Thomas Müller: "In Germany, we don't believe in superstars. We are taught from an early age to play as a team, not to shine alone.
That's why you won't see many German players winning a Ballon d'Or, but that's also why you can see 4 stars on our jersey."
@Beartrice_WoW if we realize our struggles are getting to heavy on us we need to really talk to someone loyal and who can feel the same way. I recognized so many points that fit to me too. You are tough for bringing that to the table my friend!! and you are strong!!!
It's been 1 year 3 months since I quit my finance job to be a full time content creator and I thought I'd share things I've struggled with so others know they aren't alone. Everyone posts about the highs but rarely do they talk about the struggles:
1. I'm lonely. Although I'm surrounded by community members & talk to people on stream, I miss the small talk in an office. The "how was your weekend" and just noises while you're working. On stream, I don't hear the voices back or see body language. I miss that. This has manifested into a lot of really bad mental health days or "meh" days. Probably some of the worst I have ever experienced.
2. I put too much pressure on myself & measure my self worth by how hard I work. If I'm not working all day, or if I've stuff scheduled, I feel like I am failing or I'm lazy.
3. I've forgotten how to relax and I cant switch my brain off. I cant shut the door on work. Every day, all day, I'm working on content, posting on socials, engaging, chatting & planning streams. Often when im sat with James, like right now with this post.
4. I miss routine. As someone with ADHD, managing my own time has been hard. I didn't really think that I would still need a structure. When making my own schedules, I often rebel against them which is a constant battle for me as time has gone on.
5. Working for yourself doesnt mean freedom. You do have the freedom to work when you want, but you have to work during the times that your audience is online to grow.
6. I mask at events. People are used to seeing bubbly loud confident Bear on stream, which is the real me. However, when im around people ive never met, im shy and socially awkward. I have to skip that step at events which is incredibly draining. I dont want to be seen as snobby when im just shy. I struggled so much at LFG London this year and i dont know why.
7. I have no idea how to ask about sponsorships or partnerships. I struggle to sell myself and worry my numbers arent good enough. That im not good enough.
8. I feel like an imposter. I feel like I don't deserve any of my success. I don't like talking about it as it makes me feel out of touch and I never want to be the centre of attention. I always think that any success I see is because I got lucky. I have worked hard but I just dont feel deserving.
9. I'm sensitive to abuse and toxicity and worry im not strong enough. I've had to report people to the police. Ive been afraid to attend events due to threats. I shouldnt have to deal with that.
10. I worry about getting used by others. Im easily manipulated and struggle to see who is genuine. Im also a people pleaser who hates upsetting anyone so I find it hard to say no.
11. Financial pressure. Even mentioning this makes me feel dirty as I dont want my community to feel like they have to help. No matter if its a good or bad month, i cant stop worrying about bills and the savings pot running out.
12. Niche & Numbers. I'm known as a Warcraft content creator and feel like I cant branch out in case my community leave or my numbers plummet. I desperately want to do variety as ive played games since I was little. Ive said I'll stream variety but inside I'll be panicking!
13. Networking is hard. I feel i dont do or say enough in other communities. If I do, I feel guilty that im not chatting in my own.
There are sooo many things I love about streaming and content creating too... its why ive been doing it for so long, I just wanted to talk about some of the bad things people don't talk about.
If any of you experience the above, you aren't alone ❤️
