@Steemit is a big family, many will connect with you and many will ignore you on your way up. Don't worry becuase not everyone will be able to complete the journey. If you find a way to keep moving on I promise you that, you will be pround of yourself.
Personal Experience
I started with no follower but as i was patiance and believe in the process @steemit I have more than 40 followers now and high reputation as I try to bring out the best in me. I am pround of that. Many started just like you and now they are where they are because they were willing to reach where they are now.
