Between saying things that are offcolor or untimely, or just how on every application you've ever responded to is a half-assed "+1. I'd write more but I'm so tired" (which is your opportunity to provide insight and opportunities for improvement for aspiring members of the community), I just don't see you as being someone that others can turn to when they need information, a positive influence, etc.  

I wish you were consistently operating at a your peak, because you're genuinely a fun person to play with when you're on point...but so many of the behavior/interactions I've witnessed are just baffling.

Honestly I just want to say, sadly you are pretty right, I'm not in a great frame of mind sometimes and I'm not great at reading situations sometimes. I try to be friendly and helpful but I think a fair but of the time I just kind of come off as a bit annoying and frustrating. I'm not that good at interacting with people sometimes and I didn't really think about the +1 thing probably being more harmful than helpful, I have a tendency to not really be able to speak actual feelings and areas of improvement I feel like someone might need sometimes and I feel like I come off a bit rude when I try to so I just try to leave support that might help. I honestly need to think and not post or play as much when I don't feel like I can be constructive or helpful, I think its a bigger issue for me and I just try to hide it behind facades. I know that I need to be more consistently better and I've looked back on stuff I've said and wondered why I would think saying that was appropriate or kind at the time. I need to take more responsibility for actions I take and make an bigger effort to be consistent and helpful instead of just saying one word or something thats not very helpful. I hope I'm at least a bit consistently better more of the time than I just come off as frustrating and offputting but I honestly can't tell a lot of the time unless someone directly tells me or I look back on it a day or two later. Its not anyones onus to tell me when I'm doing something like that. This is a long response and probably not the best place to put this but I feel like I should say something at least because I've noticed the same issues in myself before and I need to put in a consistent effort to put down those issues and be more mature more of the time.

Sorry thats a block of text I think I forgot indentation exists.
