It's one of the things that I love about Steemit - I've been able to really be myself with no filter on topic, language, or niche. I truly feel that this space has made me a better writer and I've expanded my world into a crypto space that I could never have imagined.
I truly believe that you may find that same openness and be embraced by the community. The key is to keep going and be real. I've also just launched a community engagement challenge. It's not going to be easy but if it were it wouldn't be a challenge now, would it? :D I hope you swing by and check it out. There are some helpful tips in the comments too.
