    I just tell myself it’s their problem not mine their loss and get on with my day I’m sick and tired of degenerating myself Bc of some stupid bs number it doesn’t define you... you do, just carry on with your day because you’re worth more than their time 💕

      I assume they're jealous or mentally unstable and call it a day. Someone I used to call a friend did that and I told her I would pray for her mental health because she is clearly going thru sth. She was shocked but I was serious. Unfollowing a friend out of nowhere is literally so insane. I can't even fathom😂😋😋

      So true. I have an acquaintance in my University program who I talk to sometimes and partnered with for a couple group assignments. In my year of that program, there are 60 people including me and him. One day, he randomly unfollowed me, but still followed the majority of other people in the program. I don’t understand because we were friendly with each other, and I helped him a couple times, and even partnered with him. That unfollow hurt me for some reason.

      I just assume they have gone bats hit crazy or were envious. It happens. But I think unfollowing people is lame and unkind especially now that there is a mute button. I would be very careful about calling such a person your friend because they intentionally wanted to hurt you.

      Thafahus Am a lot of times this is a bot following then unfollowing, so it’s not even a real person who is unfollowing you, so try not to take it personally if you can. That being said, if you’d like to learn how to take and edit bright photos, I have videos on my channel to help you do that.

    I was just unfollowed by an artist I really admire. They commented on my paintings and my photos for years. I shared one video that I thought was an inspiring quote by a celebrity and they respond: "Really? by THAT person?" I thought we had a civil conversation about why they felt that way but they seemed so quick to be aggressive about it. Then boom. Unfollow. I felt like a penpal ditched me. This video helped a lot. I don't need validation from people who are so quick to react like that...

    If you’re over 30 , we remember times pre social media . It’s odd we can all be pseudo celebrities now, and deal with following or be followed by 100s-1000s of people . I guess I deal with it by telling myself, only those who are contributing tangible things to my life (love, money, in person time,etc) , are the ones I need to be concerned with.

    I just got unfollowed by a close friend.. Feeling hurt but I know it’s not something personal because I didn’t do anything. It had to be personal on their side. Ima ask if we are okay, but at the same time I don’t want to make a big deal.. although I also don’t want to follow if they don’t want to be part of my life.
    The thing I don’t get, is this individual would interact with me in all my post, we had just texted that night.. I really don’t know what happened.

    Unless super close, family members and friends should not follow each other because if unfollowed, will cause hard feelings. If you truly don't care about the person, you won't mind if they let you go. Case in point. My MIL, she doesn't like me, always hot and cold, but I managed to develop what I thought was a good relationship with her at one point. Guess she just felt like going back to square one because I had added her on social media after being hesitant, then eventually she unfollowed me. At 75 years old, still playing games like that, the woman needs help. She kept the rest of the family and made the excuse she doesn't use social media anymore LOL. She gets off on pissing me off, can't stand that I might actually have a life. I unfollowed and blocked her. Guess now she won't be seeing my new house or my upcoming vacation. Apparently I'm not interesting or worthy enough of her attention. Suck to be her I guess....boohoo🤣
