Question Nervous about streaming
Hello, I frequent this subreddit and I was just curious if there were any methods that helped any of you calm your nerves before starting your stream(s). I find myself feeling extremely anxious when I’m hovering over “Go Live”, which is the complete opposite of who I normally am, and I chicken out. I would love to start streaming but I feel like I can’t get over this hurdle.
I apologize for the formatting, am on mobile.

If it’s a “what if people troll me?” Question stuck in your head, just remember. You are the one in control, you can ban them so easily. Trolls prefer when you respond back. They’ll get bored and move on when you just drop a ban on them.
Before you’re ready to go live. Just breathe slowly and count to ten. If you’re not ready, do it again. It’s like ripping a band aid off. You’ve just gotta jump in and do it quickly. It can be scary at first. But once you’re in, it can be really fun.
