I initially thought it would take a week, but I guess it occurred to me quicker than I thought. I would like to explain why my behavior worsened in 2020, and what measures I will take to make sure it doesn't happen again. I would like to announce that there have been some real-life issues recently that have had a negative impact on my behavior, and why I would like to limit my time on Wikipedia for a while to recover from my stress: About a month or two ago, me and my family moved to a different state. We had to move a lot of furniture and books, and the pressure of having to do all that for days has taken a toll on my cognitive abilities. Since I graduated high school, I have had very few friends to talk to and have gone on Wikipedia more often than usual.My decision to sign up for the WikiCup has made me feel too competitive and I realise that, given the demands that the WikiCup's rules call for, being in the Cup effectively impaired my ability to make productive contributions to Wikipedia articles in 2020. In 2019, I was making MEPs and British MPs the moment they were newly elected. I have decided to withdraw from the WikiCup and I promisenever to participate in the WikiCup ever again. And as for my Women In Red contributions, I promise to be more flexible with when I do them. And due to the bad experience with the WikiCup, I would like to disclose that I have obsessive–compulsive disorder (see the relevant essay is here), and it has had negative impacts on both my time in Wikipedia and my time outside. I use my phone during the first thirty minutes of my night-time sleep in bed, and I've been addicted to the internet too much which has had a negative impact on my social skills. Therefore I've decided to limit my internet time for the time being. My "not an admin but might like to be one someday" UBX has made me think like an admin to the point where I got too far - you know, reporting socks unnecessarily and altering sock tags. Therefore if I am unblocked I would like to have it removed. Did I learn anything? In some places, yes. I was called out for enough WP:BADNACs that I decided to limit my use of WP:XFDC. After I was called out for replacing PRODs on those Judge Dredd articles with redirects, I limited my habits of doing them. After I was called out for altering sock tags, I stopped doing it. I thought I was doing good in the world, but following my indefinite block, I have failed to realise soon enough that I was being overconfident in both definitions of the word. Therefore, I promise to limit my time in the four administrative boards (WP:AN/WP:ANI/WP:AN3/WP:AE) to the most critical of emergencies, and even so I should ask an admin to do so. If it's a content dispute, I'll talk it over with the people involved. I regret my actions and their impact on my life, and I feel very bad for what I have done in the WP:ANI thread, and I promise not to do it again. Of course, if I get unblocked, it would have to be on some conditions given my behavior. In any event, I'm currently in my gap year after graduating high school, and I'm working with my parents to look for a college, and if I get into one my activity in Wikipedia might be limited for a long time. ミラP 17:18, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
