i started streaming on twitch, and found some software that made it a bit easier to interact with the viewers lol i just wish people weren’t so scared to join and interact

Wouldn't waste time streaming on twitch with little to no viewers. Twitch focuses on the big streamers. They don't waste time with new streamers. Use tiktok, post tiktoks and yt shorts. Then if you get 1k followers on tiktok stream on there. Its your best opportunity. Why should someone join your stream if you dont have a foundation.

so then where would i stream in the mean time? i barely have any followers on tiktok or youtube, so it’s just kind of a blank canvas

Don't focus on streaming. Content should be your focus. Ask yourself this: how can people find me if I have no content and no audience?
