I've taken the criticism I've gotten IRL and on the Internet and have applied it. The result of my sobriety is more focus on things that matter, but also a much more jaded view of myself and others. I don't make friends with people as easily, and I can't see the best in everyone anymore.

If you don't like my personality or humor, there's not much I can do there. But to ban me from a Discord for my name when I'm trying to be a nice, reasonable person is just a little bit petty, I think. You can't hate me for the party line when I haven't done those things since I came to Florida. I've been excelling at my job, and actually got my first raise of my professional life last week. I've been taking it very seriously, but I guess I'll always be a bit stigmatized here. It's disheartening for sure, but I shouldn't complain. I've earned the distrust from my past, but despite what the cynics will say, people can change. I hope the perception of me can change too.

no more dxm?

If you’re talking about Jono’s Discord, I believe you were kicked because not only did you use emotes others found annoying, but you literally said something along the lines of “Oh, this channel is for playing Halo? Lol let’s talk about something else.”
