As I settle into my gaming chair, the chat is already buzzing with excitement as I go live. But then, a faint knock echoes from my bedroom door; It was my girlfriend. As she enters, my irritation spikes into fury, hitting the mute button.

"Don't you dare show your face on camera. I don't need my fans seeing your acne and dark circles. It's embarrassing enough that I'm dating someone who looks like that."

I snapped at her and turned back to my stream as if nothing had happened.
