Sometimes I run across a YouTuber who’s really hyper - like, lots of quick motions, fast talking, darting back and forth or whatever. (Adam Savage is like this, for example.) While watching I start to feel like my heart is beating faster or something. I might rock more vigorously in my easy chair. Or lean forward more. It affects me. I feel jealous, kinda. I wish I could feel that rush they seem to live with. But alas, I am slow and lazy. Watching these people work wears me out. Time for bed.
@bigzaphod Hard same, especially the jealous bit. I wish I had Babish's energy (Andrew Rea). How Ridiculous's energy is great, but might be a bit too far for me. Savage is a good one - an engrossing storyteller.
I quietly tell myself that it's secretly all an act. And I'm sure sometimes it might be (not every day can be an A-Game day) - but if it is, it's an enviable skill.
