I forget that people have milestones on social media and I how could I forget? I use to have milestones I wanted to achieve throughout the year on Twitter and Twitch, but I got too wrapped up in it. I use to get really anxious, cry, question my self-worth and starve myself. 1/4
I got too worried about how many followers I had, likes my posts got and if I was well liked enough. I’d stop eating. Especially, if I was going to cosplay at an event. I wouldn’t sleep because I was always worried about my social media presence. 2/4
I was worried I wasn’t good enough, or loved enough. I was worried I wasn’t pretty, people in the community only talk to me because they pity me due to my disability.

I still feel like this sometimes, but I’m learning to detach myself, observe, and put down my phone. 3/4
Sometimes, I just scroll through Twitter and Instagram, like a few posts, but I still feel anxious.

I’m writing this thread because social media is very destructive, as much as it is good. I’m writing this because I want to help someone who feels or has felt the same way. 4/4
