Posting

Vepe

I have a problem which I hate.
I don't have the guts to post anything in anywhere and it really bothers me :S I'd like to say my opinion about things and participate in every kind of funny threads, but everytime I even start writing a post I get super-nervous and I stop it there. I feel like that if I post I'll be interrupting something and everyone will be like "stfu noob". I know that people here in Arlong Park are nice and funny and this problem is purely because of my nature, but if you can help me get out of my shell, I want your advice.

I have a huge urge to talk about One Piece, and it is a shame that my shyness is blocking me from expressing myself :D So please give me some help socializing myself.

This place will have the answer, though you may not realise it when you see it.

Do I need to read the whole thread to get an answer :D…?

Or are you implying that I should try begin from the not-so-serious threads to get in the loose?

@Vepe:

If you really want the mystical answer/conclusion then you'll have to read Kishimoto's entire manga, as well as every Naruto thread….

Or are you implying that I should try begin from the not-so-serious threads to get in the loose?

Yep, plus it usually houses the more laid back comical posters…..usually.

Vepe

Well, I have read Naruto :D But… I came to AP to discuss about OP, not some other manga which I don't even like that much.

Is it ok if I post in threads even though I may interrupt something :E?

Darkstorm

How can you interrupt something, this is a forum.

As long as you're on topic your opinion will be judged on its merits, not on your join date.

Vepe

Thank you, now I feel a bit stupid :D And encouraged.

Airflow

Holy shit if you're too scared to post on an anonymous internet forum what must you be like in real life?

oh and yeah, as long as you maintain this kind of posting quality then nobodies gonna call you a noob. Stick around a bit and you might even be respected.

Flux

I used to feel a bit like that when I joined too. I'm also very shy, but then again,
I'm sort of getting disinterested (not by my own will!) of One Piece.

Just contribute to the threads, even if it's just to agree with someone or share
your opinion !

LIKE THIS ! You had the courage to make your own thread, and raise an issue !
And we're all posting in int fine. Come on, no shyness is THAT bad. And I'm real shy myself !

Airflow

This post is deleted!

Vepe

Thank you for your understanding ^^

And yes I'm very shy in person too. Making this thread wasn't easy. But now I feel confident enough to post more. I knew I'd get help.

MiniLuffy

Vepe

This person thinks that you've both been helpful ^^' No reason to fight. Calling someone a loser isn't nice but… it can be ignored.

True, that. I love the wonderful little ignore button, located conveniently on the profile page. If somebody ticks you off with their posts, you can just click that, and all of their posts will be blocked from your sight. Like magic~~

Just remember that this is a rather laid-back forum. Most of the people here are awesome, so you shouldn't have a hard time gettin' some posts in. There's no need to be shy on a forum… if you don't post a picture of yourself, nobody knows who you are!

Vepe

Yeah! Nobody knows who I am so I can go berserk >8D

Well, not quite but I feel definitely more relaxed now (: You are undoubtly very helpful people.

IrishLuigi

Don't worry about talking about Naruto in the Naruto thread. You can talk about anything there.

It is the Anything Goes Thread.

Gekko135

you are welcome in the Naruto thread anytime. Plus the rest of the forum.

But take SMUDGE's advice.

Sakonosolo

Shyness? In my internet?

You're basically anonymous so it's not like being an idiot is going to affect you very much. I'm pretty shy in real life and I still manage to post frequently here. I've also managed to live down (at least I hope) many stupid things that I've done since I've gotten here.

Vepe

Thank you.

Why Naruto isn't taken seriously here :D?

Sakonosolo

Because it pretty much doesn't take itself seriously.

Vepe

Well, that is true xD Sorry for even asking.

LosKnoggos

Don't be shy. I post very rarely myself because sometimes I think nobody will care anyways. But thats wrong I guess. Just post your thoughts, and even if someone tries to bash you, which happens very rarely anyway, other people will defend you ;-)
Most people here are nice and awesome, and the few mean ones will get bashed by the majority if they're unfair :)

Vepe

Thank you!

I promise that everytime from now on when I want to post I will really do it :D

Yoska

I'm not particularly shy person myself but that's kinda pretty much exactly how I felt when I started posting in forums. I think I still feel like that, sometimes.

Sakonosolo

You have nothing to be afraid of. Zephos is gone. At least for now.

Zephos is like Dracula. Dang resurrectin' punk, sucking all the time.

Vepe

Heh, thank you :'D I feel like I'm becoming Pagaya. I say thank you, he apologizes.

And I'm not afraid of anything anymore. Thanks to you nice people.

Keraie

I just gotta say that I've felt like this too. :''3 Dunno.. somehow I have just overcome it. Forums are meant for posters of all kind, right? >w<

<finnish>Ja jos OP-juttuseurasta on puutetta ja jos mese löytyy nii miulle voi toki vaikka yksärillä osoitteen pistää tulemaan~ 8''D</finnish>

@Kairouseki:

Actually he just came back (unless he's already fallen victim to stealth banning). Besides he only picks on genuine morons.

I advise that you take Gekko's advice to take my advice.@Yoska:

That Snufkin avatar suited you to a T.@Kairouseki:

More like an education of justice.

tigerlilly

Vepe, we want you in the Naruto thread! Everytime a new member joins the conversation we have an excuse to get really drunk! ;)
But it's a rather cool atmosphere on most parts of the board, just jump in I guess !
And listen to everything SMUDGE says. Just look at his avatar, you don't wanna get on his bad side!

korobka

Ya know, some of you may think this sounds ridiculous, he does have a point–there are people on here that do this.
@Vepe:

Really, the best thing to do is look for threads where users are harassing others and just don't reply to them or stay out of those threads altogether. If they ever reply to you, ignore them.

SMUDGE

@Super-Franky:

And if you want, I'll PM you a list of some of those people to avoid.

I'd be interested in this list.

Side-note: Listen to Tigerlily, she's the authority on this kind of subject.

Vepe

Thank you, thank you. I think I'll join the Naruto-thread when I have the mood to it :D

And I'll listen every word you say to me. I'm absorbing knowledge. But I don't think I need the list, it is kinda rude to list people. I'll learn through trial and error.

And again thank you for your time and caring.

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

i hope you find your inner strenght to post here more regular…
on the beginning its okay to look around and later you will see some comments which HAVE to be commented by you:grin:, than you WILL post without further thinking.. but you dont have to be shy here on a i-net forum...some are okay somre are asses..who cares...
when you post valid points, those who flame you, look idiotic.
