I experienced this before and I did nothing. Just let them do what they want to do. As for yourself, be mature enough to not act the same way and focus on yourself more.

sometimes people block people not to be rude, but to not have any memory of the person so they could move on easier. So I wouldn't take it personally, we all grieve differently.

When my ex has blocked me, i don’t get mad or feel bitter about her or about what happened. I just accept it. Being bitter makes your life hard. You will always carry a baggage deep inside you and feel miserable about it. This situation is common every breakups. Some people think that this can help them move on but some think they’re just bitter about what happened. It depends in each and every one of us. But at the end of the day you ask yourself this, “if i let this affect me, what good will it bring me?” The cycle of life always teaches you to accept then let go, and finally you move on.

For Girls: You cry a little bit, feel your feels girl. And then you have a photo shoot with (or without) your friends and you get all dolled up and sexy and you flaunt it! Get yourself to realize that he's missing out. He might be getting a snack, but honey you are the whole damn meal! For guys: You are so unique and you deserve the best girl you can get. If she blocked you, good. Better to get blocked and have your heart broken than taken advantage of. Find a girl who treats you like her king and that deserves to be your queen.

Try to accept the situation and slowly overcome the situation, try to move on. It's okay to have been blocked by someone, it basically corresponds to the fact that they want to stop any sort of contact with you. It means they want to distance themselves from you. And you should accept it with grace, dignity. Yes, it might sting a little, hurt a little more, you might cry a bit, you might feel a sense of anger, but in the end, you'll grow. You will learn to accept what happened and move on. The absolute no in this case is to contact them anyhow.

When my ex blocked me, I had a hard time moving past constantly communicating with her on imessage on social media. One technique I used to mentally move past her was to delete my social media, and just move past it mentally with other things. Find something you enjoy, such as a new hobby, and mentally focus yourself on that hobby. Maybe your new hobby will introduce you to a new group of people, which in turn you will meet new people to communicate with on a regular basis. It may also give you a new outlook on life which may benefit you more than you would think.

The short answer is very simple, but perhaps not so easy: move on. Long answer is thank the memory of them, and start weaning yourself off of them. Put as many things that remind you of them out of sight as you can. You can get rid of them entirely if you want, but maybe you're like me, and your love language is gifts, in which case you may repurpose their gifts and attach new memories to them instead. Take care of your body and your mind. Excercise, healthy diet, get into hobbies, teach yourself something new, go on walks in nature, make music, anything to make you feel alive in natural, healthy ways! Good luck, take your time processing emotions, and remember that you're free to attract better things now
