Twitter

I discontinued my Twitter endeavors recently.  I'm sure it was to the dismay of close to 500 followers.  I just cannot deal with the constant negativity I see everyday.  I dont want to have to go on to only see people indirectly bashing each other.  What makes me irritated is when people are indirectly confronting each other.  These twitter fights are people publicly sending out hate mail knowing all too well that the person they are bashing will see it.  Apparently we're too technologically advanced to confront each other publicly.  It just doesnt make sense.  And everyone thinks Twitter becomes exciting when people are fighting on it.  I find it very disturbing.  I find it disturbing that we live in an era where sitting behind a screen gives people false senses of confidence.  Things are put on twitter that would never be said in a face to face conversation.  The worst part about social media, is the lack of being able to decipher emotions.  A emoticon or emoji is not going to do the trick.

The biggest reason I left twitter was because of all the negativity.  There's not enough positive messages being spread around twitter.  I want to close my twitter app with a smile on my face, not regretting that I opened it in the first place.  So I guess I took the path of ignorance is bliss.  I do not want to subject myself to the daily tribulations that is Twitter.  Leaving twitter was hard considering that I would call myself a twitter addict.  I enjoyed putting a smile on people's face.  Its one of the greatest feelings in the world.  Getting positive responses to my tweets made me feel great and Im glad it made others feel the same way.  Well I guess this is the only place to share my thoughts now.
