A couple of days ago I came across this post of 
The Old Steem days, wow it feels like ages to me being on Steemit, and so much did I want t run away from it in the first couple of months. I was full of blunders all the time. I had no Godfather and no Godmother then and I was feeling like I was always drowning. I would look at my wallet and frown thinking what the hell am I doing here, and how will it ever work. But then to look behind, how much can I think of to laugh it out now.
Well many many goof ups that I did in the beginning from not knowing what is Voting Power, not knowing what is the difference between Steem / SP /SBD, and the most important not knowing where to start from connecting with people.
My Voting Power was always below 40, unless one day one kind soul highlighted it to me and that was the time I realized that ohhhh I had this voting power calculations also to look at.
From all the instances of goofy acts of mine there is one that I remember very clearly and when I think of it now also I do not get a very pleasant feeling. I had joined the Steemchat but I did not know how to reach out to people, so I randomly started connecting with people and spamming 🙈🙈🙈 whoever I would see online and then there was this one Steem whale member who I do not remember the name got very pissed off with me on sending him a message and he sent me a very nasty message with an abusive language. Ohhhh my god that day I wanted to just close permanently on this whole Steemit thing. It kept playing on my mind, how can someone be so rude. There could have been a better approach to respond back to me. I was almost in tears and I felt like this place is full of arrogant people and absolutely not a place for me. I just wanted to hide, I felt like all eyes were on me. So then after this the next couple of days I completely stopped putting up any post.
After a couple of days may be this person realized that his behavior was not right with me so he did send out an apology note, and after that I thought it's ok, may be he would have been in something really important and I must have disturbed him at the wrong time so he must have taken off.
And from that day I learned how to connect with people, well it did take a long time, almost 4 months to start getting noticed and getting responses but this 4 months journey, ufff, I tell you I was all over the place, doing all the possible wrong things...hehehe, but that's what now makes me a perfect dedicated Steemian...😍😍😍😍
Well what I see now is a lot of people start very smartly these days and they know just what to do, so I really feel, was a I so dumb...hehehe, but then all said and done, I have memories and stories to say....🤩🤩🤩
So if you have a story of your Old Steem days do share it and let's laugh together.
