Belief about “Followers” Disclaimer: You may fully disagree with what I’m about to say and may find something offensive. This is entirely my opinion and belief and reflects both my internal dialogue and desire to build and create a community of friends, networking, and authentic connections… Followers should be individuals who at the bare minimum: 1. Make an attempt to introduce themselves 2. Genuinely want to connect in some way 3. Not connect for the purpose of “spying” 4. Create a sense of mutual understanding and respect with discourse and language practice and/or discussed about intentions Holding myself to the same standards these are my minimums that I give for each of the 4, that I expect and hope to receive from my followers too On introducing themselves: at your who you are, your name, and you intention with wanting to connect truthfully and why. On genuinely wanting to connect: going deeper into this, the individual should want to actually connect and not just “add” to their follower count. Not connect for purpose of spying: don’t just add to see what I’m up to, take my ideas, steal my creativity for your own WITHOUT connecting beforehand Mutual understanding and discourse: whether you’re looking to truly deepen your language practice, talk about shared interests, be closer friends, or something else - be honest, loud, and proud about it. These are my expectations from my followers and people I bring into my life. I’m not online to hide I’m online to connect. So let’s connect authentically and grow together. Introverts are only introverts until they meet the right people for them 🙏😊
