Isn't it annoying when someone has blocked you on social media?

Lighthearted.... I know this sounds pathetic but how annoying is this. Please say it's not just me?
I'll add it doesn't happen regularly!

Not really no. Doesn't really effect you much.

Unless your a stalker.

No not really! In fact it’s generally me doing the blocking.

I have a low tolerance for things that annoy me on my timeline so it’s easier to just block them. Anyone mentioning the general election has been silenced for 30 days and I’ve unfollowed the ones I know from bitter past experience will flood my feed with political propaganda.

You've either upset someone who has therefore put boundaries in place, or you were friends with someone who wants the drama.

Just step back and get on with your life.

I think we need to hear the backstory @cmforfun 😜

Nope, wouldn’t know or care.

People who are friends are friends in real life not via SM.

Not really. Guess it depends on the reason

I must admit it did used to bother me, until I heard someone saying that they see it as a win as it shows you've clearly made a good point, or have a good 'argument' and the other person doesn't know how to handle what's been said......... so that's how I've reframed my thinking.

It works well for me 😊

Btw, I'm not saying that's in every case, but it stops the overthinking.

My SIL has!!! No idea why. I'm not that close to her as rarely see her. DH doesn't think it's a big deal and said she might have done it by mistake. To check if it was a mistake, I "re-added" her and she did not accept so it was obviously an intentional block. I don't lose sleep over it but do think it's weird.

I stopped using it about 6 years ago, so wouldn't really know who is still connected. Can't say I'd be massively fussed about being blocked.

It only annoys me when I go to block someone and find out they've blocked me first! 🤣

Do you know you are blocked and they haven't just deactivated?

I’d assume the blocker wants to winge about things they don’t want you to hear.

I’ve been unfriended for failing to coo over every picture they put up.

Frankly it suggests I’d prefer not to know them anyway.

I agree that it is annoying if someone blocks me without first giving a reason.
I admit that I have blocked a few people who either try to get me into a get rich quick scheme or who offer to sell me sexy photos.

Is that you Martha

I block plenty of people. I don't want to look at shit that annoys or bores me.

I honestly wouldn't notice if they'd blocked me ? And if i did I couldn't care less

I can't say that I'd notice. If somebody is upset enough with me to block me then I'm probably not that happy with them either and I'm not interested in communicating with them.

Nah just catch them with an alt or via a friend 😂😂

I had friends who were a couple and had known the husband longest. I was more friendly with his wife though and had coffees with her. I had a coffee with her and she suggested I go to a spiritual event with her as my Dad had just died. I liked the idea at the time.
Next day I went to message her and she'd blocked me! Her husband said she had blocked everyone who he was friends with in any capacity. They had separated a few days before I met her for coffee but she hadn't said and I didn't know!
I think she blocked everyone so she could behave like a madwoman during the divorce, as she got very bitter and nasty.

Ah just in laws, we've lent money a few times and said no this time. Saw a status about cost of living and having to feed their kids beans on toast all week, while family members book holidays. We actually offered to have kids here for tea if it would help, no response. I went on for a nose earlier and we've both been blocked by husband and wife.

Totally petty of them and of me for caring but still irritating!

My local MP blocked me without a single offensive thing said 😆

I'd see that as a win!

Ah well fuck them in that case and never lend a penny again.
