Have you ever had to block people you genuinely cared about on here?

Lilymoon · F Best Comment
I never block anyone 🤭

@Lilymoon I love General Hospital
Lilymoon · F
@mindlessdrifter that's Y&R 🤣
@Lilymoon She is on General Hospital now. But that is so ironic lol

Yeah. I don’t necessarily get along with everyone I care about here. Just how it is for one or two people I once had an amazing connection with. Events transpire, masks lower, and words that can’t be unheard are spoken. So yeah, sometimes that care can only be from a distance because “breathing the same air” as them isn’t an option when the wound is that fresh.

Caring makes us human.

Like I said

Space apart … sure.

Cold hearted cut off.

Nah @PerfectionOfTheHeart

Btw i see we’re talking about two different kinds of people here

to totally abandon someone especially during their most vulnerable time is a c’nty move.

I’ll stand by that in re to what I’m referring to

I’m not talking about using vulnerability to reel in people kinda people

That’s what you’re on about which I agree with

I’m talking about a genuine person who’s hurting deeply from other things they are going through who ends up being cut off out of the blue by the person they trusted as a friend and confidant

Once. Someone developed an inappropriate attachment and didn't respect my clearly set boundaries.

I don't usually block, I'm more apt to mute.

@kutee You care about perverts?🤔
@Matt85 yes he/she/it does 😹
kutee · T
@Matt85 yes i don tlike people who talk aobut childrenor diapers
yep...even shared intimate details about my life with her as she did with me. but then it all changed when they kept challenging me, almost putting me down....i had to say by by...too bad cus i actually liked her and she is a fellow canadian....i get more love from the nigerian princes on here
Haven’t blocked anyone yet. Do you mean when the feelings aren’t returned?
TakeCare87 · 36-40, M
@OlderSometimesWiser It got to a point where you write them and you know they've read your messages but chose not to reply. I figured the best way is to respect their decision to no longer engage, but of course that isn't easy on me seeing them around all the time, so best thing to do was to block.
@TakeCare87 Understandable. Bottom line is doing what’s best for your peace of mind. This place should be fun, not a source of unhappiness.
TakeCare87 · 36-40, M
@OlderSometimesWiser Appreciate you😊
joelo901 · 31-35
I think it’s rude not to reply to messages I’ve lost friendships over this
TakeCare87 · 36-40, M
@joelo901 This is exactly my issue.
joelo901 · 31-35
@TakeCare87 wow good it’s like I was the one in the wrong

Yup. But I kinda always unblock because I don't really block many. I'm not against blocking, just that I don't care enough to. But to be honest there's a few times I've had to temporarily for peace of mind.

Mainly stem from debates. There's a few I cared about who knew me for plenty of years that I would consider alright but then I have one opinion they disagree with and everything they know about me goes out the window.

I don't put up with those kinds of red flags even in real life.
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
When I am at the point of blocking...it means I no longer care😒
JamieS · 46-50, F
Honestly, I would not even know how to block anyone here. I am a newbie that is still trying to learn the tricks of this site.

While I do not have many friends here, I make it a point to be very selective when choosing whom I befriend and if I have the feeling that we are not compatible on a number of levels, then I simply refrain to befriend those people.

I mean, I make it clear in my bio descriptive what my likes are. Those that are not listed don’t automatically mean that I dislike them. It just means that I haven’t looked at all of them yet.


However, everyone can go through my forums and notice there isn’t a single one referring to sexual topics. That should be indicative enough that I am not interested in getting dick pics. Those that disregard that wish of mine would be the ones I am likely to block.


If only I would know! But do not fear, I will find it out sooner or later. I am a quick learner when told often enough…
joelo901 · 31-35
Not replying back to messages is annoying
SW-User
Nope. That kinda defeats the object of ‘caring about em’ doesn’t it 😌💐
SW-User
lol people like that will find fault with their own shadow

Not my problem

I know what I gave …they know what they had

I can live with that. @TakeCare87
TakeCare87 · 36-40, M
@SW-User That's fair enough
@SW-User What if you find out they were participating on trolling another well loved member here and helping to spread the lies against them?
I have...of course in retrospect I can tell myself it wasn't anything I "had" to do. Whenever I did it was always more of a reflection on my own internal conflict than it was having anything to do with them. Still hurts either way.

Nah, I only block people who can’t respect my views and verbally assault me. Imagine hating someone that you have never met just because they believe in something different, and then going out of your way to harass them.
Lilliesandlight · 41-45, F
Ive blocked people who i thought i cared about, but they ended up being weird or mean. Basically I'm like... yeah nevermind!
joelo901 · 31-35
I got blocke a lot becuse I use to send them loads of messages or I got bullied so I use social medi differently now I just post stories
Nah, i only block those who go above and beyond to be problemtic. at that point, there isnt much love or care.
Mirage · F
No. I mostly only block the most perverted and egregious.
I don't block for minor offenses or disagreements.
Blondily · F
Yes unfortunately but there are reasons why one must do that to avoid toxicity.
Yes and I unblocked them too For reasons that are more important to me.
I dont remember. I have not blocked in a long time.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
No. I never block people. You see, as a responsible adult with a wide range of interests and a high level of intellectual curiosity, I want to know what makes people tick. That can't happen if you start blocking people. I guess you could call me a people person with empathy and maturity.

@Arantxa Sorry about that
Arantxa · 18-21, F
@TakeCare87 was having genuine nice convo for weeks and then it got weird and creepy out of the blue
mooncrest02 · 31-35, F
Luckily not
TexChik · F
A few times.
scorpiolovedeep · 46-50, M
No.
Not if genuinely caring about them ( and know them well)

I tend to walk away from people who cannot string more than 10 long sentences or too shallow in their thinking.
itsok · 31-35, F
I have done

I blocked one user because they were constantly getting into drama and arguments and i couldn't handle it anymore.

Al the people complaining to me about them
Them complaining about others.

They were very kind to me but i could not handle the baggage of the friendship

I suck, i know
Unfortunately yeah. Sometimes it's best to find peace from confusion and miscommunication
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
Yep, they either go psycho one day or cross a line they shouldn't cross with me... but mostly go psycho... 🤔
maskedbandit · 61-69, M
I never block anyone, no matter what the situation is, 'si.' 🤔 😂
Umile · 41-45, F
Nmh.

If they give off a little bit of fake energy.
Lilymoon · F
Thanks for bc 😁
Musicman · 61-69, M
No I haven't.
As a very last result…but it has happened. 😞

(I’m glad you’re back, I thought you’d gone.😊)
No, I think w/out exception, ever block I've ever made was to manage hate against them
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
Once I did but it takes a lot for me to block
TakeCare87 · 36-40, M
@iamonfire696 I understand that completely
caesar7 · 61-69, M
Yes...once.
Workerbee · 31-35, M
If I genuinely cared about someone why would I block them? Seems odd..
TakeCare87 · 36-40, M
@Workerbee Yeah just because you care about them doesn't mean the feeling is mutual
Workerbee · 31-35, M
@TakeCare87 well no not everyone operates that way, both parties should care about each other first, that’s how real friendships/relationships work
TakeCare87 · 36-40, M
@Workerbee Indeed, but even a genuine friendship or relationship can eventually become one sided
Lilnonames · F
Yup I'll Block any one.
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
@TakeCare87 little known fact about Lil is that she was a right tackle and best blocker in high school before a car accident (that wasn't her fault, of course) side-lined a promising career..
Lilnonames · F
@atlantic59 my dad was dan blocker😄
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
@Lilnonames I loved him on that Western series in the seventies, 'Gunsmoke' was it. He was great. I imagine you are too.
empanadas · 31-35, M
Yeah, they started changing their sense of humor and they kept flagging me.
