RE: Four Nominees, is only one not a Loser? - Congratulations
I clicked the "mentions tab" in steemworld.org to see who mentions me which is why I was able to see this post @havebeenupkitty.pal @wakeupkitty and I appreciate it very much that you value me as rather unique member of the steemit community.
All that I do is enjoying this platform for what I can contribute in my own relaxed way so that I will not feel the burnout. I regard this platform as my shoulder to cry on because in the "real world" there is no one really that can help me in terms of my current health situation because I cannot put emotional burden to my parents so that they will not worry, then I do not have friends around (n the real world) that I can talk to except for a few people here in steem like you Miss @wakeupkitty who seem to be one of the positive-thinking people that I know now and need because individuals like you really are a rarity especially to me.
For me, most people outside are just hostile because I already had proven to myself that if a person feels superior unto somebody may it be with societal ranking, positions in jobs perhaps, physical attributes, and especially being financially well-off compared to others, they will be like Kings, Queens, and Lords to others. So any people around which are humble and kind, I tend to be more comfortable being with them. But with "hostile" individuals, I tend to avoid them as much as possible.
That is why I stayed here in Steemit and made this platform a pert of my life now where I did made a huge investment because Steemit has a noble use case which is help people out from poverty. Although again, it is not as easy as it seems and it does take a lot of time for a beginner that will be starting out from zero, but at least now we can build our accounts without anyone anymore destroying it and then we have a hope that one day we can also reap what we had sown if we dedicated our time and if possible, money with our work, it will all pay-off.
Steemit has bee a part of my life since i joined from 2017 and never missed a day without visiting this platform because of what it had to offer in my life, it actually had been the instrument of God sin saving me with my health issues and had it not been from this site I will not be able to get a fighting chance of what I perceive before as an unwinnable health battle with Leontiasis and yet I am currently overcoming it and the evidence is that it didn't get worse but instead, it stopped progressing.
My saga would have been ended in a bitter tragedy without the inception of Steemit in my life, I am so indebted in this platform with the help and support of past and maybe future friends that I will hopefully meet/ So for as long as God wills it for me I will be make it a point to be always present in this platform which I guess is my destiny to be a member because for one thing it saved my life and then continuously giving me a lot of consolation with my current life.
Thanks be to God and the men and women of Steemit, there are many of you and all that I can do is to hope for everybody's lives to change for the #betterlife with STEEM and God in our right. 😀👍
People like you are rare. You are still grateful, attentive and committed to Steemit and it would be good if others felt the same. You mentioned a very important thing and that is how you use the platform for your mental health and a way to stay in touch with friends and the world outside.
I do find it sad that in the real word it's hard to make friends since there are so many people and most of them complain that real friends are hard to find. So if that is the case how come no one finds someone they can share their lives and struggles with? It's something I don't understand and all I can think of is that we people are very picky if it comes to whom we like to befriended with. I am not so sure if it's about looks or money or perhaps both and envy takes the overhand. It's hard to deal with people like that. A plus with friendships online is that one can ask and decide what to say, what not or simple switch the device off if not in the mood this for sure and keeping it as a hobby and safeline helps against a burnout. It's sad that social media, something that should be fun gives so many, if not nearly everyone an uncomfortable feeling and burnouts seem to be more normal than rare.
Thanks for sharing and keep sharing your positive experience and sweet words addressed to me and wanting to be my friend.
Now I appreciate it and will always try to answer you.
I wish you a relaxed day.
I do have many friends in the real world, much of them are from our church (Mcgi.org), the used to visit me one in a while to check up on me, they are ready to help within their capacity. But they can only help much and although they are true friends to me, we are not close personally. However I am very lucky to have them thanks be to the teaching of the Lord Jesus which teaches to love one another and other people which our church advocates.
