    Default Why are they so stupid - mini rant

    I am trying to get myself back into camming I don't need to make a lot just about $500 a week is enough for me to handle bills and savings and then I got escorting and a government benefits to handle the rest of my living expenses. but omg these idiots that come in my room bark fucking orders dear lord. getting drunk doesn't work for me because it just puts me to sleep and it goes the same if I was smoking weed.

    I don't get it back in 2003 I would sit on cam and make everything I needed just from cam but now I guess maybe because I am older I can't handle the stupid idiots. how do you guys put up with these idiots OMG I can't smile every second on there sometimes I just don't need to smile , I use to smile so much my face would hurt. I literally feel like I have to dumb myself down to work webcam. I don't know frig I wish I could do something else but right now my options are limited to camming, escorting and what I get from the government.

    I guess this is what happens when you get in the industry and don't make a plan of getting out or at least considering retirement. I am not mad at myself I use to be but now I am just trying to figure out a plan of what I want to do for myself in college and get myself into a different career field for a while.

    Believe me girl... I feel you. Its the reason I went into escorting...now im looking into different lines of work also. Im forcing myself to get on cam 25/hrs a week at a physical studio but what really helps me is skipping the free chat and having a ton of non free chat sites open at the same time. Then you can stay fairly busy without dealing with the idiots. Every dime I make in csmming 25 hours is going into savings where I can't touch it. I think thats very important. ..saving money...makes you feel so much better knowing you are creating a nest egg for yourself to be able to get out of webcamming soon.

    It's all acting to me. You don't have to smile too much unless someone gives you a compliment? Have you thought of putting some music on, saying hello to the guys that come in, dancing a bit, just having "fun" but faking it and just splitting up your hours? If you're going to do 25 hours plus a week, try 5 days a week, 5 hours a day doing 2.5 hours per shift in a day. That way, you can get new guys to flirt and chat with, and just work peak hours only. 2.5 hours on cam isn't completely mentally draining or back breaking and you can rest a long while before your next shift. Good luck!

    You get my deepest sympathy because I know it's tough. That's why I can only handle 3 hours on cam each day MAX. I really don't put up with anything because I have been very fortunate in rarely if ever get any asshole in my room. I just don't cosign or sponsor bullshit. For my sanity, I just kick and ban. Don't let them boss you around. You have to regulate what's acceptable and what's not.

    I guess I'm lucky, because I really don't get that many assholes in my room. I guess it's because I mainly use Classic chat. I find if I go into Party Chat, I instantly feel annoyed.

    I struggled for a long time about the realities of my sex work, like how long can I keep doing this if I'm burning out all the time? I've been in at least three facets of this industry at this point (met stupid guys in each one) and keep thinking what's next? after this. I established a goal, and that's the only thing that keeps me going. It's good that you're not mad at yourself. I am my worst critic and sometimes my shortcomings frustrate me. I'm tired of wanting things, and I've finally learned that the only way to make change happen is to routinely sit in front of the cam until you make goal. Sometimes it's 2-3 hours and sometimes it's double. As long as it's consistent. I pretend I'm giving the performance of my life, but instead of an Oscar I get money everyday. When they get too stupid I move around/stand/ignore/laugh/start singing. Also, I love banning.

    MINNIE! When I find it hard to smile I pull up a funny webcomics, stories, joke sites, SW, or something else that makes me smile/laugh/giggle. They can say all the stupid crap they want, as long as they give me money I'm amused at them all. You don't have to dumb yourself down, just find something else that is awesome to do at the same time that will help keep you going. And remember to keep your best asset, but don't let it hurt your cheeks!

    I use to get really tired and just felt mentally drained from freechat. I would smile all the time and say hi/interact with every person that came into my room. Now I only interact with those who are polite enough to say hi/greet me. If a guy doesn't say anything within a certain amount of time of entering my room then I kick him. Some come back and actually say sorry or ask why I kicked them. I don't smile all the time anymore either but I do try to look pleasant if that makes any sense. Sometimes if I'm just not feeling it at all that day I'll lower the cam to where my face isn't showing.

    I use the kick button alot more now.... maybe a little too much lol. If a guy's first words to me are ass bb, stand up then I kick him. If he ask the previous and I say sure for $_ gold and he doesn't give it then I kick him. If a guy asks "do you smile" I kick him usually because I'm already smiling. Its like some of these dudes expect you to smile like your doing a toothpaste commercial. When it comes to rude comments in general I just kick or ban them....ain't nobody got time for that.

    I usually turn into a bitch (not a sexy bitchy btw) when I'm not making any money. I use to log off with in 10-30mins when I knew it was slow or I'd stay on my whole shift with a cranky attitude. So now I have a minimum. I make myself stay on for at least 2hrs on slow days and if I don't make any money in that time frame I log off. Setting a minimum has made me alot happier because I long off in enough time to where the bitch hasn't started to brew yet. I don't feel like shit like before for throwing in the towel because I know that I at least put in some time. I usually chill out after that. I may take the day off or go back on at a later time.

    Oh yeah I also tend to do other stuff when I'm online like listen to music, keep my tv on as background noise (and just mute it when I get a pvt), read SW and another forum, or I'll spiltcam. Doing all that has stopped me from becoming annoyed and mentally drained.
