What Does DTM Mean On Snapchat?

DTM most commonly stands for “Doing Too Much” or “Do Too Much.” This can mean someone is being overdramatic or sensationalising something. For example, someone might say “I was crying in the club about him, but then I realized I was DTM.” It could also mean someone crossing a line or pushing a boundary. For example, someone could say “You don’t have to agree with me, but don’t insult my appearance, that’s DTM.” In either case, DTM can be a reminder to chill out or calm down and reassess the situation, whether it’s directed at yourself or someone else. Alternatively, it could also have a literal meaning. For example, ‘You can’t keep taking on more projects, you’re DTM.”
