I know that guy doesn’t follow me
because I’m not stalker worthy, but I’d like to point one thing out: the so-called twitter elite are popular because, well, they’re funny.
I know, it’s a tough thing to swallow, but they’re probably funnier than you too. They’re funnier than me, and/or much more likable. I came to terms with this awhile ago. Yeah, sometimes I used to wonder why some people had so many followers, but then day after day, month after month, they proved why people follow them and rarely hit the unfollow button—they deliver a chuckle consistently.
I get that people want to be appreciated. Hell, I do. I’d love to make the world laugh, have a publishing company approach me, or somehow get validation for my ever shrinking ego, but that’s not happening…and that’s okay. It should be okay for you too. When someone doesn’t follow you back, it’s probably not a judgement on your worth. It could be though—you seem like an fairly fragile person. That might come through in your tweets. Who wants to follow that crap? Anyway, they probably didn’t even check out your timeline. Imagine checking out the timelines of 10,000 people (or a half million!?)? Boring.
Anyway, find peace with your inadequacies. Stop moaning in the next room, some of us are trying to look at titty pictures.
