How to stop worrying about social media, and people not following you?

I have Aspergers, and have been talking to someone I like as a friend (and also secretly fancy!) on Instagram, and it's been going well. I also followed them on TikTok and liked some of their posts, but they haven't followed me back. I have been really nervous about this, and am scared that our relationship is fake or less somehow because of this. I know that they haven't posted again since I followed them, but then I remembered whenever someone follows me on TikTok I'm notified on the home-screen of my phone, so I got scared and thought "What if they have seen my follow and likes, why haven't they followed me back?". I've been trying to separate the anxiety from myself (like labelling it), as I know it is irrational. Do you guys go through similar anxieties, and how do you deal with it?

  • Calm down, and there's nothing to worry about... I understand you perfectly because I used to be very nervous that my friends did not subscribe to me in response. Later, as it turned out, they didn't notice me. Maybe it was their excuse, and they said so so as not to offend me, but I don't care... But I have more subscribers in tiktok than they do. As soon as I registered on this platform, I immediately posted my funny videos there. And to increase my views, I have acquired subscribers on the platform [removed by Mod], and thus my account began to grow.
