A newcomers view on Steemit & a short introduction to myself

A newcomers view on Steemit

I have been introduced to this platform by a relatively new friend that I won't name, for the sake of my partial anonymity. The reason why i'm not quite keen on sharing my identity is because of the anxiety caused by sharing my thoughts and feelings openly with the world and expressing myself, but I do hope that someone will benefit from my content since I am very eager to chat and maybe even debate ideas and concepts with this wonderful community.

I've only been lurking this place for a couple of weeks but after figuring out how the website works, I was able to encounter an amazing community and pretty diverse content but I have noticed some areas such as crypto are much more developed in comparison with other smaller communities (such as more niche subjects, or local communities for different countries) that are not quite well-represented on Steemit, but I believe and hope that I'm able to improve and work on the community of my own country.

The concept and the fact that this type of platform is reality is just mindblowing. I frankly believe the blockchain technology is able to revolutionize social media, and Steemit is the proof. The fact that the community is rewarded if they contribute, has helped everyone give their best since it's in everyone's interest.

I'm going to finish this with a tip for noobs like me but I find it quite essential to read the FAQ section from the website, even though the quantity of information seems overwhelming at first, it has helped me immensely to learn more about this place.

Short introduction to myself

I have to start this by saying that i was really contemplating on not creating an introduction post but I figured that I might as well write this post in the unlikely situation that someone might want to know more about myself. My interests vary wildly but I enjoy learning about self-improvement, travelling, photography, science, cryptocurrencies and technology in general, beauty, health, arts, more specifically music, movies, architecture, paintings and culture.

How I plan on improving this platform (or at least what I'm going to try to do)

I have no intention of posting content that is not qualitative, so that's why I'm looking forward to receiving feedback. I have a couple of ideas regarding the type of content that I want to create, and i frankly really hope that others will be able to gain something from my posts.

My main idea currently would be starting a series based on the well-known quote that says: Everyday you learn something new. Since thinking about this concept I've been experiencing an increased mindfulness in my dull and uneventful life.

I have noticed that the key to building your own community on here is consistency, besides providing great content, of course. I do have doubts regarding my capability of starting something and not quitting but I guess that we will find out together whether I can do this or not. I also have issues with keeping motivated and positive most of the time probably caused by my anxiety and depression but I am on a lifelong process of finding out the best way to make the most of this . In these past years, I’ve encountered many people who struggle with the same issues which lead me to the conclusion that we’re not alone.

One of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten, was in fact from a random match from Tinder and he told me to take a slower approach regarding self-improvement, and to try to work on myself little by little rather than putting pressure on myself and setting huge goals from the beginning (setting bigger goals long-term will actually help you improve though). I highly enjoy talking to a lot of different people for this exact reason, because you can learn so much new stuff from people outside your group of friends.

Until next time, I hope everyone has an amazing day!
