The above was meant for you.

Followers & Following

So for example:

it seems like the general etiquette is to follow whoever follows you. Kind of like a "thank you" note or an "i see you"

For others, it makes it easier to hear the latest fr someone who might have something that is of interest, but it may or may not indicate wanting to have a reciprocal exchange or conversation.

How do you see it? What's your experience? What's your preference?

Other things

I.. Uh....... Sure. 😯 I don't mind sharing and I'd love to hear what you wanna say. 😊

..But are we talking about the same thing now? 😦 I thought you were referring to my post with "Fede's story" and "Raven's story", because you asked if I still wanted you to share.

What did you mean by other things then?

Whatever it is, I'm sure I'd love to hear it so please don't let my confusion stop you from saying it. I'm even more curious now!

Setting aside some time

Ooh, I'm excited! I can't wait to see what you'll say once you do ❤💖❤💖❤

Gonna type this directly in gray (I'm on my phone) so expect typos! Sorry

ollowers and following

It really depends on the site for me, but here I usually see it as a "oh, so you wanna know me, you admire me or you wanna support me! I'll follow back so you know I feel the same way" between members. As for listeners, instead of immediately messaging them, I usually follow them (especially when I like their posts and think they're nice) to avoid bothering them, then wait, and if they follow back I see it as a "I see you and you seem ok, you can message me". And so I message them. Or sometimes they message me right away when they see I follow them.
