I don't 'hide my face' because of my appearance- people who knew what I looked like saying "but you're pretty" isn't helpful. I don't show myself on cam anymore because it's exhausting, being camera ready and perceived is TIRING. And VTubing is honestly a breath of fresh air and FUN - ThreadSky

That's why I went with vtubing! I wanna HAVE FUN and be silly without having to put on makeup or feel pressured to look cute. Plus it's really, really fun to make models

I'm now experiencing some health issues, coupled with medication I started last year that makes me fatigued.

If I hadn't found something for my comfort, I likely wouldn't be streaming now.

This is one of my favorite things about vtubing. The avatar between you and your audience relieves so much pressure because physical appearance is completely eliminated as a factor. You're free to be you! And that's great!

Literally!! I feel more expressive too, which sounds ironic but I don't feel so stiff because i'm not so nervous!

Hell yeah, it is. I can barely handle being perceived IRL, I can't do that on stream and be expected to actually be myself. It has nothing to do with 'being attractive' and everything to do with the exhaustion that come with being perceived
