I’ve been thinking on people who never seem to interact with me except to correct me.
It’s something that annoys me on Tumblr as well, it’s not limited strictly to twitter. But it is annoying AF It makes me wonder if it’s a hate follow. Are they just waiting to pounce the moment I make a mistake? Have their gotcha! moment? Shocking news, I’m human and will make mistakes. Being told I’m wrong isn’t the issue here. It’s the folks who only show up when I mess up
Then out comes a bunch of people to tell me what I got wrong. In rapid succession to the point where I get irritated. What I’m talking about now are the followers who don’t really say much until I make an error in tweeting/retweeting a thing. I’ve got a lot of folks following me, and the fast moving nature of twitter means it’s easy to miss a tweet here or there.
Maybe it’s also how I use twitter and foolishly expect people who use it to act right. Maybe I shouldn’t expect this Cause if you can’t realize I don’t always want a conversation or to interact I’m not really interested in your unasked for opinions Sometimes I can ignore it. Other times I might mute or if you really irritate me you can catch a quick soft-block Or people that just *have* to reply to something I’ve said.
Sometimes I just wanna say my piece & go about my day. Not engage about it endlessly or with people I don’t even follow but feel the need to chime in to have their daily dose of being “right” as they can be about a thing.
It’s irritating. Imagine if at your job or school, a coworker or worse, someone who doesn’t even work in your same area always felt the need to throw in their two cents if they overhear a conversation that they maybe, sort of could contribute to or not really. It would get old and annoying right?
Same for me on twitter. I don’t need people to constantly @ me only to go HA YOU ARE WRONG! Not that I’m never wrong or don’t want to be told when I fuck up. But when the only engagement I get is people pointing out mistakes and nothing else? I wonder about their motivation in following me.
