Letting the whole world knows how you are doing makes you look vulnerable. You may not care what others perceive who you are. For social desirability, you can choose to deceive or you can choose to stay away from it!
As you are abusing the greatest medium that is created online, some other people are doing wonders with it. Make a proper choice.

With all due respect, it should apply to situations when people forsake Twitter by putting updates along the lines of "I am happy" or "I am sad" (and nothing more than that). And it definitely should apply to instances where it's bordering on personal attacks.
But we can't make statements which are as cold, dark and grey as British weather (I reckon you'd be reacting to that, wouldn't you ?). Each tweet of ours, regardless of what it is, is bound to be infused with emotions to some extent. Followers can recognise them. We have to be realistic. If we're going to have to tweet in the negative, we will. It's not a question about desirability. It's a question of respect. The very fact that we're being followed whilst we tweet, hinting how we feel, shows that our followers see integrity in us. If things are wrong, we just tell them as it is. If we're irritated or down in the dumps, likewise, whilst respecting the boundaries.
Social media are created for humanity, and not vice versa. And honestly speaking, to take the emotion out of social media is to make a mockery of the commune of users.
