If someone you care about has blocked your number, unfriended you on social media, or ghosted you on Whatsapp, it’s reasonable to be disconcerted and even traumatized. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re angry or sad—it’s a totally normal reaction to someone you were into just shutting you out. That’s why we’re here to show you what you can do to try and win them back. In the event that they don’t change their mind, we’ll also walk you through what you might do to move on. This says more about them than it does about you, so try not to be too hard on yourself here.

QuestionI'm hurt because they never told me anything before blocking me. We were having a nice conversation, and next thing you know, they've blocked me hours later. Are there any other ways I can find out why?Community AnswerJust be chill. Unless you know them in person, you will not be able to find out why. The same happened to me also, but you can't force anyone to talk to you. I can understand that you are hurt, but wait and be chill, it is going to be all right.
