I will think about your advice my friend, and appreciate it. @energyaddict22 was kind enough before I rented delegation to analyze my account. He had advised a 50-60% self vote as well to recoup most of my investment. I respect both of you very much, proud to have the evolving friendships we are building, but it feels wrong to upvote myself so much. Perhaps naive on my part as those I try to forge bonds with disappoint me more than it works out, but I keep thinking if I help others build their accounts they would wish the same for mine and together we can all climb this thing quicker. But as I said, the reality seems to be more closely aligned with how you two are going at this.

Thank you
