It doesn’t matter if they won’t text you back immediately, you still have their contacts unblocked on your phone. You will hold on to the hope that they will end up reaching out to you one day.
This hope of them reaching out to you after they have blocked you and walked away from your life is what will make it harder for you to move on.
But when you block them after they have blocked you, this will get rid of the hope that at one point they will get back to you since you got rid of the only way they could reach out to you.
The moment you don’t have hope that someone might try to get back to you, this will make it easier for you to accept that they are no longer part of your life.
Moving on from them will be easier that way.
So, you should block someone who blocked you if you want to move on from them.
This is when you should not block someone who blocked you;
1. When you are on the reason for them blocking you.
He or she is someone you are so close to. This person ended up blocking you because you did or said something to make him or her mad.
You annoyed him or her and he had no choice but to block you everywhere.
The first thing you should think of when someone you care about blocks you is to find a way to make things right.
You should try your level best to get hold of them and try to fix the misunderstandings between the two of you.
But if you decide to block him or her after he or she blocked you while you are the reason why he or she is angry at you there’s no way you are going to fix this conflict.
He or she will just assume you don’t care about him or her at all. Trying to fix a problem will be impossible when they notice you don’t give a damn about them.
So, if you are the reason why he or she blocked you then you should not think of blocking him or her.
It will seem rather rude and disrespectful to this person.
2. When you want to fix your misunderstandings with them.
If someone blocked you but still you want to fix your misunderstandings with them you should not block them back.
How will you find a way to talk with them and resolve what happened between the two of you?
It won’t be easier when you block them after they have blocked you.
Apart from finding a way to be in touch with them, how will they perceive you when you block them?
He or she will just conclude you also don’t give a f*ck about him or her and that is why when he or she blocked you also did the same.
It’s just like when you break up with someone because of a petty issue, deep down you know when he or she isn’t mad you will try to talk to find a common ground.
You intend to pull him or her back to your life because you know when he or she isn’t mad it will be easier for you to convince him or her to come back to you.
Just after the short fight you had with him or her when you go over to his or her place to talk about your issues, you find him or her with someone else!
It has not been even a week and he or she is dating someone after you broke up because of a petty issue.
What you will conclude about him or her is that he didn’t want to fix anything with you.
He or she intentionally broke up with you because he or she didn’t want to have you in his life. Someone else occupied your space even before the breakup.
This is the same issue with blocking someone who blocked you.
If you block him or her because he or she did it, he or she will conclude that you don’t want to fix the relationship.
And it will be a reason for him or her to get far away from you.
So, you should not block someone who blocked you if you still want to fix your misunderstandings with them.
3. When they mean something to you.
If someone means something to you don’t block them after they have blocked you.
You should admit that you care about him or her. Don’t just get rid of him or her because he or she did it.
Most issues in a relationship are usually not solved by tit-for-tat games.
Sometimes when there is an argument one of you should be willing to swallow his or her pride to work things out.
There’s no way you will solve your issues if both of you cling to the fact that you didn’t do anything wrong.
One of you should be willing to calm down and apologize to make things right.
If you are debating about who should make the first move to solve the misunderstandings between the two of you, it will take years for you to make up.
When someone who means a lot to you does something to hurt your feelings, you don’t go and do something to hurt them too.
You will just have to let them be who they are and focus on what will change them.
You should just do nothing when he or she hurts you to make him or her feel guilty for what he or she did.
This person will have so many questions about why you chose not to block him or her after he or she blocked you.
Maybe it will be a reason for him or her to get back to you because of the guilt and also wanting to know why you didn’t take your revenge on them.
It will also make them realize that you are in love with them and no matter how much they hurt you, you will never bother doing the same thing to them.
So, don’t block someone who blocked you if they mean a lot to you.
This will leave an impression to them that you are still in love with them and you care about them.
Also, it will be the reason they know that you are still in love with them.
4. When you want them to still get their way to you.
If someone blocks you and decides to walk out of your life, don’t block them back if you want them to find their way to you again.
He or she has blocked you but will end up unblocking you and try to get hold of you.
When he or she unblocks you and wants to talk to you it won’t be possible if you blocked them too.
How will he or she be in touch with you after you have blocked him or her too?
It will be impossible for them to contact you if you also block them.
Trust me, when someone blocks you and you guys care about each other, at one point he or she will end up unblocking you.
And some might even try to reach out to you just to find a way to get back into your life.
So, if you want him or her to get away to be in touch with you again after he or she has blocked you, don’t block him or her back.
Lastly…
If someone blocks you don’t block them back if you are still hoping that they will end up unblocking you and try to reach out to you.
There’s no way they will reach out to you if you decide to block them back immediately after they have done it.
They usually unblock after a while. You just need to be patient and he or she will get back to you.
If you care about fixing your issues don’t even think of blocking him or her after he or she blocked you.
The moment he or she finds out too that you have blocked him or her this will make it harder for you to work your issues out.
He or she will also conclude you don’t care about him or her and you can immediately walk away from him or her the moment he or she turns his or her back on you.
And that’s not how love works.
But if someone blocks you and you don’t want anything to do with them, you should block them too to get rid of your connection with them.
