You know twitter fanwars can often make you victims of mental harassment. Earlier this year, I suspended my main account when things got too toxic. I’m just tweeting shit to let you know that twitter is ultimately an escape for the common man. Don’t let it dictate your life!

When you actively indulge in fanwars, you start having an identity crisis. You make twitter your life. You are online 24/7. Once you get into this rabbit hole, it is difficult to come out of it. And, if you are young, it’s going to fuck you completely. Not kidding.

The shit people do here is a result of excessive frustration and insanity. I don’t encourage offensive behaviour in fanwar. Sometimes, people stalk the shit outta you, expose your pictures and try to create a bad image for you. I’ve witnessed this shit, not for myself tho

Also these things have happened to people around me.Sometimes,when people don’t experience good things in life,they create a twitter account to find happiness by tweeting shit they like.When people start limiting this activity by inciting hatred, it can fuck the person completely

Okay so I’m not gonna talk about depressive shit hereon. This is the last one. Attention seeking and this RT business is a thing on twitter. But, never let this thing affect you so much that you hurt individuals mentally. Targeting a celeb is okay, targeting the person isn’t

So, there was a time in my life when I experienced something similar. Not too extreme because I learnt to deal with it. I’m going to open up because I think it might help a few people who might be in a similar situation right now. But, no matter what the situation is, be sane!

So I made a twitter account last Jan, right before my 12th board exams. Thankfully, I wasn’t that active before February end I guess. My grandmother died in January and, I lost a close companion. I joined twitter because Simmba had released and it made me happy

As time passed, I made twitter my life. I used to be online 24/7. I made good friends on twitter. I used to consider them my life. I used to participate in fanwars. Even I got into this RT game that’s toxic. I don’t remember if I’ve dragged a person, but things were serious

It’s not that I hate specific actors, something just made me the person I was back then. I remember a few Crazens talking to me in DMs, trying to calm me but shit escalated. I developed hatred for certain fandoms. I used to have breakdowns often. I can’t articulate shit

This thing is personal and articulating it is difficult, but I’m sure some may relate to it. People on twitter started affecting me so much that I started having breakdowns everytime a person I liked tweeted an indirect against me. Lol, it was that bad, my mental ‘condition’

I lost a few friends because of fanwars and, that shit hurt a lot. I’m not kidding. I used to think about it for hours and cry. It was April-May I guess. I had my competitive exams in May and, at this point I was shit obsessed with twitter. Online 24 hours. Constant trolling etc

I started gaining followers though. From various fandoms. I thought of myself as some big shot on social media with a few 100s of followers. The flamboyance and that no fucks given attitude. But, later I realized this made me toxic within. I lost contact with real life friends

So I had my CLAT exam on 26th May. I always wanted to pursue law. And, I fucked up that day and that was when I had my first panic attack. I don’t remember if I tweeted something that day, but I went offline for days. When I came back, I was the happiest person but, it was fake

I have had 2 close friends on this app, with whom I’ve shared the most personal shit. I’m pretty fortunate they are people, I can trust. There was this night, I didn’t know what was going on with my admissions and shit and I lost my shit. These two people were there for me

But even today, If I look back in retrospect, my obsession with twitter took away my CLAT ambition from me. But, yeah I joined college and slowly I started coming online less often. I made great friends in real life. I got busy. I felt much happier. It wasn’t fake

Then Idk I became really distant from twitter in November/December. That was the happiest I had been in recent times. It was pretty great. But, I started losing touch with my close friends on twitter. I’m sort of making up for it now but, it happened

Idk what happened one day, I just suspended my accounts for some reason and I went offline for weeks/months. I came back only in Feb I guess. I don’t remember. But, yeah I learnt how to not let twitter dictate who you are as a person.I am not obsessed today. I can stay without it

I ended up spoiling equations with close friends on twitter but,ultimately none of this matters. You might not meet these angels/bastards ever in your life. It’s high time you face it.

Your real life you matters the most. Get yourself busy, party with friends.Don’t be obsessed.

Ultimately, if you really like people over here and trust them with shit, you can always share your number and get to whatsapp. At least that’s what I do because I know I can’t be a constant in this app.

If you aren’t a hard nut, follow what I did. You’ll be fine! Love you
