For starters, you seem pretty dependant on us "old people" or "veterans" or whatever the heck you wanna call it. It's natural for your age, but doesn't mean it's not something that shouldn't be worked on. Here's a few examples of what I'm trying to say...
- Whenever you change your avatar, you ask us if it's good when really, our opinion shouldn't matter for something so trivial.
- Whenever we play a mafia game, you blindly trust whoever first talks to you regardless of alignment (which always turns out to be Opo).
- And sometimes, when we happen to talk of a subject you know absolutely about, what do you do? You try to contribute, but since you know nothing, you bring nothing, which kinda ruins the momentum of the conversation. In fact...
You straight up added nothing to this conversation, stating that you, as a person who knows nothing about the subject, could not have said things better than Z, who does have some info. Then you proceeded to share your opinion of Cartoon Network, not the show itself.
If you have nothing to bring to the subject, don't bring anything. Instead, ask what we're talking about (odds are someone will definitely answer you) and/or bring up a new subject that you
can contribute to. Removes a lot of social awkwardness.
Then, the like button. You need to learn how to use this power responsibly. I mean, didn't you state that you sometimes click the like button
before reading a post? That alone makes it a very bad use of the feature. Not really gonna say more because I think we've already covered your addiction to liking. You'll probably learn to like posts that genuinely entertain you instead of just clicking on anything that's "funny" or "informative" as the years go by anyway.
There's also the moments of depression-induced negativity but, well, you're already working on that, so why bother bringing them up?
I... can't really think of anything else right now (yes, even the cringiness is fine sometimes), so let's get to the good stuff.
For starters, I really like how you have no goddamn shame in sharing whatever opinion you may have. All you do is just say it. That's a really great quality for, ironically enough, someone with great social skills. That's something younger me would've been extremely jealous about, actually.
Then, there's your overall kindness and positivity. You're always so darn nice and hopeful. It's as if you knew that I, a Canadian, wasn't as nice as the stereotypes should suggest so you picked up the slack.

But jokes aside, keep that optimism for as long as you can, Shiny. The second you drop it is the second life's gonna seem a whole lot worse and with the depression you have right now, losing whatever optimism you have left would be a horrible turn of event.
Really, you're an overall nice kid to have around. A bit immature every now and then, but that's normal for your age since you still have some growing up to do. And really, the "bad" things are ultimately not that bad, just little things you need to fix. Hope that helps.
