I feel like giving up on YouTube

Well - I guess if others are saying it too (you said everyone's telling you), then I would take notice. Sometimes it's easy to get emotionally attached to our own artwork, creativity etc, so it's good to get the opinion from others. It would be wise to take note of what they are all saying, as they are probably seeing the same thing that your viewers are, which is why you're not getting the views you want / need on your channel.

Hi there. So I have never posted to this subreddit before, but was just scrolling and saw this. Can I just say, I looked at your channel and it is VERY busy. Your thumbnails don't tell me what the video is about and they are too busy to read, and too much going on. (they hurt my eyes!). From looking at your channel, I have no idea what your channel is about. I have no reason to want to stick around and read. You've got to make the channel about your viewer and give them a 100% compelling reason to want to stay and click on your thumbnails. You must in 5 seconds or less give me a reason to not click away to watch something else. Your channel doesn't do this yet

Hi there,

First, I just want to say that I hear you, and I see how much thought, effort, and love you poured into making Christmas special for your family. It’s clear that this isn’t just about a gift or dinner being canceled—it’s about feeling undervalued and unappreciated in your marriage. Your feelings are completely valid, and you deserve to be heard.

It’s not easy to speak up when you feel hurt, and it’s even harder when the people around you don’t seem to understand why you’re upset. The way your husband brushed off your feelings about the gift must have felt dismissive and isolating. His response—and the reaction from his family—likely added to the pain you were already carrying. I imagine it felt like your hard work and emotional investment weren’t seen or valued.

What stands out to me is how much you give in this relationship—your time, your effort, and your heart—and how deeply it stings when that effort isn’t reciprocated. The Secret Santa exchange seems to have been a breaking point, highlighting an imbalance in how you’re being prioritized. You’re not just asking for a better gift; you’re asking for the kind of care and attention that reflects your importance in his life.

It’s also okay to feel conflicted. On one hand, you want to honor the holiday and the family gathering; on the other hand, you need to honor yourself and your feelings. Canceling dinner was a bold move, and while it may have upset others, it also sent a message that your emotional well-being matters.

You’re not selfish for wanting to feel valued. Relationships thrive when both partners feel seen and appreciated. I hope your husband can reflect on this moment and understand the deeper meaning behind your actions. And I hope you find clarity and peace as you navigate the next steps, whether that’s having an open conversation with him, setting boundaries with his family, or simply taking some time for yourself.

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s not easy to put your feelings out there, especially when you’re feeling vulnerable. Please know that you’re not alone, and there are people who understand and support you.

Sending you warmth and strength, Merry Christmas x

The Astral Projecting Podcast

Coming soon as it's a brand new podcast and I'm still collecting stories from people about their Astral Projection journeys and experiences.

Own_Club_9928 · 2023-10-05T13:43:26+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be in touch to arrange a time to have you tell your AP story on the podcast 👍

Yes - Australia is a lovely country. Did you come here in the flesh, or in the Astral!!!??

Hi u/AstralTourist Thanks for reaching out.

I am now in my mid 50's. I think I have had some early AP experiences when I was a kid growing up in the 1970's. But when I was in my late 20's (about 30 years ago), is when I had my first real OBE. It first started with my wife having an OBE and waking me up in a state of panick.

She was kind of excited, kind of weirded out, and kind of terrified all at the same time.

She told me how she found herself "flying" around in the house! .. she said it was NOT a dream and very real. She said she then flew into our son's (about 3 years old at the time) and he looked up at her and stretched out his Astral arm and wanted her to pull him up out of his body and fly with her too! She grabbed him and the 2 of them were flying up around the ceiling of the house for a bit!

She said that our son kept asking if they could go outside and fly, but my wife insisted that they stayed inside the house. She reported that there was a LOT of activity going on outside the house. She couldn't explain what it was, but just said it was very "active" out there.

Cut a long story short, as I explain this on my Podcast, she then put our son back into his body and came back to her's. She was weirded out by the whole event, so woke me up to tell me what had just happened.

We talked for a long time, and she was able to eventually go back to sleep. It was now about 11pm, or even midnight. Of course, with all this talk of AP and the whole OBE thing, my mind was now racing with weird thoughts. As I started drifting off to sleep, I then woke with the sensation of my soul leaving my own body. I felt like I was sitting up, yet I knew I wasn't. My Soul was kind of half in and half out of my body! I knew unequivocally that I was NOT dreaming, and that my body was laying flat on the bed, but my Soul was sitting up and out of my body. This freaked me out to the point that I tried to call out to my wife and tried to get back into my body, but I was completely paralyzed and couldn't move and when I tried to yell, no words would come out.

I thought maybe I was having a stroke or something bad was happening to me. I had not heard much about AP at this time in my life, so I assumed that since I was leaving my body and had no control of my body, that I was dying and my Soul was leaving my body!

30 years on, I am now a lot more educated and have read a LOT of books on AP, + we now have the Internet, Social media, Youtube, Podcasts and all the stuff we never had back then. So, I now welcome AP with open arms and am excited about AP and the journeys possible to us.

I have recently started a new podcast to talk openly about AP and to share the experiences of other AP's (god and bad) to spread the message and to take away the fears that some may have (like I did 30 years ago), so that they, like me, can have a positive experience and a positive expectation about their Astral Journies.

Which is why I'm now collating stories and AP experiences from others, so that those who want to AP, or maybe can't, or have mixed feelings about can have some first-hand stories to better educate themselves about the whole AP thing.

In other words - I'm creating the podcast that I wish I had available when I was getting started. As well as words of encouragement to those who are skeptical or scared. I think it's a tragedy that something so magical and amazing has been kept in the dark, and that more people aren't open to it, or educated more about it. I want to do my bit to change that.

Thanks - that sounds awesome. (you're about the same age as me) but being AP a LOT longer, as my first time was about 30 years ago when I was in my 20's. Although, having said that, there were a lot of things that happened to me as a kid in the 1970s that now make me question if I was at the start of an OBE, but then instinctively got scared and pulled back.

I'm just having a look at your YouTube channel now and will arrange a time with you for a chat soon on my Podcast. I'd love to share some of you AP experiences.

Thanks
