i keep talking myself up to do something like a live stream on youtube or something

and then CHICKENING OUT

im always more articulate in text and end up hashtag panicking and stuttering or getting out of breath when speaking out loud

and i keep kicking myself because DO THE SCARY THING

WHOS GONNA CARE

but its the internet

they could theoretically care

and then im back to square one UHGHGHG

then i see this on tumblr

wheezes

YOU CAN DO IT. Maybe start with scripted stuff so you can stop and delete and do takes as much as you need until you're comfortable?

I have a few written things that I could theoretically use as scripts but i have always struggled immensely to write structuredly in any sense. i think/speak very instinctively.

you can do it! you can start with a private stream for practice?

When I do presentations I just have cards with one subject on it and then I talk talk talk and go to the next one. That way it still feels natural

oh hmm, that's not a bad idea ... i have some flash cards somewhere i could use.

and hmmmmmmm komikbookgeek you're right that could be a thing. ive never streamed privately anywhere before tho let alone youtube. is that possible?

also i mean its not like i would suddenly have a bunch of people watching on youtube. i could also record prior and upload it if im that nervous

or i could just suck it up and get over my stage fright ughhhhhhhhhhh

yeah you make it private with link access only

What do you wanna stream about? :0
