So I was looking through my journals from 2+ years ago, and I realized... typical dA user 'standards' have really changed.

To me it seems that no one cared if you put 'XD' after every sentence, or acted like an insane hyper spazz all the time. However, nowadays I feel like people are being judged in that sense... which I never noticed happening back then.

Then again, maybe it's just me who has changed. Looking at the things I said back then, I had an extremely high opinion of myself and I was constantly wallowing in self-pity. Yet I had more people to talk to and interact with when I acted like that.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that what was acceptable then wouldn't be deemed acceptable now.
What's everyone else's thoughts on this?





(Also, I plan on doing a long update journal later this week. It's time for one of those.)
