5 Hurtful Words: Being Unfollowed On Twitter Hurts!

She's wants a tweesome

Nothing hurts more than rejection. Especially the one on Twitter. Realizing you've been unfollowed. It's usually because being followed feels great.

People's hearts beat faster when they get on Twitter for the first time that day and notice 3 more people have followed them. It's such an adrenalin rush. This is what bungee-jumping must feel like. Or a date with Jessica Biel must feel like. A date with Jessica Biel dressed in a Twitter outfit. Imagine Jessica Biel in a Twitter outfit? Think Catwoman costume but in light-blue. Then tweet each other after the date. Invite Justin Timberlake to join the discussion too. It's called a tweesome.

Reasons Why Getting Unfollowed On Twitter Hurts

1. Unawareness - When you're unfollowed on Twitter, you're forced to live with the heavy burden of obliviousness. The unknown. The unawareness. There's no closure. No reason. No goodbye. Just raw pain.
2. Awareness - When your love-interest suddenly unfollows you, you know exactly what went wrong. There's only two ways to deal with this - apologize or cry. Doing both simultaneously is usually the most effective.
3. Stats - The unwritten rule on Twitter is that your 'Followers' compared to people you're 'Following' should be at a respectable ratio of 2:1. Every person that unfollows you brings your stats closer to one of a spambot.
4. Reality - We all live in a fantasy in which our tweets are awesome. A fantasy where our tweets are brilliant. Then we realize half of our followers are bots. The other half don't even log into Twitter anymore.
5. Unfair - When unfollowed, they usually block you too. It's unfair as you can't tweet them repeatedly anymore for an explanation demanding solid evidence regarding the indecent that led them to unfollow you. So unfair.
