The STEEMIT platform is another form of blockchain based social media which gives us another way to communicate into others. In laymans term, STEEMIT is like any other social medias like FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM but the difference is your posts are paid. A social media platform like this is helpful to introvert peoples in increasing their collaborative performance towards others and build up their self-esteem or self-confidence.
Who are those introverts?
Introverts are those who avoids social contacts and becomes preoccupied with their own thoughts. They tend to feel drained after interacting to many people personally.
The extreme growth of STEEMIT community whichs never sleeps makes it easier for introverts to communicate to other members of the platform. STEEMIT handed them mask which hides their real identity and personality which also gives them the freedom to interact and participate in the said platform.
THEIR ILLUSION TO SOCIAL INTERACTION
In STEEMIT, introverts can now portray and express themselves in a lifestyle that they don’t even have in the real world. This platform provides them the feeling being in an interaction personally to normal peoples and to exrtroverts. It serves as a bridge for them to cross the other side of their own thoughts. Being active on social platforms is now a regular occurrence for someone like them. Most importantly, through social media,introverts can find similar people. Interaction with people who function the same way develops self esteem.
INTROVERTS ON STEEMIT
They view everything, everything ! But, upvotes/likes/comments rarely. Most of them are good on online chats which are surprising for me. They may post pictures or articles maybe once in a month or maybe somebody will just tag them on their pictures. They may come online but they don't let anyone know about it. This is to avoid attentions.
WHY INTROVERTS LOVES STEEMIT
Aside from the 24/7 online interaction in the platform, STEEMIT allows them to run their social lives without having personal interaction to other people. For this reason alone is a great blessing for them. Though introverts are recharging their social batteries and enjoying some solitude from others, which is an inherently non-social activity, they can still have a perfectly active social lives through the STEEMIT platform. They can see what’s going on with their friends, have conversations to normal peoples, make plans, or add friends – all on their own terms and in the comfort and privacy of their own homes.
An introverts desire for solitude is more than preference. It is crucial to our health and happiness.
