It is a funny how when we are unemployed aspiring creatives, we feel embarrassed when people ask us what we do. Like we have to justify ourself worth. One thing I learnt though is most people ask it just as a conversation starter, to break the ice. The 'judgement' we feel is something we project out not necessarily something people are doing to us. I have been there before. I wish I had Steemit back then too :) I have started following your blog and wish you all the best with finding your voice here.
