STOP asking yourself if you have 'IT'. 'Natural talent', 'Innate charisma', 'Getting lucky in the algo' is BS. "Natural talent" - Having parents and an environment that encourages your passion, giving you space to grow and practice every day. "Innate charisma" - Being raised in a place where speaking is encouraged or trained, interest in extrovert activities, participation and positive reinforcement in social and performance situations. "Getting lucky in the algo" - Hiring someone, imitation, taking classes, researching trends, hard work and understanding of what you are doing. All of these are able to be acquired later in life, yes, someone who has been playing the violin since age 5 will surpass you in experience, but you can start today as opposed to 'next week' and be a week ahead of yourself. Stop telling yourself you can't be who you want to be, by old wives tales. What better time is there to become who you want to be than now??? Having 'IT' is a lie. Anyone got what it takes, you have to acquire it yourself. I was a shut-in who barely talked for a long time before becoming Lulu. Everyone around me told me it was 'too late' for me to jump into streaming, to be realistic about my situation, to give up before I even got to try. I am so so glad I did not listen to the 'work smarter, not harder, networking is the only way, all you can do is be a friend to a bigger streamer' crowd. If you do not see someone who does what you do, then maybe that's the path forward that you were destined to walk.
