Let's make Steemit a better place together!

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

During the past few days, I've had the growing realization that this platform is dangerous for my mental health. Ever since I joined Steemit I've dealt with some pretty strong emotions. There has been lots on enthusiasm and excitement, the occasional RAGE, but most annoyingly I've felt this constant, aching frustration! And it came from a combination of things.

The first was probably my perfectly human envy at seeing other people make more money than I am, and some of them on pretty poor content.

Another thing that bothered me was the uncertainty in my ability: are my posts not good enough or is this system not acknowledging my GENIUS? (insert laughing emoji)

Besides, every time I wrote an article I felt a bit like it was Christmas Eve. You expect something magical to happen in the morning, then you wake up to realize you have no friends and don't believe in Santa. So you got NOTHING!
