My advice to younger teens on Twitter is if u find ur tl constantly filled w ppl qrting bad takes/annoying ppl or just generally engaging w every little conflict that happens...Try distancing from it. I cant stress how much it poisons ur brain n makes u a very meanspirited person
If u constantly find urself constantly laughing w ur mutuals abt other ppl u don’t rlly know—even if they deserve it—it’s a good idea to unfollow some folks or just not engage as much unless I think it’ll matter within a week or it’s more serious, sometimes u will be expressing
annoyance/disbelief/anger at ppl on here it’s only natural but just constantly bouncing from one dumb person to laugh at to the next every single day fucks with u more then u know n youll just make urself tired n u happy n a lot of enemies
I’m more talking abt casual dumb mini conflicts but I’d also extend this to angrily fighting abt ppl over discourse... there’s a lot to be mad over n i def understand but esp when ur young it rlly fucks w you. This threads kind of old/a mess but i talked abt it here https://twitter.com/burrferns/status/1297964592555888640
Ty to everyone keeping the convo around this post kind n sharing their own reflections n experiences, Adding a reply I made discussing things that might help w pulling away from these sort of environments/behavior! https://twitter.com/burrferns/status/1381460849957605377
