Fuck's sake! I have been so relaxed & positive & productive while not on Twitter. Drawn back for an hour due to a friend being misrepresented & now I'm stressed & furious & inclined to think the vast majority of humans dishonest, stupid & unreasonable again & despair of us.

I've always loved Twitter and all the connections I have on here but now, so much nit-picking & niggly objections & deliberate misunderstanding & people insisting I must respond to them on topics I got tired of discussing years ago, I'm in a constant state of stress.

Which is silly as Twitter is something I choose to do because I get a lot out of being connected to so many thoughtful and interesting people with a variety of political & ideological views & all kinds of different expertise and knowledge. I don't have to lose that.

I just need to rethink my relationship with Twitter and make a new one on my own terms. I'm sorry, people who think you should never mute or block and should be open to all comers and answer every tweet that seems polite & sincere. I used to think the last two but too much now.

I will work out a strategy so I can use Twitter the way I want to use it and not feel guilty about that. I will still be open to people I don't know making interesting & thoughtful comments but not 24/7 or I just get taken over by it and never get anything done & don't sleep.

I know it seems silly to get stressed out by Twitter. Very first world problems. But it's not Twitter itself. It's me and feeling like I have a responsibility to engage with everything & being far too baitable that makes Twitter stressful. I must learn to be selective & to ignore

Also remember that if you get multiple arguments along similar lines, you only need to respond to one example, given you reply-by-RT so the other askers will see the reply anyway.
