When someone you like blocks you

Someone I really liked here blocked me today. This person brought me a lot of joy. They are really funny and when I am in pain which is all the time their posts made me laugh.

I was always active on their posts and they commented on one of my posts today and I went to go and comment back and I can’t.

I am just not good at this stuff. Hasn’t been the greatest day and that kinda made it worse 😢.

How do you deal with this?

Ok.. as a veteran of being blocked.. I get blocked regularly by people i thought all was good with. even by people ive been friends with for years. Like talk on the phone kind of friends.

Even recently i got blocked out of nowhere. No sexual stuff occurred, but someone who i shared a deeply personal part of my life with, something i don't share at all publicly, and they were even in a very similar situation. It was a relief to be able to talk about that painful part of our lives together.

Then i went to reply to a pm, and pow! Blocked.

I used to get really hurt, and then angry, then felt like lashing out or contacting them from another account, to ask why or troll them or whatever. But now i just get hurt without any need to contact or confront them in anyway. The hurt passes much quicker than before as well.

This is my acceptance process.

If i cared about them. Thought they were good and kind and intelligent and a wonderful enough person for me to befriend and open up to, then i have to have faith.. or believe.. they had a good reason. That they were hurting in some way i didnt know about, and felt there was no way to address it with me, and because they rely on this site for adding light and healing to their life, they felt if they didn't block me. Seeing me would have been too difficult for them.

I have to trust that they know whats best for them, and because i care about them to begin with, though hurt and confused, i really want to still care for them. Hoping one day we will meet again as better stronger people and reconnect. Maybe we cant rebuild, but we can get clear and resolved with what happened somehow.

I know sounds like a hallmark card.. but its helped me. Also. I too have blocked people in the past and regretted it, and learned from it, and become a more emotionally mature person for it. So.. there you have it. The patent pending Coppercoil strategy for overcoming the hurt that cones from an unexpected block.

@Coppercoil I am really sorry. Those deep down connections, how can someone just block so callously though. That doesn’t come along often. That would break me.
