Hello, Nsima, and welcome to Steemit.
There are many shy or reserved people on Steemit (I'm one), but that is not a hindrance or an obstacle. Since Steemit is essentially a blogging / publishing platform, your shyness is irrelevant. Completely irrelevant.
If you have any good ideas, if you want to express your ideas, if you have any worthwhile information ... you will find that Steemit is the ideal platform to express these ideas and info.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
- Be yourself.
- Be interesting and informative.
- Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
- Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

There's plenty to learn and there's always some way of "uplifting" yourself. All the best.
