Im slowly transitioning my account into vlogs and only done 4 or 5 total. This one has to be my best. It pony has 120 views but I'm so proud i. How much I'm growing. Please enjoy disney with me!

Hey all.
I used to do a daily vlog in uni “about 10 years ago” now I’m trying to get back into it when I do stuff that’s interesting.

Hope you enjoy.

hi guys, so i just posted my first vlog but im coming here for advice.

I made a new tiktok account and i made a vlog about 7mins long that i was super proud of.

The problem is, when i posted it i wasnt expecting any views. I kinda didnt even want any tbh because i kinda viewed it as being more-so a diary for me to be more productive.

But when i posted it, i was incredibly shocked to see that after an hour, it had already gained 10k views and a few hundred likes and 10s of comments.

Tbh i got scared. Like rlly scared because im in university and the likes were all people ive seen before at lectures. I got incredibly insecure and stressed and i kept thinking “what if they are all making fun of me? what if my friends see it? what if people recognise me?”.

Im a very introverted person by nature and i am also incredibly anxious. Ik the easy response to this would be “Just dont worry, people dont care that much” but in my situation, people genuinely really do. I go to uni in a small city thats incredibly cliquey and gossip is rampant.

I privated the video after a few hours. I just got too scared.

Anyways, im coming here to ask multiple questions.

The first is: How do you handle insecurity when posting vlogs?

2nd: In my situation, would u recommend posting vlogs without my face in to start?

3rd:Would u recommend switching to youtube rather than TikTok?

Any help would be really recommended. I really did love vlogging and it made me so much more productive.

Batroun Lebanon is one of our favorite places to visit, and in this 2026 travel vlog, we’re back for another summer escape by the sea.

We start the morning at Lemon Gate Boutique Hotel before heading into Batroun’s old streets for breakfast at A La Pier, a walk toward Blu Bay, a TukTuk ride with Abou Kevin, and lunch at Cayu The Sea in Monsef.

Later, we explore more of Batroun’s old town, stop for lemonade, talk about the city’s old stones, sandstone houses, Phoenician and Canaanite history, and end the day with sunset by the famous Phoenician wall / old quarry.

Batroun is still one of those places in Lebanon that feels alive every time we visit — old streets, beach vibes, food, history, and that perfect coastal sunset.

One thing I didn’t expect when I started using an action cam more was how different people act around it compared to a phone.

With a phone, everyone instantly knows they’re being filmed. The energy changes. People either start posing, talking differently, or suddenly become awkward.

And I’m definitely guilty of this too. Even when I know my friends are just filming because they want to remember the day, I still get weirdly stiff the second I notice a phone pointed at me.

I’ve been using my Osmo Action 6 more lately, and a lot of my favorite clips have actually come from moments where nobody was really paying attention to the camera. It’s small enough that after a while it kind of just fades into the background. A lot of the time I can just leave it hanging around my neck and catch things as they happen.

Kind of funny that the best thing about it for me isn’t specs. It’s that it captures people before they start performing for the camera.

Between the Insta 360 and the DJI Osmo Pocket, which would you recommend to an occasional vlogger like me?

I sometimes do diving, have never tried hiking, but would really love to, and do car vlogs (while driving). I'm just using my GoPro, but the battery life isn't great.
