highly recommend blocking ppl just because u don't like their vibe. even if they seem nice and haven't done anything wrong, but you just don't like them for reasons you can't articulate? slam that block button. your experience on this website will be improved for it. blocking isn't a moral judgment its just a way to exercise control over your space
I mean, yes, but also consider that people who have RSD, self-esteem issues, and/or a history of bullying/ostracization can be severely triggered by getting blocked for no reason. It can send people into spirals of overanalyzing what they could have done wrong and drowning in feelings about how they’re terrible and everybody hates them. Spirals like that can last for hours or days and be extremely debilitating. While I understand the intent here of curating your own space and making your experience as stress-free as possible, you need to understand there can be consequences of that that you’re totally unaware of. And if you don’t feel you should have to worry about other people’s mental health or you don’t have the energy to, that’s fine, block away, but this is something I think needs to be said and not nearly enough people understand or consider.
hi! if you come into my space and make me uncomfortable I’m completely within my rights to remove you from my space and don’t owe you any explanation. I have adhd and struggle with rsd and I know what it’s like but I’m going to be completely blunt - if a stranger on the internet who you’ve never interacted with blocks you, and that sends you into a spiral, that’s not their fault and is something you need to discuss with a therapist. it is not my problem, just like my reaction to being blocked is not your problem. it’s really, really not cool to make your symptoms and your disordered thinking other people’s responsibility
