#i rightfully blocked a dude who got my phone number and was immediately like 'send me a selfie of you right now'

[xoshepard]

why does blocking someone feel so much like a personal affront holy shit

one of the guys from the apps invited me to play sdv and he was cool for the first half and then for the whole second half of the conversation he was telling me about all the bad stuff that's happened for his whole life, barely leaving any gaps in his monologue for me to relate or respond AT ALL like i could barely be like "oh that's sad" bc he just kept talking and it is already a red flag to me when someone meets you and immediately starts telling you how tragic their life is, but im trying not to be so judgmental. so we've played once or twice since then and it's always the same but without the first half of the convo being fun, he just complains the whole time, and i didn't wanna just block bc it felt kinda mean but ??? idk man i don't rly know the guy and i definitely don't want to date him bc he's sooo negative and self centered (he's also a streamer and i'm starting to feel like cis male streamers are just Extremely Obnoxious irl) but i for some reason got it in my head that i wouldn't mind staying friends with him and was trying to figure out how to explain that to him

but nicki was like "JUST BLOCK HIM DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT"

so i blocked him but i do still kinda feel guilty bc he effectively was just annoying and i guess to me blocking someone feels like a punishment for being truly heinous not just mildly annoying shskdhns
