It has taken me a while to be able to write this with a clear head. To those that I have negatively affected: I attempted to reach out to a few of you but I have either been blocked or individuals are not willing to reply to me. This is really the only way I know how to say my peace in a way that won't get dogpiled by social media or deleted for someone else's own vendetta.

This is my official apology to everyone. No matter what you feel, know that I feel the same way about myself and if it's any consolation, I have paid the price.

First, an explanation.
I had an addiction to sex and would seek it out through social media channels. I can guarantee that no other instances of me seeking sex involved the circumstances you know about. Whether or not you believe me is up to you, but I don't really have any reason to lie at this point.

Having learned details about this addiction after the fact, I came to understand that I had broken through my denial of this being a big problem for me. When an incident like this happens to people, it oftentimes leads to the destruction of many parts of their lives. This is true for me, and maybe in some way this will help if you're a "vengeance" seeker. Various things that I lost:

My job.
ALL of my friends. Not just a few.
My relationship.
My close neighbor relations.
My entire online identity, which I maintained for 23 years.
I am uncomfortable going anywhere in public.

Most people might consider killing themselves in this situation. I can guarantee that I have considered it, but feel like it would be an easy way out. On the other hand, my immediate other reaction was to begin seeking help. I have found this in therapy and through groups dedicated to this kind of problem. I am 3 months into this process but feel that I can have a regular life routine that isn't harmful to myself or others.

For my friends in the dance game community, and literally anyone I interacted with: I have seen that you are disgusted having ever known me or speaking with me. I'm sorry that I made a decision that made you feel this way. You're justified. I can only hope with time you can realize that I really am sorry. This isn't a fake apology as much as I'd love to write this and spin it with a bunch of lies. Why would I lie? What would it accomplish at this point? I still am a person as much as you don't want me to be.

I use offline dance games as a therapeutic experience, it's one of the few things I can do to actually forget about the world's problems and how much of a piece of shit I am. I won't stop playing in my own home because of that, but I will miss everything about being part of a group of gamers. I started out not being connected to a dance game community for 10 years and I'll remain that way for the rest of my time.

If you made it this far: that's it. I don't have anything else to say. I have opinions but they don't matter, literally nothing from me matters anymore. Maybe this apology will matter for you. Why read something that I wrote though? If your opinion of me is as low as I know it is, I don't know if any of this will do anything for you.
