they make you uncomfortable

they interact with someone you’re uncomfortable with

you’ve lost interest in their content

you want to.

reasons it’s okay to try and guilt people for unfollowing you:

there are none.

nobody has to follow you,   they can stop at any point if that will make them more comfortable or their hobby more enjoyable.   people do not owe you continuing to follow your blog or an explanation if they choose to stop for whatever personal reason they may have  (especially if you’re only passing acquaintances but even if you’re friends).   i could be sad and confused about someone unfollowing / soft-blocking me,   and that doesn’t mean they’ve done anything wrong or owe me a reason to justify their choice.   you’re never obliged to interact with me,  and it would never be okay for me to coerce you into it.   as a community we preach self care and treating people with respect but then try to interfere with or punish people for taking care of themselves.
