“Have you ever blocked someone not because you didn’t care, but because it hurt too much to keep them close?

I don't block anyone. You'll never get back a lost moment to speak again.

I've been blocked, but that is there issue. I'll wait patiently if they ever want to come back. If they don't, there is nothing I can do.

I was on the other end of the "Blocking because they're too close." thing and all I can say is it breaks you.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I have blocked a past girlfriend once, some time after a breakup I initiated, because I couldn't bear anymore how she was torturing herself mentally, and me at the same time as I spectated it. That hurt because I was sensitive to her hardship.

I have been blocked by a girlfriend after a breakup she initiated caused by events that were out of our reach, I think she did the right thing, she had discipline I didn't have. So I think she was in the case you named. Impossibility is something that hurts way too much.

Yeah, dudes always like to come back when you are trying to get over them, so blocked it is lol.

[DishLady]

True.

[Nikki1989]

I have never blocked anyone in the real world. However websites like this one have very little to do with the real world as I know it so I block idiots when needed.

No I think other than social media sites like this one, blocking people in real life is cowardice.

I ended a relationship because I cared too much and she cared not enough.

[capriVib]

I didn't do it bc i didn't want to show that i cared about it.

When I first came down ill I pushed everyone away so they didn't have to witness the decline.

No. But I have had to block a woman because all she wanted to do was exploit me. And she wasn't above using my fondness for her as bait.

[Asker]

It’s interesting how some people claim they were ‘exploited’ by someone they weren’t even honest with. No one asked them to lie or hide who they were. Some of us showed up with honesty — but I guess that was too much to return. Strange how the one who couldn’t be real ends up feeling like the victim

[hello4433]

Nope, I've only blocked people who are trouble

[qwerty2469]
