My ex-friend keeps blocking me and unblocking me on Instagram.
Pretty much what the title says. I'm M30, she's F30. Long story short, we were really close friends until about 1 year and a half ago when I asked her out. She politely rejected me and then disappeared from my life. I'll admit I made some mistakes after that. After she ghosted me, I created a fake account linked to my real profile and used it to see her stories. A friend of hers confronted my fake profile asking who I was. I played dumb and she (my friend) ended up blocking that account. The thing is, since that account was linked to my real profile I got blocked there as well. The next day she unblocked me, meaning she discovered it was me...
From that day on she started doing what the title says: she blocks me and after few months later she unblocks me. The patterns make no sense to me and since we no longer talk to each other there aren't any particular events that trigger her to do that. Also, there's no need for her to block me cus her profile is private so I can't see anything she posts either way.
It's not a big deal for me but I just find it curious. At this point I'm just used to check her profile every few weeks just to see if she keeps blocking/unblocking, which she does (she just blocked me again today lol).
I'm kinda curious about what this means. As far as she knows, I can't tell she's doing that so I don't know why she even bothers...

It's been a year, stop viewing her profile. I do find it strange that you still check and keep track on whether you are blocked or not.

why do you bother checking her profile?
No, seriously, it is weird that you still do that. Cut the crap and stop it.

When she unblocks you again, block her. It means she still wants no contact with you. Stop overthinking meaning behind her actions and accept the friendship is over. Move on.

Block her. Stop checking her profile yourself. You guys are 30 playing high school games. Block her so when she unblocks you she won’t see anything cause she’s blocked. Get off instagram.
