Entry 23:
The amount of notifications I'm getting is a little surreal. I kind of feel like stopping the experiment right away at this point.

To deal with the stress(it's not that much stress, I'm sure, it's just that I'm really not good with stress) I'm playing offline card games on my laptop. It really does help. So that's what I'm going to do right now; play card games!

I ended up going on wattpad for a little longer and now I want to do writing that will be published on wattpad.

Entry 24:
Oh god! I'm really going crazy now! Have you ever followed someone, then unfollowed them because they unfollowed you then followed them back because they followed you?? Yeah, me neither...until it happened to me today!

So now we're following each other again, and I decide to apologise to the person for the awkwardness and now I'm waiting for a response...even if they don't (i think it's a girl) I won't be sad right?

I just asked someone a favour through dm! Am I stupid or stupid? They said they liked thinking up scenarios, I saw romance stories in their reading list so I asked if they can give me a scenario for a romance story! Well, that's new for me to do.

I'm still on the track to gain 2K followers within this month.I've already tried out a lot of my theories and now I'm exhausted. At least they worked (sorta)

Just came up with a new investigation 3:

Aim: to investigate whether respect-following is more common than sympathy-following

Hypothesis: Sympathy-following is a more common phenomenon

What is being compared: follower growth in findingnourie account compared to follower growth in @pixiewriting account

Method:
1. Implement the same variables on both accounts equally.
2. Compare before and after follower counts

From now on, I'm going to put an equal time limit that I can stay on each account and then see on which one I get more followers, The independent variable is the starting number of followers. The dependent variable is the growth rate of followers. The constant variables are time spent, techniques of attracting followers used and the way I interact with other people. For the techniques of attracting followers, all the following must be the same:

-I'm talking to the same people
-I'm following the same people
-I'm not pming anyone first(if they pm me about something important, then I of course have to respond)
(I get it, these people are gonna be freaked out)
-I'm voting on the same exact chapters
-I'm adding the exact same books on same named reading lists(or close enough)
-I'm doing one announcement per day
-I'm not commenting on any chapters

I don't know how long this 'second phase' of the experiment will take, but I hope not too long. It sounds bothersome. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the type of account people are inclined towards, someone with more or less followers? The hypothesis is that they are inclined to higher follower accounts because they hold more respect for those kind of accounts.

Something else which is annoying me: I really want to get back into fiction writing.

...I really hate journalling every small detail and following every nice-seeming account! It gets boring.

Straight up, guys, I am NOT a social person! At all! I like texting one person at a time, I like thinking about one person at a time.

I like locking myself in my room.

I HATE talking unless I'm legitimately excited!

Oh well, you may say, it was your choice to do this ludicrous experiment anyways. You may say: straight up, you're the dumbest person in the world.

Yes, straight up I'm the dumbest person in the world! So what? At least I have a proper unique purpose in life! The rest of you are wasting time running families, businesses, countries; having jobs, acing your tests at school, being really awesome---wait a second, lemme think about that sentence...

Anyways, Wattpad is giving me real anxiety! Oh well, all in the name of science...

*note: guys, I ❤️ wattpad I swear. It was just that experiment was pretty stressful 😓*
