I know you're being friendly and I appreciate it but both of us are different people and we've our own life experiences and because of these different life experiences, we think differently about certain things. That's why I didn't follow the said user because I felt like I'm being creepy following someone out of nowhere. I know 'Follow' feature is here for a purpose but we are so used to those privacy features we get on other sites. Sadly nothing is Private on Steemit except our Private keys....lol

Hopefully with time I'll be more open to follow new users on Steemit without giving any second thoughts.
