You don't need to tell me how you feel when your payout is due because I feel the same way, what you may tell me is how it feels to see your post accumulated over $1000 reward because am yet to be in such mood.

You don't need to tell me how you feel when you sight more followers added to you because I also feels the same, what you may tell me is how it feels to have above 1000 supportive followers.

The problem is not the number of followers rather the big question is; WHO ARE THEY??

Every body might not be too lucky like me with good followers because what determine the type of people following you is how you got them in the first place. 

How could I easily forget my grandpa's advice who said to me,"son never marry out of pity but marry because you found desired value in her"
Many of us especially minnows possessed this attitude of begging  people to follow them, and the side effect is that you're obliged to follow them back, that's not how it works, you need to at least develope likeness to my personality before you can follow me in steemit, you may ask me how;
its simple, you got to know people by their dispositions, by their reputations and posts.

Inasmuch as engineering and medicine are great professions, it is nearly impossible for a doctor and a mechanical engineer to share the same office and tools; this is how it look like when you are followed by wrong people in steemit because there must be conflicts of interest always, after taking time to write a beautiful and educative post, you got biased to see that no one cares. Are they really not caring? No they care but only to those things they are interested in.

I am also from minnow's family yet I found it difficult following people that asked me to follow them, I prefer following people that I delight in what they're doing or what they post, people of like mind, people that can help me grow in my area of discipline. I always get sober seeing someone who is ahead of me knowledge, and I always tried to make them friends so that I can learn from them.

This is how steemit should work better, because those ones you asked to follow might not even care to follow you indeed because following someone is not just adding to the number, but finding value in someone's life, posts, commitments, ideas, etc in steemit, and having that feeling and need to support him/her always, I believe that's what it means to follow someone.

It always feels better having followers who followed you naturally because they like what you're up to and they are there to support you.
Good friends will always help and support.

TAKE IT TO THE BANK! I'VE NEVER ASKED ANYONE TO FOLLOW ME ON STEEMIT, I BELIEVE IN TIME.

I know that what I just said might push you to look again to my profile to check the number of my friends and followers, yes you are free but am telling you that what ever number you see there came to me naturally because of whom I am to them, am just three weeks here in steemit. I love you all.
