Oh wow, a new word for the feeling 'steemit blues'. You're so correct especially when you don't have any hopes of delegation or stuff.

However, let me add:

• Be happy for those with high payouts- it frees me of the bitterness and helps you interact well with whales and make good friends.

• Read stories about great people: i found out that some whales didn't start out as whales and this was such a great motivation.

And finally...celebrate when you break from your usual level of payouts😅😘
