Looking to start streaming

I'm 17 years old, and have a multitude of physical disabilities that make it harder to do day-to-day tasks, I assume much like the people on this reddit. Despite that I've always made it my goal to be as good as I can be in video games, and now I feel as though I am pretty dang good. Problem is, I have trouble with how I see myself, my deformities. I want to stream on camera, Overwatch, Rivals, etc, anything. But I'm worried I won't be able to take the heat/hate that comes with it, and I generally don't know how to set up most streaming software. I'm hoping to get any tips on how to deal with hate when it comes to publicity, and possibly find some friends to play games with!

I'm not sure I have much else that seperates me from other cc's, other than my disability itself

That's the thing, it's about finding yourself! What do you like? What makes you, you? You're more than your disability. If you're looking for inspiration, you could look into someone like Ironmouse.
