The worst thing about Twitter is that 3-5% of your audience will interpret what you’ve said with the least charitable interpretation.

When you have 5k followers, these are usually whackos with anonymous accounts. Whatever...

When you have 100k+, it’s people you actually admire.

Our brains aren’t designed for this.

And accordingly, it always ruins my day and makes me feel sad, no matter how unfair I think their interpretation of what I’ve said is.

Such a catch 22...

On the positive side:

Share learnings with others, get dopamine hits and feedback, meet smart people, build an audience, etc.

On the negative side:

Become disliked by 3-5% of people who previously had a neutral or even positive opinion of you.
