Model Chrissy Teigen announced she was deleting her Twitter account Wednesday.

Teigen revealed she has to work on not letting the negativity get to her in a Thursday Instagram post.

“The trolls I can deal with, although it weighs on you,” she wrote. “Someone can’t read that they disappointed you in some way every single day, all day without physically absorbing that energy. I can feel it in my bones.”

“My desire to be liked and fear of pissing people off has made me somebody you didn’t sign up for, and a different human than I started out here as!” Teigen originally wrote in one of her last tweets on Wednesday evening, the web archive showed.

“Live well, tweeters. Please know all I ever cared about was you!!!” (RELATED: ‘I Was Done Making An A** Of Myself’: Chrissy Teigen Reveals Why She Wanted To Get Sober)

Teigen has taken a break from Twitter before and has even put her profile on private in the past.

I’m sad to see Teigen leave Twitter. She really made it a fun place to be sometimes, but I know not everyone will miss her.

It’s just kind of special for a celebrity to actually bring you into their world instead of just showing you a curated version of themselves. Teigen definitely did that and sometimes you got to see her innermost thoughts on Twitter. It was refreshing.

Teigen will be missed, at least by me.
