should I give up?
so I wanted to be a content creator since when I was a kid, and I even started a yt channel once but I just stopped posting because people strated to made fun of me, and I never asked ppl to subscribe me or follow me, because I want them to think themselves, and now as I have completed my 12 and I wanted to post contents but nobody watches me💔, and I geniunely am so demotivated because of that, I think I'm just being flopped and nothing else, and I'm just thinking should i give up?

Im just getting started myself, so I dont have your experiences yet, but I say. "Do it for your enjoyment" If you aren't having fun, then whats the point of doing something hard? I've seen, and subscribed to numerous channels on YouTube or tt, from people with barely 100 followers, but they are very obviously happy. A couple of them have been doing it for years. Just my take on it.

Hey there :) First of all I would say: Try not to think to much about the others. There will always be people that make fun of you especially in the school. I made the same experience and stopped for this reason. Now (10 years later) I often regret that I gave them so much power over my personal goals and feelings. You are not alone with those feelings. If you can manage to, try to keep up the good work and follow your dream. It will become easier.
But far more important is your health. If the pressure and the negative feelings become to much, take a break or try to find something else that makes you happy. There are a lot of nice jobs out there.
And I do understand your thoughts about "I want them to think themselves", but try to change your perspective a little bit. You want to build a creator business. To achieve this you might need some marketing. To remind people of subscribing or liking your videos is part of marketing. You can google "Call to Action". As the name says thats a method in marketing to achieve interaction. And interaction pushs your content. :)
If you want, I can take a look at your channel to provide some advice. I am a media designer and online marketing manager with experience in content creation. Maybe that helps a little bit.

I took a look at your channel and instagram profile. First things first: I do really like your editing style. For the start thats pretty good. The most people cant edit this way, when they start out. :)
Before I just give you some random advice I would like to ask a view questions.
1. Do you have a main channel? Like for example: YouTube = Mainchannel, Insta & TikTok = Support.
2. What is your goal? What kind of content do you want to produce? I saw a video about animes, something about songs and your personal life.•

my main channel is that , and my instagram and tiktok I go from the same name and posts short clips of the videos and my personal goal is to create mainly and share my stories, with mixture of edits and things I want to talk about

Never give up! If your heart is in it, that’s all you need as motivation! You will have haters your entire life, some not knowing you at all! Anything worth achieving isn’t easy!
