I feel like the main benefit of doing this isn't creating a video, it's how I have to push through my own bullshit in order to get it done. Filming myself on the street, with a bunch of people around, with my friends around... it all makes you very aware of yourself and insecure. You feel like everyone is looking at you.
Not only that, but when you edit it, you're forced to look at yourself for hours at a time and you notice all your little imperfections. It's uncomfortable, but at least when you're aware of your imperfections you can take steps to fix them. Silver lining.
Hmm. I just pretend they don't exist, unless they're actually things I'd care about it's really a far more enjoyable/ fulfilling way of living your life. Nobody's perfect, nobody is going to be. You just have to get rid of the worst of your imperfections and deal with the rest.
Though perhaps that's just me, I'm very... unashamed of what I do my own way, of what I do which others would consider wrong, so long as I don't consider them wrong. In fact, I mind when I'm caught doing something I think is wrong and others don't find anything wrong with whatsoever.
But yeah, I can deal with everyone looking at me, so long as I don't have to interact with them.
