Avid tweeter and millennial Lena Dunham is over the 140 character lifestyle.

It seems the Girls actress has deleted the Twitter app from her phone because she is "trying to create a safer space" for herself "emotionally."

Dunham explained her Twitter purge on Sunday night during a Golden Globes red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest, after Seacrest asked if she would be checking social media to see how people are reacting to the Season 4 premiere of her show.

There's a lot of people I love on Twitter, but unfortunately you can't read those without reading deranged Neocons telling you you should be buried under a pile of rocks.

Perhaps Pinterest would be more welcoming?

But it should also be said, Dunham tweeted a few hours ago.

Girls Season 4 premieres tonight at 9pm on HBO. No presh. I mean, who cares, right!?— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) January 11, 2015

Clearly Dunham is just on track her her 2015 resolutions as you are.
