If it makes you feel any better, reasons I have unfollowed folks on Twitter have included: -- I disagree with their opinions about Tony Stark -- They post pictures of a totally normal thing that happens to be really triggering to me and only me -- Legit misclick

Not sure it makes me feel better because I genuinely don't feel that upset. Ever since I've moved back into our almost finished house we're rebuilding nothing outside it has upset me.
-
To put things into context since 15 May I haven't been without builders showing up to my house, being sometimes sexist, heavily homophobic about my one neighbour, anti-black racist towards another neighbour, it's exhausting having to shower and change without a wardrobe, etc.
-
Sorry just needed to vent.

-
@twitemp1 always says I should.
Our rebuild was supposed to be finished 15th May. 
-
So yeah, usually I uses to be a little upset. Especially when it was somebody I knew offline too and/or somebody in the same field.

Hi Olivia, I think that people unfollow for a bunch of different reasons. As you know them in real life you could still keep in touch, if you wanted to?
-
I also used to feel sad when I lost followers but I realised that it’s statistically impossible that everyone will be interested in everything I like/tweet/RT as my interests are quite varied. Now I’m actually surprised if people don’t unfollow me!
-
Same on the last part. Though sometimes you still like, want to know what's up with that.
-
Yeah, especially when it's somebody e.g., more senior and in the same field. Yes, it's obviously fine they can totally unfollow me but like... I dunno, seems strange.
-
it is strange. You could always ask them? Bit of an awkward convo though. Sometimes people go through their list of followers and reduce it bc they have too many. They could have clicked on your profile by mistake/had a prob with their account which automatically unfollowed ppl
-
I think it's not correct to attribute it to a mistake when the only type of people who unfollow me that aren't bots or people getting suspended are more senior usually male academics in the same field.
-
Ah OK. Sorry I was speaking more broadly but yes it's important to take that into account.

I feels for you Olivia! It's difficult when you just don't know why. I am very happy for you though about the rebuild coming to conclusion! My goodness you really rough-toughed that out! Wishing you all good times in your new surroundings!



-
Oh, thanks! Still more to go. Probably looking at another month or so!

-
Oh.. I certainly hope it won't be any longer than that!
