Forced to be here. Kind of..

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hi guys,
So this is me.
In case you're wondering what I'm doing here on Steemit..
I don't even know it myself actually. I was sort of forced by my steemaddicted husband..
So now I'm about to find out.. Who are you people? How does this work? What makes steemit so interesting that my husband spends more time with you than with me? Tell me please!

welcome to steemit :)

Hi honey,

I still love you more! But please never ask me to choose... Great to see you finally made your first post, I see you already have some great responses.

Kisses, your husband.

So nice that we can finally have a conversation! Thank you Steemit!

Don't be an online drama queen, I'm right here in the kitchen

37 minutes passed, did she visited you in the kitchen yet? This is hilarious :)

No. She never did. Apparently Steemit is much more important to her now.

Only have myself to blame I guess

Where are you babe? Can't find you in the kitchen..

Welcome, you will soon find out why your husband is spending plenty of time on here :) You will love us more soon ;) Good luck with the Steemit journey

Welcome to the Community
I am sure after some months you will force your childerns to join steemit .😂

Haha, today our oldest daughter joined too!

Yep, I'm afraid so..

Well, hello @bettyboob and welcome to Steemit! "Sort of forced," were you? Not the first time I have heard that... those of us who are... ehmmm... "addicted" of course think we've found the greatest little oasis on the web.

But here's the basic idea why this place is cool-- it's a lot more authentic and interesting than the likes of Facebook, Instagram and all that; people here (if you take a little time to look around) actually have real conversations about real things, something more than someone posting a meme and a dozen people saying "me too" and adding smileys.

Now a lot of people talk about "making money," and that's true... but you live in the Netherlands and that's a pretty high living standard, but yes you can make money to go buy a beer or maybe a dinner. But part of the beauty of Steemit is also that people who live in places like Nigeria or Viet Nam are actually having their lives changed because $50 a month is a big change in their life.

But that's also part of what makes this fun and interesting... it's a truly GLOBAL community. Where other social media seems to group into little flocks of "we're all the same," here everybody connects with everybody else.

Anyways, welcome... just getting started on my day here on the West Cost, USA... although I am actually from Denmark, originally!

Thanks for explaining! You have a nice day in the USA. I actually love Denmark. Went to Romo last year. So quiet there! Loved it!

AAaaahahaha! Perfect intro post @bettyboob. I couldn't relate more to all these questions you ask yourself. Steemit stole my boyfriend (abh12345) from me as well. But hey as they say, if you can't beat 'em join 'em, right?!
I think signing up to Steemit helped me understand where the addiction comes from. Definitely not as addicted as he is, but you'll see, it'll pull you in for a fun ride as well. Good to have you here :)

Thanks! Nice to know I'm not the only one :)

Welcome to Steemit! Nice to meet you. :-)
Pretty picture! :-)

Upvoted and followed!

That's kinda funny cuz I've recently just talked my wife into joining, but she's kinda shy about it and hasn't posted anything yet! :-)

I am still pretty new here too. If you view my page and find it interesting maybe you can follow me too?

I hope you have lots of fun here and make many friends! :-)
Thank you for sharing! :-)

So, here's an idea... You should take your wive to Steemfest in Lisbon. She'll post just to know what this is all about. It worked for my husband ;)

Thank you for your comment! :-)

Great idea but if I had that kinda money I probably wouldn't be spending as much time on Steemit! :-)

Wishing you happiness, smiles, sweet dreams and sunshine! :-)

I like you intro :). Steemit It place you can meet intereting people. Good luck and have fun.

Haha, that ia a unique reason to be on steemit :)) Welcome to steemit

Interesting post - thanks @bettyboob .
