Anyone else feel hurt by being blocked on instagram or facebook?

[Anonymous]

Backstory: I've had a hard time getting out of a dysfunctinal friends with benefits situation. I'm addicted to it. No matter how hard I try I keep coming back to it! (even though it has not been as good as it was before). After a very long hiatus, I decided to accept his latest advances and we made plans to start hooking up again. Ironically that same night I got a kind of divine intervention cock block. A mutual acquaintance, drunk at the bar, starts showing me these texts from this guy who she claims can't stop stalking her who she's been hooking up with. It's the same dude. I text him that I'm getting a play by play of his sexts to someone else, and he laughs and asks if he can tell her. He did. To me that's a jerk move, and I let him know. My rant led to him threatening to block me so he could sleep, and I begged him to block my texts and facebook... repeatedly. He didn't, and said my texts didn't bother him, because my opinion of him didn't matter. Now, a week later, after weeks of both of us seeing each others posts, I made a comment on his instagram (nothing mean but probably annoying). Now I finally got my wish, he blocked me on instagram and facebook, but I feel terrible (even though it's probably for the best). I also asked him via text "why block me if he doesn't care?". Well, he responded briefly so he hasn't blocked my texts... yet. Hopefully now It'll be easier to ignore him and move on but I still feel sad, and hurt, and angry over being blocked. No more facebook stalking will hopefully allow me to finally move on, but part of me still hoped to hold on I guess. Who knew an app could have that kind of effect. Has anyone else ever blocked someone, or have been blocked, and had strong feeling about it? How long before it faded? This all just happened today, but I'm hoping to be over it by morning lol.

Yes, I dated a girl who possibly has borderline personality disorder or is narcissistic block me on instagram, snapchat, etc even though she was in the wrong.

We had a short fling going on and then one day she invited me to her place and everything went great until the end when she asked me to go to her bedroom and found a condom wrapper that was clearly from another guy. We were supposed to go to a music fest later that week that she asked me to go to, then i texted her 3 days after that night, no response. Thought she was embarrassed at first, but instead she blamed it on me. I tried calling her 3 days later, no response and then she texted me later saying im not interested in pursuing then deleted me from snapchat and blocked me from everything else like it was my fault.

This person points me out to her friends when I see her at concerts and is a piece of shit.

The girl I fell in love with and dated for 8 months broke up with me on good terms, then proceeded to herself (not me) go NC and block me on social media... that hurt me. I heard from mutual friend it was her way to put space between us so she can move on, which begs the question, why did she dump me if it was that hard?

Yeah, my ex blocked me on Facebook right after we broke up which was so weird because he wanted to stay friends. I didn't say I wanted to get back with him or anything like that soooo it's still a mystery to me. I'm blocked on his Facebook, but he still texts me first? Like I don't even have to initiate wtf

I have a feeling I'll get a drunk text in a few months if history is any indicator. Hopefully he'll be a distant memory by then. My guess in your situation is that he doesn't want to see you in his feed, which he can't control, so he blocked you. You also can't see what he's up to. He can control when he texts you though, so that's fine.

Yeah, after you keep having to deal with his immature behavior, he'll become a complete turn off lol thanks for the input, though. I think you're right!
