I started blogging, podcasting, videos, and now live-streams because I had serious problems with putting myself in public spaces. Even when it wasn't in person.

By forcing myself to do the very things I feared, I overcome them and now feel way more comfortable and confident in myself and my skills.

To all, I recommend putting yourself out there, yes it will be painful but you'll grow more than you ever imagined.

Especially in safe welcoming environments like dev.to
