London_girl_1985 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I work in social media and have not been on my personal twitter for A MONTH. I have blocked my ex on FB but you can't do that on Twitter I have been no contact for 4 weeks. We broke up 6 weeks ago. I said to myself I wouldn't sign in to twitter until I was over him, but I'm wondering if it's better for me to go on NOW and look at his profile OR wait another few months. What's been helping me get through the last month or so is not seeing his name anywhere. I know if I see him in my twitter feed I'll freak out because it will remind me that he A, exists, and B, is happy without me. But is it better to see that going on now than to see it in 2 months? Or is the key to getting over someone not checking their social media until you're well and truly through the worst? I can't believe Twitter won't let you block people!!
flightplan Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 No, but you can close the account. I've never had any social media accounts and managed to survive without FB, Twitter, etc. Maybe for your own personal sanity, you close this stuff down.

I wouldn't go on there right now. If you see something you don't want to it's only going to hurt you and prolong the healing process . You need to heal before doing that. Once you reach indifference and know it won't hurt to see who he's with or how he's doing, that's when you can go back. Doing so now is only setting yourself up for more sadness. I know it's hard but don't do it. I'm going through the same thing. Keep acting as if he doesn't exist. *hugs*
JDPT Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Don't go anywhere near it and save yourself future grief. It boils down to curiosity which in return will pay you with pain. I've learned through experience that absolutely nothing good comes out of "snooping" around. I rather not know then formulate fictitious scenarios that will essentially set me back to square one leaving me all alone to pick myself up once again. Be strong, shift your thoughts towards more productive activities. Focus on you, and hold yourself at high regards.
