BHW will change you for the better

I have seen so many people lately come in here and give us attitudes when we criticize them. And even though it may seem like it sometimes, this really doesn't upset me much, because I used to be just like them. Actually, Some of the very friends I have on here now, gave me neg rep along with some pretty critical opinions to say the least when I first joined Needless to say, my start at bhw was around neg -10 rep.

So, how did I change that? Well really I didn't do much except shut my mouth, stop being hard headed, stopped acting like I knew everything, read the forums, and learned how things actually worked around here. The rest was done by the great members here. I learned over time that they were not against me, but rather they were for bhw, and the rules. The people here actually made me a better person. I was never a bad person, I just had a bad attitude, and was pretty cocky.

As I said earlier, some of the very people who I thought were against me when I first started are now good friends of mine. So, if you are one of those new members who are like I was 2 years ago, just calm down, be patient, and everything will work out. You will see older members begin to respect you more and more

Word. Shut up, learn, show respect. Solid advice.

Being patient, humble, and open to learning really helps to fit in and gain respect.

It’s cool how you turned things around just by listening, learning, and staying humble. A great reminder for all newcomers!
