"Embarrassed" about youtube?

Its kind of a mixed bag for me. I have some friends that actively share my enthusiasm for YouTube that I spoke with about starting a channel way before I actually made up my mind to do so. When I went through with it and told them about it, they were really supportive and help give me critiques so I can get better regularly. However, I'm not really comfortable telling some people that I sit in a room by myself and record myself talking about random crap to a camera to put on the internet. I'm hoping to get over it in time, but it's still a bit strange to me.
 
lol I was never embarrassed when we first started but then I didn't realise how crap my old videos were and honestly I'm more embarrassed that people might find them now, rather than when I made them xD

I guess I just overcame the embarrassment by just improving my videos until I was genuinely happy with them. Also by being mainstream and adding comedy sketch videos so when people ask what videos I do I don't have to sigh and say Minecraft as I feel the judgement raining down :3

So about 2 and a half weeks ago I started Youtube, I was very shy so I didn't tell anyone because I was "embarrassed", but a couple days ago I told my friends about my Youtube, at first I was "embarrassed," but overcame it and my friends supported me, and now Iv gotten more subs and views ever since.

Moral of the story is have you ever been "embarrassed" when you first uploaded, and what happened how did you overcome it?

I gotta admit when I first started my youtube channel I only told my family and once I got some positive feedback from them and from the youtube community i told my friends and they were also super supportive and even offered to appear as a guest :)
 
My first few videos on my old channel were very cringe, and they were played on projectors in my old school, so I got very embarrassed but since then people who laughed actually compliment me on them so I guess I won ;)

People at my school found out about my YouTube. Worst mistake of my life...

I used to work at a large financial corporation and I didn't talk about it at work for years, just a few people who I knew would appreciate it. I wasn't embarrassed so much as I wanted to keep that part of my life separate from my professional life. Some people don't understand and say insensitive stuff like "you must have too much free time" when they hear about the videos. Now that's kind of ironic because now I work on YouTube full time and don't have to go to a job at all!

I have a similar situation where the people who did find out often were like "oh that's nice" or "that's a cute little hobby" but they mostly thought I had too much free time or didn't get it. Haha which is funny because I kind of live at work. So I'm not embarassed per se but mostly no one at work is really interested or "gets it" so I don't really go out of my way to announce it.
