This is probably gonna sound very odd to many and its taking me a lot to even say but also feel it should be shared too. I'm being open here so cut me some slack! So I've noticed for awhile now, a big increase in more "Chill, Cozy" content, NOT A BAD THING I watch it too, however, it's created a bit of an issue for me. You guys know I'm a more energetic and louder streamer. While I understand that isn't for everyone (for various reasons), neither is the Chill meta and I shouldn't have to conform, and water myself down to survive. For context, I was ALWAYS a energetic kid. All I ever wanted was to live life as loud as possible and have fun! That was until I started to get relentlessly bullied and put down for my energy. Told to "calm down", "chill out", "shut up", etc. I was basically shoved in a box and told to be less. ONLY THEN did I become more shy, reserved, and a loner. Against my will and as a survival tactic. All that did was cause a multitude of mental health struggles that I still face to this day. Starting to stream almost 9 years ago and discovering other creators like Markiplier and Jacksepticeye gave me the courage and chance to come out of that box and be me again. In that time A LOT have happened! A lot of good and bad, sacrifices and blessings. I lost friends but gained them too. Streaming even made it where I didn't have to go back to a toxic job. Now fast forward and with the more Chill content being more in demand, it seems like my energy has become a curse and that I'm starting to get put back in that box in order to survive, and that has been seriously screwing with me. Quite frankly, I don't want to go back in that box. That's why I don't take "jokes" of my channel or content being like "sleepy" content or being told to "calm down" well at all. From the beginning I have advertised myself as a Loud, Energetic, and Interactive streamer and these days I feel less and less accepted and it honestly hurts. Like I'm being forced back into the box because "Energy isn't in" and I have to lessen myself in order to survive. Probably a long winded way of saying, sure, energetic people aren't for everyone but that doesn't mean then should have to conform to this Chill Meta either. Let us live as loud as we want without fear of judgement or being shut out and put in a box. I don't want to go back in that box. Thank you for reading and I hope I got this across ok! ๐ ๐
