I am 33F and working. Im not financially satisfied with my earnings so i thought of starting a YouTube channel since I have always been interested in videography and content creation. I spent hours editing a video and uploaded it. I wasn’t very confident to spread the channel among my peers for the fear of judgement since this is my first time doing this and i wasn’t sure if my video was okay. Then i went ahead and told my friend who is one of my closest and i had already shared my interest of a YouTube channel with her. Once the video was live i shared the link with her for her feedback. To my surprise, she made fun of the way i spoke on the video, and the things i said, basically called it ‘cringe’! Since m not a English speaker, she made fun of my accent too. She also pointed out how only 15 views are not going to make me a YouTuber. She went on to mock me saying that she will also start her own channel and now we all can be ‘Cringe Youtubers’. When i aaked her are u really going to start a channel? She just laughed at my face and said No, she isn’t that desperate to earn money that she will start doing YouTube. Then I lost it. Then i said to her, ‘That would definitely be a better idea for you. Cringe Youtuber with income is anyday better than being Jobless with zero income’. She got really offended and hasn’t spoken to me since then.

Am I the asshole for insulting her for being jobless or was she right about my video being cringe? Was she just trying to get me to stop embarrassing myself infront of other people or was she just being an asshole?
