Dear Fuck-Up,
My friend “Jen” and I have known each other since childhood. We’ve always been self-described best friends in spite of being far apart for college, moves, relationships, etc. We now live in the same state about an hour apart.
My issue stems from the fact that almost all of Jen’s social contact now comes from Twitter. If I send her a text, she may not reply for three days, but if I reply to one of her tweets, she answers almost instantly. When we do see each other in person, she’s on her phone and tweets multiple times. It seems like the only way for me to know what’s going on with her life is to read her tweets. I found out that her dad was in the hospital and that she had been in a car accident from Twitter.
Of course, it’s designed to feel like enough, when in fact it’s terribly insufficient. Spend too much of your day on Twitter and it can start to seem like disclosing facts about yourself is a meaningful replacement for being truly vulnerable with others; that being seen can save you the risks of being known. It’s a beguiling lie, which is why it works so well.
