Of course people have rights to keep talking to whoever they want to be talking. But if the person doesn’t want to talk to you or respond back, how far these rights are going to get you? Not far

I don’t think it has anything to do with control. If the person doesn’t want to talk to you, leaving them doesn’t mean you give them control. It’s the other way around. It means you take your own life in your hands.

Continue begging and pleading and finding other ways to contact them is giving them more control. The guy sees how much control he has over her that she stops at nothing finding ways to contact him and keeps begging to be unblocked. He has all the control here and she has none.

She’ll be in way more control if she refused to pursue men who block her and treat her badly. That’s being in control. Chasing these completely unsuitable men isn’t being in control of anything. It is giving all the control to these messed up guys.
