I very rarely post on social media, but these kinds of sincere topics can usually get me to open up a bit.
A couple of months ago I finally got myself to give streaming another shot. I’ve always wanted to see where it leads, but was unable to enjoy it properly due to social anxiety and the fact that up till now I had an unhealthy relationship with the Internet. A couple of years ago I went through therapy, which helped me with these issues, so when an opportunity arrived, I just jumped in without a second thought.
So far it’s been a rollercoaster, I’m still struggling to figure out my style, as well as get more comfortable with streaming by myself (I am quite introverted myself, and I usually do it with my guild members which makes it easier for me to not have to constantly “be on”). I’m also struggling to find a consistent audience, but despite all of these things, the overall microscopic spikes of people checking it out are worth it for me.
So, for the next year, I hope to figure these things out and get a consistent audience going. I still have no idea what I want to do with it, aside from “I just want to try it properly”. It also helped me step away from my day-to-day job and have something to do that is completely different.
Another thing that I also hope to do is move out of my current apartment and get away from this dreadful neighborhood, but that will happen eventually. It’s just a matter of time, and I can’t control how it develops.
If you are comfortable, shoot me a link! I’d love to check it out. I don’t often have time to sit and watch, but it would be cool to check it out. Good luck!
