Daily vlogging in Public, and getting over being Shy!

totally, it has helped me a lot as of late, but now im at the stage ( usually around 2 week mark) where im like this is hard.. i could quit and do nothing, yeah i like doing nothing. lol but i enjoy vlogging, i enjoy editing, it makes me want to get out and do more stuff, i just feel like crap when the day is gone and i havnt filmed enough to make a decent video. AKA yesterday. but you will always have those days and so what.

Yeah I went thru a period where I just didn't want to edit...I have so much video footage that I just haven't gotten around to, but I do love recording things xD I just go so lazy after coming back from a roadtrip that I never would have had the courage to go on a few years ago and now i'm trying to make editing a bit more of a priority hahaha. I agree I have those videos where I think i'm going to do something so I'll film the start of the vlog,but nothing vlogworthy happens the rest of the day,or i just forget about it.[DOUBLEPOST=1395727997,1395727830][/DOUBLEPOST]Just subscribed to your channel and watched your divergent vlog. haha I hate when my camera battery dies.

Hey what's up guys, so 12 days I started daily vlogging ( for myself to see in the future, but its on youtube for the public if someone stumbles on it) and one of the hardest things about it used to be vlogging in public. I did it back in 2010 for around 40 days straight and would rarely ever vlog if someone else was around. I started again like last year and same thing.

I decided 12 days ago that screw being shy. I adopted a new philosophy in my life, and that was to stop caring and do the things you don't want to do. I am glad to say that i honestly dont give a damn about anything anymore lol. I vlog in public and do stupid s**t with my girlfriend that i would never do on a regular basis before. I try and get out of the house more, instead of staying inside and playing World of Warcrack. ( i still play a lot tho lol)

This message is for anyone who was in my shoes, Listen, i get it, being shy sucks, Take a moment and think for a second though. If you do something in public and someone looks at you and you feel shy, just keep doing it, if its something youre enjoying then who gives a damn? I know that person will probably never see me again, or if they do then so what? Life is about living, and if you are to shy to live the way you want to then i feel sorry.

Live life, record life, enjoy life!

Edit: Trying to link my vlogging channel in the " my channel" button but its being dumb.
Edit 2: Fixed it! Yay! :smug2:

Good advice! First time I did it was horrible, I kept putting the camera down and pretending like I wasn’t doing anything every time I caught someone looking. I feel stupid for acting like that now, I got used to it pretty quick though and the only I advice I would give anyone is just to do it. there’s no tricks to it and you just have to get past the awkward phase get used to being in front of a camera and talking to yourself in public. No biggie ;)

Haha soo true, I still get like that sometimes, where I'll put the camera down in certain areas where I feel like it's awkward to be vlogging, but I try to make myself do it anyways.

Yeah I think the best thing to do is power through! I think it looks weirder when you put the camera down mid-sentence, then you look really crazy haha I’ve got to a point now where I acknowledge any people who are looking. It makes me feel more relaxed about the whole thing.

It really is weird! xD That is a good technique. Yeah I wanna get to the point where I'm comfortable enough to just ask the random people to say hello to the channel haha it's always fun to meet people who see you recording and will join in on your shenanigans:woot2:
 
I haven’t managed to get my channel up and running yet but I’m nervous to get my first bit of filming done. I think filming in public would be a bit too much for me at this point. Hopefully I will do one day because I want to have a travel channel.
