Hi i been watching a streamer for about 6 months got to know everyone in his lives etc all his gifters and new gifters i also gift occasionally. He's set up a group meet for everyone. He assumed i couldn't make it due to living 3 and half hours away but also didn't invite me. Just said shame i couldn't go but i wasn't outright asked. Is this a excuse that he didn't want me going. However none of us live bu each other where all dotted around the UK. I found it weird that i wasn't asked even if i were to say i couldn't go.

What on earth is a streamer in this context? I thought streaming services were things like Netflix.

Streamers play video games or 1 type of video game that you can watch live if you pay or you pay for "extra" content from them.

Styleislost · 21/01/2025 06:55

Ah honestly Op. I rad the last thread. He actually is taking the piss.

Convincing you to take intimate pictures to send to him? Saying he will game with your son if you pay him.

You describe yourself as vulnerable. Are you that vulnerable you can’t make good decisions for you and your son? You left yourself short so you can gift something to this man. You are acting in a way that puts your son in a vulnerable position.

A few days ago you were in love with him. Now you magically aren’t. But upset the man who is using you hasn’t invited you to an event. He isn’t because he is using you. And you participating it in and trying to buy his attention doesn’t entitle you to anything.

If you actually paid attention to anything on the other thread you wouldn’t be I. Touch with him at all. You need some professional help. Because you are harming you and your son to get attention from a gaming streamer. And you can’t see it and don’t want to accept it. Which means it really could escalate and end badly for you and your child.

You need to find real not fake friends on the internet.He is too busy now pretending to be other people’s friends-he makes his living coaxing people into giving him ‘gifts’ it’s his work and this is how he earns his money.

you need to make actual proper real friends in real life x

miliop · 21/01/2025 06:56

This is sad. Thanks to the fucking internet, there are now so many ways for daft/naive/vulnerable people to be taken advantage of, and it's very hard for friends/relatives to see what's going on.

crashbandicooty · 21/01/2025 06:57

If you were really arsed about the other followers/gifters being your 'friends' you and them would have made plans to meet up because that's what friends do. But you just want to stalk this man. He doesn't owe you his time or attention, he's just doing his 'job'.

Chocachocalatte · 21/01/2025 06:57

OP, it is clear you are desperate to have someone validate you and tell you what you want to hear.

This is coming across as a very deep, heavy (needy?) situation that possibly stems from your past and needs to be talked through with a professional.

CleanShirt · 21/01/2025 06:58

You need therapy. This isn't normal.

Mere1 · 21/01/2025 06:58

Think it’s you if that makes you stop interacting with the streamer. It is you, and all his other victims. He wants the gifts/money. It’s not a popularity contest. He’s a scammer.

LostMyLanyard · 21/01/2025 07:01

Jesus what have I just read??

OP you need some serious help with your mental health. Immediately! This is just beyond the realms of bonkers behaviour!

ChristmasFluff · 21/01/2025 07:01

Look, it's really very simple. Relate back to yourself.

If you want someone there, you invite them. If you don't want someone there, you don't invite them.

Any words are jjust guff that is neither here nor there.

Its not a circle of friends, it'd a group of people who for one reason or another are hero worshipping someone they do not know who is running a business of drawing people in. They don't call it influencing for nothing.

A fan club is one thing where people bond over a shared interest, but when that shared interest is a person who is also interacting on some level with people and fanning the flames, and taking money from some, then it's a toxic thing. Would you want your son to be so entrenched in a fantasy world like this one day?

Please try and meet some people in real life, you've come out of an abusive relationship and don't need to walk back into a one with a whole group of people led by an influencer.

The invite more than anything i fort why wouldn't he want me to go i don't act luke obsessed i don't even answer his normal calls i just liek the way we all get on in his live

I think you are so far down this path you've lost sight of obsessed would look like.

This man, his life, his streaming, his group, these people, the fact you're so caught up in all this, and ONLY this, is an obsession for you. You have lost sight of reality and have become fanatical about it.

Cocothecoconut · 21/01/2025 07:09

Of course it the gifts
hes a low life living off others
block - delete and get some therapy instead

Flowercandy · 21/01/2025 07:09

Im tempted to say i can get a lift to the meet up and see what he says because he did say it was only due to distance see what he says

I have no idea what Bigo is. I tried to look it up and I'm still confused.

Are you giving him real money/things? How much have you given him in total?

You cannot be serious. I just... what!? You're going to gatecrash a bonkers, superficial group meet up!?

Flowercandy · 21/01/2025 07:11

@Flowercandy

You are so frustrating. You just aren't listening to anyone giving you advice on this thread.

All of your posts are virtually the same rant. You really need to stop this nonsense with this streamer and get in the real world. It's not healthy or normal what you are doing. So block or delete and get him out of your life and meet people in real life

AndThereSheGoes · 21/01/2025 07:12

Yes you have been deliberately left out.

They do not want you there otherwise they would have given the invite to go. People have friends 3/4 hours away they see.

So what now? Listen to the advice from everyone and get offline.

Kisskiss · 21/01/2025 07:13

Your post sounds like you are talking about a partner, not someone you watch on the internet , don’t actually know and give gifts to…
take a step back !

MolkosTeenageAngst · 21/01/2025 07:13

Can you go? If you can go then tell him and see what he says. If you can’t go because of distance/ childcare or whatever then he was right in his assumption so I’m not sure why you’re getting upset.

WarriorN · 21/01/2025 07:13

Flowercandy · 21/01/2025 06:27

But why has he invited ones that don't gift that makes no sence

He's targeting you to get you to gift again

I have never heard of this situation till now, this is a horrific example of grooming, manipulation and grifting.

Cut them out and meet friends in real life

Get some help too to help you do this

Flowercandy · 21/01/2025 07:15

Nooo i can't get there lol but wondered what he would say
