Welcome to Steem! I have to say that you've one of the more unique introduction posts that I've read. 👍 (I had myself a giggle as I pictured the expression that was probably made by some who read your ' ..i do want to share and spread my misery.' line. It isn't the sort of thing one reads from a first post and I'm sure it was a bit of a shocker. 😁)
This story of JD you shared with us is compelling. He travels the gray and mundane drudgery of daily life alone, cognizant that he could dance and play along with society but eschewing the game. His musings and outlooks are ones that are shared by many (though they may not publicly admit it). I can't count the number of times I've heard someone say either to me or within my earshot, "What's the point?" (And I'm sure as hell not going to Google it. 😉)
Sorry to sound come across as an advertisement in this next bit but, since you're new to the platform, my aim in this response is to be of assistance. (I tend to make suggestions for various initiatives of interest according to what an individual expresses an interest in/penchant for.) There are many writing communities here, two of my favorites being Bananafish and Freewritehouse where there are contests and daily prompts where you can share your work if you'd like to check them out. When a person is just beginning on the platform, these activities can help them engage with a wider audience. Each community is supportive and though I can't promise that everyone on the blockchain will appreciate your tone and style, who cares? It's yours and if it's what you want to write then that's really all that matters. 😄
We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave meaningful comments on those that you wish (for example something that you enjoyed about the content or perhaps sharing a similar experience you've had). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.

Welcome to the SteemIt Community.
Thanks for the reply. It is the first to actually reference the writing, it means a lot to me you actually read it, I was starting to think none did...
I sold my soul solely for the purpose of coaxing people to laugh at life and it's misery (what else is there to do when faced with the insurmountable obstacles of existence). I'm glad i got as far as a chuckle this time :)
I checked out your suggestions and follow them, will delve deeper once time allows.
Thanks again!
