Ok, help me out here Twitter Moms 
Why on earth do you worry about people un-following you on Twitter?
I’m genuinely perplexed by this.
Does it hurt your feelings?
Please don’t let it! Twitter is a social engine. Consider someone following or un-following you akin to people at a big party who walk up to chat or eavesdrop for awhile and then wander off to check out other conversations.
I have never concerned myself with someone’s decision to stop paying attention to me. If I am interesting to them, they will follow me. If I’m not interesting – or if I’m just plain annoying to them, they move on.
The only people who matter are those who still follow me. I don’t watch to see if my follow numbers shrink and I certainly don’t go try to figure out who dropped me.
Do you feel rejected?
If you think of being followed on Twitter as a commitment and an un-follow as some sort of break up, you’re naturally going to feel a little rejected by it.
I encourage you to accept that you’re going to be followed by the most relevant people with the nearest interests and that this group will always be fairly liquid. Enjoy them while they hang around and don’t sweat it when they move on.

Well said, Kelly. I just Tweeted to you (and then unfollowed you…ha ha…just kidding) that I don’t look who unfollows. I have no desire to know because it could be any of number of reasons and you’ll never know.
I see people commenting on who’s unfollowed them and they assume it’s due to a particular tweet, but it’s all speculation.
Just tweet and be merry!
I don’t worry about who unfollows me, nor make a scene. Usually it is someone not returning my follow in the first place.
I have dropped some who don’t follow me.
Why? Because they were asking a question, I knew the answer, took time to write it up or send a link, then found out that person wasn’t following me and I could not send them the answer.
Waste of time on my part, and I simply deleted them from comments at the time. Others pick up comments about themselves whether we follow them or not.
Some people just take things to personal. They need to get over themselves.

I don’t really care who un-follows me to be honest. I look at it either we don’t have anything in common, we don’t “mesh” well or I said/did/wrote something that don’t identify with.
It’s ok and I don’t take it personally and neither should all of you.
After all its just Twitter : )

I never even thought about who/when/why/if someone has unfollowed me or not. I have unfollowed tweeters when I didn’t think I was getting anything out of their tweets (mostly MLM types). I have a little over 200 followers now and growing, but my feeling wont be hurt if I notice my numbers going down.

I usually just shrug it off and figure they have their reasons.
The only thing that’s bugging me about it now is that Twitter just removed someone from my following list! There’s no way I would’ve unfollowed this person so its obviously some kind of glitch. And she asked me why I stopped following her because I’m sure she was shocked that I would. So in a situation like that, I can see why someone would be concerned.
There are a few people that I would be a little bummed over but for the most part, not so much.

Heidi…you can send them a message @ – most accounts are likely set up to see that message.
Sometimes not following back is an oversight and if you @ them, there’s a reason for them to take notice and follow you.
I don’t even know who follows me or doesn’t follow me. I couldn’t tell you how many followers I have on Twitter without checking. I guess I can’t be bothered keeping up. LOL

That depends. If someone just starts follow me out of the blue one day and unfollows me another, I wouldn’t care. If it was someone that I’ve been talking to for a while (usually also in other ways other than Twitter), I’ll wonder why.
Then again, this is based on the assumption that I actually know who unfollowed me. I don’t really check that stuff. Besides, I know glitches do happen. I’m a programmer. I should know better.
The only time I was concerned about who unfollowed me was when I got notification from whom I thought was a very good eBay friend that she dropped me. The Twitter drop was the only clue as to the end of our association, and not even the courtesy of an email as to why. Sort of like a text-message kiss-off, welcome to the 21-st Century.
I’ve often wondered this myself as I see conversations focused around unfollowing and making sure they unfollow right away. I can’t be bothered.
great post. stumbled it for you.

It’s funny I got this notice, just as I logged into twitter and noticed someone unfollowed me.
It doesn’t bother me because I unfollow people at times too
BTW, Great post.
I also stumbled, great post.
I think the whole follow/unfollow because they follow/unfollow me defeats the purpose of Twitter. It is about connecting with people. Sure I love it when someone follows me, but it doesn’t break my heart to have someone unfollow me.

I don’t really care who or why I was un-followed…when my numbers look funny I want to know if it’s because I was un-followed, or for whatever reason.
