In Oct 2024,

‎Anew girl joined my college in my final year. Absolutely stunning — my friends wouldn't stop talking about her either, which made me jealous honestly.

‎I liked her a lot but never talked due to confidence issues and our paths barely crossing. Just corridor eye contact, nothing more.

‎So I ended up following her on an anonymous account of mine, stalking her socials, scrolling her liked reels for hours just to understand her.

‎

‎My College ended in November 2025.

‎ She's from another city — probably never seeing her again.

‎Now, 5 months later, I made a real account with a good looking pfp of mine. Blocked all classmates and most of her classmates — kept only her unblocked.

‎ Followed 3 of her old female friends hoping Instagram suggests my profile to her.

‎But here's the problem — my account has 0 followers, 3 following.

‎ If I follow her private account out of nowhere, I'll look like a creep.

‎

‎I'm considering just following her and DMing her directly myself without waiting for her to follow me through insta suggestions because there's no guarantee it will happen

‎

‎And also college has ended so i am never gonna meet my classmates

‎so what's gonna go wrong even if it leaks...which it wouldn't cuz she's isn't that type of girl i guess.

‎

‎ But last time I told a classmate she looked nice in her pfp — she blocked me.

‎ Completely shattered what little confidence I had.

‎And it made me realize I often make decisions I end up regretting.

‎

‎So... do I follow and DM? Or leave it?

Update:

I followed her but she hasn't accepted even after 12 hours....she privated her acc 2 weeks ago since then her followers are just decreasing or stable not increasing.....

‎

‎Genuinely need real advice ....this shit is fu*king my brain up.....its too.... high cortisol
