    I need to go off Twitter. I just can't deal with the volume of well-meaning people missing the point or misunderstanding or asking irrelevant questions or going off at their own tangent or nit-picking things that don't matter. I hate Twitter most of the time now.

        I support you - I enjoy it, but I'm not out there fielding the reception of my work (though I'd be happy to, it's rather non-controversial stuff). If you want to talk strategies to deal with the deluge, I'm happy to be a thoughtful sounding board

        I enjoyed it for a long time. Now, it is overwhelming and I need a distancing strategy.

        It’s very addictive. Try twitter holidays for a few days at a time

        Seriously. Relax and close the app for a while. Twitter is only fun in phases. 😘 feel better, Helen.

        It's become a way for a lot of unintelligent and angry people to self-actualize. Like Facebook, only faster.

        Do you feel obligated to deal with every comment that comes your way? You have too many followers to be THAT conscientious.
