What advice do you have to overcome the possible judgement from your friends and family to start an influencer account on instagram?
Change is scary. I want to try something new but I’m scared of losing the flexibility of my current job and I’m worried the grass isn’t greener on the other side.
Being a gay guy, I gravitate towards the girls. Love them to death and truly feel the love back, but on the contrary, I think it’s really easy to be left out being the only guy. It makes me wonder if it’s truly because of my gender, or if I need better friends. Any advice?
