Is it more hurtful to be Blocked or Ghosted?

I take offense to all the people here saying being a ghost is a bad thing 👻

Neither, people make choices and must do what's best for themselves. It's SW, chances of finding truthful, genuine, loyal people are few, always be prepared and don't take it personally.

that's basically the same deal

They are both very painful when it’s from someone you care a great deal about and/or love.

Being ignored by that person hurts and can make you feel like you don’t matter at all to them and are completely insignificant.
Being blocked hurts and makes you wonder what you did wrong or feels like they want to hide you from the rest of their world because they are ashamed of you.

Neither impacts me at all. All it tells me is someone has signaled they want no more contact. Which I respect.

Instant Messaging has created a culture where people have a lot of expectations and very little room to hide their intent.
If you prioritize one relationship/friendship over an other, the neglected party will know right away.
If you want to take time to think before replying, it can be misinterpreted as an attempt to ´leave them on “read” ‘ just to narcissistically control them.
I hate when they take too long to reply and I have to be one who initiates the contact most of the time.
I ghost them after 4 failed attempts.

Whether blocker or ghoster, blockee or ghostee, whatever it is, most people on social media are totally unaware. It's justified when they do it, but not ok when someone does it to them.

Hadn't heard from my Nephew for years but he was in trouble, no job, eviction, etc and needed to borrow money. I lent him $4500. He seemed appreciative and friendly for a few weeks then he ghosted me. Why pay the money back? That hurt.

Neither bother me. It is what it is.

Being blocked is at least a message of some kind and a clear ending. Being ghosted is much worse.

Ghosted. But whatever they'll get it coming too.

Ghosted, Blocked means you didn't get along with them, Ghosted, you were lead along to believe you got along

Either isn't being kind. I think that on here there's too much blocking going on. My own experience is that one doesn't understand what ghosting really entails either. One can't expect to be doing that on a person's very own posting nor comment

Hard to say. When you’re blocked by someone you like, they’re out of sight so you can eventually stop thinking about them. But if I understand "ghosting" they’re still around, and you see them interacting with others—just not with you. I’d rather be blocked, tbh. 🥺

they are both a form of rejection so both are painful. Ghosted is cowardly. Blocked is usually because of a transgression so I guess ghosting is more painful.

Ghosted

I feel that both mean the same.

I just assume everyone goes their own way inevitably.

Ghosted defo, when you're close to/involved with them.

Neither

Scared of ghosts

Ghosted for sure
