Congratulations! From what I've seen here you really deserve it. Seems like you have done a lot for this platform and that's something really commendable. I started my journey just about three months ago so I don't know too many people here. Also, partially because I have the same problem you had of being too reserved at times. One day I can talk to million people and then I need like a week of rest from interactions, haha.

One of the biggest challenges on Hive, as on any social platform, is avoiding feelings of jealousy or envy towards others who have achieved success or recognition.

I gotta admit, I never understood this. Why waste time and energy on something as useless as jealousy? I get that sometimes you might feel that someone's success isn't fair but that doesn't take away anything from you anyway, haha.

My biggest takeaway from this is working on collaborations. I admit I suck at this. I would rather work alone at all times but I guess that isn't the best approach to community-driven platforms, ha?

Thanks for the story and advice, and once again, congrats! :)
