In streaming you'll learn a lot of life lessons &truly learn about the behaviour of people.
Some people are genuine & truly kind, while others are only kind as long as there is something to get from you.
Not everyone is what they seem, and sometimes you learn that the hard way
It's time to see people for what they really are, not for what you want them to be.
Stop giving the bad people excuses for their poor behaviour.
It's not hard to be a good (or at the very least a decent) person.
Keep your distance and make sure you are good first.
If you are unhappy with some things in life, take a close look at your surroundings and find what may be the cause of it.
Could be your job, could be your friends, could be that you just need to go find a new hobby that brings you joy.
Go and find your happiness!
Some people will always take the easy route by lying, stealing and deceiving their way to be seen a certain way and to get a position they so desperately crave.
In the end it will all crumble before their eyes as nothing built on those foundations will last.
As a content creator, there will be people who will start doing the exact same thing you are doing.
Some are inspired by your work & you're the reason they've made this move.
Others just copy to get the same success you are having.
No matter what, just do your thing!
As a content creator you are in charge of setting up boundaries for your community.
Are you not happy with the behaviour of some people in the community you are creating?
Then you can either warn them that their behaviour is unacceptable, OR, remove them from YOUR community.
Sometimes you just need to sit back, and let karma work its wonders.
The people who constantly used others for their own gain will see all those gains crumble away from them one miserable day after the other.
There is nothing to do but wish them well and go about your day.
Sometimes in streaming, people won't show because of your viewer count being low and they need an audience for their dad jokes. Some people won't show simply because they way you look or which gender you are.
At the end of the day, they don't matter; those who DO show, matter.
Some people think that streaming is one big happy family, when in reality there is so much backstabbing going on. Sometimes even by those close to you.
It takes a lot of energy to keep going and trying to find the good people who are likeminded!
You've got this!
The people you hang around with will have an influence on you & the things you do, therefor directly impacting your future.
The gossipy & low vibrational people won't help you get the future you want.
Make sure that those you let in your personal space are good people.
Always make sure to be respectful to the streamers that you visit.
Don't self promo, don't beg for followers and don't backseat game.
Simply respect the rules that are in place. It's not that hard.
Help your fellow streamers out by..
Lurking in the streams
Engaging in social media
Commenting on content
All of these will mean a lot to help support them 🤘
The people around you can have an immediate effect on how you feel.
Surround yourself with good people who have good intentions so you yourself can feel your best at all times.
Good deeds done with bad intent will come back to hit you when you least expect or need it.
Do good things for the purpose of it being the right thing to do.
Sometimes people just need to make their own mistakes to learn life lessons.
You can share your guidance, input & experiences as much as you want but sometimes it won't stick until after a mistake is made.
It's just part of live and our personal growth.
Remember who were there for you no matter what was happening or where you were at in life.
Sometimes people like to show up only when you are doing good & when there is something to gain.
Suddenly you become part of the group when you were an outcast at first.
Be careful!
Streaming can be very tough mentally.
It could be the stresses of making things run right, or trying to fit in somewhere.
Whenever you feel stressed and mentally exhausted, take a step back and look at your situation.
What's causing the problem and how can it be solved?
People always seem to forget there are 2 sides to a story.
But when you find yourself in a situation where you need your side explained, don't bother.
Those who care enough will know where to find you.
Save your energy for the things that matter!
