Has anyone ever done this? · 10:26pm Jul 26th, 2016
Following someone that you didn't mean to follow because you accidentally hit that follow option? And then you feel like an ass for unfollowing them, knowing that they probably got a notification that you're watching them because you didn't mean/want to follow them in the first place? And sometimes you've been following them for a while but you've just been putting off unfollowing them for the longest time? And vice versa?
I have, on occasion. I just feel like a little bit of an ass.
Once.... And I hope to all the gods of gods that it doesn't happen again. Getting a message from the user and it very sad, makes me feel like dictator of Dicks, but if you don't answer them, they'll go away.
*Gets flashback of that horrible moment, shaking uncontrollably*
Yes, but I don't let it bother me too much.
Accidents happen... but yeah, I get what you mean.

I think it happened to me... twice. And the first person didn't comment on it, and I was talking to the last guy I did it to I apologized profusely to him, saying that I was sure he was a nice person to follow, and he was pretty chill with it. The occasional twitch and the fact that the follow button is right next to the mail button (you know, when you hover over someone's name if you're on a computer) and having a highish DPI isn't a good combination at times. Yeah, I learned my lesson after the second time.

Yeah, from what I've seen, you're just an amazingly chill dude. Possibly more so than I am. Now, are you saying this has happened to you, or vice versa? Or both.

Yeah. Honestly, I've set higher standards for myself. Just because I think someone's story is amazing, should not be grounds enough for me to follow them. I'll follow someone because I like them. Because I've had conversations with them and gotten to know them, even if it's to a certain extent.
Someone is more likely to lose a follow if they mysteriously disappear for more than two weeks, if I followed them just because I thought they were cool. But if I got to know someone better, I'd be more than willing to consider following them, or following them again if I had previously followed them.
4115783 Both. Using FimFiction on a touch screen phone sucks, especially when the phone freezes and you accidentally click on the follow button when trying to school down to the story.

I bet.
"Now let's just scroll down here and-" *hit the wrong the thing* "God fucking damn it! Not again!"
4115783 Exactly. I used to follow people because they followed me. But over time, I realized that of 150, I only really knew or spoke to about 20. If I follow someone, it's because I find them interesting, whether it's from their bio or from actual conversation.

Well, at least I can believe that I'm somewhat interesting then.
