VTuber/Streamer Questions

☆ Do you have any advice for new streamers?

☆ Start as a hobby and don't focus on 'business things' until you know you actually LIKE streaming! ☆
once you figure out if you like it, it's extremely important to decide if you want streaming to be a hobby or a career.
If you want it to be a career, you need to treat it like a job. you need to take it seriously, you need to learn how to run a business and you need to treat it like your business.**If you give hobby effort expecting business results you will forever be disappointed and stressed. **And remember- it's okay to stream as a hobby and just go live when you feel like it and hang with friends!! It's okay to do that for a while and then decide you want to make it a career too! you just have to be able to shift your focus a little and be willing to learn the business stuff too.☆ practice real, effective networking.
Real networking takes a lot of time- often your personal time, because real networking is basically just making friends.
You get to know people, take an interest in them and in their community so that you have an actual relationship with someone and you learn whether or not you have values that match.
Cold DM reach outs, dropping PNGs and advertising your stream in someone's chat rarely creates long-lasting friendships with people.☆ don't spend a ton of money before you know you like streaming. p l e a s e . stream to your friends, develop your personality as an entertainer, find your niche and find your community. I started building my community through the ASMR roleplays i made- some people followed me over because liked me and some people didnt because they just wanted the asmr and that's okay!! but you have to build a community. what kind of leader do you want to be? focus on that instead of a $3k model <3☆ dont rush yourself.
'big' vtubers didnt get to where they are overnight. they made content off twitch, they streamed, they built communities, they had hobbies and passions for YEARS before they got to where they are. Don't get discouraged!☆ just have fun dude. if you're only worried about the algorithm you won't succeed. do something you're passionate about and don't be afraid to have passion. be patient, have fun, make friends.

ADHD / C-PTSD

☆ You got brain stuff??

Yeah!
I have ADHD and C-PTSD (Complex PTSD)

☆ Okay, so you have a mental illness?

ADHD is actually NOT mental illness!
It is a physical, neurological disorder and is poorly named.
c-ptsd is complicated. look it up :')

☆ Haha, "look a squirrel" right?

lol no. ADHD is a chronic dopamine deficiency disorder [whether through not creating enough of the neurotransmitters in the first place, or burning through them exponentially faster than neurotypical people].
we operate on a consistently lower level of 'happiness chemicals' than neurotypical people.it's more like-

☆ minds or bodies racing because 'brain want dopamine'.
☆ object permanence and memory issues
☆ rejection sensitivity, mood swings, anxiety, depression or PTSD
☆ "executive dysfunction"
☆ trouble sleeping.
☆ [TW eating disorders] disordered eating habits, eating disorders, appetite issues and food sensitivity including texture or smell sensitivity.
☆ PDA (pathological demand avoidance) being physically unable to do something that is being demanded or expected of you, emotional reactions to being told what to do, not going to the bathroom or eating until you finish what you're doing.and honestly so much more.Be kind, be patient and understand that it's not a matter of 'well my adhd friend should learn to fix it' and instead is a matter of 'my adhd friend needs a little compassion and understanding.'

☆ Shouldn't you just go to therapy and learn to get better and not do those things??

that's not how it works. it is a physical disorder.
When we do something that bothers you, or feels weird/rude to you (i.e. forgetting an important date or interrupting you); remember it's not personal. Remove your ego from the situation- I am begging you.
be kind and be willing to talk about something that bothers you because chances are, it's not on purpose and we may have little control over it :<

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)

☆ What is C-PTSD?

Complex PTSD refers to PTSD that develops as a result of long term traumatic stress

☆ Will you talk about what caused yours? I'm really curious.

Long term child abuse/psychological abuse and unsafe home environment.
I speak on it for educational purposes at my own discretion.
I don't answer unprompted questions about it. My trauma is not meant for entertainment or morbid curiosity and isn't a focus of my content overall

☆ Why do you talk about these things at all, if that's the case?

it's something i'm actively working through. I have reactionary symptoms that are worsened by my adhd [like rejection sensitivity or being unable to speak under stress] and I personally am more comfortable with people being aware that those reactionary symptoms are: possible, not their fault, and something im working on.I also want to advocate for not treating adhd like it's a quirky personality trait, so im just honest about it.

Immunodeficiency

☆ What's wrong with u?

(why do people phrase it like this??? lol)
I have an autoimmune disease. It is an AID, but no i don't have AIDS. I have Hasimotos Thyroiditis.

☆ So your thyroid just doesnt work?

It's doing its best :')improper thyroid function is a result, but not the cause.
My immune system basically attacks the cells in my thyroid as if they were a threat.
autoimmune diseases often manifest in clusters and so, while hashimotos was the first issue for me, it also manifested with other autoimmune issues/reactions as well.

☆ how do you manage it?

medication, regular blood testing and specialized diet

☆ Does it affect you a lot?

Sort of and sometimes. If my medication is right, i'm usually pretty okay, lol.
it can cause other immune reactions, issues with digestion, insomnia, general fatigue and sleepiness as well as cognitive functions (i.e. "brain fog")
