I have been around for almost 4 years , obviously starting on Steemit, yet I learnt a lot from this post of yours. Thank you kindly!!

Avoid isolating yourself in tight circles. This network allows you to communicate with and learn from people all over the world. Lots of info and ideas to be had.

This in particular struck a nerve. I hate Discord as it appears too busy for my old head and despite being invited to various communities I have declined and carried on in my 'tight little circles'.

Mission to self .... spend time in Discord.
