RE: "Can anybody hear me? Or am I talking to myslef?"
Hey, thanks for such an elaborate reply as always.
One thing that really sparked my attention was the wife part. I already had to cut down on my time spent here, because my wife was starting to get mad about me not paying attention to her. With that being said, we are both young and somewhat hooked to social media, so I guess she shouldn't mind all that much. But then again, she is the wife, so she is always right and there is nothing one can do about that, haha :D
Overall, I really like connecting with people around here. It's just so much more than just mainstream soical media. I would love it if I could find more followers like you. Most of my followers seem to be bots or dead accounts, which really is a shame.
Hope all is well with you.
Oh, I think I'm good, thank you. Always could be better or worse, right?
re: the wife
You probably should pay some attention to her, true. :) The relationship will shift and change somewhat overtime, though, so hopefully, that will mean being able to have some time for your different individual projects, like Steemit (if it's still around, something else if it's not).
re: connecting
Yeah, it's not a family and friends set up like Facebook generally is, and it's not quite like Twitter or Reddit where it's all flaming all the time. It's somewhere in between here.
re: my followers
I have more, maybe, but most of them are bots, dead or dying accounts, too, or really active accounts with a lot of people they're following. So, there's probably up to eight people who will interact all together. The core group is more like four or five. Sounds great when you have none, one or two, but where I'm at isn't really that much ahead of you in the grand scheme of things.
Still, it's a start, and I appreciate everyone of them (which includes you) for hanging with me. I'm not the sparkliest personality to hang out with, after all. :)
The thing with engaging with others is that, even though we might not notice it, we behave differently when typing compared to face to face conversation. It's just so much easier to type something, rather than speak in front of people. Somehow I get the feeling that you are more of an introvert. But your attention to detail and ability to analyze things to the smallest of detail makes you a great writer, which does well here.
Oh, I would definitely say I'm an introvert, but not nearly as bad as I once was. Getting older and marrying my wife have both had something to do with that. My wife is so extroverted she has no problem coming up to perfect strangers and striking up a conversation. That I still have trouble with, unless I'm trying to get some kind of information.
But yeah, writing is my first creative love, and so commenting here with more than a few words is something I can do. :)
