Why are we all so negative?:/

about 9 years

So over the past few months that I have been playing Epic Mafia, I have realized that we are all so negative. We constantly try to bring someone down if they mishammer (I myself have done this), instead of trying to help the player grow. We all have had opportunities to bond over a common interest of a game, yet we mock how we each of us looks in picspls. We hate players that are better than us, because we can't stand the fact of losing to someone WHILE we should be trying to learn how to get better we miss an opportunity due to pride. I think this whole website would be much more cohesive, fun, and far less dramatic if we tried to make it more about playing the game and becoming a stronger player than filling it with nonsense gossip left and right. I have been guilty of many of these things, but I feel like it's time for a positive change that will make this website far less stressful and way more fun! Anyways I may sound like an idealist, but I just want to plant the idea in your mind that next time a player makes a really obvious mistake instead of lashing out try to help them learn why what they did was wrong. If you see a picture of someone you don't deem attractive, just keep it to yourself we don't need to all know what you are thinking. If you think the mod team is bad, don't just sit there and complain either apply to be one or try to logically talk it through with some of the mod team THEY AREN'T EVIL.When someone comes to youth gossip, don't spread it end the chain there do not give a reaction as that is that will make the gossip spread even more. Anyways this is just a rant that will probably make no difference BUT atlas I tried! Good luck in yee gaming exploits!

What do you think of this Sirius?

I think just living like you don't care about anything is a lot better than just being positive about every single damn thing. If you don't care, you don't get hurt. What do you think, Sirius?

I mean, every time I'm positive, bad things happen and the disappointment is a lot worse than just being negative.


I agree.. whenever I'm positive I just have the worst day.. but whenever I dont give a damn .. things seem to go my way

It makes other people negative, then the world gets filled up with negative. People will put back on the world what the world puts on them.

People who are really friendly irl can still be toxic players. it's hard to tell them not to be angry.


My advice: Use your smile to change the world, don't let the world change your smile.

If someone makes a mistake, then he has to learn by being yelled at. Half of the mistakes are Gamethrowing anyway.

People are negative because they can see whats going on, and they are mad because people just dont follow them , and just plainly old suck hardcore.

I would be lot nicer in a game if all blindly followed me.

If you can put the misery on anyone else, and have it be believable, then you're not so badly off for having been bad yourself. Schadenfreude, basically, except with a practical edge.

Losing makes a lot of people angry. Not just em. We have toxic players on league of legends etc. People who are really friendly irl can still be toxic players. it's hard to tell them not to be angry. But they should be playing lighthearted games so that way they don't feel competitive and make effort to win a game
