Narcissist Behavior Q&A

🔁 Blocked, unblocked, blocked again

Digging for the meaning behind each block and unblock only shakes you further. Quietly write down how much the repeating cycle is costing you.

The short answer

Rather than the meaning of the block, look at when the contact came — and what it did to your days.

Scenes like this

  • After the block came a tender message, then disappearance again.
  • When you responded, you got blame — or denial that there was ever a relationship.

How to tell the difference

Is this someone finishing a breakup once — or a repeating loop of reaching out and cutting off?

When this happens, try this

  • Don't react instantly to the sudden message. Write out, in your notes, the limits of contact you're willing to accept.
  • If nothing practical remains to settle between you, keeping the block on or muting notifications — guilt-free — is what protects your peace.
