RE: Nah-ima-stay Positive 🙏 Thank You All 🤙

Exactly, and I think that thinking before you write can be good, but don’t censor yourself or hold yourself back. Bring your true self and letting go is go. What’s the worse they can say about you? If anything they will say, “that guy/girl doesn’t take any shit!” ... me, I love that. I love people who stand up to abuse and fight for the greater good. We Minnows and Plankton automatically have the “underdog” postion and that is good for us. Thanks for your comment and yeah, keep trucking for sure. 🤙 #BeReal #LifeInspired #NoMoreShitContent 😎

You are probably right.
Always good to stand up for ones rights and try to help less fortunate, if you can.

On self-censorship and opinions, this place would be really cultish and creepy if there where only "YES-men" here, that is why I liked your article about quitting it had character and real emotion.

Personally I have also learnt to be somewhat reasonable, and being too much of a drama-queen or "rebel by default" is not always so smart...

When I first heard of Steemit I just wanted to drop some really good high quality blog-posts and potentially get some compensation for it, but after signing up, researching, reading and commenting etc, I realized that I have to engage with the community, something I was not very keen on at first...

Call me slightly anti-social, shy or a bit damaged by all the privacy scandals concerning private data and social media etc etc, I like a bit of privacy, concepts like FB = not very appealing...

But Steemit turned out to host a decent(ralized) crowd 😎, most people here are surprisingly gentle and really friendly and helpful, but yeah some other people are a bit self-centered, (just like I was when I got here), and I guess if you allready have a "following" you can get away with being a "diva".

Some are just (like you put it) "whale-fishing", Personally I am just trying to mingle to find some like minded people that might like my future posts, and there is some very funny and interesting articles to read here, and many interesting characters are coming out of the woodwork.

I think this was the longest comment I ever wrote on Steemit!

Take it easy and I will see you around bro!

Well said dude ...and hey I’m following you too buddy, long story short, just be yourself, being anti-social in a social economy is hard, and I have friends and hell I myself can be anti-social from time to time, I’ve seen it with a lot of brilliant minds. I think you have an opportunity here too. This might help you to break free of that anti-social stuff, I’m doing it and I totally feel you about privacy. That’s why maybe don’t tell everyone all the details about yourself, maybe just your first name, and mostly username, and just have fun with it and put your personality out there, you seem like a pretty cool dude, do it enough and it becomes second nature bro... trust me, ANYTHING can be learned. 🍻🤙

...and stay away from the yes men, lol never lose your backbone... it’s what holds you up in tough times 💪😎🤙 #BeReal

Yeah, thanks for the feedback, not completely anti-social, he he, I have friends, (but I am not a very big fan of conventional social media and their deceptive ways, and I don't think I am alone).

I understand that Steemit is a big experiment and all this data we put in is going to probably be worked on by AI, I am okay with that as long as they don't do anything super unethical. It is fun here, but yeah I am not going to publish to much personal info here. Thanks a lot for the support, you seem like a pretty cool dude @lifeinspired!!!

I try buddy, thanks. 😊🤙
Time to make some dinner 🥘
