I miss using the old twitter, which was much more peaceful and not as overwhelming as my current twitterfeed.

I used to just follow just a few people, mostly people who don't really know me personally but knew I existed. It was nice, letting a few so-called 'strangers' into your life and vice versa.

Twitter was quiet, nice and peaceful back then.

Actually I can almost relate this to the industrialisation analogy.

If old twitter was an english countryside, new twitter is like the city with all the construction, pneumatic drills and extra noise pollution.

You get the picture, don't you?

Basically I am trying to get at the fact that I not only enjoyed the peace and privacy back then, but also hmm...i don't know how to explain this...probably...intimacy?

I don't know. My tweets are no longer personal anymore. They used to be, because not many people read my tweets anyway, and the people who did, didn't know me well to know what I was talking about. So it was nice, that feeling.

But you see, being the introvert I am, the more people reading what I have to write, the more I feel the need to not express my innermost thoughts. In fact, my tweets are superficial in the sense that I restrict what I write, because of the fear that people might judge. I mean, people are always there to judge, if you don't judge you're either inhuman or very open.

Anyhoo, what I am trying to get at is the fact that I have to restrict what I write because of the instinctive need to.

Also, I think I've come to an awful realisation. I can't help but to judge people the more I read their tweets. This is really bad. Of course, twitter allows anybody to give anybody an insightful view into their lifestyle, thoughts and feelings due to these short-messages or tweets. That is what twitter provides which other services can't. Tweets are entertaining, coming from people of course but sometimes I form negative judgements of people due to these. And I want to stop because it is not a healthy thing to do.

And sometimes I get overwhelmed by the number of tweets that I have to read after a day of not checking it. And it gets tiring, but I just can't help reading them.

But sometimes what I annoys me is what really minute things people can complain about...I don't mind if people tweet about the really insignificant happenings in their life, but really, there are certain types of tweets which frustrates me more than anything.

I guess the tweets I can't stand are the ones against my ideals.

Examples are tweets displaying ignorance, insensitivity, etc...

It makes me feel like retreating back into my protective shell and maybe stop tweeting altogether. :\
