I think that's the key and why people become successful influencers. Talking as if chatting with a friend does have a powerful effect on the viewers, even those coming across them for the first time.

It's really interesting that this is your chosen way to relax, and it makes complete sense. I have also felt a certain calm from watching YouTubers who speak to their viewers with familiarity and love. It gives a sense of belonging, which is calming to the nervous system.
