Why not block your ex from social media?

dowhy not block your ex? After ending a relationship you could go through awkward moments on social media. We tell you what to do.

When we end a couple relationship, we not only cut with one person, but with a whole social circle that we create around each relationship.

And that circle, in addition to being real, also extends to the virtual world; we’re specifically referring to social media, a place in cyberspace where we’ve all been foolish when we’re excited.

Why not block your ex? 5 compelling reasons

doIt’s better to block or ignore? Although many people will advise you, the correct answer is: it depends. It depends on whether they ended on good or bad terms and how much pain it causes you to know about it. Therefore, it is best to just unfollow him. And we tell you the reasons.

1. Blocking someone is giving importance

We know that it is important, moreover, from a biological and instinctive point of view, love is the most important thing in life, however, by blocking it you could raise your ex’s ego, and it is not something you want.

2. You could look like the bad guy

Can you imagine what your ex’s mutual friends and family will say when he tells them you blocked him? Everyone will feel sorry for him and side with him and that would be unfair, if it was his fault. Don’t give him that satisfaction!

3. It’s childish to block someone just because they’re done

A mature and self-confident person does not have to block someone with whom they had a story that, even if it ended badly, had its good moments, otherwise you would not have had a relationship with that person.

That is why it is not advisable to unpublish from the networks the photos in which both appear, why? If the past they lived together cannot be erased.

In which cases is blocking on social networks not an act of immaturity?

When that person threatens, insults or mistreats you in any way or carries out a smear campaign against you; also when he uses the networks to appear as the victim and threaten to harm himself.

4. You could lose important contacts

This is the most important reason: some people, out of solidarity with your ex, might block you too and/or start a totally unnecessary virtual war.

And, one never knows, maybe in the future you will need precisely that contact for work, academic or personal matters. Remember, you are a lady and that is how you should behave online.

5. By blocking your ex, you show that you have not turned the page

You may not have actually gotten over it, but neither he nor anyone else need know about it. Since you’re not following him, you won’t have to worry about updates from him reminding you.
