Nice one Menta!
I feel you, I am on that same journey and people just edit out the bit when you weren't doing that well, and highlight the bits where you are.
It is usually a combination of things, but most of all, I think it's survivorship bias, and people can't help it until it's pointed out to them.
I hear you with the projects as well, I have about 3 half completed projects on the go at the mo and another 2 that desperately need my attention!
You're right about Steem, you won't abandon this one; quite the opposite, it will cause you to abandon the rest! (Not completely though :-) )
Thanks for your comments.
