Well, at first I joined youtube because my online friends from around the world wanted to see me and hear my voice, so I made two videos for them. Then, about 6 months after that and after being inactive, I actually started thinking that why not? Why not start an actual channel? Besides I had nothing to do in my free time, I was always bored, and had too much time in my hands in general. So I went from there.
I'm hoping youtube will open up new opportunities for me and I'm also hoping it'll help me become more confident. I am a very shy person in real life, and youtube is my way to express myself as I find opening up to people really hard.
And since I started posting my videos on facebook, people that knew nothing about me before, know more now, because on my channel I can express my opinions and thoughts on things
I might also come across as cold or not caring in real life to some people, since I don't socialize much - through youtube I can show people that I am not like that at all.
