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.

People are very fickle, especially here, and for those who are very insecure they’ll block others out of nowhere just to give themselves some kind of peace so they can exist here. There’s issues there that you’re better off not being exposed to any further.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart Very fickle but I saw this person as stable. Oh well..

@PerfectionOfTheHeart Yes, peace is a frequent reason. If someone frequently attacks me, it's either block them or permanently leave SW.

@NoGamesTolerated That oh well is very powerful in instances like this cause what can you do. Many will paint a portrait of themselves that is actually the exact opposite of who they are though. It’s like a chance for them to completely disassociate from the person they are…the one that others and even themselves may not be happy with…because it’s makes their life easier. But that’s not true for all. They could very well be 100% stable and just decided for whatever reason their SW experience was better off without you in it. I’m sure we’ve all had that happen to us at one point. Most of us may just pay attention to the blockers with excessive toxicity/issues because we’ve noticed a bit of the darkness has washed itself away.

@SW-User If you can’t find peace here, what’s the point…you know? It’s hard enough finding it outside of here.
SW-User
@PerfectionOfTheHeart Exactly. I don't come here for all the political and religious arguing etc. OR the porn stuff. So I end up using the block feature quite a bit and have gotten a bad rep from it. 💀
@PerfectionOfTheHeart You know I’ve encountered the hiders as well… but I’ve known this person for quite a while.. and I can’t help but believe there has been some kind of misunderstanding.

Sometimes I’m honestly afraid to breathe around here. Not sure why I even bother. 😞

@NoGamesTolerated I'm always on the verge of pulling the plug on SW. Just a couple of weeks ago, I caught a whole bunch of people ridiculing my posts. I ended up deleting all of them consequently. Now, I'm leery of ever writing any more of them.

@SW-User …I don’t get why you’d get a bad rep for that, but considering the middle school mentality that is often beaming here it makes sense such a harmless act of self-preservation would ruffle the feathers of those needing to be heard to be validated. I tend to steer clear of the circus when the monkeys start slinging their dung so…
@SW-User I deleted all my questions once because this nasty guy was leaving stupid comments to me on my questions because I ignored his private messages, and I’ve had enough of that behavior. He’s done it for years…So I took the liberty to delete ALL my questions so the creep had no way to interact with me.. After all it WAS MY profile.. and when that happened, I temporarily deleted and when came back 3 people had unfriended me. I was stunned… but anyway .. I hope they are all happy. I will never add anyone else ever again first!

@NoGamesTolerated If there was a misunderstanding you’d think addressing it would be step one, but people are very afraid of confrontation here. I don’t get why either.

@NoGamesTolerated I've only been here 3 months, off and on, and was already stalked/harrassed before the first week was up. Worse things were said to me and about me than I've seen in all my 24 years on the internet. I'm no novice when it comes to forums and chats, but the crap that goes on here is something I just don't have time or energy for anymore.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart You are so right! They would rather discard people like a piece of trash rather than talk about what bothers them. I guess that’s how they cope… but I think I’m a bit more stable and willing to talk about anything and if need be apologize.
@SW-User I was stalked and harassed for years… I feel ya!
