He blocked me before I could explain myself
There’s a guy I used to talk to and we had a misunderstanding recently. We both decided to stop talking without any hard feelings. The thing is… I think he expected me to reach out again after a few days but I never did.
Not because I didn’t care.
Honestly, I cared too much.
For the last 6 days, I've checked his Instagram profile countless times, typed messages, deleted them, overthought everything… but never actually got the courage to text him. I was dealing with a lot mentally during that time too and I genuinely thought giving space was the mature thing to do.
But from his side, it probably looked like I didn’t care enough to come back. And yesterday he blocked me.
And I don’t know why this hurts so much because technically we already stopped talking before that… but being blocked made everything feel final.
The worst part is that I can’t even explain myself anymore.
I know I made mistakes. I know silence can hurt people. Maybe most of this misunderstanding is my fault only.
I just wish he knew that not reaching out doesn’t always mean someone stopped caring. Sometimes people go quiet because they’re overwhelmed, scared, confused or emotionally exhausted.
Now I keep opening Instagram hoping maybe he unblocked me, even though I know he probably won’t anytime soon.
I don’t even know what I expect from posting this here. Maybe I just needed to let it out somewhere or maybe I am here for suggestions.
