Blocked on Instagram, but still friends on Facebook?

[magicallydelicious]

Long story short, I got in a huge fight about a week and a half ago with the guy I had been dating for about three months after a party where we were drinking and I said some things I really didn’t mean and he left and told me the next day I made him feel like **** and he had panic attacks after leaving etc. I apologized profusely, told him that I didn’t mean those things, and had a few issues of my own to sort out. He said he needed time to think, he has some abandonment issues, etc. I told him that I would honor whatever he needed. The next day he told me that he thinks it’s best that he works through some things from the past with his therapist and now is not the time to date anyone. I told him that I want what’s best for him, I just find it hard to give up on something that was going so well until that fight. I told him I’m here if he ever wants to talk, but respect his need to sort through his issues.

 

Then later I realized he was back on the dating app that we had met on (through a friend’s profile—I didn’t reactivate mine). I also realized a few days later that he had blocked me from seeing his Instagram story, but we were still friends. Cut to yesterday, he unfollowed me on Instagram and this morning I noticed that he blocked me completely. The thing is that we’re still friends on Facebook, and I know he’s been active on Facebook too.

 

Why would he block me on one social media platform and not another? We haven’t talked since I sent that message and I haven’t tried to reach out to him or even like any of his posts. It’s been strictly no contact.

I'm not sure I even believe the stuff about a therapist. But it doesn't matter,...the guy is not emotionally balanced.

Now as far as people getting drunk and saying things they don't mean.... That ain't what happens. What happens is that people get drunk,...lose their Filter,...and then they say what they REALLY DO mean.

So the truth is that he had been annoying you for a while, there were things about him that you do not like and were not happy about,...and when you got drunk and lost your Filter,...you said what you were really thinking. The fact that he "lost it" and had whatever he is calling a "panic attack" just shows you that he is not someone who can handle stress, or will stand up to you when he needs to, and he certainly won't be able to be relied upon to get you through tough times in the future. Instead you will have to get him though the tough times.

 

As far as FB,...he probably just forgot. He'll drop you on FB when he remembers.

Because he is much more invested in Instagram than Facebook. He probably keeps more of his personal life on Instagram and doesn't want you to have a chance of seeing it, but he doesn't care about what you see on his FB.

 

If someone goes to the trouble of blocking you, they aren't interested in talking to you ever again, full stop. Doesn't matter if he forgot to block you on FB or is ambivalent about it. He doesn't want to talk to you, so you may as well block/mute him and let it go.
