I started posting on TikTok less than a year ago and I'm now a full-time creator getting paid by startups and billion dollar companies alike to do what I love, and it all started because I was willing to throw things at the wall and be seen as "cringe" without overthinking it

Being afraid of seeming "cringe" when you start posting content online is a sign you're focusing too much on yourself and not enough on being of service. The more you care about adding value, the less it will matter how you look in the process of doing it. Shift your focus.
