There is something called “being chronically online” where people almost see themselves as the main character in some big game - life isn’t about other people, it’s about watching people - and they attempt to exempt themselves from criticism, live through others parasocially, and throw stones in the online arena.

That's not why we come to Twitter. This place is the digital Colosseum and we want to see blood. But it's increasingly obvious to me that we spend our time fighting here about sensational stuff that no one can do anything about, because we feel impotent to make real change in our own lives.
