What you’ve described here in this post is very familiar @lhorgical because I went through a similar experience. After a few months joining I took a break because I was so lost and confused on how to get around here. That was five years ago…it’s amazing how so much has changed since then.
I noticed you didn’t respond to any of the comments on your first post (your introduction). Did you see and realize that several people left you links to click on that would have helped guide you? Many Hive veterans have taken the time to create guides and helpful tips to help newbies get a better start on their journey here. I wish I had that kind of help back then but thankfully I too came back and connected with some very valuable and supportive people that helped build up my blogging confidence.
You’re on the right track. Just keep being yourself and sharing who you are. I enjoyed this read because it was real and sincere and I relate to your experience.
If you are still needing some guidance I would advise you go back to that post and check out those links that were given to you ;)
I hope you continue to grow and enjoy yourself on this platform ~
