Twitter is the very definition of "too many cooks in the kitchen," but breaking the platform down into sections and focusing on your own specific interests makes it significantly more bearable.

People who are passionate about government issues, for example, can follow Politics Twitter. Those looking to promote their businesses in a cheesy fashion can engage with Brand Twitter. And rom-com obsessed hopeless romantics like myself, who aren't afraid to share their hearts on their timelines, have Crush Twitter.

Now, when I say Crush Twitter, I'm not referring to some creepy online community dedicated to stalking crushes. Crush Twitter is simply a section of social media where people lightly broadcast their crush-related frustrations, make jokes, and empathize with others who understand first-hand how miserable and magical having a crush can be.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term "crush," it's defined as "an intense and usually passing infatuation." The official definition isn't technicallyincorrect, but it's a painfully simplistic summation that fails to capture all the hidden emotional tolls having a crush can take on a person.

As someone who's had a fair share of crushes over the years, I can say with absolute ambivalence that the experience is a tantalizing and torturous emotional roller coaster. This is a truth that Crush Twitter understands perfectly.

Wondering whether or not your crush is requited, parsing conversations for subtext, explaining interactions to your friends, and playing an endless loop of potential scenarios in your head are all common parts of a crush. And they're exhausting, so sometimes releasing a fraction of your frustration — even if it's by sending a single tweet — can be very therapeutic.

While crush frustration is definitely a go-to topic of discussion on Crush Twitter, the community of brave souls who publicly admit to having crushes also enjoy using humor to make light of relatable crush-related realities, like so.

When you think about it, Crush Twitter is essentially comprised of a bunch of subtweets. But they're not malicious ones.

Since many people keep the identities of their crushes secret — and oftentimes crushes themselves don't even knowthey're crushes — the source of inspiration behind each crush tweet can rarely be traced back to one particular individual.

While the term "crush" carries so much weight and can easily be used as shorthand to refer to one specific individual in conversation with friends, without any context the word is vague. So rather than serving as obvious, pointed digs designed to call out the object of one's affection, crush tweets are crafted in such a way that they broadly appeal to anyone who's ever had a crush.

Even the official Twitter account recognizes Crush Twitter, though they don't quite get it. On several occasions the account has tried to partake in public crush discussions by prompting users to reveal the names or handles of their crushes. But that's not Crush Twitter's style.
