Help me understand how someone was able to "follow me" on instagram...

I have never shared my instagram with anyone.
I don't even use it, just to look at things I'm interested in.

I have a cousin who is on my facebook and is follwing me on instagram...

I have not advertised what my instagram is.

Where is the correlation???

I hate internet
Feels like an invasion of privacy.

I wanted the two to be separate

Simple, instagram suggested you to your cousin because you guys are connected on Facebook. Instagram does that. It basically gives you the list of your Facebook contacts who are also on Instagram. That's how your cousin found you.

@eMortal i guess it's using phone number and facebook. I notice some don't have my number or aren't facebook friends, yet I do know them.
Still don't see how my cousin found me. It is a series of letters and numbers for my username. It has never been my real name. Nor does it have a picture. Still baffled by that.
