I had to repost this because it was in the wrong category.

Why don't people follow me back on Twitter?
I got Twitter a few days ago because most people have twitter now instead of Facebook. A majority of the people I've followed havnt followed me back. I know these people, their people I know from school work that I have talked too & get along with. Isn't it a little rude that they wouldn't follow back considering we know each other? I've followed 20 and only about 10 have followed back. I have 13 tweets so far and I have a profile picture. Why won't people follow me back? It kind of hurts my feelings. I even made a announcement on Facebook to follow me. So I don't see what I'm doing wrong

tweet at them!

but sometimes people on twitter don't like certain people to follow them so they can be able to tweet about the local people and all that. however, if they are comfortable to have locals follow them, and/or they follow locals, you should definitely tweet at them because maybe they just aren't really thinking clearly. make sure to tweet something along the lines of "follow back" lol.

Wow. 2.6 million kids die of starvation each year and you're sad because people won't follow you back on twitter. #firstworldproblems
