I wouldn't compare myself too much with those other users; some people just have a naturally strong understanding of all the strict rules in place and work really well within them (and even then, I feel tha, ironically enough, they're still far too loose in certain respects). Just because you're not one of the top contributors doesn't mean you're useless and not doing any good. If anything, you should be proud that you've gone this long without getting into trouble considering how easy it is to be in trouble there even if you're a genuinely non-malicious user. Besides, no matter who you are, there's always someone else you can compare yourself unfavourably to in some respect. Nobody's perfect or good at everything. Also, TV Tropes isn't the sort of thing that should affect your self-esteem and self-worth; after all, it's just something people use for fun as a hobby. Unfortunately, it also happens to hold everyone up to ridiculously high standards that only a small number of people can completely meet. If anything, you're in the same boat as many other people.
