TO TWEET OR NOT TO TWEET.

Why do we tweet?

This has been bugging me for a while which is partly why i stopped cold recently. Just to prove to myself that i don’t need to do it. And believe me…

I don’t.

I do it becasue i iike to engage with people who support what I do, but…

I watch other people on here using it to insult others.

I watch other people begging for followers.

I watch some people retweet every compliment they get, and it makes me sick. (i’ve never done that, i retweeted a few likes for the last film, but I did dislikes too)

Do they need that to make themselves feel good? Accept the compliment, say thanks to that person if you want, move on. I don’t need to know how great you think you are because a fan told you, They’re a fan of course they like you.

but for some boys and girls that’s common place these days. Get a grip please.

I think some people who consider them self celebs, are starting to NEED that reassurance that people like them which actually says more about them than it does the people who compliment them. People with jobs like mine HAVE to remember, we are NOT on the pedestal that some other put us on.

If you wanna come on and chill and chat rubbish about your thoughts, your day, whatever, cool. But hating on others, begging for follows, re-tweeting every compliment, or generally feeling that you are better then everyone and “spreading love to your followers” come on man.

I appreciate everyone that follows me, I really do and I’m thankful, But do i love you? do you REALLY love me? I would like to think we all respect each other until the day we prove we don’t deserve that respect.

Another person said to me the other day it’s a massive ego thing as well, that people full of self importance tweet because they want to tell everyone else what they are doing. Again this bugged me, and I analysed that in myself. Do I NEED to do that?

Nope.

Again, that’s partly why I stopped. And The week i stopped for. I didn’t even miss it and only thought about it when writing this.

So then what is it? is it just a marketing tool to sell things to people who like you, create awareness of projects? It can be as long as that’s not all you do and spend time interacting with people or that becomes redundant and people see through it.

So basically i like twitter, and will keep tweeting becasue i want too and like too. Not becasue i need to or have too… and when I decide i don’t want to anymore or I actually stop liking it because of others or because i’m just fed up…

then i will smply…

Stop!
