I always feel ready, because I know I'm going to lose.

Well you should be laughing if you type LOL, because that's what LOL means. I'm not LOLing right now, because some people are still taking a test. I finished it 15 minutes ago.

Ok so, I started cubing 2 months ago. I average 28 and I could probably decrease that by a few seconds in about a week. I was just wondering when is a good time to start going to competitions. There aren't any in my area but some are close to the border in the US (I live in Canada so...). Is it too early for me to go to competition? Or should I maybe try it out? I know I wouldn't get first but I don't think (from what I've seen on YouTube) I would get last. Also my averages are...
2x2 - 8
3x3 - 28
4x4 - 2:30
Pyra - 16
Mega - (Getting one tomorrow)

If you want to and can go, speed shouldn't be a big factor. If there's a comp close to you, you should definitely go.

at my first comp my averages were comparable to yours and I have no regrets.

I averaged around 50-60 seconds back at my first comp.

At my first comp I averaged 19, but if I had known about comps earlier I would have gone when I averaged 1:30

Seriously, just go to a competition if you can solve a cube no matter what you average. Don't hesitate; just go. It's worth it, trust me.

To be fair you were using a Rubik's brand at your first comp

My averages are still worse than yours (2016BUSH01 is my WCA ID for proof) and I've gone to 3 comps, and am signed up for 2 more. I don't go to win, I go to meet other people as interested in cubing as I am. Just go and have fun! And you definitely won't get last with those averages.

Look at this slow guy. He averaged well over a minute at his first comp and barely broke sub-30 at his second comp. I'm sure it doesn't bother him now.

If you're here on this site, you're more than likely already ready.

Is there a time where going to people should start going to comps, maybe to practice getting rid of in-comp nerves or something? So in other words, what is the fastest time one should start going to comps?

IMO anyone with a speed cube. Those rubik brands are a pain to scramble

They're not as bad as cubes that feel like they could explode on any move

I am 12 years old and I usely average under 50 seconds on a 3x3, I have been cubing for a little over 6 weeks and really want to enter a competition to meet other cubers as I know none because my friends aren't cubers, I do what I can of cfop method and try my best but didn't know whether I would embarrass myself with my slow times or not at a competition. Please help

just go, you aren't the slowest person out there and even if you were I would still say go to a comp. you won't embarrass yourself if you're just there to have fun
