>>7366537It's not even JUST positive/negative comments, even for something unrelated to personal narcissism like gameplay help streamers seem to have the uncanny talent to always pick the worst comment out of chat. I've seen this happen too often to think it's either deliberately played up for "entertainment purposes" or genuine mental illness (and with some streamers you can't really tell either):
>streamer asks a gameplay help question, hurrdurr chat how do I do X?>99 people give the right correct answer, only 1 is either trolling or retarded and writes something wrong.>streamer invariably picks out the 1 wrong answer out of all the right ones, does thing and fails, and then turns around to chat and complains hurrdurr ohmaigawd it didn't work, why did you tell me that, you are ALL so stupid chat!!!But yeah, with personal/emotional comments it's even worse, which is of course rooted in the basic narcissism that's probably necessary to even want to become a streamer in the first place (after all, why would you push yourself to be in a position where you are seen by thousands of people, if you didn't think you were some hot shit worth sharing). And negative comments just "weigh" more than positive ones, after all you get flooded with 95% praise from your braindead retard simp fanbase all the time for basically anything you do anyways, so the positive comments simply blur together into a background noise you'll get used to over time. But oh no, doesn't matter that the response to something is overwhelmingly positive, if there's even just one negative comment in there somewhere, that's the one you focus on and that's the one that ruins your mood, because it stands out. And after that we have the psychosocial mechanism of reinforcing the hugbox even more, because the rest of the simp fanbase closes ranks and rushes to ensure you that aww no don't mind the bad troll you are pwecious and perfect my little streamer bby, which feeds the whole "worthless positivity, so negativity stands out"-loop even more.
