Is it normal my old friend blocked me on social media?

22% Normal

I saw a guy on social media I used to enjoy talking to in school and thought I would see what he's been up to lately, so I messaged him basically saying it's been awhile and asked how he was doing and what he's been up to these days. He blocked me. We never got into any fights or anything and I can't think of anything I did to upset him at any point in time.

If it matters, he's a guy and I'm a girl.

Do you think what I did was out of line or came off wrong?

I know I shouldn't care too much since we haven't seen each other in a long time but I hope I wasn't creepy.

Probably has some jealous G/F like Rose said.

How do you know he blocked you? I don't know much how social media works.

  I went to check to see if he responded (my notifications can be weird on my phone) and it said I couldn't reply to the conversation, which means blocked.

    Is there a chance he blocked you by mistake?
    Sometimes the block button on certain things would be real easy to hit by mistake.
    
    Maybe try another route?
    
    Not that I know anything but just a wild guess is he didn't block on purpose.
    
    EDIT - if this was on FB, I didn't think one could even send a message unless you were "friends". I thought it just went to the junk folder?

      I would like for that to be it but I think it asks if you're sure you want to block the person and you have to confirm it.
      
      When I get messages from people I'm not friends with, it usually tells me that such-and-such person would like to connect with me or something like that last I checked anyway.

I've never blocked someone personally, but I have deleted accounts when too many old friends tried to add me. My own reasoning is because I knew too many messed up people. Even though I actually still liked some of the people I cut out of my life, they were associated with some of those shady people. I simply didn't want the drama in my life. I would do it to make a very simple statement: I don't want to be anything more than a memory in their life.
I'm not saying this person has the same reasons, but I'm saying it is possible that he has a decent reason that isn't really a personal thing towards you.

Rude and unnecessary but ultimately his loss. Sometimes the trash takes itself out.

  True. Maybe he's not the person he used to be. Some of my other friends have changed for the worse too.

    I know what you mean, I’m 23 and despite my best efforts most of my secondary school friendships have broken down. Age makes some people more open-minded and self-aware and others more self-absorbed and judgmental.

I dunno, maybe he's a jerk? Did ya'll have any sort of falling out, or disagreement in the past? Maybe he has a really jealous girlfriend?

  No, I can't think of anything. Last time I talked to him everything was fine. We just lost touch.

    It's just weird. Maybe something happened that was subtle that you didn't even notice?

      Maybe but the last time we talked he acted like everything was fine and he was happy to see me. If something was wrong I wish he would just say something so at least I would know. I never thought about the thing about a jealous girlfriend, that could be it too. I'm not sure if he's in a relationship or not but that makes sense if she saw a girl messaging him it could bother her if she's jealous.

I would just let it go ...
Move on . He clearly didn't want to start up a friendship with you .
Do not make a new account you're wasting you're time and energy on someone who just doesn't want to talk to you . That happens . Rejection stings .

  I definitely wouldn't start up a new account. I figure if someone doesn't want to talk to me badly enough they block me from doing so, it would be highly inappropriate to try to force them to.

  I don't think he has any other accounts and if it is him who blocked me I don't want to be extra creepy or overbearing or anything. I think if it's a jealous GF or something that she probably monitors any other accounts he would have if he has any too.

    You got it wrong. I meant to you open a new account and use it to contact him. So he won't know it's you and don't tell him it's you first, just ask how he is doing. Then when he asks who you are, tell him the truth and ask him why he blocked you. get me now ??

He's a fucking garbage shithead. I am so sorry you've to go through this shitty situation in friendship and having to feel guilty about possibly offending him when you supposedly did nothing wrong at all.

Breathe in, breathe out. Feel the energy enter your lungs with every breath coming closer and closer to a euphoric state. This is what we practiced when we were first on land.

Well, if he's going to be an immature little fuckwit and ignore you for no reason (that we know of) then screw him, what do you care?

  You're right. I guess I'm just worried I came off creepy or did something wrong for reaching out to him out of the blue.

    Nah, there's nothing creepy about simply saying hello to someone you hadn't talked to since school. If he doesn't want to answer that's up to him, just forget it and move on.

No that's not normal. Kinda rude to just block an old friend instead of maturely saying you're not interested in any contact especially if he has no reason to.

  I think so too. If there was anything I did which I'm 99.999% sure there wasn't, but he could've just told me.

      If that's true I wish he would've just been honest and not pretended to be my friend then. There was nothing that happened between us since last I knew we were both friendly towards each other.
