Love this! I'm on Twitter (x) myself. I have been on it since 2009, lol. I get it the harassment thing is unnerving. An ex's new gf came hard at me, told me to off myself-- I retweeted it to the mass of followers I had on the account I was using and let them handle it. I considered the source... but she is now in my memoir looking pretty ugly herself but of course her name has been changed. Still, there's sick people out there. All this too after he had broken her arm... like, what?!? Sick.
Anyways, I say no a lot to what I don't want to do and what I don't feel comfortable with. It takes practice but soon I can't stop lol. I hope and I do believe that's a good thing! ♥️😊
A big Yes to saying No. also, thank you for the warning, because I’ve never been asked for my opinion, but now I will think twice before offering it if that ever occurs. Brilliant. I was so unsettled the day of the eclipse! Weird things were happening and I was getting weird vibes from a lot of people. I swear everyone at work was losing their mind. All kinds of issues were being escalated and blown up, and as soon as the eclipse was over, everything settled down. So you weren’t the only one that was anxious. in relation to footnote number one, my therapist just told me that the saying, “ Jack of all trades and master of none” is incomplete! The actual saying from William Shakespeare, “ Jack of all trades and master, but maybe better than master of one.” I actually don’t think that someone who has focused entirely on one subject for 20 years is necessarily more of an expert than someone who has brought in other perspectives and other things into their world that will ultimately shape what they think about that one thing. (I do think they are more of an expert than the person who’s decided to claim expert on social media because they have experienced something themselves for one year from one perspective.)

Well said. I feel the same way.
The eclipse wore me out!! You are not alone
You do you. Self care is so important. If that means saying no, say no shamelessly - you don’t owe anyone anything x
