I totally agree and think if you are outgoing and positive you look for like minded people. I don't know what the others do as they are loners and this place mirrors real life in so many ways. I think if more users actually put themselves out there they may be surprised that they may actually not see this as a grind but fun.
It's only a grind if you are trying to make money from it. For the people who are just here because they love it then there is no grind. You can just have fun and let the STEEM build up in the background. Especially here where you can be part of a great group of people rather than some of the trolls that tend to frequent a lot of the other sites.
That is how it should be. We love it as we enjoy everyone around us and most of us are very social.
I love the time that i spend in the STEEM eco system. The people, the discords, the apps. There is no comparison to the crap that i used to waste time on before with facebook and other apps on my phone. If there is money to be made at some stage that will only be a bonus.
There will be a bonus at some point. This place is to good to not go mainstream.
Here's to hoping =)
So true. It's your own cove if you make it a grind. I'm reaching the point where I sometimes forget to check my wallet, because my priority is the comments and interactions now. The Steem is beyond my control, so what's the point of stressing about it.
There was a point where I'd be constantly disappointed that I couldn't give much reward with my upvote to some amazing posts. So I've taken to using it more as a like button. If my VP is getting low it might only be a 5% like, but it's there and hopefully says that I appreciate the sharing of the post or comment.

I still look at the wallet but only in terms of seeing my SP growing never the monetary value. I don't care about the markets right now since I am not trying to sell. There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes and eventually the prices will come back up some bit. Until then I will just keep doing what I'm doing.

'as @niallon11 said, only a grind when trying to make money from it. I would add as the only thing though.
