Well I've been very open and honest about my frustration around steemit.
The frustration is as much with myself and being brave enough to be here in the first place; despite having pretty much zero interest or ability in technology, software, computers etc....i don't even properly know how to use the cloud and my smartphone thinks I'm stupid.
And i am here, in an alien land, a new frontier, trusting and supporting decentralised block chain technology, knowing instinctively through my quantum learning and personal spiritual lessons this technology can change the world;
So despite my fears, worries and general incompetance,
I am here, actively
showing myself, posting, creating content, making mistakes, learning and actually doing this in technology which I clearly don't understand, I'm Sharing my strengths and obvious tech weaknesses.
I am slowly connecting with others
Building a reputation
And definately driving myself and probably other steemers crazy.
This is a very teccy place for sure but there some very lovely human people here to:
I've been resteemed by @lichtblick and am very grateful as I recieved over 50 upvotes which I am sure came from this generous action to support new content and was a beautiful thing to do.
I always check who upvotes me.
Why?
I'm looking for friends to follow, like minded people to improve my feed and daily interaction here,
i'm looking to upvote others and their content as that is the mutual currency of support here
I'm looking for like minded influencers
I'm identifying bots which I feel uncomfortable with
But when i looked nearly all of the up voters had NOT YET MADE A POST!!!!
Firstly i was surprised
I didn't think you could vote without content and then realised we all get given a fart of steem when we sign up
And without content which attracts votes eventually you run out of steem and then can't vote
But Then i remembered my initial overwhelm at it all and realised maybe many non posters are just totally in a state of whaaaat the fuuuuuck is going on here
Then i realised some of them maybe perfectionists, worried about what to say, how to say it, will it be perfect...
Many are just overwhelmed with the technology, jargon and landscape.
Many restricted by time
Whatever the reason
To all those with no content sharing your little steem.....with me
With love, i say.....Stop it!!!..
CREATE MORE STEEM FOR YOURSELVES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SHARING IT
I would much much rather read something about you, get to know who you are
Just write something -
Even if its just why you are not writing,
copy and paste something from something you posted somewhere else,
write an introduction just be sure to tag the post #introducemyself
Comment on the posts you upvote. You must have liked it in someway to have shared your little steem. I've been told commenting is super important in steemit.
I literally have no idea what I'm doing here
I am totally out my comfort zone
Much of what i know maybe wrong
But i am here to encourage you and up vote you but i need something to upvote and comment on.....
Feel free to tell me
Whats stopping you from making your first post?
Lots of luck to you
Very true! Everything is worth posting about :)
(The tag is introduceyourself though, LOL, and should only be used for that one intro post).

Cheers xxx
Thanks for this. I literally just joined so am finding my way around the platform. I have two ideas for posts which I'll be publishing in the next day or so.
Fantastic....hope you find your tribe...whats your topic area.
I think.tags will help.find your people. Im finding the search engine and explore frustrating...
Surprise surprise lol...lots of luck
thank you. yes, it's a learning curve. for example I didn't realise you replied to my comment until now - I'm used to other platforms giving me some type of notification!
My topic area is self development, mindset feminism, life coaching - so I'll be sharing tips and tools, also helping artists in this new age.
Hello welcome to steemit @ordinarybird, I congratulate you for your presentation post, a lot of perseverance and for sure you will succeed, I hope you have lots of fun on the net, I already want to read your publications. God bless you from @jorge090202 from Venezuela.
I hope fun will come. Just keep posting, find my people and keep learning
We are in the same boat! Haha. I'm following and hopefully we (and all 'plankton' ) can succeed. Good luck !

I actually hate being described as plankton..
Me too. Just aiming to write the correct lingo, despite it sounding pretty grim :/

Brainless mass of food for whales and sharks...not a loving suppotive metaphor at all....maybe time to change some lingo here
