Yeah,
sure...I should be working on a project for work that needs to be completed in
about 14 and a half hours, but the events of the day have just compounded; this
week has been trying my world in regards to social media. On both Facebook and
Twitter, it has been challenging this week and both for different reasons.
Sure, I do feel a little silly saying that people who reside inside my
Chromebook and phone have the ability to rile me up so, but the fact that they
are real people and not just some fictitious virus or known unknown is why it
is a little disturbing.
This week,
my troll on Facebook raised its ugly head again, this time under a new
pseudonym instead of duplicating my account, and they started to slander me on
the local news site, accusing me of saying such horrible things. After my
experience of being an outcast nearly everywhere I have been, I would pretty
much be the last person to tell another soul that they should kill themselves.
This troll has been harassing me for a while now, and I still have no idea what
they want or what the goal is to their mayhem.
Today
culminated the loveliness of social media, as I awoke to a direct message from
someone I follow on Twitter and Instagram. Apparently I am a dominant person on
her timeline and she told me that she was going to unfollow me for posting too
many pictures. On a picture sharing site. I wouldn’t have had a problem, nor
even noticed if she unfollowed if it wasn’t for her message telling me that she
was unfollowing me. I really don’t care who follows me where (unless it’s to
the bathroom, then it’s just creepy). It escalated to me venting about not only
her but the week in general, only to have her reply to me, and then delete the
tweet about me needing to grow up and stop playing the victim. Then they (her
and a friend) made an Audioboo about me, basically calling me a dominant bully.
I am not sure that neither she nor her followers realize that not all of my
tweets were about the exchange.
But...if
the words fit or strike a nerve, then maybe it says more about the reader than
the writer? Anyway, I just felt like sharing and getting the irritation away
from my creativity. Time to finish the remaining 6.5 pages. Oh, also kicking
around the idea of starting a podcast or forum. If you’re interested, let me
know. If you wish I’d change how I am living my life, by all means, let me know
that too!
