Is it possible to "admire" someone without "following" them?

Is it possible to "follow" someone without "admiring" them?

Is there a way to check who(if anyone) blocked you?

Yes... You can admire me without clicking on "follow" button on my profile πŸ˜›

I guess your admirers are just ones who "followed" you.

Is that what you are asking?

Yes yes you can also not admire someone but click on "follow" button :p

I got followers who are not listed in admirers, so I was wondering how to do that in theory and also the other way around. I don't "follow" anyone since it drives me crazy(/crazier) and I don't want to risk "following" someone just because I "admire" them.

The third question was just out of curiosity about how it works.

I tried stuff on random users (yes, including you, Ands, hence the misclick), but I couldn't figure it out on my own.

...and I just found out that it's possible to "like" your own threads. Had to try it. πŸ˜„

Think I'm gonna try "liking" this this post to see if that works too. (experimenting-frenzy-mode onπŸ˜„)

*Edit: It worked! πŸ˜„

The only one I've found is the one where you can see who you yourself follow. I found out that people follow me because I get notification messages.

Ah yes and I think "admirer" section lists people that "follow" you πŸ™‚

I'm following you. I'm on your admirer's list. πŸ™‚
You are on my "following" list.

Thanks for your reply! But how then is it possible that I've got notifications that people are following me, but they are not in my "admirer" list?

They probably followed you, notification was sent, then they un-followed you.

I know! That's so sweet!πŸ™‚

Sorry I don't follow you in return - it's just me being weird. I've never "followed" anyone in my life, so at least you're not alone.πŸ™‚

Ah. And "un following" wouldn't show in notifications. Yes, that must be it. Thank you! πŸ™‚
