A difficult introduction

in #introducemyself7 years ago

I was starting to wonder if I was the only person that has a hard time trying to introduce themselves to a community here on the Internet? When I was first told about steemit I was so eager and I wanted to jump right on and start posting and commenting on things. I really thought I was going to just jump in and take off. When I'd actually sit down at my computer and start thinking about things to post I was having a hard time coming up with a couple of basic things to share. That probably sounds crazy right? I actually have so many interests and hobbies I sometimes do not know where too start... As I said in my original post that I am a multipotentialite. I know I know sounds like a crazy made up word but believe you me it's not. It's actually a bonafide word that explains me. For many years I was always told by my parents and my teachers in school that I needed to pick one subject and focus on it. That if I kept jumping from subject to subject that I wasn't going to master one and become a specialist. Oddly enough I never really wanted to be a specialist in just one subject. I've always been rather content with just being sorta a jack of all trades... Knowing a little bit of anything about everything. Soon I'll start trying to explain my many interests but I'll get back to talking about my finding it hard to introduce myself.

For a couple of nights I would sit at my computer and wonder really what should I say... Which things was more important and more interesting than the other. I really tried to narrow it down to just a couple of things and I will say that I feel I've shorted myself in a way. Thankfully there is a way to get the information out there eventually. :)

First picture
In addition to trying to figure out what to say about myself I was starting to have a mini crisis of sorts on a picture to verify me... Also in the picture I wanted to hold a piece of paper indicting that I was taking the picture for my new steemian friends. I would put the date in the pictures and so I would get sidetracked and the day would change. Then I'd feel like I'd have to make a new one and also try and improve the little sign I would hold up.
Second picture
After so many attempts on a span of quite a few days I think I was starting to annoy everyone around me wanting to have my picture taken holding up a sign indication who I actually was.
Third picture

I even started asking various friends of mine which ones they liked better. I actually got different responses about the varying pictures on which one they thought I looked better in to which sign they liked better. Oddly I enjoyed making each sign...

I thought I would post one of the pieces I spent the most time making and colouring...

Here we are now a couple of days after I started this steemit entry on the many pictures I took and couldn't find the perfect ones to introduce myself here on steemit and I am still struggling how to create the perfect post. I know that I shouldn't try and be a perfectionist because when I do I often get no where.

I am hoping for a bit of feed back and I am wondering if I am the only person who has went through this?

With that being said I am going ahead and submitting this and hope for the best. I look forward to hearing comments and suggestions! :)
