Hi Gee we all went through that phase. That feeling of why am I still here and trying so hard. Why have the people I started with is being recognised and their reputation and earnings are so much higher than mine.
Why do I even bother to do quality work when some people can get away with less effort.
When we compare ourselves to others and their growth we often end up being unhappy. In my first month I was so unhappy because I was writing long posts but nobody cared. I admit I was after the validation to be said to be good. It feels good to be praised.
Angry and dejected I wanted to quit. Yet I persevered. I stopped comparing and started helping. I started looking at things that this is not a sprint but is a marathon.
The only way is to go up and increase your sp.
So Gee I am glad that you found your motivation and be yourself. If ever you need a kind word or a helping hand. I am one notification away.
People are always looking after you. You are worth it. You are awesome.
