How do you feel when someone stops following you on social media?

[Justneedtokno]

I don’t know why I feel some type away because I did not grow up in the social media world. But slowly added it to my life.

So I don’t understand why does it bother me if they do or do not.

I have their number and I was talking to them regularly so I don’t really understand

So I directly asked him he deleted his account. You were right it was something going on with him. But I still bothered me

[AmandaYVR]

It's a digital rejection. Makes perfect sense. We're all human.
Just try and not get too caught up, in your mind, by the numbers. It's also human to look at and notice numbers, but ultimately what matters is relationships, bonds.

Your case seems to fall into the latter, so I can understand you feel sad or whatever the feeling is. Maybe they are upset. Maybe it's justified, maybe it is not.
I'd encourage you to try and find out. ?

[Cherry234]

It depends on who the person is. If I'm friends with that person or I really like that person (in a romantic way) then I would be upset. This applies to this site also

[Justneedtokno]

Yes we talk on both social media and texting message. So I don’t get

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I usually don't think much of it. It is usually people I haven't seen or talked to in years and was never more than acquaintances with, so I figure they're just cleaning up their friends list.

I would find it odd if it was someone I was still in regular contact with on a friendly basis, and there hadn't been any issues between us. I've found that most of the time when this happens to people, it's typically a personal issue with the one who unfollowed. Someone did this to me once (as well as the rest of their friends besides their immediate family) because one person saw something they posted and relayed it to their ex, and they freaked out and deleted almost everyone on their friends list. They added everyone back like two days later. 🤣

I've also found an account of someone I used to enjoy talking to, but had lost contact with, proceeded to add them and send a message trying to catch up, and was subsequently blocked. There had never been any issues that I knew of between us, but I just chalked it up to a personal issue of some sort.

I think in most cases, it is usually nothing personal or anything you did if there have never been any issues between the two of you. It's typically either them unfollowing people they are no longer in regular contact with, or some sort of personal issue they're dealing with. Sometimes it is just their personality, too, as I had a friend suddenly quit responding to my texts and unfriend me, only to find out there were several other friends of hers she did the exact same thing to. Sometimes people are weird and have weird reasons for doing certain things!

So, I try to not let it bother me and just move on. Even if it is someone I like and am close to and they are too immature to discuss any issues they have with me like an adult, that's ultimately on them. Yes, it stings when people reject or ditch you, but in many cases that's the trash taking itself out, and is ultimately for the best.

[Justneedtokno]

Thank this is really great. It helps truly. I was questioning myself in the whole thing was specially because I’m just Like I just talk to you yesterday so it was just weird. They responded to text but I just don’t get it I guess I shouldn’t even feel some type away about it but it just seem very odd

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I'm glad I could help! Sorry you are going through that, it is definitely confusing and can even be hurtful.

[Justneedtokno]

Yeah it is slightly hurtful. I have to understand that it’s life

[aWes0MeNeSs]

Yeah, it's unfortunate. :( If it somehow does lead to this person distancing themselves from you, just remember that it is their problem and ultimately their loss, and it will likely work out for the best in the long run, even if it hurts now.

[Justneedtokno]

Yeah thanks I just I think that I am a lot. And I thought it was a form of communication that they preferred. Even though I do have their phone number

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I can definitely understand that! Per your update though, it looks like things worked out okay and it was just a deleted account, which is great!

[dustybiker]

Someone has to be a convincing type of stalker to be accepted in the first place. I’ll pull the plug on some. If they abandon ship they were probably lucky.

[Justneedtokno]

Lol what

[dustybiker]

Just rambling silliness. I hadn’t had tea yet (at the time) i blame caffeine deprivation.. though it doesn’t really sound like it’s helped much. lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It bothers me and sometimes even block me and it hurts cause I treat all people with respect and never a rude person, never a creep, all we can do is move on

[ArrowheadSW]

Yeah that is confusing. Especially since you say that you were talking to them a lot on the phone.

I do have some friends who had friends stop following them because they posted too much political stuff. Other than that, who knows.

[Justneedtokno]

I would ask but I don’t want to seem too weirded out by the situation. Then I text him he answered so I’m just like what was the purpose. Maybe they don’t like seeing me all the time

[ArrowheadSW]

Now that I think of it, the other thing is, if the person posts stuff like multiple times a day. It can get tiring seeing stuff posted by the same person all the time. Do you post a lot on social media? Anyway I can see why it would be upsetting to be unfollowed by a friend.

[Justneedtokno]

No not really I really just post on one platform and then after a while I take a break. It’s homecoming week so I’ve been posting stuff about that

[Justneedtokno]

I also think maybe he doesn’t wanna be my friend and I have to be OK with that

[ArrowheadSW]

People can be confusing sometimes!!

[ODC2112]

There are people who follow me like cockroaches sucking information. There are people who follow me interacting with me. When the first ones leave I feel relieved. When the latter go away, if I'm not pissed off at them, I'm disappointed, but it happens very rarely.

[JosyJosy]

I couldn't care less XD follow me, not follow me, my life goes on.

[andreasderjuengere]

I could not even say WHO ''follows'' me.
I also can't see any practical benefit from doing so. The few people who are closest to me are my 'friends' no matter if they ''follow'' or not.

[DaveToo]

I never know if someone stops following me on here. Besides, if they do then they do and there's nothing I can do about it.

[Shamiah02]

I usually don't notice. Very rare i check them, and i get more followers than i unfollowers so it never seems like i lose any

[Wiredone]

I've had a few people stop following me. Life goes on.

[JCrockett]

Thank God. Every excuse to cut social media out of my life is an unmitigated good.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Not on social media other than here, and it wouldn't matter if people unfollow or block...

[najekim]

Don't really care about social media. GaG is about the only thing I post on and the rest I ignore anyways..

[Iron_Man]

That’s mostly a stranger if it was family that would be bad

[Anonymous]

You're 27 years old crying over who follows abd who unfollows you. Grow up and work on your self esteem. You're way too old to be acting like this

[Justneedtokno]

Ok whoa ma’am you can’t tell me how to feel. Again I had felt some type of way. Not that it stop me from living. You misinterpret my thoughts on the subject. Did you read ma’am. Why are you so angry hun

[Wise4myage]

Unless I was close to a person, than it wouldn't bother me.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Don't give a flip. All of you suckas can block me and I won't give a rip.

[Snakeyes7]

I don't notice because social media is the last thing I have to worry about.

[spartan55]

So unimportant. Couldn't care less.

[Sofargone93]

Like they did me a favor.

[Andres77]

Are they even real?
Don't let it bother you.

[Alyssa11]

I don’t really care lol

[Belgie]

Doesn't bother me, I doubt if I'd even notice.

[NathanDavis]

don't know, never had social medias

[ChiPaPa]

Not much of anything, anymore.

[roy_ricky09]

I dont give a shit!!!

[888theGreat]

I have 5000 on FB , how would I know?

[krin_m]

I don't care one way or the other.

[BCRanger10]

I don't.

[glevum1]

I usually don't notice.

[Gwenhwyfar]

It rarely bothers me

[msc545]

[In_Trance]
