It is impossible to grow as a writer, artist, or just a creative person if all you do is nothing. These kinds of skills are like everything else in life you need to practice and hone them in.
I just go into things knowing no matter what someone out there is going hate it. People have such false notion that they are going be “popular” and “loved” by all. Some people become so addicted to these “needs” they have that they dress, talk, and act in a manner they deem will make them look “popular” and “loved.”
I have noticed many people have such fears on Steemit and they also let trying to be “perfect” get the best of themselves. You look and see they have 0 blogs o maybe they have one or two and that is all. I try my best to tell them things like “start off with an intro post and be yourself.” For the most part, unless you are going out of your way to offend and anger people off they tend to just go to the next blog then pass on their criticism.
You never fail to shed more light on issues with your amazing comments.
I too have noticed people who rarely blog but comment actively.
Thanks for the added wisdom @enjar
