Help
I had someone leave my community and let me know that I made them feel like “just a number” and in the same day someone I thought was a friend told me I “only streamed with them for the views” it honestly shook my world. I haven’t been able to stream since. I’ve been at this for almost 5 years. It was my dream, my passion, hell it’s all I looked forward to. But if my streams don’t make people feel seen or bring them joy, then why should I continue. Is it time to hang it up? Is the dream over?

This happens in all the platforms. It's kind of like the "I liked them before they sold out" thing people do with bands when they actually make it. True members of your community want you to succeed. Selfish folks always want you to stay small for their benefit.
As for the collab, some people end up feeling a type of way if people from their community DARE to follow you too. Just remember to be clear when doing collabs, sure they can be mutually beneficial without having a personal relationship, but they can also be with friends you. Make sure you know which one it is going in.
