I got blocked!

I was deleting archived conversations and ran across one that indicated I was blocked which made me chuckle. This person was the one that contacted me. Told me their life story, how tough life is, etc. I explained that I had similar past. We spoke back and forth and one day they said they didn't like to chat much. Then I noticed several negative posts about various topics. I didn't interact much because I didn't know if they wanted friendship or not. Nor did I want to argue with their point of view. They definitely had opinions. Today I discovered, I guess not on the friendship. The funny part is that my feeds are much more positive now. I'm winning! 😆
A lot of times I’ll look at previous posts, see that someone who replied, with whom I thought I got along, has blocked me. I can still see their reply, but their avi is obscured. Occasionally I’m puzzled and a bit sad. But the bottom line is, they saw something in my posts that they believed incompatible with a friendship. I try to be authentic here, so que sera, sera. 🥺
@bijouxbroussard And this story is beaten like a dead horse on here now... I don't know why blocking became so popular, though I make good use of it, and sadly sometimes I think it's from how fragile online friendships are...

@thewindupbirdchronicles Yes, online friends are not reliable. I don’t know why I even bother commenting to anyone

@Stuffy Sorry too hear that😐
Do you feel better now that you shared your being blocked story with the rest of the class?
@Livingwell
Lmao. Why would I block you? You're just some random stranger on the boards here...

@pillowprincess Exactly. And this person reached out to me. If they had a problem all they had to do was say so. I'm not difficult.
@Livingwell
Well, who knows why they felt a need to block you. It's their decision and right as the blocking feature is available for anyone feeling the need to use it. It's happening every day and happening to all of us, who cares? You sound hurt?

I’m starting to block people that only want to chat privately but ignore my posts, I just assume they’re embarrassed to interact where others can see so I do them the favour of no more interaction at all.
@Jeephikelove
Hi 😌

@pillowprincess hi sweetie

@Jeephikelove I see your point. Maybe the nuclear option but it's your choice.

There are some weird people on here!

I have had that happen several times too. I just scratch my head and laugh.

I get blocked everyday. It happens and that’s why that feature is here because we get to curate our experience here.

If you find someone depressing then you have that option too and don’t have to wait for someone to do it.

@Livingwell I don’t ever worry about that, I seem to get myself blocked lol.

How many people do you have blocked? Are you close to 500 🤭

@iamonfire696 It surprises me that people block you. I have never seen any reason someone should.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@likesnatural Thank you for saying that.

I am okay with being blocked. It only sucks when it’s someone who is a friend or I respect.
