Loads of people are blocking me on Facebook

I am so upset, I keep having tons of people block me on Facebook and I don't know why!! Its all these people from my church group and this other church group I go to and its like all of them hate me and are talking about me and are blocking me and I don't know why

so when you see them next at church, as them why

How can you tell your being blocked?

I'm not blaming you, but is there something that you could have done to ONE person and that person has diarrhea of the mouth and told everyone, thereby convincing everyone to hate you? (Classy, I know!) Group mentality can be pretty disgusting, and its even worse in a church setting. Me thinks a few people are forgetting the word of God and the teachings of Jesus! Even if you did something wrong, so what? Jesus would have taken you under his arm and helped you, not cast you aside! (Can you tell that hypocritical church goers really irk me? Yes, I am a Christian.)

I hate FB and this is why. FB is not good for mentally ill people. We are too fragile for all that crap. If you are brave, try to stay off of it and live your life.

I created another account for this purpose.

I don't know what you mean by "block". Are they friends? People often have their pages set up for their immediate friends and families. That's not about you, it is just what they are doing in their own lives. The only people I know who befriend anyone who asks are those playing games where it matters how many "friends" you have. Just because you go to the same church as these people, if you are not good friends there, I would not worry about not being friends on facebook.

I'm with lilypup, I hate FB and think it's really destructive for sensitive people, or people with self-esteem issues or people who feel like outsiders. I've seen to many people feel totally crushed by someone un-friending them in a snit. So ... I'd recommend that if FB is causing you distress that you get off it ... but, hey, I know that's unlikely. That just happens to be my standard rant. I hope you will at least consider it.

Now, to something more constructive and more likely. I don't know why people might be blocking you or unfriending you. If they're all from your church groups, it's likely that something happened that caused some sort of offense and it could be as ChipperMonkey said, that one person took offense at something and is blabbing to everyone else.

If this was happening to me, I'd go to the pastors of my church groups and ask for guidance. Maybe you're doing something that's violating the churches' doctrines or group norm. Maybe someone has just formed an unfair idea about you.

If many people in the church groups are excluding you, it really is the pastors' business. I hope you'll talk to them soon and really listen to their response if they tell you there's something you've done that violated church norms. Maybe you'll want to leave the groups, or maybe you'll want to correct your actions. Maybe the pastor will ask someone else to correct their actions. Or maybe people will be asked to remember the Golden Rule. There are many options available.

Talk to the pastor as soon as you can and listen with an open mind. I wish you the best.

I swear Facebook is going to be the downfall of mankind.

I agree with the above .. Just ask them why?

I dont really understand how making a new account is going to find out who is blocking you online

People need to sort out their Facebook terminology. What the TS talks about, is BLOCKING. What the rest of you talk about, is DEFRIENDING.

Now, I am an unofficial social media expert (what can I say, I am an extrovert, I have an almost sickening need to express myself) and I know the difference. I have been blocked once by a guy from my school who I argued with a lot, I think he wasn't used to women looking past his pretty exterior and telling him he was a narcissistic bastard, but enough about that.

Anways, when someone BLOCKS you, they don't just defriend you. They make themselves "invisble" to you. If you search for them, you can't find their profile. You can't see anything they post, not even in groups you both are in or on a shared friend's wall. In other words, to you they don't exist on Facebook. Getting a separate accounts works because if you THEN can find them and see what they write, then you know for sure they have blocked your primary account.

So it seems like TS has experienced this, which is very unpleasant - especially if many people do it.

Can you think of anything that could've ticked them off? Political posts can do that, or inappropriate posts (over-sharing, sexually related posts etc.), but it could also be something you've done or said to someone in the church group who has "spread the word". I would actually just ask, even if it is a bit awkward, to find out. It's possible you have been misunderstood or it's possible those people are really bastards.

Best wishes to you in this

I think this pretty much sums it up.
