I don’t do ‘soft-blocks’
Either ask me to block you,
block me yourself,
or shut up about it.
A ‘soft block’ is way more confusing than just getting blocked
And my RSD is very “I will burn that bridge when I get to it” when the rejection feels harsh enough
I don’t consider friendships “all or nothing”, far from it, I’m happy with however little I get
But if it feels like you’re pushing me away and you don’t try to talk to me? Consider that bridge burned.
And yes, since I do have RSD oftentimes perceived rejection is enough. But I also don’t have relationship decay. So if you drop me/ tell me to go away/ ‘soft-ghost’ me, I consider that bridge burned.
I don’t always block people. But it you ‘soft blocked’ me first? Yup, definitely.
If you just stop talking/ replying to me one day, that’s cool. But also, I’m done with the friendship. Unless we previously established that our communication will have gaps that may or may not span weeks/ months. Emphasis on previously established, just let me know and the friendship is on stand-by for however long.
And while I’m here airing grievances, I would have preferred a “fuck off” to end the friendship. Instead of getting ghosted and blocked on tumblr, Facebook, WhatsApp, AO3, and Discord. Sure, I would have liked a quick explanation more than that. But since I thought we were still friends, at least let me know you’re done with me.
