Blocked on Facebook and baffled as to why

Post Reply New Topic

People have this ability to act like such cowards on Facebook. When it does come to this friend that blocked you OP, did she ever comment on anything on your Facebook or click the like button on anything at all? That should be a telling sign of what she felt/thought of you as well. Also keep in mind that it's easier for a lot of people to see who is friends with who on Facebook and some might even criticize others for their choice of friends. Some aren't equipped to deal with the criticism they face and in turn will block good friends just to stay within the popular crowd. Your choice if you want a real explanation from this girl or even want to forgive her, but I would just move on and forget about her.

I haven't used Facebook in ages as it made me feel really bad, however one suggestion I might make is, is it easy to accidentally block people?
A few sites I've used have block on a right click drop down menu next to view profile etc and I've had issues before where I've been blocked by accident and then unblocked when the person realises.

Saying that NT people act very strangely on Facebook. There were a few people I could talk to at school and after I finished I tried to add them on Facebook, about twenty-thirty of the people I got on ok to well in classes, at least eight or so of them never accepted my friends request, despite them having 400+ friends and that they would speak to me if they saw me somewhere.

Overall I think Facebook is a bad influence on our emotions.

Social interaction on Facebook is often really weird.
I'm rapidly becoming sick of the whole thing, and I was never that thrilled with it even to begin with.

I wish there was a way to deactivate the whole social side of things (at least temporarily) but while allowing you to keep accessing your newsfeed in order to enjoy keeping up with your interests.

Hmm (strokes chin) maybe to replicate that effect I could make a second FB profile which has nobody added as friends, and without joining any groups.... then just add all of my interests to it & set up similar themed sub-newsfeeds.

You can block your friends updates etc from your newsfeed. I've done that and only see the interesting pages I want to see. I've created a 'no-list' for almost all of my fb-friends. They see less of my profile and vice versa. Only if I feel masochistic I go and see what's up with the no-list people There is really a lot of visibility-choices you can make on fb, take advantage of those and you can enjoy the good parts of it and socialize if and when you feel like it.

Hey, thankyou for telling me.
I shall examine the FB security settings in more detail.

"Baffling" is the perfect word for that kind of behavior! It's happened to me too. I've talked to others and it's happened to them.

She probably only considered you to an "associate," rather than an actual friend and removed you for that reason. Why she blocked you, though, instead of simply just removing you from her friends list I don't know, could be a number of reasons. I would just take it as it is a move on.

I kinda like Facebook. All those old school friends I haven't seen years Just chatting to them about nonsense like I haven't seen them for 15 days instead of 15 years.

No one blocked me so far

I so understand the feeling of being blocked on Facebook. An old friend of mine whom I have known since 5th Grade blocked me from being her facebook friend back in early 2009. Needless to say I was very upset, and hurt. However, the good news is.. she apologized this past November for the mistakes she made in our friendship. But, I am still on her facebook blocked list. Maybe she forgot after all this time that she blocked me? It could be any number of reasons why I am still blocked by my longtime friend.

Ouch, that must hurt. The girl you are thinking of marrying ..actually blocked you on Facebook.
