  <title>Teavlogs 2 &amp; 3: &quot;Complimenting Myself&quot; and &quot;Does any1 care?&quot;</title>
  <link>https://packbat.dreamwidth.org/298203.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Forgot to post here, but I&apos;ve made two more teavlogs over the past two weeks:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UldUH5K9uys&quot;&gt;Complimenting Myself&lt;/a&gt;: one of the things that I struggle with is accepting that I&apos;m a good person, so I talked a bit about that and also said some nice things about who I am.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItrA29hRjV4&quot;&gt;Does any1 care?&lt;/a&gt;: I talk about how having an audience affects my motivation to create.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;...they&apos;re fun. Making a vlog while doing something else adds visual interest, gives the vlog a natural stopping point (the tea is done and the kettle refilled), and it&apos;s just kind of fun to perform for the camera. And I pick topics I feel capable of speaking extemporaneously about - subjects I&apos;ve thought through and have a pretty clear idea of what I want to communicate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=packbat&amp;ditemid=298203&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>thinking about comforting people</title>
  <link>https://packbat.dreamwidth.org/297330.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;(I hope talking about what I do doesn&apos;t make it uncomfortable for people I comfort, but I&apos;m doing it anyway)&lt;/p&gt;
