I QUIT: “for a good”

I'm baffled, I've got racists, misogynists, neonazis, and other assorted bullies coming at me every day with the most horrid insults. I report them and you tell me they've done nothing wrong.

I'm fed up and annoyed of some people from my generation if you keep bringing people down and being horrible during this hard time even though, they're the ones trying to spread awarness of mentall health practice what you preach.

I don’t care if you don’t like me, but "how dare you try to bring me down for something beyond my control like my mental health." — That was lower than low and you’re a scumbag, you deserve everything you have coming to you low life.

Its hard to believe in yourself when others try to bring you down and I need to learing my mind because is good for my mental health. Been pretending to be okay, but this is exhausting and breaking down every day is too. Where’s the middle ground?

2021 has been a bully to my mental health, so I ring the damn bell.

"Do you thinks it’s okay to bully and punch down on people with mental health issues, and you tried denying me was even mentally illnesd and is now minimizing, deflecting also avoiding responsibility for directing abuse at me. What a piece of shit?"

Seriously how disguting of you to say that you really don’t care about somone feelings or emotions. I bet you lack empathy to even care and what you just said might of affected my mental health but nah. I’m gonna stand strong, can’t let bullies like you bring me down.

Twitter isn’t good for my mental health, there are some toxic and mean people who just knows how to bully and harass someone. I’m disappointed.”

When people have been oppressed and bullied for too long, they snap. I happen to know that is the precise goal of my bullies. That's why they use mental health stigma loaded slurs so they can say they were right when I break down but I've learned some great coping strategies.

“I’m not saying I don’t feel like I might break down at times, I’m not saying that it’s easy. I’m just saying that there’s no way they’ll ever turn me into a violent person.” — I won’t let them bully me into becoming more like they are ever. Violence is not the answer, it never is.

Blows my mind, "how people will tweet all this stuff about mental health and how they struggle with it and then straight up bully people and put others down like how do you live with yourself?"

I feel like depression is becoming this aesthetic people take on and its so demeaning to people who have real health problems they have to deal with everyday. A bad day doesn’t mean you have “depression and anxiety” it isn’t some package deal you can exploit for attention.

While struggling kids may turn to social media as a cry for help, just know when you speak on that you are representing people who have been hospitalized and lost there friends to suicide.

I'm done interacting with these bullies. I will continue to report their harassment and abuse on Twitter. Moral of the story is: "i’m done letting (some, definitely not all) twitter users bully me into submission." — To all my lovely followers both on Instagran and Twitter: "create what makes your heart happy, do not let others’ control what you do. do everything with love."

I’m not going to argue with people over Twitter like I said, I don’t agree with things he has said and done but at the end of the day we are all humans with human emotions.

“I don’t agree with everything he has said and done, but regardless he’s (@4ndit) still a human. I don’t see the point of attacking someone online, he was wrong to bully and a real human being who should be treated with respect.”

There’s a difference between "bullying" and "calling people out on their bullshit." — Also, I will never be as bad as he is, I actually respect people that derserve it. You enabling him to bully makes you just as bad as he is. He should be taken off the platform.

After a full day of being bullied, called "creepy", lied to and lied about I'm totally done. I've shown the facts and anyone with a brain can see they continues to bait me. I'm taking a couple of days off.

I’m done arguing with idiots on Twitter, I’m just wasting me breath. These idiots with always want to use lies to bully people and now my watch has ended.”

I will never stand idly by while entire groups of people are "hounded" and "harassed" for expressing their true identity. It is unacceptable how many privileged people are bullies or give bullies a pass. Not on my watch.

If someone likes me, they like me. If they don’t, they don’t.” — Recently got rid of someone out of my life that clearly didn’t like me and bullied me and some other people I know.

“The person was leading a support group community on Twitter I was joining for 2 years, meant to be supportive yet turned out a bully. No need for it, I’m so completely done.”

  1. There has been a lot of talk about "cancel culture" in the last few years, and more in the last few days. Some would have you believe that putting things right or standing up to bullies and racists and holding them accountable is cancel culture.
  2. But no, that is not "cancel culture" holding people accountable for their deeds and words, pushing everyones to change their image by removing hurtful stereotypes is not cancel culture. "That being said, there is a real cancel culture going on out there, one that is far more harmful to our world as a whole."

You are responsible for every word you say, don't hurt people and don't joke with cruel words. You will never imagine how long your words will stay in someone's mind.

“Some people will follow you, literally stalk you, tirelessly copy you, brutally but will never hit that button or utter a word of acknowledgment and why? ” — Because it hurts their big ego and reminds them of their insecurities.

“Have you noticed I never mentioned your names, because I still respect you more than you’ve respected me.” — Even though I’ve despised your actions and you hurt me so badly, every person involved in this bullshit even the people who blocked me without a word.

I would have never been so mad and for so long had it not been for that absolute lack of human concern for all the people who hurt me, no one really ever said a word and even helped make it worse to hurt me more and "help" the abuser.

“Sorry again for any pain I have caused or anything I did not do to help make this community a better place on Twitter, I will try harder.” — I am going to go off as soon as possible for a couple of weeks so other voices can be heard. I will be listening and I am easy to reach if the need arises.

  • If someone needs validation to do the right thing, they were never doing it for the right reasons.
  • Future actions will lead to acceptance and forgiveness, not words.
  • The whole point is that it’s not about them, it’s about the people who were hurt.
  • If people keep attacking those who apologize and try to improve, people will stop apologizing and trying to improve.
  • You can hold people accountable without being toxic, people are gonna misinterpret and tell things that they have no way of knowing just to cancel you.

Room 305: "The Urban Legend" is my last contribution on Twitter, I have decided to stop writing mine here and moves to other platform on Wattpad.

There is so much scope for contribution, all the content for tests can be added to really easily. I hope to get the out soon.

  • It’s the unfortunate truth but I will not allow this to stop me. I will keep making all the content I want and never stop.
  • I appreciate those who have been supportive and really came forward as a friend, big thanks to everyone on Twitter and Instagram for being so wonderful through it all.

“I’m going to start making content fully on Wattpad. To express my gratitude, I will never stop making the content that brought me to this point and instead become a semi relevant. — I am grateful for y’all support.”

Love, Oliver
