Your logic and your way of expressing yourself really make me reflect and question things. Positively.

I call myself a stupid idiot because I make so many stupid mistakes that other people wouldn't make in environments like college, home or with my friends. But what you say makes sense. I still think it's a trait to get used to, but I've also met dumb people who don't know they're dumb and they're the worst.

Yes, you are absolutely right that Itch.io is not a casual forum for socializing, I mean, there is socializing but on other lines. I can leave the talking about personal stuff for other places, it's just that I'm afraid that people will perceive me as a robot because of how I've shown myself so far. But, there are better ways to say things about yourself in a light and brief way instead of making your devlog of your project a personal blog.

Um, I use reddit a lot recently to visit posts from a franchise that is very complicated. But I wouldn't want to make an account because of the reputation it has (I've never, ever read the word 'redditor' in a positive tone) but I can look for alternatives. With the whole twitter thing dying it's become popular something called Mastodon which looks interesting. anyway! The point is to look for other places to express things better.

I will try to faithfully follow the advice of "Do not listen too closely to strangers on the internet." but adding "unless what they say makes sense" like the things you said. Sorry if I didn't answer everything but I read your posts repeatedly to catch everything 100%. Thank you for advising me.

You are biased. You know about your own mistakes. But you often do not know about the mistakes other people make. Like painting a wall. You do see the errors you made, the paint splashes, the place where you had to repair the wall, the place where  you had to paint twice because of  sloppy  painting or dark colors on the wall.  All the stuff most others would not notice or deem important.    While I can of course not tell you how stupid you really are, I do can tell you that  phenomenons like this are real. They go hand in hand with stuff like confirmation bias and even overconfidence like the  Dunning-Kruger effect. (That could be   me trash talking game devs, because I think, I could do it better ;-)

Regarding the robot thing ... gaming was once nerd territory... ;-)

Good to see that you already picked up one of the fundamental rules of sound arguments. It does not matter who says something. It could be proverbial  villain or the town idiot. If premise is true and logic is sound, argument is sound.

(Reddit is a swamp. It more or less  is a mirror of the internet users. The good and the bad. And you can guess what side gets more coverage outside of reddit. But it might become a self fulfilling prophecy. If enough people avoid reddit because of bad reputation, only the people going there for the bad reputation will be there. Be sure not to give real personal infos there. Or anyhwere for that matter.)
