No one is more surprised than I am to be growing on X(Twitter) . I didn’t join X(Twitter) for financial gain but to connect with fellow deveopers and tech enthusiasts. I had slight fear about running into toxic X(Twitter), but I could handle it.

Yesterday, I asked if anyone had anything they wanted to know about because I wanted to write another post about something. Since I am new to blogging, ideas have been hard to come by. When a few people said to write about how I am growing so rapidly on X(Twitter). I was like, ‘Who Me?’ I didn't realize I had been.

I am not actively trying to grow but am grateful for the growth I’ve experienced. I sit around pondering how to go viral on X. But here is what I am doing that seems to be working in my favor.

I typically post things that interest me, and I ask a lot of questions — I mean a lot. That’s just who I am. You can call me, Curious George, if you’re old enough to remember the character.

I try to follow all the tech people I can find. I want to reach out to the tech-X(Twitter) community. I have met some kind and brilliant people on this platform. What I have learned is to not randomly follow everyone, but to be dicerning on those I do follow. Also, have some interaction with them before following them.

I am completely authentic. I don’t have the time, patience, or energy to have a different personality on X(Twitter) than I do in real life. I want to be liked for who I am and not what I think people want me to be. I have spent most of my life living that way and I refuse to go back to that ever. I know I am not everyone’s cup of tea which is just apart of being human.

So for the people who have asked me what I am doing to grow on X(Twitter), I guess just being myself and not looking for anything other than a true connection. I hope this can in some ways help you be who you are on this platform. As an introvert, I find it hard sometimes, but the benefit is truly outweighing the negative stuff in my head.

It has taken me my entire life to stop trying to be what others want me to be and to be who I am meant to be. People come and go in your life for a reason and a season, so they will on X(Twitter). But the ones who want to stay will, and those are the relationships you need to cultivate. At least that is what I am trying to do.

To wrap this up before I get more philosophical, I suppose I’ve grown on X(Twitter) because I stay true to myself and consistently strive to be kind.
