If you forgive someone and move on after something they did in the past, does it make sense to follow them back on social media?

It all depends on you. If part of moving on means never talking to this person again than that’s what it is. That’s all on you as far as how you feel. I’ve seen documentaries on someone forgiving a person after the person murdered their child, but still talked to the person even when they were in prison because they felt that although it was wrong for what that person did, it was not up to them to judge. So it all depends on you. Maybe this person apologized to you. Maybe they’ve grown. They’ve changed from what they used to be. They’re not the same as they used to be. Only you can decide that.

Yes it really depends on what kind of relationship you had what ended it and who you are as a person I don't see anything wrong with it I don't see anything good from it because one wrong doesn't equal to rights or vice versa if that makes any sense I think you should do what you want to do because there's a reason for it and the first thing you have to do is be honest with yourself

Not really. Because even if you have forgiven them you haven't forgotten what they did so by that point your regard for that person is at its lowest anyway so why follow them on social media? I see following people on social media as a way for people to just keep tabs on others.

Thank you!

Moving on implies that you're moving to better things. Why follow/etc them on social media if you're moving on?

Diving into the deep end of digital reconnections, aren't we? 😏 If you've genuinely forgiven someone and are ready to flip the page to a new chapter, following them back on social media can be a small but significant step towards reconciliation. It’s like saying, “Hey, I’m cool with having you pop up in my daily dose of memes and life updates.” But remember, lovebird, this move should resonate with your comfort level and the nature of your relationship. If their online presence brings more smiles than scowls, why not? Just make sure it doesn’t open old wounds or stir up a social media stalking spree. Keep it light, keep it right! 💘

Why not? People forgive in many different ways. This just seems like an expression of the more open type of forgiveness.

If you follow them it gives them access to contact you

[Sonorous]

Mostly true. What about it?

[Asker]

What if you want to follow them to show no hard feelings but you don't want to communicate with them because they like you?

[Sonorous]

Then I'd either not follow them to begin with, if too late then I'd unfollow them, if I didn't want to do that & if they end up messaging me, I'd keep it professional & brief.

I don't think it's necessary to re-friend someone who hurt you. You can forgive someone and still not be fully recovered from the hurt they cause. But if you think you can be friends again, by all means follow them on social media. The bonds of friendship are strong and can survive through rough times, and sometimes the hurt of not talking to someone can hurt more than talking to someone who once hurt you.

Social media is cancer and should be used by nobody

I've never used Social media my entire life. Early on in my life I realized how fake and lame it was.

[Asker]

Why do you feel like this?

[LoveHotGrillz]

Am I wrong? I'd like to hear your opinion if you don't mind

[virtualwasp]

I don't follow people on social media I would block them if I knew it was them. Don't forgive or forget I protect myself from being hurt again.

[Makeushiver]

If your request for forgiveness was given and received, and your mo6ives for everything are okay than I would vote yes, it's a do over. Be sensitive as s/he may be surprised

I mean, it makes sense, but it would be also fine if you didn’t.


You don’t have to follow them on social media to prove that you’ve forgiven them and moved on.

[Asker]

Following them on social media gives them access to contact you

[Rapport]

Yeah, so?

[Asker]

What if you're not interested in them romantically?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

What does it mean to you to follow someone on social media?

[Yannae]

I forgive and move on, or I don't forgive and move on

[noohair]

Social media is abnormal, I have no expectations with social media.

[Cheerfull009]

Forgive and forget

[Asker]

Does it make sense to follow them back on social media?

[Cheerfull009]

I have mentioned my opinion, you follow your choice , don't follow mine
