Are you also in the race to have more followers than others on Twitter.com? Is it good or bad? Let us not forget that we live in an age when stress is all around us. Some amount of stress is unavoidable - we have to take it. But what about activities where stress can be avoided? Social networking sites have added stress to our life in many ways.
We want to open and view our page every day without fail. If we do not do that, it causes stress. If we post something that may not be liked by others, we are worried. That again causes stress.
We want to tell our friends about everything in our life. Is that necessary? In earlier days, you did not call your friends to tell them that you are drinking coffee, but with Twitter many people are doing exactly that. This is another stress causing factor. Rather than enjoying a sunset, you want to tell your followers that you are watching it- sad but true.
Twitter is the latest big bang on the Internet and everybody wants to have a profile. They were devotees of Facebook, Myspace, Orkut, etc., but suddenly they feel bad if they do not have a page on Twitter. Everybody is thinking about what to write on his or her page. I made a page and decided to write nothing. Why take stress about telling others about when I take bath?
The race for having more followers is a big stress. Tell me, why should I expect people to read what I write? Unless I have a reputation for writing things that are witty, interesting, informative and useful to others, why should anyone follow my page? Till I do that I should be happy with my friends following me. And once I develop some art to make others interested I should be happy to have few followers. I cannot get followers by spamming or by copying others? And ultimately what do I gain by having more followers - nothing. I can gain something if I am there to promote a product or sell a service, not otherwise. Please avoid stress at every cost. Stress takes the joy out of our life. Follow your own friends and let them follow you on Twitter. Following unknown people so that they will in turn follow you is just a stress creator which will amount to nothing in future. So follow your common sense and opt out of the race for more unknown followers on Twitter.
