Twitter

Now I joined twitter about a year ago now i'd say and its been a rollercoaster of emotions for me to be honest,alot good and some bad.I definietly think its helped me in a certain ways as it has inspired me to push forward with my life as when you read tweets of what people are doing with themselves and you're not it can be quite upsetting but also motivating which is a good thing.Ok now where do I start,most of the people ive chatted to on there have been very friendly,understanding and supportive,however I have encountered a few who were pretty nasty and intolerant and just not the nicest of people which at the time got to me but with time as most things those feelings subsided.I guess my biggest problem with twitter has been at times ive become too emotionally attached to people who in reality are complete strangers,in normal circumstances I dont believe i'd do that but because I have a lack of friends at the present time due to my situation ive definietly been guilty of that.Ive had alot of comments from people saying things like "this is twitter,its meant to be fun.You shouldnt take it seriously as its not real" and those people are right it isnt real but my circumstances are alot different to most people and hence i develop attachments to people.In the end it normally comes back to bite me if im honest as someone who seems like a very good friend on twitter one minute can suddenly stop talking to you the next out of the blue and thats something ive definietly found to deal with at times,the fickleness of it.On the upside though ive met some very nice,very supportive people who whilst we dont know each other in real life have treated me like a true friend and have always been there to help me when ive felt fed up and im truely grateful for that.It shows that there is genuine,decent people out there who care,even if they dont know you properly!So to summarise id say my time on twitter has been mixed,it has this weird affect on you (me) whereby it seems like real life but its not,that might sound odd but its definietly the case.Ive enjoyed it on the whole though as I like interacting with people and whilst being a recluse have never been an anti-social person overrall.Also something ive been majorly guilty of is letting the reaction i get on twitter ie replies,etc dictate my mood ie if I get alot and they're positive I feel good about myself but if i get very few and the ones i do get arent the best then i tend to feel like crap and thats a silly way to go on as im letting other people dictate my emotions! Anyway thanks for reading and tell me what you think with comments and feedback!Matt xx
