Nervous when uploading a video?

I get nervous trying to record myself I always seem to mess up or I always think in my head what I am saying doesn't sound right

Well, as the saying goes, You can please all the people some of the time, or some of the people all the time. Your best bet is to try your best. If it isn't quite on par with the bigger channels, that's fine. We all have to start somewhere. I'll be honest, I usually have to restart audacity about two or three times whenever I record because I hate having weird intros. If I mess up during the middle of the video, oh well.
 
I 200% agree. Every time I'm editing a video all i can think is, "what are people going to think, will they enjoy this? Or am I going to make myself look like more of a fool for this". Then again, I always look like a fool
 
Some really good responses guys, glad that the feeling is mutual and by the sounds of it tends to disappear or lessen as time goes on.

Honestly, you just get used to it. While I haven't had any bad comments on this channel, I do have a second channel that I mainly use for watching videos from my subscriptions. I did make videos on it at one point. They were terrible quality Let's Plays with a camcorder. One time, I got nearly 200 views on my third part of Super Mario Galaxy in less than a day. I was super excited until I read the comments. One guy put "You have got to be f**ing kidding me. By the way, the Japanese Text doesn't make you look cool, it makes you look like a f**ng idiot."
It should be noted that I imported my Wii from Japan so I was playing Japanese games. I didn't use the Japanese version to "look cool", I simply did it because that was all that I had.
So, you might be wondering why I took the time to write out my story of one of the worst comments that I got. Well, to put it simply, you never know how good/bad the general reaction to your videos is going to be. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it could be pretty bad. But that's not what matters. To quote what NintendoCapriSun once said on one of my Super Mario Galaxy video "You'll hear some strange things in comments sometimes; all that matters really is that you just do your own thing." You just have to keep pushing and improving yourself. You'll come to ignore the haters eventually.

I'm really sorry to hear you had such negative and abusive comments like that. Pretty sure a lot of us must know the feeling though, I had one the other day telling me to delete my channel from YouTube. Personally I feel a lot of people disengage with the thought that they're commenting to real people.

I don't really get nervous uploading or making the videos anymore. I get more nervous sharing them. That's my biggest down about it lol. But usually I know when a video i make sucks or not. So i just kind of anticipate it. Shoot..i WISH i got hateful comments and stuff....idk why but it makes me feel 100000 better about myself for some reason. I guess if people are hating on me it just makes me feel like they care about me some way and as long as you care to watch my videos, I don't really care lol. But yeah the nerves hit. And when i know its a good video, I get super excited to upload but the one thing i will NOT do is watch my videos on youtube itself. I just don't like to personally lol. But dat jus be me doe.

I hear you, sharing it is probably worse. Someone once said, don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches. Which I think sums things up quite nicely.
 
Yeaaaaahhh buddy! I would say the first thing you need to do is be true to yourself, know and own your flaws, because when you don't and other people point it out either you will get really discouraged or learn to embrace it one way or another.
 
It's normal to be anxious about what people will think about your video, but the most important thing is to be happy with WHAT YOUR MAKING. If you like it, own it. Your viewers and subs should subscribe for your personality and style, but still respect what you want to make.
 
i never really get nervous most of the time i know when my content is appealing enough if im not confident with the outcome ill just scrap the video.
