Because he's drunk.

It's twitter. Spelling and grammar mistakes are typical. I can't count the times I've made a typo or was forced to ignore proper grammar because of the character limit.
I don't expect perfect English on twitter.

But it is kind of shocking how so many Americans are so bad when it comes to the spelling and grammar of their own language. English is the easiest language in the world to learn.

Btw, Richie is responding to fans again. This might be interesting for all you wanna-be psychologists:

@TheRealSambora: No matter we are all undiscovered till we get to who we are....thank god for the search....

@jovigirl_fm: @TheRealSambora Some are searching who they are for their whole life. Blessed who finds himself early enough... Be and enjoy who you are...

@TheRealSambora: Sigrid....thank u for your understanding of where I come from. I don't know myself.... Just tryin to find the road...

It amazes me that he uses twitter for these kinds of expressions, I mean he is a grown man and not a teenager.

That brings up something that struck me awhile ago: I read a quote from Richie where he said the rock and roll lifestyle keeps you young. While I think he was referring to looks with that quote --(this was around the release of 'Aftermath', where many interviewers were commenting on how good he looked) --it might be an example of staying mentally or emotionally young, too.

I can think of any number of ways you could argue that Richie might be mentally/emotionally younger than most 50-somethings (that I know, at least):

1. Ava apparently having to give him an age limit on women Richie dates;
2. Richie calling Ava his 'angel' and 'savior' (a sweet thing to say, but puts a lot of 'responsibility' on the shoulders of a teenager;
3. The whole open-shirt debate and people complaining that it doesn't look good on a 54-year-old man, as well as the debate about what Ava is 'allowed' to wear and whether that is too 'adult' for a teenager;
4. Whether or not Richie might be 'impressionable' regarding the influence of others, like Nikki or Sean Borg;
5. The occasional times where fans lash out at him on Twitter and he posts defensive-sounding gibberish, then backtracks and said he was hacked;
6. The comment he made in 'WWWB' about how his job was to keep Jon happy;
7. This latest example of not knowing who he is.

Generally speaking -- (and this only makes sense if any of these above examples hold truth in any way) -- those who define their worth by others' 'approval' of them usually, at some point, 'wake up' and realize they've been inauthentic to themselves. Problem is, they don't know "who" they really are.

Just another theory...could be wildly off base of course.

To be fair, its basically the same thing he said in Who I Am,
just condensed into 140 characters

If we are going to play psychoanalist today, I may as well jump onto the band wagon and get slammed.
I adore Richie, but I think we all tend to "judge" for lack of a better word based upon what we know, see, hear from the media and his videos, interviews and now tweets. I think he has lived most of his life with excess upon excess but he seemed to enjoy it. Purhaps at 54 he has finally reached a point for some inner reflection. Trying to find the best him he feels he can still be (hitting the gym and he does look as fit as I've seen him in years) But, what still stands out for me is that this is a man who lived with chemicals and alcohol constantly influencing him. He has per most been clean for sometime (although I did fear a bit of a relapse with some of the behaviors) and recovery is a very difficult time. There is no cure for an addictive personality and they often sustitute something else, maybe not as harmful but still trying to constantly fill a need. They often flee from the negativity because they have not yet learned how to handle it. Facing it yet must be part of the process. It's easy to post blame and credit on others because they don't know their self. It can take years requiring solid therapy and true friends. Now, he is in IMO the most plastic place in the world where my perception is that most of the people now around him have their own agendas and not his best interest at heart. Again, as you point out too much pressure on the teen to fill voids. My children are corner stone to my life but I can not allow them to be my all. They grow up and move on, we are to be the adult for them. All celebs wear a persona, it's hard to know which may be real. I KNOW I'm off on a wild tangent but I do understand the process. My mother went through rehab 5X and eventually lost the battle to alcohol induced dementia. Every relapse was always someone/something elses fault. Or it was the "disease". Loath the day some psyc. major put that crutch in her hand. I've seen it all. He seems to be going through this self discovery, mid life crisis as you will at the same time he is still young in recovery. Precarious time. I hope whatever it is, he figures it out. Even more so, I hope I'm just overly assumptive as I also know from my circles that all addicts are different, but support system is mandatory no matter.
