Are you embarrassed to be doing Youtube?

The only people I'm keeping it from is people from work. They're not my friends really, we just happen to be in the same building complaining about the same stuff and comparing hours :')
I work in retail which means there is a lot of under 25's and I don't think I can be bothered with them all finding it and them working it into passing comments. I'm proud of my channel, I love what I make and it makes me happy but for the sake of my own sanity, they don't need to know :)
 
My classmate told me once that she had seen my video about serological conflict and she still didn't get it...

I do not share my channel with firends, that would be awkward.

Hello, Everyone! I wanted to know how you feel about doing Youtube. Do you ever feel weird about telling your friends or parents about your youtube channel? What do they think about it?

I understand there may be a lot of people that don't really get it, so I wondered if anyone on here tried to keep in private. Let me know what you guys think!

My closest friends know and some of my family knows, I wouldn't want my town to find out though, because there are a lot of massive faggots living around here, my family and friends support me, they even want to be featured in some of the videos, which I happily say "yes" to.
 
I think a great deal of our fears in telling others about our channels stems from the fact that when we talk to the camera, we open ourselves up. We speak in a way that no other person gets to see us. We get to act a certain way that, around other humans, we hide. It can be empowering when strangers know and love that personality, but when those who are close to us find out about that person inside, we feel vulnerable because we know that our loved ones' opinions matter so deeply that any critique could send our channel spiraling downward.

Have faith in your content. Have conviction in who you are, and when you share it, know that you are sharing it because it means something and has value to you.
 
At one point I was, but now I am beyond proud. This is my dream and I am going to do whatever it takes (in a positive and clean way lol) to achieve my goals. I keep quiet around the ones I know will try to tear me down and honestly just let my progress do the talking for me. This is what I love and I am going to stick with it!
 
Nah I get more attention than ever with death threats, ridicule, and spam than ever since I started. I feel like a real celebrity now.
 
I'm not embarrassed as such, I love what I do alot. But I tend not to talk about it to my family, due to the fact that they don't think there's any point in it and don't support me really with it. So I usually make excuses when I want to get new equipment for video creating. For example when I got a new camera for Christmas I just told them that I would use it for Photography for college.
 
Sometimes its embarrassing, but I figured who cares. One day I said to myself if I don't want select people not seeing my videos then what am I doing? I should feel pride in whatever I'm doing. Go all the way or go home.
