Being blocked in return for blocking others

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

I had a question about being blocked on social media sites like FB or Twitter. I was wondering how many of you have blocked certain family members or other people for either feeling angry with them after a fight, felt pressured, or bullied on social media sites like Facebook. Then do other family members or former friends or aquiantances who feel offended to block you because you blocked that certain person? If so how many?

What do you call that type of behavior? I call it retaliation and a insult myself but that is just an opinion of mine.

I call it another reason to ditch your facebook and maybe in this case ditch your whole family too.

Lol, the reason I block on facebook is if someone who I am talking to pushes the hot button in terms of making me feel like a half of a person by either talking to me as if I am stupid or I have or I am low functioning.

I would call that kind of behavior "karma".

Karma. I would have never thought of it as a form of Karma.

I've mentioned this before, but I had a problem on Facebook a few years ago where my sister shared some info about my daughter's personal problems which I did NOT want made public, and because I had issues with that, she blocked me from being able to see her wall posts. Meanwhile, her husband deleted me off his friends list and blocked me from being able to see his page at all.......he wasn't involved in the original situation, so my guess is he was mad because his wife got "attacked".

In my case, I block someone on Facebook if I feel like they are talking to me like a child who should be obedient or if they act like they are smarter than I am because they had special privileges that I did not. So they are going to talk to me like I am stupid. Sp that is when I block.

I did that to one cousin after the huge tsunami hit and parts were going into Cal. This was since their sibling was living out there going to school. I asked my cousin, my aunt and the other one who I mentioned. The cousin was very snotty and acted like it was better to talk to their sibling because it was logical since I was worried about them. I then made them mad be saying "Live long and prosper." Then they said, "It's in Northern Cal. They are in USC which says, "Southern"

So I said, "I am not stupid, get over yourself." Then I blocked them.

As a result, my aunt and other cousin blocked me back.

Then I had a co-worker who was spreading lies about me to her family after they acted like my friends and agreed to add me since they thought their family member and I were buds. Their sibling told me to mind my own business. So I told them that what was going on was not true and so I blocked that sibling because I did not want to get yelled at. So, the co-worker who lied about me blocked me back.

Isn't that the truth?

I've blocked people on facebook before. There's nothing wrong with returning the favor, sometimes thats the only way people learn!

I got blocked for saying I disliked someone's fanfic last year because I felt like it was poorly written. They did not say anything and blocked me and so I blocked them back without saying a peep.

I have blocked my former online friends because I didn't want to see them. One I blocked to get away from a drama but it lead to here instead in a thread. The other I blocked when she made a nasty post to me here and I thought we were friends and I saw she removed me as a friend on FB so I blocked her when I saw her in a group so I wouldn't see her. I have blocked someone in a aspie group when she made a post I found provocative, and I have blocked trolls because I didn't want to see their crap. I also blocked someone when she made a hate post towards people who have a certain kink.


I don't block people when they block me. It makes no sense.

...I didn't even know that you could tell when people blocked you (except, of course, when it was someone on your friends list doing the blocking). If random strangers block me then what's the big deal? Also, how would it have any majorly different effect if they blocked you if you already blocked them?

I blocked several family members because I don't want to be part of their drama as well.
