Hi @Juniperus !
Don’t worry, we’re all in for enjoying music in all facets it can offer us.
Everybody is free to use the material in the fashion and at the speed they desire.
We DO encourage to share but sharing can mean a lot of things;
ideas, opinions, dreams, purchases, samples, comparisons, recordings, advice,…
It’s hard to tell where people will go to and how they will grow. I though I would never perform and never sing and play guitar together and now these are the things I enjoy most in life. If I couldn’t predict that for myself, how can one expect from you to grow towards being a performer? perhaps you grow into composing stuff? Or you find super effctive methods to medidate through music? Or you find a whole new level of understanding and enjoying music, privately but profoundly? those are all wonderful paths 
Meanwhile ther is a spin-off thread about “peer pressure” …
because it is an interesting topic but it does not need to happen here
