no, that would mean they clearly have no intention of wanting you in their life anymore so i would leave it be
LyricalOne · F
@GeorgeE16 Yeah, guess that’s the bottom line.

LyricalOne · F
@JustGoneNow No curiosity?
@LyricalOne Once I make a break, it’s a very permanent thing. Blocking me is a pretty big deal if I was close with them.
No I’d probably start working on ways to stop caring about them if that happened. I don’t know, I don’t think it’s fair to the person who blocked you it was obviously done for a reason and out of respect I’d just let them be. I know a lot of people rant on here how people just block them for no reason or out of the blue but I’d like to say that’s very rarely the case there’s usually always a reason, especially when it’s between a friend there’s usually something that went on between the two to cause that block versus it being with a stranger.
@LyricalOne if this has happened to you I’m sorry. You seem like a great and caring friend if this has crossed your mind 🙂🤗
LyricalOne · F
@Stark Well you’re a sweetheart. Without going into detail, let’s just say that these matters aren’t always so black and white. 🤗
@LyricalOne oh I definitely know. 🙂
I don't think so. That seems like peering into their window when they've pointedly locked the door.
@LyricalOne Life in a fishbowl, huh?
LyricalOne · F
@Mamapolo2016 Life in a toilet bowl. I’m out of there now but you can never take New York out of the girl.
@LyricalOne I have the same problem with Baptist.
SW-User
No but I do have a second account I can see most of my blockers, but they don't post anything interesting haha
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Lol..... lucky for you.
SW-User
@LyricalOne nah like I said they post nothing good so I'm glad I'm blocked
SW-User
No. If I cared about them, I'd know why they blocked me and I'd leave them alone.
SW-User
@LyricalOne @JustGoneNow I think people do it a lot here. 🙁
@SW-User I’m sure
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Maybe YenPox, judging by their reaction here. 🤔
SW-User
I’ve actually done that before. But I accidentally liked something on their profile then they changed their privacy settings. I think sometimes people block through how they was feeling at the time , they did the first thing that came to mind if feeling angry, scared or upset and did that to get a quick comfort or release from that. I think sometimes if that person truly cares about us they realise how much they miss us or realise that we are probably missing them or wanting to hear from them or wanting them back so I think they adventurely do end up unblocking us if we give them time and space to think things through. I’ve been tempted myself to block through emotions at the time but I’ve stopped myself as I know that I don’t want to do that , I just want to be left alone with my own thoughts. But it’s completely understandable to make an account just to check up on them as it just shows you care about them and don’t want anything bad to happen to them and as soon as they realise that then you sometimes have more of a chance.
@SW-User @LyricalOne Shit. Corrected to add “DON’T.” My mistake. *hangs head in shame*
SW-User
@JustGoneNow thank you 😊💖
@SW-User I just think we need to support each other and not tear each other down. I hate when people are made to feel “wrong,” simply for making different choices.
MellyMel22 · F
Probably not.. Although I’ve been blocked and checked on by them in diff accounts 😒
LyricalOne · F
@MellyMel22 Lol.... it’s okay. I’m totally confused and my own question is giving me a headache.
MellyMel22 · F
@LyricalOne Hahaha.. Well if you wanna talk about it clearer, feel free to message me 😂
LyricalOne · F
4meAndyou · F
No. Sometimes you've just got to take the hint.
LyricalOne · F
@4meAndyou Lol.... very true.
SW-User
Probably not. I'd be too hurt to look.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Good point!
Peapod · 61-69, F
@SW-User, I would be too. I figure if they blocked me, there was a chance they could be saying some unkind things too.
I think I would.
LyricalOne · F
@mindstruggle I honestly would be tempted.
@LyricalOne just for curiosity ofc.
Lilnonames · F
@mindstruggle did you make one when I blocked you
VeronicaPrincess · 61-69
If I really cared about them, I would respect their wishes, and not try to sneak past their block.
LyricalOne · F
@VeronicaPrincess Yes, sounds like the best way.
Fernie · F
That would be mental
Peapod · 61-69, F
@Mamapolo2016, that piece of it is understandable. I think if someone just drifted away and you had little understanding of why, I could see wanting to know.
@Fernie@Dusty101I understood the question to mean 'check up on them' as in once, they're okay, it's done.

Shadowing their every move would be decidedly mental.
LyricalOne · F
@Mamapolo2016 Yup, that’s more what I was getting at with the question.
SW-User
I have multiple accounts here 👀
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User You crazy girl!
SW-User
@SW-User haha it's ok... i should say just be yourself... but in this case... be yourselves 😂
SW-User
🤣 🤣 🤣
SW-User
No they can kiss my ***
@SW-User 😉
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User You tell em lady!
SW-User
Trucker334 · 46-50, M
It can’t hurt, well it might hurt to keep prolonging the inevitability that you can’t be in a relationship any longer.
LyricalOne · F
@Trucker334 This is true.
Peapod · 61-69, F
No. I won't chase after anyone that doesn't want to communicate with me.
LyricalOne · F
@Peapod Yes, I can understand that.
Dusty101 · F
@Peapod and that's how simple it is.
Im very good at that control.
As much as it may upset me.. I just don't bother with anyone who doesn't want anything from me!
Peapod · 61-69, F
@Dusty101, it can hurt a lot to watch someone drift off and then block without really knowing why. But I think it happens to the best of us. Maybe we just remind them of someone that they have in their real life that has hurt them. Who really knows?
SW-User
I've done this before when it was someone in a dangerous situation for whom I was very worried.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Good example of a gray area where it could make sense to do this.
SW-User
No...they decided to walk away why should I care 🤷
SW-User
@LyricalOne you just be yourself ☺
@SW-User 🖤🤗
SW-User
@JustGoneNow sweet sweet 😙🤗
SW-User
No,just cry into my pillow
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User That would probably be my approach.
ozgirl512 · 31-35, F
No... That's just adding to the pain... Move on...
LyricalOne · F
@ozgirl512 It really is. Thanks!
ozgirl512 · 31-35, F
@LyricalOne it's tempting... What harm could it cause?... Just more sadness... Smile and look up at the stars rather than down at your feet :)
No, I have more self respect than that
LyricalOne · F
@SarawithouttheH Fair enough, thanks.
Fernie · F
@SarawithouttheH and THAT is the bottom line !!
Starbursteffect · 51-55, F
No, I would get the message loud and clear
LyricalOne · F
@Starbursteffect Yes, that makes sense.
SW-User
Nope. I wouldn't even waste my time.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Even if you really cared?
SW-User
@LyricalOne If they're going to "forget" that I exist, then I might as well do the same.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Makes sense.
Personally, I think it's far better to do a wellness check yourself than posting one of those Bill Bailey won't you please come home posts. Those gotta be embarrassing.
@Mamapolo2016 Dang girl. Patsy Cline & Ella Fitzgerald. That’s an old song. 😉
@JustGoneNow You totally lost me until I reread what I said. Gotcha.
@Mamapolo2016 I love music. 😍
Dusty101 · F
Nope they blocked me so I wouldn't be interested in seeing what they're up to. Once I was blocked ages ago by someone and I did enquire through a friend here. I felt silly. So I wouldn't even think of opening another account. Not worth it.
LyricalOne · F
@Dusty101 Makes sense, thanks. 🙂
NoTearsLeft · 26-30, F
If I still cared about them, yes. Nowadays I wouldn't cause I don't care about online friendships. But when I was in ldr w my husband everytime he'd ghost me on email f.e. I'd message him on every other form of communication possible. Now he can't do it cause we live together so I won anyway
LyricalOne · F
@NoTearsLeft Makes sense, thanks!
SW-User
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Okay, thanks!
SW-User
I'd like to think that i wouldn't but i'd be very sad though and would want to know why.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User I am so sorry my friend. 😞
SW-User
@LyricalOne Thank you!.. it's ok though, just this post made me think. I do like how your posts make me do that :)
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User I’m glad. 🙂
Have I done it? Yes. Do I recommend it? No because it'll only make you feel worse. I don't think I'd do it again though. I learned that once the damage is done nothing will change it.
LyricalOne · F
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Ahh..... thanks for sharing that. A cautionary tale.
@LyricalOne No problem, friend
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
Why would anyone block MEEE??? ;)
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@LyricalOne no wonder we keep getting “swamped” with illicit ideas.
LyricalOne · F
@JavaJoe Oy vey. 🤦🏻
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@LyricalOne that’s a Java Hangover. 😂

@kingkyri there are people who do not know how to approach you and they block to prevent conflict Kingy. Not all peeps are brave and straightforward like us Kingy.

We have what it takes to tell people to their face what we think. Man up type of thing but pussies cant take it 😂😋

Maggimay · 46-50, F
@kingkyri I gotcha. I agree wholeheartedly Kingy.
SW-User
To stalk them? Yes.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Lol.... lovin the honesty.
Myzery · 41-45, F
It depends. If I saw that they appeared to be on a path of self-destruction, most likely. But if I was sure that they were going to be just fine without me around, no.
LyricalOne · F
@Myzery Makes sense, thanks!
Never ..If you thought so much about them you would let them go ...If you did you would only cause yourself more heartache.
If you have been blocked by a friend they cannot think so much of you .... Social media sites can cause so much heartache between the friendships it creates...🌼🌼🌼
I believe in honesty even on here.. If i was unhappy with a friend i would tell them why.. not just block them without warning .. Friendships on line need both people to be honest .As i say anyone who just blocks you .. Means you mean nothing to them ..🌼
LyricalOne · F
@TheStranger And what if it was a mutually agreed upon block but you wanted to make sure the other person was okay? Gray area, yes?
Yes it is ..And its very hard not to do what you say .You need to think.. Would you like someone prying on your life .Checking up on you .
I do understand what you are saying ..Even when you part on good terms ..you still think of a friend you cared for ..I know more than most ..Its hard .But pretending to be someone else is not the way .I promise you .🌼
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
I already have more than one account here.
LyricalOne · F
@NankerPhelge Then you’re good to go.
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@LyricalOne I didn't create my other accounts to circumvent blocks, I created them because I was getting bullied and trolled a lot. Then someone somehow found out my second account was me, so I created a third one because trolls started harassing me in my second account once they found out it was me. That was the only reason I created other accounts.
LyricalOne · F
@NankerPhelge Alrighty then.
jaymic64 · M
@LyricalOne you’re gonna need more than that when I’m done with ya 😬
LyricalOne · F
@jaymic64 Then you’ll just have to take me out to dinner. 🙂
jaymic64 · M
@LyricalOne deal 👍
AliceTinker · 51-55, F
No definitely not. You wouldn't need to do that anyway just log on without signing in. If they've blocked me they have their reasons
LyricalOne · F
@AliceTinker Lol.... that’s true. I always stay signed in so never even thought of it.
redheadchick · 31-35
That's a lot of work for someone I don't really know
LyricalOne · F
@redheadchick True, even if he is a werewolf and I’m Queen Elizabeth. 🙄
redheadchick · 31-35
@LyricalOne 🤣🤣
Faust76 · 46-50, M
That's only slightly weird and creepy. I guess like everything, "it depends". We'd have to talk about why the blocking, what kind of caring we're talking about. In general, I'd say if I cared about them at all, I'd respect their choice and clearly expressed desire not to be seen. If we're talking about caring including romantic sense, it would be a bad idea anyway as I wouldn't like what I see and it would take longer to get over. If we knew outside SW... well, I'd probably know how they're doing there. If they blocked me everywhere, and the reasons weren't otherwise made clear, I could imagine it for kind of closure I suppose.
LyricalOne · F
@Faust76 Thanks for your thoughtful response. 🙂
SW-User
I did a while ago.

I blocked one woman because she kept attacking me in her downward spiral. I don’t come on here to be attacked. She blocked me and that ended our friendship.

Another good friend (Cher) blocked me without a reason. We weren’t PM’ing. It was just a quiet block. I am still sad.

Anyway. I lurked for about a month with a new profile. I felt guilty so I deleted it.
@LyricalOne I... uh... got nothing.
SW-User
@JustGoneNow I wish SW had an appeals process.

Once every six months you can send a notification to the user. You can’t type anything. It just sends a notification. Just a reminder.
@SW-User Yeah, I guess. I’m honestly still like done is done. I have two people that I wish it had gone differently but it didn’t and I don’t care. Even if they unblocked me, I’ve blocked them now and done is done. I don’t revisit shit.
abe182 · 51-55, M
No I would respect their wishes.
LyricalOne · F
@abe182 Grrr.... I hate being an adult sometimes. 🙄
abe182 · 51-55, M
@LyricalOne hahaha 😉
JarJarBoom · 41-45, F
Why prolong the inevitable?
LyricalOne · F
@JarJarBoom Intellectually understood. Emotionally not always so easy to let go.
SW-User
No, they chose to do so..that's the end
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Yes, makes sense.
SW-User
No because it's obvious the caring was one sided
Maggimay · 46-50, F
I done that before. I am nosy like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️
LyricalOne · F
@Maggimay Lol.... I appreciate your honesty.
Maggimay · 46-50, F
@LyricalOne you welcome. No point in bullshitting.
SW-User
No.

Their loss.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User That’s the spirit.
SW-User
@SW-User This.
SW-User
@SW-User 💪
No. I’d be sad, obviously, but I’d just have to accept it and move on. 😞
LyricalOne · F
@bijouxbroussard Sometimes circumstances just arise that make the issue not so black and white.
@LyricalOne I’m not sure what situation would override accepting someone’s decision to block a person. Do you mean if you’re concerned he or she might self-harm ?
LyricalOne · F
@bijouxbroussard Not saying it’s a good idea, just that the impulse might be there.
is this evn a real question ? are you mocking me ?

i know you're mocking me.
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@GlueGun You said "I know you're mocking me". I thought that you thought the question was having a go at you, so I tried to sort it out. That was why I asked LyricalOne if she blocked you or not. I don't see much in the way of amusement here, I saw a confused situation which I stepped in to straighten out.
i wish you could hear me laughing.
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
@GlueGun Maybe you are watching Monty Python or Fawlty Towers on DVD, I don't know.
SW-User
I can't be bothered.
LyricalOne · F
@SW-User Fair enough.
SW-User
I would if VIP wasn't a thing. 😂
As such, I am even reluctant to go to peoples profiles.
SW-User
@SW-User hehe there are more people with nothing in their profiles than us active ones... I've noticed... And meh. Don't give it any importance. As long as they don't bother me
SW-User
@SW-User I personally don't care who looks at my profile as long as no one is harassing me. But I've seen people get all worked up about anyone looking at their profile.
SW-User
@SW-User ah those are creeps
