Why do I give even a second thought to the reaction of other online users (who may not even be human) when I get blocked? They’re strangers. None of this matters. It will not affect my physical life in any way what so ever. My rational side is absolutely boggled at my emotional side. (additionally, I know I’m not the only one but I prefer to ask questions like this in first person.)

  • How do you know you get blocked?

    Plenty of people will straight up tell you right before they block you. Which may also be why it’s infuriating. Which is kinda what the kind of person who tells you they are blocking you want.

      Yeah, I think that says something about them - crazy people. Better off out of it.
