Author here. You'll notice I didn't ask the reader to "follow me on twitter".
I had ~30 people reach out to me in DMs on twitter.
Some were people who feel in a similar position but don't know what to do. Others were people who have been where I am and offered advice.
Twitter is just a tool to connect with people outside of the immediate circle I have around me, I don't think there's any problem with using it as such.
- bacon_waffle 4y agoForgive me, but I don't understand the relevance of "follow" vs "reach out to". In the post, you wrote a paragraph starting with `Almost everything around me is designed to addict me.`, which seems incongruous with communicating through Twitter. I'm glad it has worked out well for you and those ~30 other folks anyway. Mainly I intended to say that I have exited and successfully re-entered the rat race (actually, a few times), and fully support others in doing so. Do it while you can! Many commenters clearly don't get it, and probably never will. But, I do, and I don't have a Twitter account.
