When you find yourself blocked for no apparent reason.

I have been busy with life, came back after only a couple of days and found myself blocked and do not have a clue why. People here can be so silly .. but I’m just confused. Baffled 😐

Anyway, I do hope it makes you feel better.

I've had that happen.
Sometimes I choose to take a break from being on any social media.
I've come back after a week to find myself unfriended, then blocked when I asked why.

There is life outside of here. Go figure!

🤷‍♀️
@JerseyGal It just stings cause I know I did nothing to deserve it, and I think this person is a nice person. 😞

I found myself once not too long ago deleted by a couple of people cause I deleted my own questions for a very good reason… and I feel it’s my business what I do with my questions or my profile here on SW. I just don’t get people that feel the need to ‘think’ they get to control what others do here, or block them.

Oh well nothing really ever surprises me here.

@NoGamesTolerated I never block anyone out of a need to control them. My number one reason for blocking people is because they've said or done something to let me know they personally don't like me. I find it unnerving to be constantly reading posts that are bullying or ridiculing of me or my posts. The other big reason for blocking is repetitive obscenity/arguing or threats.
@SW-User Did someone accuse you of the things you write about? I don’t even know you. So I certainly didn’t..

@NoGamesTolerated The subject of how much people hate blocking here keeps coming up. I'm just giving my perspective as one of the evil blockers.
@SW-User We all block when we feel the need. I’ve certainly blocked my share but it would be for extremely rude or nasty comments to me.. that I don’t have to tolerate. But I’ve not had any kind of run in with this lady at all. She actually had my respect.

And my question wasn’t about me hating blocking as it can serve anyone well here for ‘real reasons’ but up out of the blue for no reason that my mind can comprehend.. just doesn’t feel right.

But it’s just kinda sad to me.

That's really strange then. I don't usually happen to notice when people block me. I can think of 2 men who've done so, but both said harsh and rude things before blocking me.

Sometimes it makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes, you should feel free to do what you'd like with your profile, posts, etc. on here. If anyone gets upset over you deleting your own content, then that's an issue they have. It's hard not to take it personal at times.

I usually do not notice if someone blocks me. But when it's someone I've had contact with, and have had no issues with, then I notice and it bothers me.
@JerseyGal One lady called me “fake”. Another completely ignored me afterwards but did not delete but one man …and one woman just deleted me… none of them had a clue what I was experiencing.

I hope they all feel better. But I maintain it is MY business what I do with any and all on my own profile. I wouldn’t expect anyone to be harassed as I had been. I had a very good reason for deleting my stuff. If people don’t know or understand I guess they make it up in their minds why… and usually anyone that assumes anything about me are wrong!
