blade function so user wont follow itself in laravel

I'm trying to allow a user to follow a user, but i don't want the user to follow itself.

I'm using laravel follow, which allows you to follow a user. However, i can follow myself easily and i don't want that. I want it set where you wont be able to follow yourself, this is what i have so far.

Profile.blade.php

<!-- maybe there should be a blade function that can hide the following below so a user wont be able to follow itself. -->
<div>
    <i ng-click="myfollow({{$user}});" class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus">Follow</i>
</div>

UserController.php

public function my_follow(Request $request, $id)
{
    $user = auth()->user();

    if(User::find($id)){

        $user->toggleFollow(User::find($id));
    }

}

Main.js

$scope.myfollow = function(user) {
    $http.post('/user/follow/'+ user.id).then(function(result) {
        console.log("user id is:"+ user.id);
    });
};

You can get the id of the current user, by doing auth()->user()->id. So just add a check to make sure it's not the same as the ID you're trying to follow:

public function my_follow(Request $request, $id)
{
    $user = auth()->user();

    if($user->id != $id && $otherUser = User::find($id)){

        $user->toggleFollow($otherUser);
    }

}
