-2 frags, wow ok. i am simply looking for a new team, i was recently illegally baker acted by my psychiatrist, she called the cops on me and the cops threw me into a wall and had to wrestle me to the ground, they proceeded to grab my hair and shove my head into the ground and than taze me, when i reached back while they were tazing me to rip the tazer out they yelled at me not to. they tazed me again, picked me up while verbally abusing me. throwing me into every wall at every opportunity they had. i dont deserve this shit, what the fuck did i do.

i want this to be a job for me and im starting at open, so i want a team that is going to be on most of the day and willing to scrim.

what

no one cares about your personal problems. if anything, you won't get picked up because of them.

the cops were telling me to leave the country

yeah i already posted it there earlier

TF2 can't be a job. Try LoL

its called growth, you put time into it and anything can happen.

i plan on playing both anyways

oh yeah, and after they threw me into the cop car they were laughing about it.

you have a bad rep and are probably gonna get minus fragged no matter what you post. the best thing you can do it to just ignore it and act maturely while you play/post on the forums (posting personal stuff outside the feelings thread might not help), and if you're lucky people might start thinking differently about you. maybe.

good luck finding a team.

are you fucking kidding me it shouldnt matter how a person behaves i behave just fine i don't see a problem with my behavior if you have a problem tell me and don't hide in the shadows.

instead of -fragging me, make a post instead and tell me you hate me.

People do see a problem with your behavior though. You're getting mad way too quick and quick to "fight". You also bring up way too much of your personal life that normally shouldn't matter in a looking post (the first post is fine, but the second post you explode just because of -frags, bringing up getting put in a cop car). This place isn't a haven from real life.

oh okay thats why i didn't fight back at the officers huh, you know if i had fought back i wouldn't be sitting here typing this message i would be dead, my brains probably splattered on that poor womans floor

Dude you seriouy need build a bridge, cry yourself a river and drown your problems in it,
i dont want you to kill yourself or somethin but dude people play video games to get away not deal with 400+ people's problems. I've had it rough the first few years of my life and i can relate and if you wanna talk add me but putting these things out in the open just makes you seem less approachable and in the long run harder find a team...trust me i know

For once, sally is right on. Best way to move forward in TF2 at this point is to ignore the naysayers and leave your personal issues behind. It's going to be harder for you to build relationships etc than others because of your history. Drop the drama and play tf2 and people will play with you. You want people to respect you, not pity you.

This is a legitimately good post. Good on you, sally.

I'm talking about fighting/being aggressive against people on the forum for -fragging you. Your looking thread isn't the place to talk about your problems in real life. People looking for a person to pick up for their open team isn't going to be looking for the guy who was in jail for 3 weeks or the guy who owns his own store. Keep your thread relevant to the topic/forum, which is you looking for a team. All you have to do is state what class, the times you can play and want to play, division, and then maybe something about league fees. After that, all you can do is wait. Alternatively, you can go to open recruiting threads and try to ask people for a tryout that way. People don't want to put up with people who have a lot of baggage from real life; they expect it to be generally separate from playing TF2 unless it means you need backups/can't make certain days.

tl;dr: Just wait for people to message you or go out looking yourself. Don't bother with your real life problems, people will only bring you down for it/not want to deal with you.

1. you are looking for a team
-behave
2. you think you have no problem with your behavior
-this is not true and this is affecting your chances of finding a team
3. you want us to tell you if we have a problem with your behavior
-we did
4. we told you that you have a problem
-see 2.

tenaciousg in a nutshell

heh.. whatever im going to move out of this country.. my grandfather fought for this country and im sorry but its a fucking terrible country. i am going to move out of this country the first opportunity that i get.

Yo pt, you may be right but that doesn't mean its the best way to get the point across. Your situation wasn't that different than tenaciousg's a year ago or so. The community treated you like shit and called you out on immaturity, but how much nicer would it be to have someone try to respectfully explain things to you instead of outright criticizing?

The dude is legitimately trying to make a change, and obviously he doesnt connect with people as easily as some so help him out.

forget it dude goodluck with life in america im going to move to a country where half the people who i talk to i can't fucking understand them.

i love these threads

of course it was different. my problem wasn't that i thought that everyone in the world owes me something. my problem was not caring about the game or how people treated me. obviously i didn't care about how people treated me. i'm just telling it how it is and telling him straight up why he has trouble finding a team. what's worse? pretending that everything is okay or actually telling him what the problem is?

I'm not trying to tell you you're wrong, just that people are a lot more receptive if you have tact. Whats the point of making the post criticizing in the first place if it wasn't to help him realize his problems? Most effective way to do that is to show some respect, or just move on and hold your opinion.

Dunno this is a pretty pointless convo, teng doesn't seem too receptive either way lol.

fricken jerks

1. When I'm trying out players, their attitude and how they behave is one of the most important things I judge them on.

2. The first step to fixing a problem is realizing you have a problem.

There are a few people in this community that can't find teams because of their reputation. The problem is that they keep making it worse. What you need to do teng is just make a thread saying you are looking for a team for TF2. Just mention TF2 and you don't need to mention anything else, probably be best if you didn't even post in the thread outside of the op. Just set up the thread and wait for people to add you for tryouts. I mean, you want to play TF2 right? Then focus on playing TF2 and not talking a lot about your personal life. It blows what happened to you and stuff, but you might have to keep that stuff in if you really want to be able to find a team and play this game. Also, don't let minus frags get to you. People are always going to minus frag you and you really just need to ignore it dude, they don't mean shit.

Actually trying to help.

You should really learn a way to channel all of your depression into something positive. You have a bigger issue than video games. Id suggest you stop playing them and focus on getting your life together and finding who you are. When you do that you can then find a good balance between real life and the internet. If you are always so negative its just going to rub off on other people weather you mean for it to or not.

When I was in high school I wasnt the happiest person. I leaned to turn all the negativity I had inside into motivation and I was able to enjoy my life a lot more. I got to the point that I welcomed sadness and anger so that I can motivate myself. If you can learn to use all the negativity into a positive you will love life.

are you fucking kidding me, i am going to go after them legally. the way i was treated was absolutely disrespectful and i could have been seriously injured if i wasn't as tough as i am. all they managed to do was seriously piss me off.
