Is Twitter a form of therapy?

Tim Ferriss discusses Twitter as a form of personal therapy in a conversation with David Heinemeier Hansson on The Tim Ferriss Show. They both liken it to "screaming into a pillow," where users can vent their thoughts and feelings. David finds personal therapy in using Twitter, as it allows him to channel his emotions and gain insights from others’ posts, whether they are humorous or serious. Tim jokingly considers changing his bio to "Screaming Into the Pillow since 2009" as a reflection of this therapeutic use 1.

In essence, Ferriss and Hansson acknowledge that Twitter can serve a therapeutic function by providing an emotional outlet and fostering a sense of connection and understanding through shared experiences.
