Hi there, I hope you're doing great.
Yet another valuable reflection about Hive and its owners/users. I wish more people would take the time to write these kinds of posts, it would help shift the tide to genuine prosperity.
It's very interesting how the mind works, and how it's the 'little' details that actually allows us to connect with other people's work. For me, your titles and images are always on point, and even if I don't know what expects me I click the post and start to read, out of curiosity. I aim to achieve that as well.
I have an issue that I'm still working out: this new beginning as a blogger responds to an urge to express many things I have repressed over the years. Sometimes the thought of being judged scares me, but what can I do, I'm here to finally speak for myself. Even if my work isn't liked, I'm accomplishing my goal, right? Well, maybe not. Because the feedback is very important as well, it isn't good to feel like we're talking to a wall. On that matter, I also aim to make people connect with what I have to say.
When I'm not writing/working, I spend a lot of time reading other people's posts, out of curiosity of what's going on in their worlds. I comment/connect with the author when I truly like their content, for the sake of being honest. I also spend time on Discord doing a similar approach. I hope these actions lead me to build meaningful relationships in this space. That's what matters the most for me right now.
Thank you for opening this discussion and I hope it echoes to the right people. There's much to learn!
See you around.
Thanks for your comment and sharing part of your reasons for being here. I think you're on the right path.
It will take time to get the interaction but there's certainly value to be had from the simple act of expressing yourself, saying here what you may not say elsewhere. Some may judge it unfavourably but that's no different to real life. Best be true to yourself and content that the benefit will outweigh any negatives. Do what you're doing and you'll begin to make lasting connections.
