NOTHING will ever be significant enough to induce wrinkles on your forehead, nor around your eyes.
Unless you let them be. You have a choice, remember that.
You may not be able to control your circumstances, but you certainly can control yourself. :)

Thinking of micro-blogging here instead, in the long-run... as in, saying stuff in bits and pieces in one consolidated post for the day. Twitter isn't safe anymore.
How ironic, that I may perceive a public blog to be safer than a protected micro-blogging account.
I cannot NOT rant somewhere because typing stuff out helps me displace my conflicts. I don't like the idea of building up everything within me. So... if one platform doesn't work out, I look for alternatives :)

Yes, you have a choice.
Let them destroy you and give in to what they want, or make use of your entitlement, and feel empowered for having tried.

EDIT: Okay according to my text (Communication Mosaics: An Introduction to the Field of Communication, Sixth Edition, by Julia T. Wood), when I do this, I am engaging in a process of positive self-talk - a way to interrupt and challenge negative messages from self and others. It's used to resist counterproductive communication about myself. It's the opposite of self-sabotage, which involves telling ourselves we are no good, we can't do something, there's no point in trying to change, and so forth. It defeats us because it undermines our belief in ourselves. Self-sabotage is poisonous; it destroys our motivation to grow. Mental note: ALWAYS engage in positive self-talk instead of self-sabotage :)
