To think a friendship has ended if you are blocked on Facebook

Long term friendships been waning for the past couple of years or so. Very little in common any more. She hardly texts or confides in me. Meet ups been cancelled. She has blocked other former friends before when they have to be honest not done a lot to hurt her (or anything) she reads far to much into things and has always been a bit of a drama queen. I was the last one out of a group of friends she was still in touch with. I told her about my husband having a serious health problem and all I got back was “oh hope he gets sorted”. She makes comments about it where I live being common.

about 2 months ago I found myself blocked on Facebook. I got another person to check if she was still on Facebook and she was so basically I thought that is that. Not too bothered I have lots of other friends I am closer to so friendship over.

a few days ago I get a message which must have been mass sent to everyone (as it was make into a poem) she is still in touch with explaining that she had had a tough year and explaining why and all this other stuff about how hard her life has been.

my husband and I have also been through a shit time with my existing heath problems getting worse and also my husband being diagnosed with MS. Which I know she knows about but I have had nothing from her. I am the other hand has no idea what has been going on with her, she has not told me.

so I sent back that I wish her well in the future and I know she blocked me on Facebook so she obviously does not want to be close anymore but I really wish her well.

got back a message to say she still wants to be friends and she has blocked everyone on Facebook as she does not want the hassle. She also has a go about me not asking her why she has been in hospital (I had no clue she had even been in).

now am I right thinking to you would let someone know if you where blocking them on Facebook but still wanted to be friends and to think I don’t need this drama.

I would just ignore her message and not engage from now on. not just for the blocking, but for being flakey, being rude about your area, being uncaring... you're more forgiving than me. She's not really a friend, block her back and put it all behind you.

Hi OP I’ve just been blocked on Facebook and it’s hurtful

im sure you don’t believe she’s “blocked everyone” and realise deep down it’s an excuse

I think she’s doing a bit of DARVO - - reverse victim / offender over the hospital thing

I think you’re right not to want drama

I got blocked yesterday and I’ve felt very down and am now looking for ways to cheer myself up so I empathise totally OP

Block her on everything and don't give her another thought

I wouldn’t take being blocked on FB as necessarily indicative of anything, but it’s not relevant here, surely? You don’t like her and don’t want to keep her in your life.

You're not actually friends though "Very little in common any more. She hardly texts or confides in me. Meet ups been cancelled." At best she's an acquaintance, so I'd just block her back and crack on.

I got rid of fb 2 years ago best thing I’ve ever done! Fed up with all the drama. I’d cut her loose sounds like she wants all the attention but it’s very odd as she doesn’t share with you or really care what you’re going through.
life is too short for life’s takers

Not just being blocked but being put on restricted on Facebook. I just block and delete . If people don’t want me to see their content then why should they look at mine ?

nomas · 23/07/2025 10:49

Ugh she's a deadweight. Block and delete her and be free.
