I hear you, @sams-world, I'm in the same boat. My problem is that I often lack time because life is busy and rich outside steemit. I'm trying to keep up but constantly feel that I'm missing things. There are a million posts that I know would help me along, and I'm reading as much as I can fit in, but there are always so many more that I don't get to. In any case, I think I have to take it slowly and be content with what I can do. And then there's the time difference that messes with my ability to participate in discord, and I worry people will think I don't want to participate. I'm also a bit shy but I've met many great people such as @dreemsteem who has offered to take me in and guide me through a show. So I'll look forward to that, when I'm ready. I just have to find the time for it. And sometimes when I have a day off and would have the time, and also find that my eyes are giving me trouble after a few hours, and I have to take a break, go outside and look at faraway trees and bathe in the sun for a bit. But we newbies will get the hang of it if eventually, all at our own pace. I'm so grateful I found this place, love, love, love the people, the learnings and the entertainment, and also the reward systems. Really awesome stuff. I wish you good luck on your journey!
