Cave Story Tribute Site Forums

That must have taken a lot of courage to write, and I'm proud of you for coming out with it. I don't know when you'll be ready, but I hope you'll heal enough someday to trust and reach out to people again, whether online or in real life. (If the world is still standing by then.)
Although if you actually want more people to read this maybe you should package it as a cave story mod? : p

this was a rather rough read but it's quite obvious how traumatic of an experience this was for you
sometimes the internet can seem like a cruel and unforgiving place. a lot of the time it is. the internet is no stranger to toxicity and neither is the real world, and coming into contact with that is only an inevitability. i understand what its like to want to engage with people that you see potential in. its very difficult to be personable on the internet without these kinds of people turning into leeches trying to sap your energy
i think you have a good heart and you want the best for everyone, you can't let other people take that away from you. this seems like it has been a big period of growth in your life and coming to terms with things you would have rather not believed in. cutting people off/disconnecting with people is often frustrating and mind-numbingly sad, but sometimes we need to do these things in our lifetimes to preserve our own happiness and mental wellbeing. the healthy thing to do here is try your best to move forward
i believe very much in change and growth and I think over the years you've come into your own despite your surroundings and circumstances. some people aren't willing to change or grow, but you have proved otherwise. stay safe and keep on keeping on, infinity

This means a lot coming from one of the people who bullied me when I was an 11 year old kid all the way back in 2018.

I can tell by reading this that you have also changed. You actually sound like an empathetic person here.

I already had trauma long before the situation with him. The bullying, antagonization, and harassment I received from members of the Cave Story modding Discord server in 2018 to 2019, as well as a group of raiders nuking my Discord server and harassing me when I was 12 was also traumatic. Sure, I was really obnoxious back then, but was any of that really warranted? I really don’t understand why adults harassing children online for entertainment became so normalized. The raider group I just mentioned also spammed my dms on the day of the server hijacking, sent me a text file compiling messages going into detail about how I’m a disgusting shame up on society, and sent me a short Cave Story mod making fun of me. They did all this while I was 12 year old kid and almost all of them were grown adults. I went years hating myself and believing I deserved all of it for being an “immature annoying insufferable cringy autistic 12 year old brony”. I’m not a brony anymore in case you were wondering.

Yes, I do want the best for everyone. I wanted the best for everyone when I made it more widely known that zxin was a groomer, and when I called out the problems with rain’s server and took issue with problematic individuals being there.

I’m not sure what else to say in response to this. Thank you. I wish you luck in moving forward in your endeavors as well, whether that be Headman or something else.
