Look at the way youre life was before you found SC and how its different now in ways that are directly affected because of the forum. What's changed in you because of the forum? Are they negative changes or has it made you a better person?
I've known ever since I joined the server that it causes my mental state to rise (thats a GTA reference btw)..
I frankly couldnt care less, im a rather impulsive person with no care at all for most things, so.. meh

"mental state to rise"? as in anger? what does this mean
"What is the Mental State statistics and how does if affect players? Below, I will explain the concept as well as some exciting tips and tricks to help improve your gameplay.
- Mental State statistics is actually an indicator for players' behaviour and reveals how aggressive a player is in GTA Online.
Tip #1: One can check their current Mental State stats by holding the D-Pad or choosing stats from the Start Menu.
- The longer the meter bar is filled up, it suggests the more aggressive that player is and vice-versa. The trick is to get your Mental State stats bar to the bare minimum or zero.
- The other way to indicate a player's Mental State is through the red and white dots on the radar or the mini map in the game.
- One can increase their Mental State stats by killing an NPC such as a police officer or even an innocent civilian just walking by the street or by blowing up a vehicle.
- The amount by which your Mental State increases depends on whether you are already rated aggressive (red dot) or still a normal friendly player (white dot).
- As you progress in your game killing more and more rival players online, your Mental State meter goes up. The transition starts with white dot and becomes pink as you get more aggressive, and finally ends up with red dot (puts rival players on high alert) as you become extremely dangerous with an unstoppable killing spree.
- As the player identification colour changes to red, the player is regarded as a psycho and the bounties will change to a skull icon on the map.
- The Mental State of the player determines the concept of matchmaking, as you eventually end up playing with group of players who are like minded. For instance, you could only join the red group if you are tagged red and vice-versa.
- Quite surprisingly, if a white dot kills a red dot, it does not increase their Mental State at all, while also receiving some bonus RP for the kill.
- Besides, killing a cop fills the Mental State meter much quicker than just killing an innocent player. However, the change is incremental and takes a lot of time to actually fill your Mental State meter completely.
Tip #2: In case you end up being a red dot psycho and want to revert back to normal (white dot) status, just avoid violence and killing for the next 48 minutes and your Mental State meter will be reset to zero.
- Furthermore, killing your friends or crew members will barely have any effect on the Mental State meter. So, that should be some fun...
I surely hopes the information I have provided works best for your gameplay and thinking.

No, definitely not. But that's not important.
I am around those parts of the internet with a clearly defined purpose. I've scraped the surface, but have not achieved it yet. I might also give up on it. But who knows? Maybe I succeed. I'll be gone when either happens.
What changed in me?
I've become slightly more misanthropic.
I've gained some insight on some things I was interested in.
My drive levels lowered.
It made me notice I am a better person.
That is heartwarming.
I'd say my experience here has been largely positive for my development, and that without this place my life would have likely drifted towards drastically different outcomes.
