I know this will sound like such a trivial problem to some of you but honestly I am on the verge on a panic attack just thinking about it. I am young, 21 and this feels big right now so I wanted advice.

I spent the majority of my 6 months since breaking up on Spotify and it felt like my safe haven. Now I actually feel like my space has been violated and like this is a HUGE invasion of privacy. Might sound silly, don’t care.

I swear I stopped following him and deleted our playlists even before we broke up but apparently the unfollowing didn’t work. Went on Spotify to delete some old friends and found him there.

Looked it up and apparently YOU CANT BLOCK PEOPLE. What the fuck???

I have cultivated my Spotify playlists for years and each are very very extremely personal to me. I am fairly certain he would not be following me on purpose but I am disgusted that he could have access to my personal playlists if he wanted to. Now I am FOREVERMORE using the “private session” feature and making playlists secret.

Should I delete my account and start afresh even if it will be a heck ton of work to build it up again? My FDS gut says yes. My sister also volunteered to contact him and ask him to unfollow me but I really don’t want contact EVER again. I know thats not the answer, don’t worry.

What makes this even worse for me is that when I went on his page to see if I could block him, I allowed myself to get sucked in and read some of his playlist names. I made a huge mistake. One of them was called “damn, in love again” which makes me want to simultaneously vomit and sob. You can tell I’m not exactly in a strong headspace right now ahahah
