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

I found people following me on Instagram even though I wasn't using it. I was really surprised. My son explained to me that I could change my settings so people would have to ask to follow me. I figured out how to do that and now I turn everyone down except close friends. I asked my son, why do strangers want to follow me? He explained that they were probably hoping that I, in turn, would want to follow them. People who are trying to use their Instagram accounts for commercial purposes benefit by being able to boast of more followers.
