I'm not in a group where help each others to grow but accidentally enter to a group where I find enemies whose destroy my encouragement to be a regular author in hive. Unfortunately I met people who only can pull down, can't help me grow up but with the time I'll accept all the bully and abuse. Your post is always interesting to me so I couldn’t stop myself commenting. Stay blessed sir! ❤️
What about in the real world, would a reference group help you in a practical sense?
Actually I'm a introvert type and unsocial in real life so I don't have such helpful group and I hide myself and stay away from more people as I feel unsafe to share my personal life, I met people who misuse of those information and manipulate according to their wish. Sorry about sharing such misfortune but still there is some specific individuals who help me not as a group but help me without expecting any kind of return. So I'm lucky on that way.
Being introverted doesn't mean you can't connect with people in the real world, though I don't recommend sharing too much personal with strangers anyway :)
