I can’t spend
too much time
on Twitter
during the best
of times.
As a friend once told me,
Twitter is where
drama lives.
‘Normal’ posts
don’t get much love there.
If folks want eyeballs,
the posts have to be
very high drama.
Now that
we’re in a crisis situation,
I’m avoiding it completely.
I can’t deal with the extra stress.
“Twitter has been
engineered
to maximize panic.
Calm is penalized,
panic is amplified.
And if you are hanging out
in real life
with people who spend
a lot of time
on social media
and news sites,
you’ve invited
all of those people
into your circle
as well.”
Your mental health
is important.
Monitor your actions
and try to minimize/eliminate
any
that increase
your stress/panic level.
