Is there a word for when someone you admire tremendously follows you and you spend a couple of days trying to only post elegantly and eruditely, and then it becomes too difficult so you give up and just go back to shitposting?

Now the spin: Nah, posting elegantly wasn't too difficult. You just figured out this person followed of you because of your posts; shitposting and all.
I don't know the word but it's the equivalent of when the popular girl was nice to me one day and I spent the next couple of days trying to dress super cool but then I ran out of things from the Esprit outlet and had to go back to my dress with the horses on it that my grandma made.
What's worse is when such a person follows you, and even IMs, but then you gradually realize they're really just an impersonator #bskyNoRealVerification (and yes I think there is a 27-syllable German word for this)
I triple checked that this was the real guy. I didn't believe it at first either. He's probably unfollowed me by now, but I'm not going to look to confirm.
well, I *was* feeling good until I realized that 90% of my new followers were straight-up sexbots. I think that hearts are still mostly legit here, but following has gotten...more complex, as bsky has gained critical mass. It's fine.
LOL! When I lived in L.A. I followed the LAFD social Twitter account & they followed back. I sent them a message that my tweets were mostly political rants that may not be of, uh, particular interest & understood if they'd like to unfollow. They wrote back that they like to follow a broad spectrum.

Luckily for me, I’ll never have to worry about people whom I admire following me.
Verb form, garoepmfen.
I *love* this one and vote to introduce it into the German Hall Of Fame of Greatest Words 😆😆😆

Even, and I say this advisedly, even Emma Watson.
Monday.
YMMV

Because we should name more stuff after the guy.
And also because he followed one of my Twitter accts that was def just a shitposting abt SpaceX acct
Honestly, I suspect this happens a nonzero number of times
