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 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

It's a hazard of presenting expertise in a public forum. There's more non-experts that show up, most with names that sound like Dunning and Kruger.

I quit it for a few days last month. It was a good idea, tbh, although I was less well informed.

I created a gif to help me through times like these. It's relates to that moment when everyone is coming at you for "being inappropriate". Enjoy:pic.twitter.com/J2yUoSqhI7

It does seem as though you spend an inordinate amount of time responding to flame wars and expressing frustration at Twitter. It is a global village, as McLuhan noted, albeit a 16th-17th Century village.
