The idea of meeting people gave me so much anxiety.\u201d However, Toast said that going to the Streamer Awards was a major boost for him after interacting with fans. \u201cThe event yesterday helped a lot, because when people came up to me and said \u2018Toast, I love your content,’\u201d he explained. \u201cIt made me feel motivated, because I\u2019m like, damn, you like my content? Because I haven\u2019t been making content. I appreciate the words. It makes me not want to disappoint them\u2026 It was more them showing appreciation.\u201d Toast also revealed that he\u2019s been having difficulties streaming, saying he\u2019s struggling to find a game he\u2019s \u201cpassionate\u201d about \u2014 but his viewers are giving him encouragement as he works through this tough period.
