I was looking for a long time not seen user, and I came across “Follow Yourself”. Why do I need to follow myself? It never occured to me to follow myself. What happens exactly when you follow yourself?

You should just try it. Ben and Andrew put the option there for a reason.
Probably get some tin pot narcissism award or some such trinket.
I don’t see that option on My Account.
The brown on your nose would be yours and not somebody else’s.
It’s hilarious! Try thanking yourself too. :D
Oh that link is so painful.
Maybe the mansion should have a cemetery. It would prevent uncomfortable moments when someone has been away and asks about another jelly. It could be an account opened just to use the profile area to list members who have passed.
I have meant to suggest it before, but forgot. That page reminded me. There have been so many. I think it should be posted by the founders.
Anybody?
If anyone has tried it, please report what happened.
Can’t you just try yourself?
Are you wary of what’s going to happen?
…Have you tried it? If not is it because you’re wary too?
I did it.
I’m still alive, as is my computer.
Can’t remember what ‘they’ said, it is years ago.
Was something humorous I’m sure.
Don’t be the last girl in the pool, JUMP!
What happened when you tried if you did? And what’s wrong with being the last one?
Where is the link to click on?
Above some one said you can’t do it from your account. You have to do it from the account of someone who follows you. I think I follow you.
One positive is you get to watch your cute little arse, assuming of course you possess such a thing.
Yes, I have tried it and I survived.
What’s wrong with being the last in the pool? For one thing, fear has a scent,and that scent attracts bullies. You don’t want to smell like fear, do you?
Here’s another reason, suppose there is some great reward. Do you want newbies in on that before you?
@flo No. Its ok. I’ll let this one go.
Oops @Patty_Melt You did try it, “Yes, I have tried it and I survived.” But you don’t say what happened. I mean people survive all kinds of things, dog mauling, .... cancer… What did you survive?
Geez. You get sent to the Wikipedia page that discusses narcissism. But now that I had to explain the joke it’s not funny any more.
You’re scared of a Wikipedia page?
Above they said you have to go to the account of someonenwho is following you and find yourself on their account and do it from there. I tried to follow you so you could use my account but it acted like it it wouldn’t take.
@Dutchess_lll I didn’t see how to thank yourself, but I did the other. Cute, real cute.
I don’t see it now either. But it used to be there.
Dang it! I had it back…the “thank yourself” option. It was on the lunch thread. But now I can’t find it. Try changing your phone setting to desktop….
You can only thank people who have answered a question that you have asked. So if you want to thank yourself, you need to post an answer to one of your own questions. Warning: it’s a similar joke (but there’s a little more to it first).
OIC! @KNOWITALL…you have to answer one of your own questions to see it.
