Appa Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm in college - first year. First semester I didn't really take time out of my day to make friends/join any groups. Just made my first instagram since it's apparently what everyone uses(I go to college in NYC btw). How can I get enough followers in a couple of weeks to become more presentable/look like less of a loner when people ask for my instagram? Apparently I'm a 8-10 to most girls(downloaded the "Monkey" app and spent a couple of days just working on talking to girls, which was easy af might I add). I'm not asocial. I've just never liked putting myself out there, because I grew up very sheltered & my parents' asocial tendencies rubbed off on me(way too much - had friends in elementary, but as soon as high school came around I became a shut-in), but I know I can "DO" it & I want to, hence me making this thread. I'm going to counseling & I'm taking a social anxiety class, which has proven results. ATM I'd like to join groups/make friends, & go to parties, etc. I just don't want to be seen as a loner-no-lifer when I give out my instagram after trying to make friends & have like 12 followers. I get that I can use the "I just made a new account" line but I don't want to. I'd rather make some progression right now and not have to worry about it later. If any of you can understand that, any advice would be much appreciatedu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 So are you supposed to be the avatars sky buffalo... I d k... but you seem ok to me I guess. Sorry here..Let me respond to the OP. 3 minutes ago, Appa said: I'm in college - I'm sorry. I think the PC thing to say is that it is all worth it in the end, but all of the logical and statistical data I've been able to compile since bcoming an adult, and being able to do my own thing has lead me to a different conclusion.. What the fuck is the Monkey App.. Is this what they do in college these days? Anyway this is about instragram followers? IDK Post a picture of your starfish in panorama mode whilst having your best friend punch you in the face? Instagram is lame.. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Do you mean like you want to get like a bunch of random people to follow your account to make it look more fleshed out, or you want to skip to it being fully fleshed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just want to know the quickest way to attain a decent following(like 500+? Idk) that doesn't involve me getting fake followers. I am thinking about getting into photography but I don't have a camera rn. I do have an iPhone XS so I guess I could just start posting pics of scenery and such in NYC. I just wouldn't know how to implement photos of myself as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiemarie90 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Put in a lot of hash tags in your post and people will usually ask for the follow for follow because they all want followers. And if you were really desparate their are websites where you can legitly buy followers but they usually wont care for your content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Sorry... "New user" I don't even plan to use instagram even if I have a real purpose for shit like that in the near future.. I have a colleage that is really into photography that has one, but even though he takes his photography seriously enough to spend thousands on camera equipment he can admit that the instagram platform is full of shit whole heartedly.. He's kind of reinforced my perception actually in a way... I mean if you just want instagram followers the idea I gave you earlier is probably legit.. I don't want tyo see your starfish at all, but anyone and/everyone on instagram probably does. You could even become a meme..YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!! $_$ Edited January 27, 2019 by PhilosipherStoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 So I have to admit upfront that I don't have an Instagram and I'm not sure how the number correlates, but I currently have shy of 600 "friends" on Facebook made up of several different social groups (high school, college, law school, various internship programs and jobs, family, online weirdos, etc.) as I developed since like 2007. Each social group kind of began with the low hanging fruit and grew outwards as the social network matched friends in common. On the Twitter side (which might be more similar? I don't know if Instagram is mutual friending or solo following), it kind of began that way but stalled out at 48 followers because I have no reason to use the account without followers and I have no reason to build followers because I don't use it. Basically to get 500 people to follow your account, they need to see it and be interested in the content. The only surefire shortcut is to know 500 people who say "hey that's Appa, I'll follow them", otherwise you just have to post content for people to look at, and find a way to get people to go to look at the content, and build up followers naturally. But is online follower count a real measure of social strata that college-age folks take seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if follower-count is even that major but I'd at least like to have 500 based on the accounts of people that ik who are pretty active on instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just spend your weekends listening to that crap without an agenda. The other guy will kick your ass for moving in on his legal age biddies.

That_One_Guy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) How bout this: fuck Instagram and what people think of you. Live your life. Eat good, sleep good, fuck good, and if someone thinks you're not cool who gives a fuck? You're gonna die one day, my friend. You need to act like it. For fucks sake you're an 8/10! Fuck this thread! You should be doing whatever the fuck you want RIGHT NOW! Instagram is fucking stupid. Your life is worth so much more than that. Get out there and be a goddamn idiot dude.
