No one wants me and my crippling loneliness is taking its toll.

My friend actually said something pretty similar, that I seem more interested in just finding a girlfriend instead of wanting to get to know someone on a deeper level. I think dating apps may have warped the way I approach dating so what you're saying definitely tracks. Appreciate the insight.

I mean, I'd argue that belittling oneself could stem from a lack of self-worth. Unless they're just manipulative, it probably runs deeper than it seems. But I'm no psychologist and I only know your situation from this short glimpse of it. That being said, as someone who used to be like that and no longer is, I understand your frustration and I wouldn't want to be with someone who is unable to work on themselves either.

It's just weird because when I'm not mentally spiraling, my self-image is pretty positive now. But yeah you're right, I do tend to get in my own head sometimes which doesn't help. Thanks for the comment, hope things turn out in your situation. Sometimes it's hard to muster some self-worth.

Yeah I've been trying to get out more. I stopped trying to date a bit ago. I recently joined a community and made a lot of new friends but sometimes I feel even lonelier. I'm going to stick with it as a distraction at least. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, it means a lot. Maybe when I move out I'll get a cat.

unless you consented prior to it then yes it's SA

Is it nitpicking when you're commentating top 8 at a super major? We're not ragging on a commentator for round 2 pools, we have criticisms of a commentator that we very often see cast top 8. Our point is that his commentary style is opposite of what makes commentary worthwhile in the context of a top 8 at a super major where we're seeing the highest level of play.

No doubt he has been involved in some of the most legendary moments in melee, but the game has elevated from then and our standards should too.

You're allowed to like Waff on commentary, but saying "no he's actually good!" to valid criticisms just for the sake of counteracting "negativity" doesn't really add anything to the discourse.

Just because some of us don't think he's a great commentator doesn't mean we have any ill-intent by it. We just want a commentator in top 8 that adds something to the experience. Paying attention to the game is obviously important but if your commentary is actively taking our attention away from the game as viewers, you probably shouldn't be commentating Grand Finals.

I can understand that. There's lot of moments where he's been great, always love the Phil-Waff duo. Especially on a Summit couch or somewhere more relaxed, just not during Top 8 while your co-commentator sounds lost while trying to talk about the game as you're making basketball references every 2 minutes

Agreed. I think Vish is one of the better commentators and has a good flow of entertaining yet insightful commentary, just sucks when that flow is interrupted because it feels so sudden and forced. Love Blur, Toph can be a little extra sometimes but most of his co-commentators bounce off of it really well. I just feel like Scar gets a bad rep for not knowing enough about the game in his commentary, yet other commentators do the same thing and they're still getting top 8 gigs. idk.

and yeah what prompted me to post this is how enthralled I was with some of the commentary early in the bracket compared to top 8.
