindness. I want to start over again. I know my reputation will not fade from memory of the constant rejection of advice and harsh tones, but I hope I can begin to work on myself and become a better person. It is nothing but harmful to me and other people. I am still not entirely aware of the origin of my issues. It may be attention-seeking or the lack of support. It may be the results of a sheltered childhood or a pessimistic personality. I do not want to make excuses. I’ve made too many already. I ask for everyone to please accept my most sincere of apologies, and also the understanding to be patient with me as I want to make a positive change for the better.
Thanks for your post.
To me it seems that most of the people who post here are either students and mostly quite young, or parents or grandparents. We should all understand that young people have only seen a little bit of life, and will react accordingly. The most important thing is to learn over time, and do better in the future.
None of us are perfect. None of us can change the past. Some of us are fortunate enough that our mistakes mostly happened before there was an Internet, and are therefore long forgotten.
Apology accepted.
I didn’t notice a problem. I think if there was one, you would have been banned by now. It’s the Internet.
Sometimes what you need to hear is not what you want to hear. You will do better with listening to realistic advice and moving on from there.
Accepted. It’s a new day brimming with wonderful possibilities! <:-P
