hardtocope Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 How do you block somebody in facebook? And do they receive a notice? I honestly can't keep up with all of the facebook privacy changes these days, it's getting annoying. I was looking for that function, but I couldn't find it.
Perhaps Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 How do you block somebody in facebook? And do they receive a notice? I honestly can't keep up with all of the facebook privacy changes these days, it's getting annoying. I was looking for that function, but I couldn't find it. It's under the privacy settings, somewhere - but it is definitely a good idea to go through Everything in the privacy box -- you'll be surprised how much stuff Facebook has checked off automatically that can be shared with people who aren't even your friends.
What_Next Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Ditch facebook. I know it has been said here already, but IMHO facebook is a scourge, as are most if not all social networking sites. Perhaps its because I work in techology, but I can't stand anything to do with any of these new fads. Or maybe it's because I am getting grumpy. Don't let things like facebook complicate your life.
Bolts Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 So not much moving on happened in the last month, then, DWBH? Your obesessing over this guy has now definitely outlasted the two-month LDR itself. I fear you are falling square into the category of 'full-time miserablist'. Hence - you now have the choice: Choose to keep thinking obesessively about his every move, like this ^^ OR Stop. And think about something else, instead. Whenever you begin to think about him, stop. Tell yourself it's not healthy. You REALLY don't want to. You're NOT going to and choose to think about something that makes you feel happier, instead. All your good points, all the stuff that will help restore your very damaged sense of self-esteem. Who gives a toss if he's blocked and unblocked you? It was a TWO month LDR! You only met him a few times! If you must: block him then don't look at your block list until you're well and truly over him. There's no reason for you to look at it in-between, is there?? Just make life easier for yourself. Stop choosing to be all angst-ridden. And tell us about the GOOD things you've been getting up to since you were last here. I'm all ears. x My lord.. this is so healthy I am going to steal this advice and perspective and apply it to my own "almost" 4 months of living hell!!! I love it! Okay.... i am going to go land a 3 month gig this week, which will allow me to sign up at 24hour fitness AND surf lessons for the coming week... how is that!!! 1
mickleb Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) My lord.. this is so healthy I am going to steal this advice and perspective and apply it to my own "almost" 4 months of living hell!!! I love it! Okay.... i am going to go land a 3 month gig this week, which will allow me to sign up at 24hour fitness AND surf lessons for the coming week... how is that!!! Hmmn, I detect a hint of sarcasm.. I would say, if you make your goals achievable, Bolts, you will probably be successful. I couldn't seem to find where you explained how long you and your ex were together but I found some other interesting information, instead: I understand this opinion... however... i met the love of my life when i was 33 and she was 18. I was not tapping her for my ego... nor was I just out of a relationship (had not dated for 10 years)... i want to live the rest of my days with her... I have a wrath of issues unresolved within myself regarding my ex, who proposed to me 1 day before moving to California ahead of me (2 months ahead of me), dumped me in 5 days and got involved with a marine 2 months later... just before i returned. I have had the grace from god to find my soulmate/true love. Its a nightmare story that I am currently living... (sorta crazy as she is so young and very torn between the love of her sister, who hate me although has never met me, and myself, but thats for another time)... Fact is... it has taught me that soulmates and true love DOES exist. And until you find yours, it is so easy to "pish-posh" the concept. Problem is... you WILL meet them. I did not date for 10 years until one day, like an A-bomb, she walked into my life. The caution is... PEOPLE... WAIT TILL YOU FIND THEM!!! THEY REALLY ARE OUT THERE, AND THE COURSE OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE WILL LEAD YOU TO THEM!!!! AND WHEN YOU FIND THEM... NEVER LET GO. For me its been 2 1/2 months and have done every possible thing to drive her as far away as I could... not intentionally, but outof passion, anger, love and hurt. The smoke is clearing... slowily. The battlefield is that is showing is worst than the smoke. I still want her back as she is the one... i am willing to forgive, but she is way to young to understand. And she too is with another... 2 months to the day. Her parents and I... we all see a proposal and marriage coming... so maybe you dont have it so bad yet... You are not alone. When you cry in your bed at night, your not alone. When you cant eat, you dont eat alone. When you long to hold them close, your not alone. When you pray for their thoughts, your not alone. You appear to switch your perspective on what the issue was. There definitely were many. She was 18, proposed to you then ditched you and is already with another guy she may marry. You hadn't dated for 10 years before you met her. You think of her as your soulmate and, even though you are convinced you 'have done everything possible to drive her away', you still chat about her new boyfriend with her parents? You could be commitment phobic and have turned this into a massive fantasy that beats your living reality, hands down. I don't know, so I say 'could'. Your avatar is very revealing. You like a bit of drama and you do seem to want to hold on tight to this relationship. She was not your soulmate, Bolts. Unless you choose to make her that. And choose never to move on from her as you appear to have promised yourself: 'when you find them never let go'. Good luck in figuring out why you might want to do that. (If I was wrong about the sarcasm, I would still look into why you couldn't eat three months after the break-up before you try landing that three-month gig and surfing lessons. The gym can't hurt, though.) Take care. x Edited June 4, 2010 by mickleb Typos, typos everywhere
