EX WATCHES YOUR INSTAGRAM STORIES? BUT WHY?

Following each other on social networks is the regular thing following a breakup, mainly since everyone needs to feel greedy for someone's love or look like stalkers. But if your ex is still watching your stories on Instagram, what does it mean? This is the most often question that you might ask yourself. It does not depend on whether you have been separating for a while or you have only moved far away; this could mean anything. All my Instagram posts are watched by my ex, "My ex watches all my Instagram stories," They might unintentionally do it, but they generally do it on purpose. Some potential interpretations and answers to this question are given here.


My Ex Views My Stories on Instagram. Because?

There are always plenty of explanations why your ex is monitoring the stories you share on your social networking sites. The further you post, the more easily he sees it. So, what does it mean?


1. Without them, they would like to see if you are pleased.

That may mean that they will be following you anonymously if they are one of the top viewers since the Instagram app lists viewers not by chance, but by the bond you have with other people. If you would not watch their stories at all and they are already one of the biggest audiences on your audience list, they are likely to follow you because they want to know what you have been doing without them.

Perhaps because they just want to feed their vanity, they want you to be very depressed and expect any sad love songs or hidden messages relevant to them. Or maybe they just watch on you and still want to make sure that when they are not there, you are not doing very well, particularly if your separation was not so smooth.


2. They miss you and they want to remind you that they care for you.

Perhaps they are attempting to give you a hint that each day they are worried about you and want to see whether you have learned something different or something like that. They could be waiting for the right opportunity to leap into your DMs or trying to figure out whether you are interested in them. If your friends or your soothing morning rituals post happy stories but nothing relevant to them, they will stalk you even more, because they desperately want to know how you feel. By publishing something that has a certain link to your friends, you will validate this and see how they react to it.


3. They are all curious about you.

When I asked our mutual friends if they knew why my ex watches my Instagram posts, they told me that because he is no longer a part of my life, he probably wanted to see how I am doing. Your ex could do the same. They want to see how exciting your life is and how changed it has been.

Let's be frank, we are all curious about the lives of our exes, aren’t we? Perhaps that we want to see how much effect we have made on the life of others. Your ex may be doing the same thing because they do not care if they seem like they are following you and wanting your attention.


iv. They do so unintentionally.

Unfollowing one another on Instagram is a little juvenile simply because you are not in a relationship. People typically browse through the stories of other people mindlessly because they do not know whose post is next in line. By chance, they may have come across your stories and then casually seen them. If, for instance, when you shared more than two or three, they miss your last stories, or they just see the first story, it means they probably do not want to see them, so they just swipe up. You will try it in one day by sharing more than two or three stories. It could be an incident.

A lot of people leave everyone's Insta stories rolling on while they are bored, and only after their favorite fashion blogger, and then, boom, the story could be looming. They have seen your story. You are going to note that they are concerned, and you probably did that because you are reading this article now to figure out why.


V. They are bored with it.

One of the most used social media applications out there is Instagram, and users devote between one to three hours using it. Perhaps your ex just needs to waste his time by watching the stories of everyone, including yours. There is nothing wrong with that, and you certainly know them well enough to find out whether or not this is real. If they are busy bees, so this may not be the case, so why would not it be if they usually enjoy wasting time on social media?


vi. They want to keep you in a friendly friendship.

Maybe if you want to just be friends after a divorce, they just do not want to look nasty or like they have got some kind of grudge. Even if partnerships after a breakup are pretty rare, and after all dies, people normally absolutely part ways. I do not know if the two of you have agreed to be friends, but if you are not on bad terms, they might want and convince you, "I have nothing against you, whatever happened between us." Sometimes people split up and keep on good terms, but they feel a little bit bitter as if they were wounded by the other person.

Therefore, their viewpoints may be there to tell you that they are not rude to you and that you do not have to think about it. Skipping your tale and unwillingness to see them can mean they are upset, so they want to make sure you are on good terms.


vii. They want to keep their alternatives open.

It does not mean it is the end for all of you simply because you have broken up. It might mean that if your ex is still snooping on your story, they are checking up on you to keep you as a choice for the future.



9. Or they would like to believe that you do as poorly as they do.

If they are crying at home, they want to confirm that you are not out there drinking with your friends and getting along with other people. I suppose they want you to be as unhappy as them.


10. Maybe they are trying to convince you that they miss you.

When they are the first to see your story regularly, they may be trying to tell you something. If they sent a signal, what self-respecting entity will see an ex's Insta story five minutes after it was written. Maybe they will want you back.


11. To search if you are single anyway.

The most painful thing about a break up is watching someone else go on with the one you missed. And you certainly want to be the first one to do so. If they are not going on, they may be searching you out to see if you got there first.


12. It could mean absolutely nothing at all.

"It means absolutely nothing to Elite Daily relationship expert Jen Kirsch said: "Just because an ex watched your Instagram posts, it does not mean he wants you back. I mean, he may, but you will know if he does. He will send you a message to make arrangements to meet, and he will lock you away.

We have all heard our stories from spirits of former exes, and all that says is simply: He's seen our tales. Any further analysis of what it suggests and why is a waste of time now. Anything as basic as your story coming up might justify why he watches it when he has seen another one.

Never be that girl that slides into his DMs to ask, 'Why did you view my Insta story?' No one likes that girl, and it is not a chic look.

"The only time his viewing habits become problematic is when you take them personally, and you change your actions accordingly. For example, if you start going out to things or throwing other boys on your Insta stories just to make him jealous/make him realize he made a mistake ever leaving you… then you are living for someone else and not yourself.


Overview

If your ex watches your Instagram stories all the time, there is a 60-70% risk that he is doing so deliberately. The explanations might differ, and there might be a cause other than these six. Nonetheless, without a doubt, these explanations are the most frequent. Who knows, he may want you back anyway? If he is one of the biggest followers, your Instagram stories seem to like him, and that may mean something.

On the other hand, he might just be lazy, because he looks at everybody's stories often. Maybe he is got nothing else to do. Try to find further hints as to his actions. For starters, if he likes your posts. That might help find the solution for you.
