Bad pattern I noticed.1) I get angry a some high pedigree idiotic comment2) I rant about it3) feel anxious after that I was too mean or harsh or otherwise make a fool of myself, so I lock my account4) calm down and then rewrite the rant on my main feed.Doesn't seem ideal.
I can't seem to realize I'm upset until half way thru when I suddenly notice my typing has speed up and my heart rate is elevated.Maybe a habit of ranting in a text document as a default? Like yelling at the void, but capturing all that windbaggery so I can keep myself warm.
These strong emotions triggering a mind-dump make me super productive in terms of learning, writing, and explaining myself. But when they are done in anger/frustration, it seems to be more destructive than not.It's not cathartic; just painful and more angry making.
I'd rather not be hurtful or mean in these things. It's going to backfire one day and get my account deleted.The chip-on- shoulder thing gives me motivation, but I also see it as one of those "greatest weakness" kinda situations.It's basically this:https://t.co/uVrIjLOU9R
A friend thinks "subtweet" is what it's called when you quote tweet a thread, because the UI literally embeds it underneath (sub vs super). It's cute.Does anyone know the etymology of the term 'subtweet'? Maybe I can train myself a new behavior pathway via learning about it.
