I've Been Gone...Let's Talk

It’s been a while... I haven’t posted since before last Halloween, and coming back hasn’t been as simple as just hitting record. In this video, I’m talking about aging in the goth subculture, social anxiety, body image, and the strange feeling of wondering if you still “belong” in the spaces you love. Is there an age limit on being goth? Do we grow out of alternative culture — or does it grow with us? This is a cozy, honest comeback about getting older, feeling awkward, and choosing to show up anyway. If you’ve been feeling invisible, anxious about being perceived, or unsure about your place in goth or alternative spaces… you’re not alone. 🖤 Topics in this video: Aging in goth culture Social anxiety and being perceived Body image and confidence on camera Growing older as an alternative woman Romanticizing your life at any age Staying creative through insecurity Whether you’re a long-time goth, a baby bat, or someone rediscovering your dark aesthetic later in life — there is no expiration date on self-expression. Thank you for being here. 🕯 Let me know in the comments: Do you think there’s an age limit on being goth? ====================================================================== DISCOUNTS AND WAYS TO SUPPORT MY CHANNEL Visit my website to buy some merch, make a donation or join membership: https://awkwardlygothy.com/ Curst Kosmetics 10% Discount use code AWKWARDLYGOTHY https://curstkosmetics.com/r?id=5m6393 Jolie Beauty Affiliate Link (No discount but costs you nothing and helps to support my channel) https://joliebeauty.co.uk/?bg_ref=Kmx...
