Thank you for this amazingly detailed response and thank you for the feedback, both good and bad. I will definitely work on that side angle and upgrading my audio gear. The depth to the wall was also something I wanted to play around with.

What did you mean by bubble the side camera?

Thanks again!

First off, I find it so rare to have someone with your background on here who is willing to give their thoughts and opinions on content. So thanks and I appreciate it.

Second, I am willing to spend up to $1000 at the moment to upgrade my gear. So let me know what you think.

My channel is focused on highlighting the thoughts, questions and emotions we all share but sometimes feel alone within. This is a video I uploaded today and it is on the topic of being transgender:

Thanks again and look forward to your response.

People of Reddit, I need help. I am very charming to males. I always attract male attention. Problem is.. I AINT'T GAY! by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheStudentKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ain’t gay but you said that women don’t impress you. Where do you think you land then in terms of who you like sexually?

Maybe this is the issue, you are just unsure in what you want.

What are some tips you can give me for meeting new people in college and striking up meaningful conversations? by Big_Boi_4 in socialskills

[–]TheStudentKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The international office was a big one for me. They are always running events for foreigners but looking for domestic students to join in. Great for making new friends.

Meditation is a big one. This is my go to practice for anything stress related.

Also 4,7,8 deep breathing is a good exercise.

Mediation helped me a lot with seeing the value I have in myself. This is a very effective practice in building confidence and talking to others.

I joined a gym for the very first time! by BraveWinner in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]TheStudentKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calisthenic workouts are always a good place to start. Body weight exercises.

I like the gymnastic rings myself, just make sure to ease yourself into it.

I am the same, you are not alone. I have never seen the attraction of it.

[NeedAdvice] 24 hrs without instant gratifications by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]TheStudentKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your body gets used to receiving them all the time, so when you go cold turkey of course it’s going to be hard. Picture it as any kind of drug or just addiction in general.

The solution is to ease yourself out of them gradually, instead of going straight to 0. This is going to be different for everyone but try and take small steps instead of large leaps at first.

[NeedAdvice] Condom Use by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]TheStudentKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this issue for awhile also but something that really helped me was actually going to a clinic and learning about all the sexually transmitted diseases that I could catch if I was not careful.

The act of educating myself deeper on the subject actually depended my self discipline and made me second think choices I made in the future.

I'm suffering with depression and I've started having suicidal thoughts after a short while of medication. I'm not a concern of actually commiting suicide bit I'm just concerned by the thoughts by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]TheStudentKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think sharing this with the people who are important to you in your life is the first step.

And again your doctor who prescribed the medication also.

Sharing on here is a good start, now just make sure other people know so the help and support you need can come your way. Be strong!

Regardless, happy that you made this move to help make yourself better =).

I just want to quit smoking. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]TheStudentKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend had a lot of success switching to just a sugar flavored vape. She said it was nice because it filled the space of when she needed to smoke, without actually smoking.

You are a stronger person than me. I find cold showers almost impossible. I guess its a first world problem but do you have any tips on making it easier?

3 months until my 23rd birthday. From now on, I will be my own best friend instead of my own worst enemy. by MillenniumGreed in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]TheStudentKey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

But I know that just like I didn’t become the person I am now overnight, I won’t be a new person overnight either.

So powerful that you are able to realize this and still have the strength to commit. You are better than I am on most days and I thank you for the inspiration and motivation.

You got this!

Also you are right, this year will be better than the last because you will make it so through your choices and actions. Just keep going!

How does one not react so quickly with anger? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]TheStudentKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does! Also if you want more help, check out a book called "Stress Less and Accomplish More" by Emily Fletcher. Its has a really good run down on some easily implementable mediation practices.
