I want to start making YouTube videos. You know people do really well for themselves in terms of popularity just playing a game and rambling into a mic, I can do that, hell I'd probably enjoy it, my mic is garbage and I barely know how to use my recording software but I'd like to give it a shot anyways.

So I guess the part where I ask something of you guys, what do I do to drag my channel out of that trench of having no watchers or viewers?

I'm currently going through a really bad episode of anxiety, which has recently left me quite depressed. I'm not usually open about this, but because the fandom has been so welcoming and accepting, I just want to say that I'm going through a terrible mixture of anxiety and depression.

EDIT: Thanks guys for all the support and love you've given me. Currently, I'm feeling a lot better now thanks to all of you fuzzbutts :)

I'm currently waiting for my first commission to be completed. How much chaching have you spent in this wonderful fandom?

Clangers was a much-loved children’s TV series from the United Kingdom that originally ran from 1969 to 1974. It starred a set of little pink fuzzy creatures who most resemble elephants crossed with mice. They live on an alien world and speak only in swooping whistles — which were usually translated for the young audience by the narrator. Well now the BBC have brought back The Clangers for a much newer generation as part of Sprout, their programming line-up for children. Just like the old version, the new Clangers is created through stop-motion animation of actual fuzzy figures, and now the new episodes are narrated by Michael Palin (of Monty Python) in the UK and none other than William Shatner (!) for release in North America. Sprout has a special web site just for The Clangers so take a look to find out more.

No excuses. I have been a complete asshole for a week or so now. I am at fault here, Nobody else. I have started arguments, been snarky, been bitter, and cynical; and I am truly apologetic. None of you people deserve the angry fruitless rage of some jackass on the internet.

So, in summary: I am immensely sorry for that bout of douchebaggery.

I feel like being a part of this fandom as well as playing a lot of video games has made me feel kind of detached from reality. Games have always been fun, and to a certain extent make me feel free (the word "limitless" comes to mind), but going outside has always been boring, because there are so many rules we all have to abide by, like the laws of physics and the actual law. This fandom is somewhere in between, it makes me happier than going outside but has more limits than video games.
There are a lot of things I want to do outside, only a few are actually possible, and the rest are logistically difficult to do. I could go hike the Pacific Crest Trail, but I hate hiking. I could go scuba diving, but I've seen Jaws a few too many times. I could go skydiving, but that's expensive.
Most of what I want going and actually doing something to be like is from media (movies, games, tv, etc), not my personal experiences. I've gone camping and hiking and all that, and sometimes I've even enjoyed it but there have always been limits; "can't do that because x x and x".
I guess I've kind of idealized reality because of all the video games and time spent lost on /r/furry, to the point where real life is a disappointment at best.
Escapism is a real bitch, you know?
In case you're wondering I just watched the movie Wild.

It's sort of a short question but I don't have anybody else to ask. So basically I don't really have any real-life friends at all. I work with adults and I'm homeschooled.

I've known my only friend for almost two years though we both live in the same location. My boyfriend however lives in another country. 

The question is how to make friends. I'm not the best at anything to get attention and I don't have any idea on how I should approach a stranger.

Dear Mars,

Being home schooled is really no reason for not making friends, and I’m sure you haven’t been working with adults all your life. What have you been doing up until now to socialize? Even kids who go to a regular public or private school do most of their socializing outside of the classroom. The best answer is to engage in structured activities outside the home when you’re not studying. You could participate in church programs, the Girl Scouts, community programs, or even just hang out with relatives or children of your parents’ friends (unless you’re living in an isolated Florida swamp or key somewhere).

You might also be interested to know that in your state of Florida you can participate in local school programs even though you don’t attend the school itself. This is true for ten states in America, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. In the other 40 states, such rules vary from school district to school district. It must be noted, though, that even in home-school-friendly states such as Florida, you need to meet certain requirements of academic achievement. Check with your local school to learn about the details.

When it comes to opportunities to expose yourself to social events and make friends, you have no excuse not to.

Now, if the issue is actually that you are a very shy person who has trouble making friends, that’s an entirely different ball of wax. I wrote a column about overcoming shyness two years ago that you can read here: http://www.askpapabear.com/letters/shy-furry-wants-to-overcome-her-fears.

In a nutshell, how does one make friends? The best way to meet people is at places where socializing is encouraged, such as at a party or at some group activity. Just go up to someone and introduce yourself. Stick out a paw and say, “Hi, I’m ____! What’s your name?” And, since you’re a furry, a good place to do that would be a furmeet or other furry event. If you haven’t already, join the Florida Furs group (http://www.floridafurs.com/) and make friends there! Sounds like you really haven’t taken advantage of being a furry, which is a huge worldwide community just waiting for you to explore!

The only thing holding you back is you!

Here’s wishing you many many many furiends,

Papabear
