Twitter Musing
So I was fiddling with twitter tonight, looking at someone's timeline - someone I considered a twitter friend, and noticed that they were no longer following me. I'm surprised at the feelings that it has evoked. Because I do believe your twitter account is yours to do with as you please, and one can follow/unfollow whoever. Plus I've always kind of eye-rolled at the tweets whining about un-followers, b/c for one, they can't see it! They aren't following you! So I always thought if it happened to me, it would roll off my back. And now it has, and now it hasn't.
So rational me thinks, well I do tweet a lot, and maybe that was it, it worked this person's nerves. I do sometimes state opinions that aren't popular. That could have been it. I can be a goober and a loudmouth, both for real and online. I am who I am, and not everyone likes me, and that's OK. They don't have to. Rational, mature me knows this.
I just feel bad because I do like this person, don't plan to stop following them and just hope I didn't offend them in some way. It would be good to know why they stopped following and it would be good to know why I care more than I thought I would. Maybe I owe them an apology and thus, I'd like to give it to them.
So yup, twitter musing. It's funny how people you've never met except online (I've only met three people on my feed in person) become people you actually invest in and care about.
p.s. If you are in my feed, and reading this by the way, know that I like you, think you have something to say, and think you say it in an interesting way, and that's why I follow you. <3
