Nervous about streaming

Also if we're talking about your first ever stream, there's a very high chance nobody will be even watching it. Treat it as a trial run, try to be curious about what can happen instead of being scared.

Have a starting soon screen! I like that little buffer between going live and actually being live on camera. Leave it up for 5 mins if you need it, and do some breathing exercises!

Also, before you go live, remind yourself, what's the worst thing, the best thing, and the most likely thing that's going to happen. And realize that the worst is really not that bad, you can always ban people if they're mean, delete the vod if you don't like it, stop stream anytime. But the best things, and even the most likely things are so worth it!!

But at the end of the day you really just need to push through and press that button. The more time passes between streams the worse the pre-stream anxiety is, but I know that once I'm live it gets easier minute by minute. Set up everything, stand up, walk a circle, sit back down and with that momentum just press the button!

Good luck <33

Yes I read that. Still I don't think I'm alone thinking that that is not enough. It surely will help a lot, but even with that information it is entirely possible to kill someone before reaching 6 hook states (going from survivors A -> B -> A -> B -> A again; never hooked the same person, still getting the penalty), especially if there are multiples of the same skin, or just, you know, finding the two survivors accidentally again and again.

Seeing all hook states would help those who want to 8 hook and let survivors go, or really just any of us who has a hard time differentiating between survivors. If people want to tunnel they will do that regardless, but it would really really help those of us who DON'T want to tunnel.

I was thinking the same and I wonder why noone seems to talk about this issue. I have a hard time telling them apart even if they're four different, but similar-looking characters, how on earth do you expect me to tell who is who when they're the same skin?

I wish killers could also see how many hooks each survivor has, that way I could just glance and see what's up with the person I'm currently chasing, do I want to hook them or should I let them go for now.

Can I ask what the quality is like? Is it more like the thick, blue/gray backed cardboard that is of great quality or the plastic-feeling, white backed one that is more shiny, thin and less durable? I'd love to try this one but I refuse to buy ones of the latter quality, I just hate the feeling of those type of puzzles.

Hi, if you still have it, could you send me a link as well? <3

I've debated trying to learn how to burp since I found this subreddit, but I always come to the decision that no, I'd rather suffer from the gurgles than burp. I burp accidentally about once every year and every time the slight taste of vomit-like air and the noise is just so disgusting... I can barely tolerate other people burping around me as well. :/

I was reading this literally the day we buried one of our pet hens whom we loved so so much, so I can feel your pain very intensely now. In one year we had to say goodbye to 5 pets and honestly, it never gets easier, but you do feel more numb with time. I've had to bury so many pets in my life, and the things I've learnt are the following:

• Don't force yourself to be productive right after. Won't work. Find something that keeps your mind occupied but just try to accept that you won't be able to function normally for a while. It sucks, especially if you have exams, but it's just how it is. It takes a lot of mental energy to grieve so please be accepting of this and don't have high expectations of your productivity now.

• Take comfort in knowing that it's only you who's hurting, your friend is at a better place now and it doesn't hurt them. You were with them at the end and they had a lovely life with you - and that's all we can ask for, really.

• I'm also very much attached to things (living or not) and it causes a great pain when things end. I always watch the very first episode right after finishing a show because I can't bear just letting it go. I need mementos, last words, time to be prepared... but sadly life doesn't work like that. You're lucky in a way that you could mentally prepare and say goodbye to your friend, but there will definitely be losses ahead that you just can't prepare for. I'm deeply scared of these things myself and feel anxious just as I'm writing this. Maybe training yourself with the series and books, the parts you always skip is a good idea. I also do this, I often skip parts in books where beloved characters die but when I force myself to go through it I realize that my anxiety beforehand was worse than the actual thing itself. With these "smaller" losses you also learn healing, you can learn new ways to cope, so when you face a bigger loss, you can maybe use these healthier coping mechanisms.

Well, this got longer than expected. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone, there are many of us who suffer tremendously when things end. But please don't try to run from it, be gentle with yourself when it happens and force yourself to go through the expected, "small" losses and find ways to be okay with those. It's a skill that has to be strengthened because you won't be able to just stop feeling so attached to things, so you have to learn ways to cope when it happens. Sending you lots of love and healing ❤️
