You Have Been Blocked!

That good ole block setting on your social media sites is the greatest invention since caller ID, right? We don't ever have to communicate with that annoying individual again without any explanation. I have about 10 people blocked myself. Mostly men who I feel have crossed the line, and could become potential stalkers. I do also have a couple woman blocked who are not even on my friend list that have clearly escaped from the phych ward. If I have an acquaintance on my friend list who only added me to sell me something, I will delete you, but never block you. I know there is a "hide" feature, but if I don't know you, and you don't interact on my posts, or I on yours, really what's the point of us being friends? It's nothing personal, I just like to keep people on my personal page to at least acquaintance status.

 I will never block a former friend who I no longer speak or interact with. I don't hold a grudge against you, I just don't see the point in having a former friend all up in my business. Just like I probably wouldn't want an ex boyfriend, or ex husband on my list of friends. Of course I only have one of them, and he's not on social media of any kind. That is unless he has me blocked. Yes, this sweet ray of sunshine has been blocked herself .

 I can always tell when someone has blocked me by a mutual friends post who are interacting with someone I can't see the comments of. I was just blocked by a former friend and neighbor whom I deleted because they thought they were punishing me by not talking to me, and deleting my comments. How awkward is that? I had a guy unblock me after 2 years and pretended it didn't happen, but of course I called him out and he still denied it. Human behavior is so funny sometimes, I should have studied it in school. I have been blocked by a family member years ago. Oh wait, that was in real life.
