Hi Hive Lovers
What you find is my own experience during my five months here. I can make myself happy with what I've accomplished. I'm just at reputation number 61. It will just keep adding up, unless I just keep quiet, right?
I think, for five months, that is the best achievement. How can I not? I can't stay involved here. I have a real life out there that I have to live with. My focus is on my family and work. The rest is having fun.
I'm here to have fun, and I really enjoy what I do. I'm not affected by people's appreciation of my posts. If you are willing to check some of my posts, then you will clearly find those posts were only upvoted by a number of people on a finger count. Not a problem for me.
I'm not aiming to make money here, and I'm not ashamed to admit that if I get a lot of upvotes for a post, then I'll be smiling happily. Who doesn't love to earn money?
Since I'm here to have fun, I live my engagement here as best I can, and that's only when I have free time. I can't share something every day like other people can, or even share more than one post in their 1 x 24 hours. I applaud the few people here who are able to manage their time to stay engaged here consistently in the midst of their busy times and activities.
I'm looking for something else here that I don't get easily out there. Anything you can get here, right? I get a lot of great posts here and I have included these people in my favorites menu and I consistently follow what they share. I learned a lot from my connection with them.
Well, what we are all doing here is about fostering relationships with other people, which is one of the most important aspects of life for human beings. Humans thrive in love relationships (in their broadest sense), intimacy, and emotional interactions with other humans.
Including here. When you are here and introduce yourself, then you need to make a connection. You need to interact and engage emotionally with whoever you want.
Here, you should look for people who share the same interests and passions as you. If not, then you will not be able to survive; you will experience disappointment; be tired of yourself; and you will even experience mental stress. This is important. If you are only hoping for money here, then from the start you have failed.
I have simple tips so you can build a relationship with anyone here. What I want to convey is general, non-technical factors only.
The three main points I've been keeping in mind over the five months here are:
Make an effort to "find out" more about the other person, showing interest in what they have to say. It will help build rapport (I just call it "help") and develop your engagement.
Keep friendships and actively use time to maintain connections with existing friends and keep trying to develop new connections.
Make an effort to develop new friendships, join the community regularly, and spend a little of your time being around people who share your interests.
These tips are a reflection of human character in interacting, and of course, you can develop yourself according to the ethos of your positive behavior in getting along and building a relationship.
If you share something useful, then you will be happy and have fun here.
I'm sure you all have your own experience of building connectedness while being here. If you have a better experience or have other valuable experiences, I will be happy to answer your questions in the comments section.
