I often tweet things that I would feel too horrified/embarrassed/ashamed to say to a friend or loved one, even though most of my friends and loved ones read my Twitter account.

To me, Twitter often feels like shouting things into a two-way mirror that I know has people behind it, maybe even people I know, and they are definitely listening, but mostly remain perfectly silent.

I think my most shameful thoughts are the things people relate to the most, because everyone has questionable thoughts sometimes, and it's easy to feel incredibly alienated and lonely when you feel like nobody else is having those thoughts too.

I really like when people do 'stream of consciousness' tweeting, or when people's tweets come across as sort of manic and mostly unedited.

I will sometimes post tweets that are about a specific person or people, in which case I will imagine the people I am tweeting about to be my audience.

I enjoy twitter accounts that are meticulously edited just as much as I enjoy twitter accounts that aren't edited at all, but it can feel kind of disappointing to me when I see that someone is editing their tweets out of self-consciousness.

For reasons that I don't fully understand, Twitter is a place where I don't feel ashamed to say my most shameful thoughts.
