I give you my trick sweetie : focus only on what and who you want to make exist in your life, the "real life" or the internet one,
for anything you will focus on will still manifest and the rest will just disappear, we could say like by magic, but better say by lack of attention to it ;-)
I'm waiting for the Libra, my sign 😃 ❤️

The advice from Barbara is spot on. Focus on what makes YOUR heart sing. I know you won't stop making art, it's just finding the best place/places to share it, where you feel 'at home' and others will respond to it ~ And you. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Whoa @veryspider ...

"... I don't know what to tell you but you'd be happy to know that the damage is done months ago, I have branched out of Steemit and am scaling down on my energy spent on this platform. So, be happy."

... stopping by to visit one of your posts and read this?! Not sure what this means or what is behind it, but I was saddened to read you have "... branched out of Steemit and am scaling down ..."

Do you have another post somewhere that discusses what is troubling you? Not that it is really any of my business I suppose, but I was concerned, as I have always enjoyed our interaction.

I hope all is generally well with you!

No, there is no posts anywhere, and besides even if there were, I rather not drama. I dislike dramas, and I try not to speak badly about others behind their backs if I can help it :)

Thank you for your concerns! I am fine :) I took on the negativity as a sign that maybe me and Steemit are not as compatible as I originally thought.

I, too, have always enjoyed our interactions as I find your thoughts valuable, measured, and interesting <3 So keep up being you, Rob!

I will be on Steemit for as long as I can, and I will continue to support others whilst I'm still on the blockchain :D

roleerob (66) · 5 years ago

Yes, well thank you for your reply @veryspider. If it helps any ...

"... as a sign that maybe me and Steemit are not as compatible as I originally thought."

... I've had similar thoughts at times. There is a sort of "wild west" atmosphere at times "in here" that leaves me cold. Actually probably worse than that ...

But ... I try to console myself that what we are all experiencing is in its infancy. If we can manage to hang around until it grows up, who knows ... Maybe we'll look back and feel it was worth it ...

Glad to know you're doing okay. If you ever need a "listening ear," you can always feel free to reach out on Discord.

Until next time, take care "over there!" (a poet and don't know it ...) 😉

No libra yet, Saving the best to last I see! I'm not sure what happened, but sad to see you're scaling down, on to new adventures perhaps. It's difficult investing so much energy into something, I find that I am spreading myself thin over platforms, projects and day to day living. I have learnt something new today about the zodiac signs and enjoying the art!

I don't know when Libra is due, but hang on to your pants and we'll get there, Jeremy !

Yeah, new adventures ! \o/ I think it was a good kick up my butts to check out the other social media channels out there, to be honest :) I am also like you, now, spreading myself over a few different platforms. How I was able to invest and engage in such a high level in Steemit was because it used to be the only social media channel I had. But now, it is no longer possible, since there are other places that also need my attention.

Thanks so much for your visit and comments, as always <3 I appreciate!!!!

I'm really glad that you've branched out (because we all know what happens if you stash all the eggs in one box/basket XD). Much less glad that you're scaling back efforts here, unless you meant with the sheer volume of community stuff you were doing because honestly I have no idea how you work and draw and do THAT much community stuff all at once O_O I'd miss your posts and comments and our occasionally ridiculous conversations ;-;

And on that well don't worry if you didn't have the time or inclination to look into the crypto-related shenanigans:) I was just trying to show that it's actually easy even for people like me so you won't have any problems :)

veryspider (68) · 5 years ago

Yesh! Thank you, fyn !!!! <3

Im scaling back cuz I'm behaving the way I have been behaving at Steemit but elsewhere, and a spider has only so much energy and hours... And yes, I am always very high engagement type of a person, it's just the "where" I put that energy that differ. But I won't just drop and disappear, as it takes time to build things so I will continue to support, and curate, and hold contests and create artists' highlight posts, and post on Steemit for as long as I can :)

Cancer does indeed look like she's not one to mess with XD I dont know if she's friends with Taurus though, since their elements are different, so maybe occasionally friends occasionally enemy?? XD

Please, don't let bad and jealous people influence your art and life..
World if full with them, and art is above them all.
Art is yours, personal, and there will always be someone not liking it..but still there will be more those who love it.

Oh, Dunja, you are very kind! I appreciate your words very much :)

I don't mind that some people do not like my art, no, not at all ! I think art is subjective and it is fine that some things are not everyone's cup of tea. But I do mind if people gossip about me behind my back, painting me as if I was a 'shady' person whereas they were the ones and they are still the ones that have been behaving poorly.

I will continue to my thing, for sure :) Just not on Steemit :D

Dunja has other social media? Instagram? Twitter? We can hook up outside of Steemit, cuz I'm still very active and definitely very me on those places now XD

I've been off Steemit so much of late not by choice but because I've had to do so much more this season for my rental houses. Now I see you might be going to another platform? That's sad, also what is the platform? Maybe I'll follow?

I always worried when discord became more of a thing on Steemit I started to feel bad as what I LOVED about steemit was it had a very early 2000's blog feel and people engaged IN the comments.

I have tried and failed at Discord. I just can't do it. I can never find people on at the right time and when I do it's often people who have started to really connect and you feel like a third wheel, so I just didn't get anything out of it.

I'm worried now when I have the time to be on here more in the coming months will it be even more different? Oh well, I think this IS the downfall of social media.

I just wish I had an online site that was about art and creativity that rewarded each other and just let us talk about fun things like art, gardening, being creative and that was it and there was no outside link to things like Discord. It was just a closed system that you can go in and out of and enjoy it for what it is.

I hope you don't leave entirely. I'm sad that @scrawly doesn't appear to be on here any longer either :/

$0.00

veryspider (68) · 5 years ago

Im not moving into another crypto-based blog, Donna :) I'm moving over to the mainstream, non-paying social media places and I've signed up to most of them now, youtube, twitter, instagram, etc.

Discords sure are a different sort of beast to tackle, and some people are not just into chatting and others are pretty into it, I can understand that you find it difficult to engage with.

I wouldn't think that this is the downfall of social media, Donna :) Im sure you will have the time again, in the future, to share with us more of yourself and your arts :) Phases come and go in life, and the most important thing is that if we have built a home for us somewhere, if we have built real bonds and friendships, those people will still be around when you are ready to return :)

I will try not to leave entirely, but yeah, @scrawly seems like they are done with Steemit and I really don't blame them. I am also heading that way, it seems . __ . BUT. I will try to remain, for as long as I can :)

I don't know what the situation is, but I will say that it is a normal part of life, dealing with the negativity of others. If it's a question of one or two people not liking what you are posting, or expressing that you are being over-rewarded for your posts, then that tells us more about those people than it does about you.

I enjoy seeing your posts, and I adore your art, especially your line style. I think 'earning' on steemit is as much about engaging with other people on the platform as it is about posting quality content, and I think you do both.

I think the bottom line is that it's your blog, your posts, your rewards, and you should be able to do what you like, as long as you aren't being rude or intentionally hurting people.

It's a shame to hear that you've had issues here. I do hope you will choose to spend more time here rather than on other platforms, because my brief interactions with you have been delightful. To me you are the first person on Steemit I've really engaged with the most, and the fact that you've encouraged me is valuable. Your early conversations with me are a large part of why I've continued to persist with posting on Steemit.

Thanks veryspider!

Thank you very much for your kind words <3 I really appreciate it !

And yeah, I try not to let it bother me, but really, I feel that maybe at the end of the day I might be more compatible with places who do not 'pay' for posts. Still, I won't suddenly disappear as I have built such wonderful and meaningful friendships here, and friendships are worth more than dollars to me :)

I am super SUPER super happy to hear that our interactions has managed to make your days of being new at Steemit a little easier :D I am 100% passionate about supporting talents and quality contents and you bring a wealth in both !

I agree with @acidyo. If someone doesn't enjoy your content they can proceed to fuck off. The content itself is just a medium to connect to people. That's where the real value is. This is the internet. It's not difficult to find artwork at every level imaginable, but what's rare is finding REAL people that you can connect with. That's what you specifically are incredibly good at. Keep doing you Spidey :)

You are very kind, @midlet <3 I appreciate it :) I understand what you are saying, and I am doing me and will keep on doing me........... just maybe not here at Steemit so much anymore.

Steemit used to be my only social media channel, but unfortunately running into a few unpleasant individuals gave me a kick up the butt to branch out and take what I bring into Steemit elsewhere. And, it pains me to say that my engagement at the other social media channels have been quite successful . __ . So much so that I can't quite justify investing the same amount of time and energy and enthusiasm into only Steemit anymore.

Not cashing out, though :D and as long as possible, I'll continue to support others on Steemit as I have always done :)

kristyglas (61) · 5 years ago

Well I hope this helps: It has been a year since I branches out. 0 regrets. I'm back after a break once again and Steemit is still here ^^ This is why I actually take breaks and re evalue things quite often.

I really dont have that much either, to be honest, it is EXHAUSTING how much time and energy I'm spending into Steemit .... some days I wonder why I keep doing it.... Not to toot my own horn, but I have been upvoting, commenting, and curating many Steemians' posts faithfully (that is: DAILY) for more than a year now and from time to time, this burns me out completely.

I've made over 22,500 comments since I joined 1.5 years ago, and I think that averages over 50 comments every day. Doing 'em takes time. And I don't do the "This is a nice post!" type of commenting either. I take the time to read and respond to people's posts. It's a bit mad, some days.

Actually now that I sit down and assess and reflect, I really am a bit mad. LOL.

Hahha sorry, I know exactly what you mean. Personally i find making comments harder and more exhausting than posts, but I've always been rather antisocial. Damn I participated in the beast challenge on Whaleshares, and 50 comments daily is just incredible.
In psychology I believe his is called sunk cost fallacy, you can look it up :) Everything will be much more clear, we're almost all like that.

Wait no no no. Actually, the name of this zodiac came from a GIANT ENEMY CRAB who harassed Squidward when he was fighting with Spongebob and its element is kraby patty.

Okay, history lesson aside xD
Pretty much like most people here, I don't know what you've been through and what kind of shitty people you had to deal with because I'm only been active again recently after being dead for a few months, but I hope you really are fine there and not have your mind bothered with it anymore. Because I know bad mood can affect someone's productivity and creativity negatively, so it wouldn't be good for you as an artist (and as a normal spider too of course), right?

It's like, for every fish that loves Spongebob's kraby patty, there's always one Squidward that hate and think it doesn't matter. When you do something that publicly matter, especially on the internet, there will always those people who won't like it and shit all over it. But remember, there are also those who will be nice to you too. Didn't think Spongebob could be that deep, did you?

Anyway, I love this Lobster Girl drawing. She looks sweet but also dangerous and fearsome. I hope I'll still be around to be able to see more of your zodiac arts until my zodiac :> and to join whatever contests you do that I could write about.

You're opened to other and share a bunch of good energy in their (our) direction with your posts and support.
From a social hermit's point of view, like I am, that makes you very different than a regular person :)

Anyways, never feel hurt when people start to criticize you or what you do : that just mean you start to be noticed and get new kind of people's attention, not always kind ones. They don't deserve your attention in return.

My first thought when I saw your post thumbnail - "YAY! Another cool zodiac drawing by @veryspider!"

My first thought when I started reading your post - "NOOOO! DON'T GO!!!!"

I know you said you're scaling back, not leaving, however I hope you don't scale back too much! I completely get how you're feeling, and I know you need to do what's right for you, but I'd hate to see the haters win!

That being said, I love your interpretation of Cancer - the sweet faced girl with the menacing claws really resonates for all the Cancers I know (my son included). And I know I've said it before, but looking forward to seeing Leo - so glad it's up next! 😊 ❤️ 🦁 ♌️

You are so adorable XD The way you post/talk is just so friendly and approachable ! I love it !

I think the haters can't really win since I'm still me, but I know what you mean, they really had soured my Steemit experience and in that way, they did 'win'... I will try not to let them 'win' that way, since I will still be here (for as long as I can), but if and when my other social media channels really take off, I'd probably won't be able to devote as much time to Steemit :(

Until then, though, I will continue not to let them win :D !

Regarding the artwork, at first I thought she looks delicate but then after checking the second picture I found it a little creepy due to her hands 😨 however, it is very creative to add a touch of the story to the drawing by combining the soft looking girl with claw-like hands =)

I love the sensation from the part of the brain that gets used for drawing. Not something I’ll ever put the time in to try and develop it further.

I always liked drawing really small and detailed. Which made art class back in the day a rather pain as they wanted giant papers covered!

you should always do art in how it is most comfortable for you, too bad you couldn't ask to do the art homeworks in smaller pieces of papers :3 I think people would pursue things better and with more enjoyment if they are allowed to be a bit freer in HOW they are doing things

I've been loving your ladies of the zodiac so much Spider. Looking forward to seeing how you will personify my sign now too.

Just a different perspective on 'branching out' perhaps: From my experience, it can be fun and supportive and helpful in your personal creative development. However, it can also be SO time-consuming. At different times when I've felt I needed to put more energy into another avenue, all of a sudden, it will have my undivided attention for weeks that can turn into months. After that happening a few times, I've been working towards maintaining a more balanced approach.

I'm thinking, but don't know when I'll have time to write it all out, of sharing how I use Steemit as my main avenue and then share to other avenues from there. For me now, the work needs to be the focus and the sharing of it as streamlined as possible. Too much time online is TOO damaging for the whole being.

You don't have to put energy (thoughts, feelings you have to defend or justify) into anyone or anything Spider. Just keep being the delightful artist and being you are. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

veryspider (68) · 5 years ago

Thank you, Ally ! Your kind words always strengthen my spirit ♥︎ !!!

Yeah, I just somehow re-evaluate how much time I'm spending on social media a few replies ago, coincidentally, and really, the way I have been engaging on Steemit is not sustainable. I've made over 22,500 replies (plus 400 posts) and that averages into around 50 comments daily. This is JUST on Steemit.

It burns me out.

By comparison, I dont need to spend as much time at the other social media channels, and I'm getting a lot more meaningful engagement in return. So I think, I'll continue to scale down here at Steemit and ramp up at the external sites. This might generate a better balance in how I manage online vs offline portions in my day to day life....

I'd definitely be looking forward to Ally's account of Steemit management experience, if Ally writes such an article :)

Thank you again for the kindness and the support and the friendship you've shown me so far ! I am really glad I have met Ally * ___ * specially since Ally was one of the very few good things that came out of the worst period in Steemit that I had to go through ♥︎♥︎♥︎

50 comments in a week/month ~ With the energy that you give ~ Would be enough to give anyone burnout. I have often wondered how you do it ~ As well as having day employment. So good thinking to find ways that work for you with less time needed. So off and online can be in balance. Takes A LOT of discipline but I think it can be done. Great need to 'work smart' to whatever capacity you can personally.

Was inspired to write the article in response to @jaynie's

'Where are the VOICES of STEEM?' ~ Requesting that within the month of June everyone at PHC creates a post encouraging and inspiring people to promote Steem to the outside world as well as steering them towards embracing and assisting the newbies.

Thank you, Lars :) I appreciate hearing this :)

Others have disagreed, though, but I'm fine. I'm taking my energy and contents outside where people can't argue that I am over-rewarded or whatever. The non-paying regular old social media places~ Since I have never cashed out of Steemit, switching to the non-paying place isn't particularly hard for me.

I sometimes laugh at how silly people are on Steemit, to be honest. Every thing I make, I put it right back into powering up and still, ............. still people are accusing me of 'shady' behaviours or greed or whatever.

Had had quite enough of it, to be honest~

I tried, Cid, but it was not possible. I moved on, but they continued to talk about me behind my back. It hit a point of the-straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back a few weeks ago :(

I signed up to so many new accounts the next day because I had about enough of the bullshit. I've been cultivating those accounts since and am doing really well. Seems like my type of engagement generates favourable results, or maybe I just hit a lucky strike and got picked up in a good wave :D

Dont worry, I wont drop Steemit entirely. I've made too many friends here, but time and energy are not without limits. I'm just saying that I can't commit to Steemit the way I could before, and that, with time, there might be less and less of spidery activities on here.

But, thank you, Cid. You are very kind and I really appreciate your care and your friendship :) Am not here for the rewards, though. Am more interested in establishing a home on the internet. I am happiest when I can engage with others, get to know people, pay attention to the things they talk about, and form meaningful bonds. Am wanting to share ME, and am wanting to appreciate others who wants to share THEMSELVES in return.

Am happy now at the non-paying social media places. Am not earning anything, but getting really great engagement. Just yesterday Nicola Scott (DC comic artist of their Wonder Woman series) replied to my post and I'm like OMG I AM DYING OUT OF HAPPINESS NOOOOWWWWWWWW~

Awws, I'm waiting for Steem to become as enjoyable as others are without most caring about the rewards, I believe it will be possible and the advantages blockchain it gives will make it even better. I still browse reddit a lot because it's just better but I have hope that we will be able to create something just as good without there being people at the top raking in the money from the users using the platforms.

Kidding aside, yeah, I will do all I can for as long as I can to continue to build Steemit also :) I think there's definitely potentials here ! :D Getting involved with OCD has certainly turned my recent days into the happier phase again, so I'm definitely not going to take things for granted :D Where I can give back to others, when I still can, I shall, and OCD is certainly a place that I want to give back to ! :D

(sorry for replying to everything ever in some of @ocd posts, i can't quite control the spiderpoopies)

I was waiting for this one 😀. I like the part of the giant crab and also the lobster association, we learn new stuff everyday! I am going to check out some details on wikipedia, I'm just too curious about that Karkinos story. Thank you for that early post
