I used to be on twitter (wonderful thing, I know) for about a year during 2020-2021. I never really any social media accounts aside from that, but anyways, during that time on the site I felt so stressed, anxious, and manipulated that it actually kind of hurt me for a while. I was led into agreeing with things that I simply did not believe in, and that influenced a lot of bad decisions in my life. I think it has changed me for the worst. I used to be a much kinder and more open person, and now I constantly feel inadequate or toxic. 2021 was also a pretty bad year for me. And plus around that time, the twitter communities I engaged with were absolutely ruthless with pushing political, SJW agendas, participating in movements they poorly understood, and enforcing their views on everyone. If you've been there you'll know what I mean Seeing hundreds, hell even thousands of 14,15 year olds being "indoctrinated" by other, equally treated 14,15 year olds is so depressing and almost caught me. I deleted my account earlier this year and will never regret it. Sure, I had some popular tweets, but I don't care about that small hits of fame anymore. If you engage in communities, or even small groups of friends, which you feel are uncomfortable or unhealthy, then all power's to you to leave, and I highly encourage you to do that if you want to. |
