I can’t deal with the criticism. Am I ready?

Question

I never imagined that I would post one week after starting my channel but here I am. My videos blew up. My third one reached 50k (in less than a week) and others are between 5k-10k. In total I have uploaded 7 for now. My plan was to slowly build a community, learn how to talk in front of camera and post two videos per week.

But it happened so fast that I actually now question myself if I am ready. I received very positive feedback but there was a lot of criticism mainly on the topics I discuss and some of it was towards myself as a person, looks, way of talking etc.

Now I am scared. I posted another video today and now I am scared to look at the comments since I got many. I knew I am a sensitive person but I thought I would have enough time to get used to it.

I wanted to start a youtube channel for years and now that I have the chance to do so… I don’t know how to continue with it. I am scared. How do you deal with this?

Bear in mind that my country is very negative towards content creators and have a very stagnant mindset.
