Dear Jaynie, it is a pleasure to visit your post and you maybe noticed that I have now re-steemed both of your posts, that is not something I regular do but both of the posts were very special.
You joined Steemit and your brought your special style and uniqueness. You might not notice yourself because that is probably normal you but it is very rare type of character of person that we come across here.
I like you analysis and your critical assessment of how we, here on Steemit live, especially considering that you came now when everything more or less working like it is now for quite a long time.
You pointed correctly, what we miss here is an interest and communication with each other, that means when we read posts we should reflect if we like it and of course, it is a courtesy to give an appropriate feedback. Often that fails. slowly many just accept it.
I see that you have very good comments and the users who are here very well known to their thorough reading and thoughtful comments. There are I would say many good users, like you say often language barrier makes it difficult but I must say I am glad that I came across many good friends who write in Spanish, maybe due to the work as Steemcurator.
Nevertheless, I am glad that you expressed your thoughts and I hope many users will see your post and change themselves. I must admit I often have no time for comments and also to write in time, like last night I had my night shift and from tomorrow on I have three long shifts in hospital those days I am unfortunately, not able to spend much time for Stemeit activities as I want but I am often able to read the posts and try to come back.
This post is worth a special mentioning for @steemcurator01 the Stemeit team may also like it like us.
Thank you so much for that @stef1 I appreciate it more than you know!
What a lovely compliment @stef1!!! I do hope that as we head into the days, weeks and months ahead... that this will become more common place around here... it would be wonderful to see more people making a genuine effort.
I always think about it like this: How would I want to be treated? Would I be disappointed if someone clearly didn't read my post and just left some lame one liner in the comments? Of course I would! I think it is safe to say that anyone who put in relative effort would be saddened or disheartened by that... so, easy fix: give to others what you would like to receive yourself. It has a natural way of gravitating in your favor then :)
And I appreciate that you took the time from your clearly busy schedule to read what I had to write. That is priceless Stef. You need not justify anything... we all have our lives to get on with and IRL always takes priority. You do plenty aroundhere from what I can tell, and your content is ALWAYS enjoyable to read... so, dont stress yourself :)
Thank you again for everything!
Have yourself a beautiful week!
