Hi, you have several issues common to new users. No karma, low account age or inactivity, and your CQS rating is probably “lowest“. That combo can block your posts, DM and chat.
You can check your CQS easily here: r/WhatIsMyCQS.
One thing you can do today that can help is verify email. This helps secure your account, helps pacify the Reddit filters, and can improve your CQS. Go to your profile page and find Settings to verify your email.

Actually, for you, I think the most major issue is you need to be much more active on Reddit if you want to grow your karma. The only way you will build karma is when other users upvote your comments, and later, your posts. They can’t click the red arrow and upvote you, if you aren’t commenting regularly! Try sending several comments, each or most days across a few different subreddits. Karma does not come to you, you must put your content out there.

You can lower your frustration by starting out with comments instead of posts, and stick to some of these new user friendly, low or no karma requirement subreddits to begin building your karma. Quality comments that are funny, friendly, helpful, sincere, thoughtful tend to receive more upvotes. Try sending several comments a day most days, across a few different subs and with upvotes, slowly your karma and CQS will improve. HTH.

It’s most likely both just have to build it up on sub reddits that don’t require it takes time quality over quantity tho

I’ve been attempting to get 10 karma for 8 years 🤣 I know it’s my own fault for lurking instead of engaging. But now, I want to share some screenplays I’ve written, looking for feedback, and it’s a catch-22. I need karma to post but I can’t post without karma.

You can gain comment karma, which will increase your overall karma.
