How has YouTube changed you?

it has made me a lot more confident in a few ways:
1. confident in my creativity - seeing the positive responses to my videos, the quick growth of my channel, and the longevity of my presence on YouTube (I had a prior channel in 07-09 ish) makes me realize i should be more confident in my creative outlets.
2. confident in my body - editing footage of myself filmed by either myself or others allows me to see myself in a new light and from a new angle, and i'm always surprised by how "fine" I look. It reminds me not to be self conscious.
3. confident in my purpose - The purpose of my channel was meant to be about spreading positivity and overall creating something meaningful. Despite the fact that I have not been able to create much that I would consider "meaningful", I see the positive ways in which my videos affect others and I think that I shouldn't have such a narrow view of "meaningful".

How about you?? Great question!! :)
 
I care less about negative opinions from other people and even from myself. There were times where doubts filled my mind, but I kept going anyways.

I'm not motivated by money and fame because that got me no where

I lost my ego, so I don't care if I do well or horrible on Youtube. I just enjoy the journey!

I have become more creative and artistic! I am not really serious YouTuber, but when I YouTube, I make sure everyone watches it and comments!
Before YouTube i was living a boring life, but not anymore!
 
I'm much better at keeping up conversations and speaking in front of crowds. And what to do if I run out of things to say. Since my channel is so focused on talking consistently and alone for like 20 minutes at a time, I've learned how to keep talking, which helps during oral presentations, things like that. At least, for me!
 
Well before YouTube when I used to procrastinate I felt like "ah I'm relaxing" now when I procrastinate I feel like "I should really be doing some work" xD
 
A bit like everybody else: It has made me more confident in myself, my skills, my ideas. It gives me a goal to work towards which keeps me motivated and excited for the future :)
