I just lost a friend...

Because of my stupid macho ego.
I deleted said posts. It wasn't worth losing her.
I am sorry and I'll not be so ignorant again 😔

Oh please 🙄 her loss post what you like. Anyone who deletes you / stops being your friend over a post was never a friend

This happened to me once it was very disappointing but eye opening

@DeluxedEdition Best Comment!!

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F

@LoneVoice I mean it in the most truthful and respectful way.

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

I didn't see what happened but I had a few people block me because I posted my guns before 🤷 it is what it is. Not everyone can see past a disagreement I suppose

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F

@ChiefJustWalks people have blocked me before for having a political opinion. To me that’s the highest form of intolerance and ignorance

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@DeluxedEdition I would agree with that. I'm a pretty open person & I can get along with someone even if we disagree on things. Some people act like everybody needs to agree with them though

No. You were blocked by someone who was unaccepting of differences of opinions and beliefs. That isn’t a friend, that’s an acquaintance.

Friends don’t censor each other.

I do not know what happened, but from what i have observed of you, i am assuming it might be related to your lifestyle, maybe about bearing arms. If i am wrong i apologise.

She threw away a friendship because of that, then i would say let it go. You have every right to live your life the way you want, as long as no one is hurt.

Also she has to realize, she cannot mold everyone to her liking. That is selfish, if not narcissistic.

I am sorry if these words hurt you. I tell it as i see it.

I looked at the comments first to gather ideas as to what happened. Politics? She LOST YOU, buddy. Your content is your own to post, so she had the choice to be an adult and scroll on by. I never make political posts, but sometimes make my opinions known elsewhere. If only you could've seen my inbox full of nasty hate filled vulgarity from leftist friends before the blocks came after the "so called" incitement at the Capitol. 😳
The party of acceptance wasn't so accepting, and you know what... they WEREN'T FRIENDS. To hell with those types on either side.... 🗑️

I admire how you've handled this and I'm sorry you're hurting. Give her some time, maybe she'll reach out once emotions have settled down 💜

Montanaman · M

@JaneDoe23 Thank you 😊. Normally, i get really hurt and angry when blocked. But i honestly understand why this time and I'm able to admit when I'm wrong. 🤗

She blocked you over that gun post?

@Montanaman I wanted to add one more thing. I'm a gun guy. I always have been. Lately, however, I've either sold or gave my guns to my dad to be locked up. I've been having serious mental health problems, and I've been a suicide risk. It shocks people to know that I'm a Democrat and also love guns. In a way, maybe I can see why she got upset. Look, I don't think blocking you was right. She should've talked to you about it. But maybe she has a friend or someone who killed themselves, or maybe she struggles with suicidal thoughts. I hope she gives you the chance to talk it out. If it turns out to be a case like I listed above, I would understand cutting back on those posts. I would do it for a friend under those circumstances.

Montanaman · M

@BlackPhillip Exactly my thoughts. 👍🤗 Thank you, and I'm sorry you're in a bad way right now. I sure hope you persevere. 😞🤗🤗🙏😇❤️

BlackPhillip · 36-40, M

@Montanaman Thank you! That means a lot.

ExtremeNext · 31-35

I remember your gun post and wasn't that impressed either but never once thought of deleting or blocking you
You are to nice for that ❤️

Montanaman · M

@ExtremeNext Thank you. It wasn't my best judgment. It's my own business if i enjoy my guns, but i posted for my ego/image. To be real, I don't need to impress nor stir the pot. But i do embrace my beliefs and respect that of other's beliefs. 👍🤗❤️😎

ExtremeNext · 31-35

@Montanaman and you should believe in what you believe but with so many innocent children's lives taken from them, others like myself will also have a strong opinion also

SW-User

I appreciate your care, regret, sensitivity, and desire. We will always have differences, and we have choices in how we decide to deal with differences. I can't say where one should just say no, I can't deal with it anymore, or where *they* should accept, but politics can bring out ugly sides that way and even if we do have differences politically, I think you know I barely bring up, it's for me because I respect you as a friend.

It may be your friendship came to a natural end together, and that's difficult. My heart is out to you. ❤️

LoneVoice

Stop groveling. Hell with her. Fake friends online are a dime a dozen.

DDonde · 31-35, M

@LoneVoice lol begone with ye, foul insect

Grateful4you · M

Some people are just too thin skinned. Sorry this happened.

Montanaman · M

No more political comments from me. No more Right/Left stirring the pot. I value friendships more than that. I'm just gonna 🤗❤️🙏😇 and say, God Bless.

You are cowering to a control freak. @Montanaman

Montanaman · M

@Carissimi maybe. I just liked her as a friend. I'll give it a couple of days. 😔🤗

Carissimi · F

I take back what I said about her because she hasn’t done anything wrong, and I don’t know her. She has every right to block who she likes. That’s her choice. I suppose it’s your willingness to censor yourself, and not express your true values because of someone’s disapproval. But, hey that your choice too. @Montanaman

FrozenWasteland · 61-69, M

With respect, seems to me like an odd notion of "friend".

In my mind, at least, when they find differences, friends discuss things, tolerate things, even argue about things. They don't block people.

masterofyou · 70-79, M

Yeah but was it worth deleting posts is she coming back to you, is she still your friend???

Montanaman · M

@masterofyou i really don't know. 🤔😔🤗

LunarOrbit · 56-60, M

Sorry bud. You seem to be a good guy. Hope she sees it as well

Montanaman · M

@LunarOrbit thank you. I really try 🤗

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

Reading the comments, you have a right to post what you want
If the person lost someone to gun violence, perhaps that could be a reason?
Personally, just posting gun pics seems like an odd reason to block.
When my friends post stuff that I don't agree with I just scroll on by. Some expections for extreme behavior.

Quoththeraven

Sometimes you got to be like Elsa and just let it go.

Whyme · 46-50, M

Did ya whisper “montana”

496sbc · 36-40, M

Montanaman · M

You have to be who you are, my friend. 🤗 It’s hard right now for some to love around all the polarization, but we have to be our authentic selves and try wherever we can. ❤️

Vivaci

Awww….I know it won’t take your hurt away, but HUGS. 🤗🤗🤗🥺

Iwillwait · M

Sorry for your loss. 🤗

Chickie · F

What happened?

Montanaman · M

@Chickie i wanted to show off my gun collection. It upset her.that simple.

Chickie · F

@Montanaman smh

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

Sorry to hear that. If she was so quick to block you for that then it wasn’t a real friendship.

SW-User

In my opinion, someone like that isnt worth your time or your feelings.
