i have blocked many people on FB.
My husbands side relatives, my side relatives, my office colleagues
and even classmates from school.
Reason being that i have mood swings i dont want to end up doing something embrassing on FB
I keep writing on groups which for those who were sexually abused, verbal abuse and bullied
i dont want these people to know my whole story etc...so i blocked them.
Whereas one guy from my school was acting weird asking me to meet him here and there..
after repeatedly shoooing him off when he didnt get the point i blocked him off.

I am just on FB to widen my knowledge about abuse and how to deal with it....anything or anybody else
doesnt matter for me. especially nosy poky relatives

I get deleted all the time. Apparently they think I start fights, insult everyone, and I have a chip on my shoulder.

I recently discovered that I had been unfriended and blocked by someone on FB. It made me really sad. Once again, I have somehow offended someone and I have no idea what I have done.

Yep. But then again, I have done the same.

I have, too, but in a different context. I regularly un-friend people who are not active users on FB and whose accounts are therefore at risk of getting hacked. I always send them a message beforehand telling them that for security reasons, I am unfriending all FB friends who are not regularly using FB, and I give them my email address in case they would like to reach me.

I have also blocked former boyfriends and stalkers before they have contacted me on FB.

I have never unfriended anyone because I did not like their posts or did not like seeing comments they post on the pages that they support. Sigh.

I got blocked a few weeks ago because a high school friend disapproved of my boyfriends age calling him a pedophile for dating me and all sorts of other stuff then blocked me. It was weird and funny.

I don't think I've been blocked by anyone. I un-friended one person who I had an embarassing misunderstanding with, and I've not friended a coupla folks who've sent me requests. That's the extent of my facebook drama.

Yep I sure have.


1. I was rejected and blocked by an aunt and cousin over a year ago because I got into a fight with my other cousin who I happened to be clashing with because I did not like the way I was talked to. I got flustered and blocked my cousin and so the other two got mad at blocked me rather than tell me that it bothered them.

2. Someone else who I went to high school with unfriended me last December and then I went to re-add them and they gladly did. However, when I went to look up their address a week later to send them a holiday greeting, I found that I was blocked. This was also in addition to bragging to others on Facebook that they blocked me.

3. I was also blocked by someone else from high school who also knew the other person and did not click with them. Anyway, I went to look the other person up the other day and found that I could not see them. So I figured out that they blocked me and I have no idea why. I thought that they were more mature than that because they appeared to apologize for being mean to me in school because they were insecure. However, I am not surprised.



For the two classmates who blocked me, they did not even once tell me what bothered them. Not to mention, I don't ever focus on them as I live too far away from them now. I also have other friends who I concentrate on who are more mature and accepting. While they were both in special ed, neither one of them were really ever that interested in me to begin with and were not very nice either. They also were not on the spectrum either and had mild disabilities like ADD. In fact, they bullied me by omission too but acted like a friend to my face but never invited me to anything.

I was also blocked by a former roommate 3 and a half years ago. This was 6 years after I moved out because I did something that she did not approve of. I even wrote her and said that I was growing up and did not do those things anymore. I also tried to add her. I never got a reply and so I went to look her up and I could not find her. I also went to the sent section and noticed that I could no longer see her picture of reply.



From my standpoint, being blocked out of the blue by people is not only wasting their time but yours as well if they are going to agree to add you in the first place.

In my opinion, it's quite rude. So why do they do it?
