15 Thoughts We Have After Accidentally Liking A Post Of A Crush
It has happened to everyone. You are stalking someone on social media for whatever reason and all of a sudden, you realized you just accidentally “liked” one of their posts. The worst is when you realize how far back it was. Can you relate to any of these thoughts on accidentally liking a post?
1. “Maybe they won’t notice if I unlike it right now.”
There is no way they would get a notification, right? Even if they did get a notification, if they click on it, all evidence will be erased… hopefully!
2. “Are they even online right now?”
There is a chance the person is not online right now. If they are, they probably saw the notification. If they are not, there is less of a chance that they will freak out.
3. “Liking a post is a compliment, even if it was posted years ago.”
The person should be grateful that I liked the post. It is still awesome, relatable, fun, etc., so there is no reason to be upset.
4. “I’m doomed.”
Okay, maybe it is terrible. The person is going to know that I was looking and I was in way too deep. I need to go hide under a rock for the rest of forever. Goodbye, universe. It has been real.
5. “They do not know my motivation.”
Well, they do not know for a fact that I was stalking them. They have no way to prove my motives, even if I was stalking them. They cannot read my mind.
6. “Should I message them?”
Maybe I should message them and explain what happened. Or should I see if they message me first? I don’t want to make things more awkward, so maybe I should hold off and see what happens.
7. “Don’t panic. It happens.”
These things happen to the best of people. Just stay calm. Take a deep breath. It probably happened to them at one point or another, so they will understand. Or maybe they won’t. Who knows? This is another scenario after accidentally liking a post.
8. “They’ll know I’m creepy.”
It is so obvious that the first thought they will have is that I am a creeper. That post was from 10 weeks ago. 10 days ago would be bad, but weeks? Yeah, this is so bad.
9. “Maybe they’ll actually start talking to me (again, in certain cases).”
It has been a while since we talked. Maybe they will strike up a conversation as to why I liked the post. Maybe they will actually notice me if they see that I liked the post. This is another scenario after accidentally liking a post.
10. “If you don’t want people ‘liking’ stuff, why keep it up anyways?”
Who cares if I liked the post? If they did not want people to read it and react, why was it posted in the first place? I am just adding my approval of the post.
11. “It wasn’t from that long ago.”
Okay, okay. It was only posted five weeks ago. It is not like it was from five months ago like Sophie did to that one guy she was getting to know. I am definitely okay. This is another scenario after accidentally liking a post.
12. “If it is brought up, I’ll just blame it on technology acting up.”
“My Facebook/ Twitter/ Instagram app was going totally berserk and it scrolled way down your feed and I did not look at the date. It has been freezing a lot and not updating. My account was hacked.”
13. “I’ll be more careful next time.”
You’ve heard of a “lead foot,” right” Well, I have a lead thumb. Yes, I was stalking that person, but it’s all my fingers fault. This is another scenario after accidentally liking a post.
14. *Prays to God that the person didn’t notice*
They never check their social media accounts anyways. They probably get so many notifications that even if my mistake did go through, they will not notice. I’m totally okay. Yeah.
15. “Things could be worse.”
These things happen. If this is the most embarrassing thing that happens to me, I’m good. Something much, much worse could have happened to me. The worst thing that could happen here is they don’t like me. This is another scenario after accidentally liking a post.
Which of these accidentally liking a post scenarios have you had? Let us know in the comments below.
