Okay, I need to add my two cents here because I believe it calls for it.
Radiant, you are a great ST. You do so much for this site. Things that I was beginning to think that no mere ST could do, seeing as most end up vanishing. You've probably done everything that a ST could do in their position to better Mizahar and that's something to be proud of.
You should not, by any means think people hate you.
This is one of my personal philosophies, but I hope you would at least agree to it some. If not, then I hope it'll make you feel somewhat better.
But I don't believe that someone can fully hate another person. It's a strange thought, but hear me out.
I don't think that anyone can truly hate another person because of the simple fact that anyone can forgive for anything that happens to them. Things hurt people and people hurt people, though in the end, it is up to the person to let it go and accept that this is Earth. And on Earth mistakes are made. Whether it was a natural thing or another person that's screwed up. And I think that because you can forgive, no matter how hard it may be for some people, that you can't really hate another person. Take what you will from that.
Yes, people get frustrated and people get mad. People get mad at you, people get mad at me, everyone gets mad at one another at some point. Though, it is this frustration and anger that is what holds itself as hate.
Radiant, you've made a mistake. Though, only you can decide what to do with it. I think that the hardest part about making a mistake is forgiving oneself for making it. Have you ever had one of those experiences where you've broken something of a friends and you just keep apologizing and saying sorry, although they told you it's fine? I think this is why. We beat ourselves up about what we've done wrong more so than the person who has been wronged sometimes. And I think that this is the case here.
People get mad sometimes, and I know you've been having a rough few weeks. But just because someone or a few people are upset with you because of what you said or what you did does not mean that you're a terrible person and that everyone hates you. They'll get over it and likely forget about it later if they let it go. But I think you'll feel much better, and would be able to get much more out of this situation besides that you're a mean ass tyrant (which is utterly false) if you can forgive yourself. Once you forgive yourself, I'm sure you'll find it easier to move past this and be able to learn and do better the next time this type of circumstance arises.
You've been one of my biggest role models on Mizahar since you first began being an ST. Every time I picture the ST I want to be, I always say to myself I want to be productive, resourceful, friendly, and active like Radiant. I'm not kidding, you can ask my brother. I even think to myself that I want a strong name like Radiant's sometimes, because that's just a bad ass name and it sounds strong and sturdy, yet friendly all the same.
I'm sure if you were the mean ol' monster that you're making yourself out to be, that I wouldn't be sitting at my desk wishing I was an ST like you. You're a wonderful person Radiant, I always enjoy talking to you. But you can't let a few rough weeks and a couple of angry people pull you down and keep you from what you are. Because it's really hard to recover from that and I want to continue to see you do wonderful things with Mizahar, as you always do. I think that I can speak for most people here that we all love you Radiant, and we really appreciate what you do for us and for Mizahar.
So I hope that after your break that I'll see you around chat again, going back at it like the awesome person you are. *hugs*
Take care,
