One crazy good trick for avoiding the desire to text back a man who is being crappy or giving mixed signals/an LVM...

Good tip! I also never save the names of guys I’m talking to. I usually give them identifiers like ‘bread man’ lol. I was actually surprised by how often I’d forget their names - definitely helps prevent getting attached prematurely

This really works. One of my ex's was named "I'll rather eat vomit" 1 month before I felt ok blocking him.

Remember that his average porn search is probably something like "painful anal".

It doesn’t work for me! I used to find myself texting “Jerk stood you up. NO NO NO!!!!! please stop” I have to block and delete. Well I used to. Now I could care less thankfully

Loser is tame! All the LVM in my phone have been renamed to “Lil shit head bitch”.

Although my block list grows exponentially by the day, I still love receiving constant texts from these “Lil shit head bitch” dudes for entertaining content to cackle over while having drinks with my girlfriends.

Dehumanizing someone to nothing but a fake name (as they’ve done to us) helps with the healing process, moving on, and leveling up. Preach sis.

I love this! Also another one: for iphone users, turn off your iMessage notifications in settings (not just turn off overall notifications and go on silent). I go days without checking my messages when I do this! And better yet, drop em ;)

Yes! I did this!

understatedalways · 2020-09-07T14:19:44+00:00

I totally do this too! I have a block list of Idiot 1, Shithead 2, etc haha. I have no idea who any of them even are.

This works great! I personally prefer not to block but rather to ignore. I find the increasing desperation in their messages amusing.

I used “fuck face loser ass” 😂😂😂😂 I love this thread

doesn't work on something like WhatsApp tho, where they can choose their own screen-name to pop up. Well at least you can silence their chat and attend to it when you get to it...instead of giving them the power to interrupt your day!

I used an ugly picture of him to add as a contact photo so it would remind me not to lower myself and respond to that idiot 😂

I had my ex set to Narc/Ex, I finally blocked him a month after the breakup.
