Turned Down on Social Media
Earlier in 2021, I retired from Instagram. Part of this meant my primary hub for image sharing was gone. It also meant people I known only through Instagram may be gone forever. An old friend of mine from High School and college recently dropped me as a friend. Because of my horrid past, I felt like I probably instigated getting dropped by someone. Some, though, simply just move on without you. People you thought were friends of yours and don't do or say anything as to why you get dropped often can depress us. Let's face it- not everyone will be your "BFF" (best friend forever). Even people you thought were loyal friends may ultimately turn on you on a moment's notice.
I felt connecting on social media will help me to try to re-discover old friends of mine from the past. I never had any kind of prom or yearbook to remember old faces. So I am entirely going on memory. Maybe some people will remember me; maybe some others will not. All I do know is that even when people ultimately decide to not want anything to do with me anymore, I still regard them as great people unless I was totally done wrong by them.
Who Turns Down Who?
Anyone from family members, friends, and even your lovers can turn you down for whatever reason(s). Some may not tell you up front. Some others probably feel you shouldn't at all be connected to someone within a certain profile. This means you have to contend with others who have no real desire to add you to their social media. The common mindset is that friends go everywhere and connect in every way. That even includes social media. However, social media can be a different deal altogether as to who is in your circle and who isn't. With this said, anyone can turn down anyone on social media- even including personal relations.What If You Get Rejected on Social Media?
There are a lot of things you can consider if you get turned down by someone on social media:• Try to Reconnect
One old college friend of mine re-admitted me when I tried to reconnect with that person. This person would later say I wasn't at all dropped. It was a sign of relief.
• Wonder if You or That Person Did Something to Get Dropped
You probably did something that caused one of your social media friends to want to drop you. That person may also simply do something to where he/she has nothing to do with you any longer. If you can connect and confess, you may be able to ask for forgiveness. Unless the offense was for damages to life and/or property, your chances of reconciliation are vastly low. You may also try to make sure not to commit the same mistake(s) again between you two.
There is one more possibility that is tough to admit and tough to do, but it's true...
• Simply Move On...
You may simply have to move on. It's sad you lost someone you thought you trusted and was loyal, but you may simply have to try to make new bonds with new people. People from your past are purely that- your past. Look to the future. Seek new memories and find new happiness with new people. That's the sad reality I've had to face knowing I've touched past personalities in my life in a happy way then. Just sad that they no longer matter to me, and that they moved on without me. When one door closes, another one opens.
It may not be your fault entirely that you get dropped on social media. Whatever the case, maintaining your happiness and well-being are important in times like these.
Turned Down on Social Media: Final Thoughts
Social media has its place in meeting people and maintaining relationships with others. When one suffers a disconnect, it can range from any number of situations and be because of any number of causes. If you feel left out by someone you thought was a true friend, you begin to feel depressed knowing you no longer matter in someone's life. You can try anything like trying to reconnect with someone you previously known or try to ask for forgiveness if you felt like you hurt someone. What is also a sad reality to face... is that you may have to simply move on. Try to find happiness and happy memories with newer people or different people. Those from your past will mostly remain that- a part of your past. Look to the future. Hopefully... a brighter future.
