RE: What Would @wang Do? Help #ProjectNewbie Reach Out To New Users
Yes! Community is my #1 priority. Working from home and budgeting with a one-car household has it's challenges on my ability to socialize. That's why I turn to the internet. It's the one thing that keeps me sane, especially when we've moved a lot. My friends go with me!
I had become such a recluse that I didn't even give close friends my new phone number. I didn't like the idea of feeling put upon to answer the phone! I lost my faith in strangers after a disappointing craigslist gig. I worked for an old lady who started to lose her rationality and began to increasingly turn on me in inexplicable ways. It was psychologically jarring. For a full year I wanted to kick the walkers out of the hands of the elderly at the grocery store. Once I started wanting to trust strangers again, Steemit was perfect. I liked that I was encouraged to show myself and be human. There's a Steemit type and it's simply good to be among so many like minds!
