My feelings about Starting Out on the Internet.

No matter where I have tried to put myself out there on the internet, my depression gets the best of me. I start thinking that no one will ever pay attention to what I have to say. But this has kind of changed on this platform. I don't feel the same pressure to be known. I, as an adverage person can get by here just by posting aboit the way I feel. I see this as an advantage here, where I no longer have to conform to certain language. I feel freer than ever knowing that no matter what I say, it cannot hurt my chances here. All I feel is that I should have fun and be myself. I am literally able to be more like the person I truly am. I wish only to have the means of providing better content than I currently can. Because I seek improvement, and I want to be able to share things. But a lot of what I want to do is being covered by others. I am drawing a blank currently as to what type of content to produce and how I can possibly go about doing so.

Sort:  

As cliché as it sounds, make the content that you want to make. Unless you are trying to make a career out of it, don't try to pander. Don't expect anything either.

And just because someone has already covered something, doesn't mean you cannot add to the conversation. Try to add a unique perspective on it, cover it in a different manner, maybe play devil's advocate and make a counter to it even if you ultimately agree with it. I get where you are coming from, I don't like talking about things I feel like have already been covered extensively but there's nothing wrong with getting inspiration.

It doesn't have to be perfect, it doesn't have to be unique, it just has to be yours. The hardest part is starting. Make a list of things you may want to do and pull one out of a hat or something and just make it. Have a (realistic) deadline.

Don't think it's good enough? Could be right. But it's the internet, the biggest trash heap on information in history. No-one really cares. Have fun with it.
