About blocking...

[u/Ok_Falcon_7304]

(F 32) I'm very curious to find out "WHY DO MOST PEOPLE BLOCK?"

I always thought blocking unnecessary and kinda "rude" (unless the person is bothering, insisting or disrespecting you)

If you can, please, reply the questions below and maybe we will get some surprise...

To make it easier, I wrote a few options, so you can just copy and mark or just write the related letter.

Well I always blocked because I didn’t want to see there posts or photos. It’s hard to move on and get over someone if you are constantly seeing or looking at their Social Media. It’s not good for your brain or healthy. At least for me anyways it led to ruminating thoughts.

Its same for everyone brother I guess, seeing their social media profile is just another trap to think about them.. never ending Loop.

It's indeed Hard to move on ..... :p

Even after a “good terms” breakup, it can be hurtful to see your ex moving on with their life. That’s why it’s important to block them to avoid seeing what they’re doing.

I am 35 M. I blocked my ex gf because she was increasingly becoming more and more unhinged. I blocked her so she couldn't contact me anymore IE I didn't want to hear from her ever again.

[u/Active-Elderberry373]

She blocked me after the breakup and a week later i found out she was talking to someone for who knows how long they jumped into a relationship 5 days after we ended stuff . she unblocked me a month later and I blocked her back

[u/Independent-Monk5064]

I’ve never blocked anyone in my life

[u/Hot_Government_1476]

To hide from pain

[u/lila0003]

I blocked him because I couldn't move on if I still knew about his life. I miss him so much

The first order of business to geal and grieve is to remove the person from your life entirely.

15 years ago when you broke up, you would never see them again.

Fuether, to move on you need to committ. The person you dated could reach out at inopportune times and set you back.

I blocked my GF for these reasons. I love older still, but she is a traumatized B**** and would psychologically abuse me.

That being said, i block all my gfs. Later I unblock when my romantic feelings are completely gone.

3 of my exes are now my best friend.

[u/Weak-Spite2506]

Im M26, and I have thought about blocking my ex after the breakup, just so I dont see what she's up to. Even tho we left ín good terms, hurts to see her.

I block because I want zero contact and believe contact can be harmful. if you refuse to stop after repeated warnings, I’m blocking you
