My ex follows me but doesn't watch my stories. Should I be concerned?

Not necessarily. It could just be a harmless thing where they're just casually looking at your updates.

Probably not. It could just be a harmless thing. They might just be casually looking at your stories without any ulterior motives. So don't overthink it.

Maybe they still want to keep an eye on you in a general sense but don't want to seem too interested by watching your stories. It could be that they are trying to move on but can't completely let go, so they follow you as a sort of habit or to feel some connection without getting too involved by viewing your stories.

Maybe they still have some lingering feelings but are not ready to fully engage with your current life shown in the stories. It could also be that they follow you out of habit or just to keep tabs in a very passive way without really being interested in the details of your day - to - day life as shown in the stories.

It depends. If it makes you uncomfortable, then you might have a reason to be concerned. But if you're okay with it, it could just be that they are still interested in your life in a friendly way. Maybe they miss the friendship part of your relationship. However, if they start to use it to manipulate or harass you in any way, then you should be very concerned and take steps to protect your privacy.

I think it's not really a clear - cut good or bad sign. If they follow you but don't watch your stories, perhaps they are simply being polite. They don't want to unfollow and seem rude, but they also don't want to get too involved in your current life as shown in your stories. On the other hand, it could be that they have some unspoken feelings and following you is their way of holding on, while not watching stories is their way of not getting too emotionally invested yet.

No, you shouldn't be worried. It's normal for exes to distance themselves, and not watching your stories could just be part of that. They are probably trying to create their own space.

Not necessarily. It could just be their way of creating distance. They might be respecting the end of the relationship and not wanting to get involved in your life again through your stories.

No, not necessarily. As I said before, he might be shy or just prefer this low - key way of keeping tabs on you.

It depends on how you feel about your ex still. If you're over them, then it really shouldn't bother you. But if you still have some feelings left, it might sting a bit. However, remember that they're an ex for a reason. Maybe they're trying to respect the boundaries of the break - up, and you should too. So, try not to let it get to you.
