Nobody thinks about you more than you do

The thing that I think creators overthink the most— they don't want to create something that people will judge them for. They're so worried about what the people in their immediate current life state will feel about what they do. I know when I started making YouTube videos again when I was in college, it came from realization that like, hey, I finally don't care. I'm not obsessed with like my image in front of all these people I went to high school with. I can make these videos, it can be cool to me and people on the internet, and I don't need the approval of these people in my life. And it's a phrase as old as time, but like nobody's thinking about you more than you are. Nobody's thinking about the way you look on camera on your first 5 videos. Like I think I saw JT Barnett post something about this. It's like the content you make is not for the people in the room with you when you decide you're gonna do this. It's for the whole vast internet world. My big thing, and it's, it starts even before like you build the tech stack or you buy all the gear, is like you don't wanna start creating and you overthink your ability to create because you're just so worried about what other people think.
