I wanted to share this as this person has been around since DAY 1! I remember them from the start and they left me this comment. I took it to heart because it's something that I've been insecure about for the last 9 years of my life, even before I started posting reaction videos. Starting YouTube in general, I always felt like I was very minimal in expression, I've even shared this with you guys as it's a huge factor to my imposter syndrome as to how I even have some of you here with me now! Someone else even made a similar comment yesterday and it doesn't feel coincidental.

I wanted to ask if any of you felt the same way? Is it possible to see any progression I may have shown through my work of trying to learn to express myself more. Things I dislike, things I like, things I love, my excitement, emotions... etc. Is it noticeable to you?

Or maybe the opposite? Does it make you guys like the videos even less because now I may get louder that I'm now fake? Or maybe since it's different it's no longer something you want to watch?

I'm not taking it personally or negative, I just wanted to know your thoughts if you wouldn't mind sharing any. Thanks guys, I'm off to bed and will read all comments in the a.m.!

I saw that comment and I do think it’s true, you can in a way tell the difference over the years, in a positive way I’ve gotten used to it but it feels like when a friend opens up to you and you can get closer with the dumb jokes and the expressions the loudness in the voice, it’s comfortable, it’s fun

i haven't been here long, but I go back and watch your older reactions frequently for my fave shows. and I agree with the change, it is noticeable, and to me its a very positive change. I love how more expressive you became, its more authentic and enjoyable really!!! :)))) stay you and do only what makes you comfortable and happy. its always best to follow your own authenticity , it translates really well to those around you. and it honeslty makes me really happy, to see people who try to get out of their shell like this, i know how hard it can be. :))) we see youu!! ur doing greatttt:)) sending lots of love <3

i’ve been watching from the start & i believe you’ve changed but it’s been positive! it almost feels like you’re a irl bestie especially during streams. it’s just nice to see you blossom and show more of your fun personality💗!! i say keep it up!!!

I have been watching you from the beginning and I do see a change, but its great to see!! It feels like you/we have built a comfortability and friendship! I think you have grown so much as a person and a creator!! You seem so much more confident in yourself, and I think that is what shows through the screen. I don't want you to feel like you have to force yourself to act a certain way on the camera! This has been a gradual change over the past what, 9 years? And it has been beautiful💜💜

You're still expressing your thoughts the same just in a more positive manner now! I appreciated both because I do still find the old you and the "new" you authentic! I hope you keep it that way too!

Yes, that post rang true to me and I'm glad you saw it. I don't think any of the things I enjoyed about your early reactions have disappeared or anything. You still speak your mind honestly about what you like and don't like which feels authentic, I still feel like I know your brand as a reactor in terms of being able to watch something and genuinely think "Anthony would like this" whether it's due to the fashion involved or the music itself. I think nice changes have been your general scope of music genres you enjoy has expanded which is not a necessary thing but always cool to see, your videos definitely feel more confident and overall you come off more happy in your videos. I know you always share When life might be getting you down but it doesn't feel like you're faking it through the videos, more that whatever you're watching is something that is cheering you up (which I hope is the case). I'm also team streams, no matter how much you hate it I think you're good at it lol

You still share your true thoughts and feelings but the overall energy that you've had lately is so positive. I love seeing you have a good time and being confident in your expressions

I definitely see a change in your personality but in a positive sense you seem to talk more through the videos I remember your reactions from back in the day were more reserved but I just assumed its you getting more comfortable being in front of camera and with your community so you voice your excitement and opinion more.

Hmmmm, I hadn't really noticed or thought about it much until you mentioned this but if I think about it deeply I would say I do think you feel more positive and enthusiastic over time. I have been following you since the discovering BTS days so I remember. I always appreciated your insights and your open mindedness and found you a thoughtful consumer of art and media and I always really appreciated and respected that. I don't think that has changed at all but I do think you feel a lot more comfortable and free in expressing yourself and I think I have too honestly since I got interested in kpop. I think there are many reasons why this could be (and if these don't resonate with you it's just a guess based on generalizations so take what applies and ignore what doesnt) and any and all of them are valid some examples could include : 1) you were just learning the ropes at first and just wading into a new interest but over time you have gotten more familiar and into the genre? 2) your age and how your personality had developed at that point was more withdrawn or guarded and through more experiences you have bloomed out of your shell some? 3) for young men especially there is a lot of societal pressure I think to be "nonchalant" and to maybe not express caring about much as it could be seen as a sign of "weakness" and you have become more confident? 4) kpop and fan communities in general really develop a safe space to be SUPER enthusiastic about things in a way a lot of other parts of society like to judge so maybe you have just picked up on that over time? 5) I have found so many friends and connections through kpop that it has really helped me grow as a person and feel safe in my quirkiness and maybe that's part of it too? Anyway, you were doing great then and you are still doing great. I hope that you do feel proud of yourself for how you have grown as a person regardless of content and most people don't have this kind of documentation of their growth and maturity.

As someone who has been watching you for almost the same time as the person posting, She is right. sometimes I watch your videos and feel like I'm watching my little brother growing up ( I'm old ). You used to look down and a bit lost,like you weren't so sure about what you were doing but now you are on your persona. I think it started with the pokemon lives, You are bright, Wich makes your reaction more enjoyable, I even watch kdramas that I'm not interested in just because I know your comments will make it interesting.
