RE: TIL: The Heartbreak of Being "UNFOLLOWED" on 😢Steemit!💘
Looking at your follower history, I immediately spotted who you're talking about haha There could be a number of reasons that you were unfollowed. It could be that you're not leaving comment on his posts and just reply to his comments on your posts, or you've been posting stuff that he's not comfortable with, among many other reasons.
You've come to a great conclusion though. Don't stress out over it. Once you get through that initial shock, think about your recent interaction with that person. If you haven't been paying attention to his posts either, then it's a acceptable casualty. However, if you've been actively engaging with each other (i.e. both of you comment on each other's posts every single time), then you've established a relatively close relationship where you're allowed to ask why he's constantly unfollowing you.
Steemit is such an interesting platform, allowing almost complete transparency into everything here.
The reality is that I have been able to communicate my concerns to my follower and have been reassured that all is well. My main concern was to ensure that I had not carelessly and inadvertently offended someone for no good reason.
As the saying goes, "All's well that ends well," and this has ended well. :)
In that regard, sometimes it just can't be helped. We can't please everyone, so we just have to do our best to keep all the loyal ones. Personally, I have a tendency to unfollow people who don't follow me after numerous interactions, that's why I make it a point to only follow who actively engage on my posts. Since I comment back to people who support me, that shouldn't really be a problem.
Here I am discussing unfollows when I couldn't even get people to follow me in the first place hahaha
