How's that for fear of rejection!? I do think some people just choose to follow you and then their interests changed. When I first started reading blogs (but not writing) I read every scrapbooking blog I could find, now I NEVER do! I mean, never. I still love to scrap but I don't care what those people are doing, no offense to them. I much prefer my mom blog "friends" and of course Us Weekly news but that's ok, right?!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847539536518547588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-27736048016741734062012-03-12T13:50:16.849-04:002012-03-12T13:50:16.849-04:00I'm going to have to check out this Google rea...I'm going to have to check out this Google reader thing.

I can guarantee that over half of my followers never even read my blog, some people join your site so you will join theirs in return. It really means nothing. So keep on enjoying blogging and don't be discouraged :)Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01556700608666234329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-7354566374614914532012-03-10T00:05:41.221-05:002012-03-10T00:05:41.221-05:00I like the follow thing because then it automatica...I like the follow thing because then it automatically loads into my Google reader. Easy for me to add feeds. So I added it to my blog and have no idea how many followers I have, I just figured it makes it easier for some. But that's me.<br />But if it become a stressful thing then I say let it go. You know yourself best and should surround yourself with things that lift you up (IMO).Mrs. Small Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02682127260608971252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-81236374812162255742012-03-09T17:20:08.576-05:002012-03-09T17:20:08.576-05:00I understand your pain.

I try not to care because it's not about the numbers but unfortunately some days are harder than others to keep this perspective. <br /><br />I follow you through my Google Reader so you might not statistically see me but I'm there! I'm sure you have lots of followers that way. :)Beckyhttp://ministrytomotherhood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-12711796395803526262012-03-09T14:24:16.919-05:002012-03-09T14:24:16.919-05:00Hi Tammy!

You have no idea how much better that makes me feel. :) And, I guess I'm behind the times here because I haven't heard about these possible upcoming changes.

Actually, I've had the same experience you described when someone I know starts talking to me about something I know I didn't tell them about....completely forgetting that it's out there for the world to see on my blog. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772596888093079960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-4093368506943411572012-03-08T23:30:08.735-05:002012-03-08T23:30:08.735-05:00I "unfollowed" a ton of blogs, but subsc...I "unfollowed" a ton of blogs, but subscribed to them via Google Reader because I didn't want to lose anyone if and when Google decides to do away with GFC for Blogger blogs, too.

Sometimes we lose people. And sometimes I try to lose people but they still show up in my feeds. Followers is going away very shortly so maybe that will help? But I have been surprised lately by the amount of people I know in real life that say "yes we all ready know that we do read your blog" Wow that always means more to me than follower. These people never comment or follow me but they still read and I bet there are a lot of those lurking around your blog too.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409363513329416076noreply@blogger.com
