Should I feel upset about colleagues behaviour after following them on insta?

I followed my male colleague on instagram because I have been following a lot of my colleagues recently however he never followed me back, yet he posted stories. As well as this he was off with me in work today.

should I block him, unfollow him or what? I need advice

am i being unreasonable for being upset about this?

How do you know he’s added to his stories OP?

Why does it matter? He's some random chap at work. Why are you following his every word?

To him you are a casual acquaintance who he doesn't think twice about in a day. You on the other hand seem to think you have a connection. You don't, Insta isn't real. Just forget about it. Find something more interesting to do.

I don't know if you've embarrassed yourself by adding him on insta. Are you friends?

But yes, you would probably embarrass yourself by unfollowing / blocking him.

Just leave it alone. Stop watching his stories.

It’s a waste of life to even notice these things OP.

Don't block him or unfollow him, you'll look like a nutter.

You're overthinking it. Just get on with your life and leave him be.

Have I embarrassed myself?
