Blocking out of the blue is a fucking asshole move. Especially without warning and for no reason. EVEN MORE when I told you that blocking without warning really offends me and pisses me off.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. The first one blocked me for no reason and I told some other guy (unrelated) that it was really offensive. Of course I was here for suicide related talk. When I told him that I was 17 he blocked me too. A friend of his told me that he blocked me cause was ‘uncomfortable because of my age’. Absolute bullshit.
Blocking is a painful discovery. It surely is. It hurts. Sorry to hear it. I guess when we get on here and comment we just don’t know how the comment will be received every time.
In the past I have made comments that greatly offended a few people on here. They reacted in kind. Then I was surprised and hurt. Ultimately I learned how to tone and express in a way that seems much better. If I have doubts about how my comment may be received, like causing pain rather than comfort, I don’t submit it.
We can only do our best. That usually works ok. But not always. I even keep my comments brief on social media these days because I have no way of knowing if it will be moderated or trashed for no reason I can foresee. I don’t type more than I can bear to see pitched. Again usually things (or us) aren’t pitched but we never know.
But blocking is even more personal. Not just your words, personal as they are, are rejected, but you are rejected. Yes, ouch. I am starting to ramble so I will wrap up.
I was once pitched aside by an ex wife. Crazy pain. The shrink said, “You would be surprised what other people throw away.” Well I thought, be as valuable as I can to others, and if I get pitched, I am still valuable and will be to someone else.
I was not being offensive or rude. They just realised I was young and talking about suicide. So obviously blocking me would make me feel MUCH BETTER. Fucking cowards.

My therapist will say, “feedback would be good” when I have told her that a certain person is forever banished from my life.
Feedback has worked in perhaps 2 out of 3 times I have tried it, following an offense against me.
Feedback: Not easily done, sometimes we (or they) just can’t swing it.
Advice for feedback givers and commenters too: In an old holy book I saw the following, “Speak the truth in love”.
