My wife struggles with social anxiety and she hates it. It seems to have gotten worse over the last couple of years, but she has finally found something that makes her WANT to socialize. She has taken up game streaming, and it has really helped her open up and interact more, and it makes her very happy.
So, as a supportive husband, I got her a surprise.
Looking real professional now. She was thrilled.
It has been a lot of fun for the both of us. I have been able to support her on the back end, and by creating overlays(a learning process for me). It gives us something to do together, and has brought us closer together.
I know that interacting with people is very taxing for her, but at the same time she is loving this. I am proud of her for her dedication and for sticking with it, and for how hard she works to keep improving her content and community. I love seeing how it has helped her be more outgoing and willing to socialize.
I don't know if her channel will grow, but I know that she has and that makes me happier for her than any level of "success".
Not sure if other people care, but I do, and I wanted to share.

That's how you're supposed to treat your partner. Great job!

You're awesome for supporting your wife in doing this, and your wife is awesome for pursuing it in the first place. Good luck to you both!
SepticStorm
Thank you.

lolol. There are many ways that a few hundred bucks can make people feel better. ESPECIALLY if you can boast about it to strangers online
tacolandslide
You sir are an absolute twatwaffle with shit for brains. Social anxiety is very legitimate.
SepticStorm
I didn't mean to boast. Things have been really hard for her this past year, and I'm just so happy to see her finding her way out.
justblamerussia
Yep. I can tell its a struggle from the pics. so brave. so beautiful
SepticStorm
I don't even know what to say 2 that. Just cause we have a few nice things does not mean we are rich, or that she can't struggle with issues
justblamerussia
haha social anxiety isn't an illness. social skills are developed, not instinctive. You don't cry when you suck at sports. You practice.
SepticStorm
you're not even worth further response. just move on.

Time to go follow your wife and not get in trouble for it. ;)
SepticStorm
Ha.
Panda4hire
No but for reals I love supporting small streamers. Tell her she's got a new viewer.
SepticStorm
I will. thank you. and she is always looking for advice. both technical and community/content wise
Panda4hire
Honestly I just enjoy a chills stream with modest engagement.
SepticStorm
that is pretty much her. she's no 'hardcore' gamer, and her drive is 80% community.

Nice set-up!
SepticStorm

SepticStorm

SepticStorm
