That sick SOAB

This is why I block on social media...or just don't friend or follow them unless I'm pretty sure of where things are going.

I don't want to have any spark of feeling coming back up by seeing his tiny little profile picture show up in the views...I'm not good enough for a relationship with him, but I'm good enough to hold onto virtually and watch from a distance? Sounds like a version of mate guarding in a way. Boy, bye.

Why do they do this?

I feel attacked

This is true. I’m ready to date again and meet someone new, it’s been 8 months and I’m healed. I’ll start dating again when quarantine ends

Exactly. Move on because he’s going to lie to others and say he’s the victim anyways

I’m not always the best at blocking numbers, but any guy I’ve been involved with romantically and it did not work out is getting blocked from my social media instantly. It just sucks constantly thinking “what will he thinks of this” every time you post...nah, sis.

*but you should, "focus on you" instead obsessing over the guy who ghosted you but continues to watch your instastory.

Just my little tweak.

Lmao as of this year I’ve created a new rule where I won’t add a guy I’m dating on social media unless we get into an actual, official relationship. Prevents shit like this from happening, and also keeps me from lurking and trying to see what he’s up to, if he’s dating others or if he ghosts.

That, or you can just delete him. Social media kills and leads to unhealthy obsession — “Omg he’s watching all my stories what does it mean,” Who are these two girls he just followed” etc. etc.

It's me. I needed to hear this, lol. Been in my feelings about a boy who ghosted me in 2018, last time I was living/working in the States. Since I've been home, he's started liking my Insta posts now and again and watching my stories. After he ghosted me. And I still think about him sometimes and kinda miss him. Sigh.

I used to do this back in my pickmeisha days, then I decided to level up and block them. Out of sight out of mind.

what do you ladies think about this?

got in a relationship and blocked him, became single and we had a hook up. during that hook up he added me on the only social media platform i have and my drunk ass allowed it. But i'm completely turned off by him again. He watches literally every single thing I post on social media. Def want to block again, for good, but i know the texts will come, emails, icloud msgs. It's happened before. I do not respond to his texts or social media stalking. This Guy literally always finds a way to be... available (annoying to me now).

i had to laugh out loud when i saw this post. why are nvm, lvm, ALL THE SAME.

*EDIT - blocked but would still love your thoughts on WHY guys DO THIS SHIT. :)
