First, I love steemitchat #general! And that's where I met cool people like you and also @steemsausage . Although I'm just silently reading there sometimes, I still learn and get entertained by the random topics.
Second, I don't really know what happened and who told you to shut up about your emotions. That's BS. People should not be told to shut up as long as they're not insulting others and it's not against some rules (I'm sure there are no rules against complaining). What I like here is that you can talk about your emotions and that makes this online stuff more human. Maybe you just got the wrong audience that time and they said that. There are a lot of valid complaints, and those complaints may even lead to an improvement in Steemit if the message gets through to the right people.
Well, they didn't say it outright, and it's happened more than once. Probably because I talk too much. That can be good when you're doing a blog, but bad when someone's jealous, and they think you don't appreciate what you have.
Don't mind them and just be yourself ^_^
I think more people appreciate that you talk a lot because that's what this chat or posts are about, it's about discussions.
It's also a good sign that some people are jealous of you. That really means that they like you and want to have what you have and be in your place :)
