Profile Update, 10/24
a year ago
Upon the number of notes that I've received privately out of the blue, I felt I wanted to state this somewhere on my profile.
If you send me a "Hi", "How are you doing", etc. note out of the blue, there's a high likelihood I'm just going to ignore it. It's not because I'm a reclusive jerk, I have had experiences in the past where I did respond to those types of messages, and it absolutely burned me on several occasions. As a precaution, I don't mess with those messages. If you do want to get to know me better, inquire about my characters, etc. I'd ask you to follow this profile for a while. Comment on a post every now and then, strike up a convo about one of my interests (some are listed on my profile). If I see someone sticking around my profile, liking and commenting on posts for a prolonged period of time, I'm more likely to realize your interest, and potentially be more open to the aforementioned notes and messages.
Same applies if you wish to talk on sites outside of FA, Discord being the primary example.
Again, it's not just because you messaged me, it's because of the sour experiences I've encountered in the past. I mean no disrespect towards those who send those messages, just know it's a cautious and reserved response from myself.

I'd be lying if I haven't wanted to reach out to you sometime and chat, and possibly see about art too, after getting to know each other, but honestly life has been flipping hectic for me and don't want to disappear suddenly. Did take a quick look at your profile info though and see War Thunder on it. British ground main here, because I like suffering, apparently.
Also, just got done playing 6.7 UK whilst I’m writing this lol. Can’t get enough of the Strikemaster xD
I really do like chatting with people here about art and other common interests, but every friend I've made has been through the exact natural way you mention here. I don't like coming across as cold or antisocial but every "hi how r u" person either gradually turned out to be a scammer or made themselves look incredibly suspicious right from the jump, so I just don't even bother wasting my time with those messages anymore. Hope they'll start leaving you alone now!
