How is it that people can see them but I can't. I am assuming you are talking about that little red box at the top of the hive key chain. When I click on it it says you need your keys to access. I have keys but I asked someone where do you put the keys since I use a password to get into my wallet. They said I'd have to get a new wallet and use my keys just not my master key.

From the sound of what you're saying, it sounds like your Hive keychain was set up with your posting key, only. So you can't act on anything financial which would require your active key, at minimum.
Just in case, you're Hive-Engine wallet would be this (visitor view only):

Does that mean I have to delete the wallet and get a new one? I forgot basically, it's been a long time since I've even looked at those tokens, what all that stuff meant or even what you can do with any of it.
It may just be a matter of terminology here. It's not the wallet that's likely a being the problem, it's Keychain, which is typically a browser extension (on laptops/desktops) or a free-standing app on mobile devices. I don't know which you are using, so hard to say exactly where the issue is.
Most important thing is that you have your original Steemit/Hive keys stored safely somewhere in a text file or pdf. I keep mine on a thumb drive in the desk drawer with my passport, important documents and such.
You may have to uninstall and reinstall Keychain — which is considered a "trusted app" — and set it up with the "import keys" option, for which you enter your master key once and it auto-configures Keychain correctly for whatever type of transaction you're attempting at any given moment.
