It is strange how we think! You are very right, if we don't really assess our selves on a regular basis. I am a pusher for Steemit, been accused of being obsessed with it, to the point where I actually feel sorry for those who cannot see Steemits actual potential. The skepticism is rampant. I try my best to educate those to the Steemit idea, how it works and just how enjoyable it is. Many have asked to see it in action and while showing them they want to view my page. One of their first reactions is. If Steemit is so great, why are you not getting the views and why arnt you making big bucks. I usually tell them that it takes time to climb any ladder and yes I have at times felt a little low.
Maybe I am trying too hard to convince them. I just have this strong belief that Steemit is going to become a top contender.
Thank you for your post, it helped too put a little more gas into the self confidence tank. Upped and followed.
