Seven very real things that happen when stalking on Instagram
There’s no point in denying it because that fact is, if you have an Instagram account, you’ve more than likely stalked someone on it.
Whether it was an ex, or your ex’s new woman, or even your brothers’s, friend's, cousin (we’ve all somehow been there), here are very real and scary things that happen when stalking on IG:
Suddenly being really conscious of the size of your fingers.
What if they're so big you accidentally follow your brother’s ex girlfriend from 2012?! You're just trying to click the link in her bio to her new blog! You don't want to start a war!
Having paralysing anxiety over your recent searches.
You don't let anyone touch your phone for fear that they'll see your recent hashtag searches or people you're stalking, and think you're weird (even though you really are).
When you accidentally like a photo from two years ago
A rush of fear sets over you as you try to figure out what to do next. Big mistake. Abort mission, I repeat, abort mission. You never wanted to see your boyf’s first IG photo anyway.
Knowing way too much about your crush's family
You know his sister won her camogie match last week and his mam has decided to plant a vegetable patch out their back garden. You’ll be totally in with the fam by the time he asks you out.
Trying to show your friend a picture but afraid she’ll double-tap
There’s some juicy gossip on IG (yes!)… only for your friend to go and double-tap the photo so now everybody knows you’re stalking.
Taking screenshots of everything
If there are more screenshots in your photo album than there are pictures of your cat, we think you might have a problem.
