I have been blocked by people I liked and with whom I thought I got along…

Nothing to be done. It’s happened before, will no doubt happen again. I get that I’m not to everyone’s taste, but sometimes it is unexpected. I suppose there is much to be said for not getting too close. 😞
same...so i created an alt account recently just so i can see some of the users who have blocked me....i scratch my head as to why 🤔
I noticed a few disappear from my radar right after the election. Guess my evident disgust made me persona non grata.
@OlderSometimesWiser The election blocks didn’t surprise me, because we weren’t going to be on the same page. But it’s the blocks that come out of nowhere, by people I thought might’ve said something first if they were upset.
@bijouxbroussard Yeah, those kinda blocks are frustrating because so much of the time whatever the issue was could have been cleared up fairly easily if just given the chance.

@bijouxbroussard ahh yeah that kinda hurts suddenly finding yourself blocked when even looking at conversation for clues there aren’t any 😔

I've had that happen, and it upset me more than it probably should have....but I keep coming back here anyway.

Never rely on online friendships. They are there one day, gone the next
@solitaire Did you have the same username ? I think I remember seeing it. 😊
solitaire · 41-45, F
@bijouxbroussard I did not. I don't remember my EP username 🤔. I liked EP better though. Also I joined when I was undergoing personal struggles and joining EP somehow helped
@solitaire That was my reason, as well. 🥺

I'm sorry this has happened to you. I've experienced it as well. We all get blocked, but it's very hard to understand when it's done without warning by someone you always seemed to get along with. I'm pretty indifferent to blocks by randos I don't even know, but this kind of block can be hurtful, especially when someone you really like does it.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
Yeap. Its happened to me a lot over the years here. I used to feel hurt by it, but not anymore.

Id wonder what id said to upset or offend.
But i know that not something i set out to do in general. If i offend....i mean to!! Lol
So if someone takes offence when i didnt try to upset them, then not a lot i can do about that if they decide to cut me off.

I got 2 like that. And I also blocked some I used to get along with and thought it was a pity but I can't stand people who turned out to be approving of totalitarian regimes and oppression of basic human rights. And I don't care if they really believe it or just troll to be controversial and annoy people.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Some block for the silliest reason. And do so without thought.

My block list is empty still after eight years. Yet those who have blocked me are legion. Approximately 350 that I know of.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@DeWayfarer I kind of wish there was a way to see all the people who have blocked me.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire I say approximately because those are the ones that I have bookmarked.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@DeWayfarer At one point, I was going to block every single person who had me blocked, but I unblocked several of them and of course I can't find them now, so it's useless.
GunFinger · F
It happens a lot to me too. Just didn't agree on going on Skype with them so they blocked me. Don't worry. We the good ones are still here with you.🤗
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@GunFinger Tbh, I don't see why should I add someone I only know on the internet to personal apps like Skype, Facebook or Whatsapp. I don't know how well you knew each other but I think there's always something risky about inviting someone to what I perceive as a more personal space and in my eyes, a decent person should understand it. I also don't like when someone asks me to get on the app I don't use just to be able to talk to them. Whenever I did it in past, I always kept forgetting to open the app and check the messages anyway.
Frostcloud · F
ive only noticed this happen once. i thought we seemed very similiar so im not sure where it came from! it would be nice to understand but we just dont always get that closure
Lugwho · 56-60, M
I'm curious to know what I've said to offend people sometimes.
Lugwho · 56-60, M
@bijouxbroussard Maybe thatswhat people don't like lol
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Lugwho I don't know. This comment thread inspired me to look at your profile, and I don't find anything even remotely upsetting.
Lugwho · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire Thanks. It's fair to say there are some odd people here, and not worry about it.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
Yep, it happens. When it does, I can't help but want to know why. Not because I think they're wrong or anything, just curious.
Sapio · 51-55, M
The only mind you can truly understand as well as the decisions it makes is your own. People do the darnedest things at times.
forestgirl · 46-50, F
I don't understand people on this place. Some very sensitive people. It's sad this happened to you.
greensnacks · 31-35, F
It's okay. People are complicated and when someone blocks you, you can save yourself an eventual block spot 😂
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
Disagreement over a post?
That is sad.

Hope you are ok.
@scorpiolovedeep Thank you. More than I had thought, apparently. 🥺
Livingwell · 61-69, M
People are weird today. What happened to take you as you are?
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
That can be depressing. :(
@ChipmunkErnie Yes. I’m glad you and I at least talk when we disagree—that’s what friends generally do. 🥺
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@bijouxbroussard Well, or I just turn off the computer and yell at you? LOL ;)
DefNotTravelguy · 41-45, M
Yeah that happened before to me too
tindrummer · M
Yeah, BookerDana blocked me a couple of days ago over his inappropriate joke if you remember.
Oh well. 🤷
I was surprised he's so thin-skinned.
@tindrummer He blocked me over that, as well. We’ve disagreed before, but I guess this was too much.
tindrummer · M
@bijouxbroussard That surprises me.
You were much nicer in your reaction to his indignation to your comment on the op than I was.
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
Sorry Bijoux. I’ve had a few like that. Sometimes it’s hard to know the motives. Once I think they had an argument with someone else I was friends with and that was reason enough.
We have had our disagreements, but, regardless, I know you got good heart. And that above all is most important.
@YourMomsSecretCrush That’s always been my impression of you, as well. 😊
Pfuzylogic · M
Which is why I find VIP so useful.
It takes a lot of mystery away about who and when and possible cause.
@Pfuzylogic I’ve often discovered it when I see who visited my profile.
Pfuzylogic · M
@bijouxbroussard I have had new profiles; my guess is that they are reworked old profiles, come visit my page and block me very first thing. I guess by their profile name who they are and of course visit their page with an unlinked alt.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
It happens. I'll never have a desire to block you.
@Crazywaterspring Likewise, my friend. 🤗
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
You’re one of the last ones here I’d ever block 🤗
@Zaphod42 Likewise, my friend. 😊
RSquared · 61-69, M
Yep. It definitely happens. C'est la vie as they say.
@RSquared C’est tellement vrai, hélas.
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
Sad to say but folk on the net can be very fickle☹
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
Yeah. Nothing to be done about it.
chasingThursday · 36-40, M
Happens to the best of us
Raaii · 22-25, F
Yes it happens my friend 🥹..*
Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
If they are doing it to you, then they are doing it to others on here
Jexie · 26-30, F
Hmm you seem like a nice person
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
What a cesspool this place can be.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I always take it so personally when that happens. I don't know why. It's obviously not me. But that's how I take it.
tindrummer · M
@LordShadowfire me too brother; me too 😥
@LordShadowfire I do understand. I take it more personally when I feel like I’ve befriended the person. 🥺
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard Oh, those are the worst. Like, you thought you were really getting along, and then all of a sudden, nope.
empanadas · 31-35, M
It is what it is. People humors change. At least you know, the people who really rock with you
@empanadas That is true.
