Blocking is closure

I don’t mind blocking people. These days, people act like blocking should only be used in extreme situations. I honestly think that’s bullshit. Blocking can be just as clear a form of communication as anything else, it says, “You’re not part of my life anymore.”

Sure, it would suck if your best friend blocked you out of nowhere. Usually it doesn’t happen like that though. In most cases, it gives exactly the kind of closure you need. I don’t want to keep people I don’t want to deal with in my contacts or on my Instagram, even though some seem to think that’s the “decent” thing to do. I don’t block people often, but when I do it’s just because I don’t even want to think of them anymore. I have seen here people cry about someone they are not close with blocking them without closure. Seriously? Blocking is closure. “Why my ex blocked me? We didn’t even fight!” Because they want to move on from you. “Why this person I went on a one date with and haven’t talked to for a month blocked me?” “Why this friend I had falling out with blocked me?” They don’t want any drama, but at the same time they don’t want to deal with you in any way anymore. That’s it. No rocket science
