Lost my way in the Hive World

This blog I'm about to write, I'm sure many newbies would feel the same way I'm feeling and I would like the expert's on Hive to help us answer some of these questions, but before I start, I would like to tell you all my journey so far.

I joined Hive via ecency a few months ago but what I did was to come online, do some reading and go back offline since I wasn't familiar with the new world I find myself, luckily for me, I had people who helped me to understand how things here operate and work, even though I still have a lot to learn, people like @uchihanagato and @olawalium With their help, I was able to make my introductory post, to my surprise, I had a lot of upvotes and I was welcomed with open arms, another thing that made me happy was that, I earn quite the amount of money too, I felt impressed with myself and the change that was about to happen to me. I did reply to all the comments that was made under my post, it was a warm welcome.

The Next Phase

I started reading newbie articles suggested by some awesome users here to help me catch up and understand the site more, with the little knowledge I had gained, I was able to find my way around for some time but at a point I got lost. Yes, I was lost. how did this happen?
I joined a few communities, read the rules guiding them so I wouldn't go against them, then get myself kicked out of the community. After I had done this, I started writing. what surprised me was that I didn't get as many comments and upvotes as I did on my first post.

Not that I'm complaining or anything

I don't just understand why, I was thinking it would be a bed of roses all through the stay because I had a sweet beginning, so it got me confused, I tried to interact more, but at a time, I was told I couldn't comment because I was out of RC I ran back to my masters to ask what was wrong thinking I had committed a crime, they explained to me what happened and how it is, another day, I made a lot of upvote and comment because I enjoy reading very interesting short stories, I was surprised at so many great minds that I found here, I decided to write out one of my stories too, as soon as I was about to publish it, I was out of RC or what it HP

I went back to ask for the way out, and I was told I had to wait for my RC to recharge, in a short moment, I got a notification that someone delegated HP to me, I really don't understand what it meant, so I asked and it was explained, I was really grateful, I had begun to understand the hive world more and more, after some few published article, @jacobtothe delegate another HP to me, I'm surprised why, are there still nice people in this world, people on the Hive world are very nice, has respect, generous, always ready to help, I feel happy to be here.

The only issue I'm having right now is, How do I get the upvote, comment, or increase my chances of earning more, I'm a story writer and life coach, I can talk about the psychology of life all day long, but if I do it in the wrong community, it doesn't count, that's why I said I have lost my way. I hope someone out there would be able to point me in the right direction, I can't stand rejection, so I hide behind my keyboard as a form of protection, it's not a permanent solution, but it brings comfort.

Thanks for always stopping by, let's meet again in your blog or mine.
