Blocking can be as simple as getting caught up in a chain. Iāve unintentionally blocked friendsā IT HAPPENS.
Sometimes an unblock is all in the approach.
Iām just limiting BS as much as possible. Understanding that goes a long way. DEMANDING a reason why doesnāt.

Iām obviously preaching to the choir here, but sometimes I get āWHATD I DO?!ā messages and it gets to me. More often than not, itās just being tied to toxicity and protecting myselfāespecially now with anxiety being a constant.
I get panicked because Iām being told to explain myself when it is simply a matter of āYo, this is my profile and I want to minimize drama.ā
And I wonāt even begin to get into the whole āthis happens to me and my female colleagues than our male counterpartsā but thatād be interesting.
Iāve let some stuff go in the past only to be confronted in person at conventions during panels and autographs.
Iāve had my life threatened for having a difference of opinion online. And not even something with real weight, something trivial and intangible.
Before the internet, Iād been stalked. That same sense of fear is VERY similar to the age of trolls. You just donāt know sometimes and want to play it safe.
The alternative is to not engage online at all, which is tempting at times.
But I donāt want to hide out of fear. So instead I block. Probably to a sickening degree, but thatās what makes me feel safe.
SIDE NOTE: I had to block someone on Words With Friends... WORDS WITH FRIENDS!!! A bish canāt just play OCTAVES for a 7 letter bonus without someone trying to start shit!
