Hi everyone, how do I remove the odor from my new bottle? It’s made of polypropylene plastic. I got it two days ago and put one of those strawberry-flavored electrolytes in it. Now the whole thing smells like strawberry no matter how many times I wash it with soap.
I started my gaming channel back in 2014 when I was 14, making montage-style gameplay videos. The editing was honestly pretty cringe, but somehow each video got around 200k–400k views.
I stopped because of school and only came back in 2024. Now my editing is way better and more polished, but the channel barely gets any views anymore (like 50–300 per video), even when I cover trending games.
People say I should upload more consistently because the algorithm favors that, but these kinds of videos take a lot of time to record and edit, so I can’t mass produce them.
I do post daily Shorts, though. Sometimes they hit 1M views, but other times I’m stuck at 1k–30k for a whole week.
At this point, I’m not sure what to do. Is this channel still salvageable, Should i just continue uploading video and hope for the best?
I work from home, and personally I see myself as an outgoing person. I enjoy going outside, going to the mall, being around people, But deep down, I have this constant fear of going out alone. It feels like two sides of me are fighting each other. One side wants to live normally and enjoy life, while the other side keeps holding me back. For example, sometimes I want to go watch a movie by myself. I’ll spend the whole day trying to convince myself to go, but then I become too afraid to take an Uber (I don’t drive), and I give up on the idea completely.
I think the reason I’m so afraid to take an Uber alone is related to social anxiety. Before even booking the ride, I start overthinking everything.
Thoughts like:What if the driver asks me questions?What if they try to make small talk?What if I respond awkwardly?What if I can’t handle the conversation?
The thing is, I actually have taken an Uber alone before. The driver did chat with me, and honestly I think I handled it fine. But during the whole ride, I had cold sweats and felt extremely tense the entire time. It drained all my energy.
What should i do at this point? am i really having social anxiety? or i just can't social?
