Greetings bloggers, tweeters, and repeaters,
I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful first day of October. What a pleasure it is to wake up to the crisp morning air, sun shining, leaves changing, and city bustling!
So browsing twitter today, I was scrolling through, reading everybody's "two cents" on life when I came across a tweet that left me feeling sorry for a tweeter. We all have bad days, but this guy tweeted a not-so-optimistic tweet about the start of a new month. The tweeter, Scott, tweeted this today:
Here's to hoping this month doesn't suck as much as the last...
Yikes! I hope the rest of you are not so disappointed with the past month. It is understandable that daily trials can get anyone down and in a funk. We all have days where we feel like screaming, but we all also cope with them differently. I believe there are two reasons a social network user would publicly post such a depressing outlook on the kick off to a new month. Either:
1. Comfort. The user wants others to assure him this month will be better.
2. Association. The user wants others to agree with him and relate to him with their own accounts of how last month really sucked.
3. Attention. The user wants people to feel sorrow for him and reach out.
4. Impulse. The user just typed what he was feeling and thinking impulsively; he did not consider the impact it would have on his friends and peers.
Of course there could be other motives for posting such a post. What do you guys think?
