some time ago i had a misunderstanding with one myLot user. i knew that i was unfollowed the moment i saw this users response, because i wanted to message them and i couldn't. however, i kept following, hoping we'll talk things out, but then i realized that i'm blocked. i'm fine with that, we all got our own ways to deal with things that bother us. 
moving onto the interesting part – after that happened, i noticed that some of myLot users we both interacted with stopped following me or responding to my discussions. i'm just wondering what happened there. i literally said nothing bad to anyone (not even the person that blocked me), but for some reason people keep unfollowing. i mean, that's completely fine, but it just feels weird when i don't feel like i said anything to cause that 
And then i remembered @prexie 's discussion where she asked if she ever said something wrong or hurt anyone, so it inspired me to ask the same question – have i ever said something that hurt you?
please let me know – in response or message. i don't want to be the bad guy here 
have you ever had such misunderstanding with people on myLot?

maybe it was on accident or maybe you just didn't know you said something that upset them

I accidentally blocked someone before.

But all is well now.
As I commented on that post, we are different from each other. Sometimes even if you did not intend to offend someone, they thought what you said might be offending to them. Those people are sensitive.
I don't think your post or comments are offending

blocking on accident is different, i'm talking about blocking on purpose and what was the reason for it.
i agree with you, but maybe it's just me - if someone hurt me but then offered me to talk to understand the situation better, i would try to do so instead of blocking them and avoiding possibility to make things good.
i'm glad everything's fine with us

But what will you do if you commented on some posts but do not commented back either on your comment or you post?

@rakski nothing
we can't force people to reply to our discussions. but what i don't like is when people ignore the responses you leave on their discussions. i find that kinda rude
but still - people are not here to please us

I think people just realize that unfollowing just stops them from getting notifications from following. Or, that it doesn't work like it does on other sites. Sure, you can narrow down discussions in the "following tab, but that's all following does. And you have to both be following each other to use the "suggest" option.
Blocking really doesn't do much. Many people have blocked me, but I still see their discussions on pages like "most recent discussions' so I don't really put much stock into it. All blocking does is prevents a person from sending a message or responding to a discussion. If I find someone has blocked me I just skip over it, and remind myself, it's on them... not me.

@aureategloom Sometimes people block other people out of spite and anger. I know a former member (I say former because I found out a couple months ago she passed away) blocked me for a time. She unblocked me shortly before her passing.
Just don't let it get to you. We can't always know what other people are thinking.

@kaylachan i was hoping to be unblocked, but it started to bother me less after reading responses to this discussion.
that is so right what you said. thank you for your advice

oh i didn't know that you're not getting notifications from people you don't follow? or did i not understand what you said correctly?
yeah, blocking doesn't do much if you don't want other person to see what you post and stuff. that's how i realized another person blocked me some time ago - i couldn't respond. to their discussion. but i don't care about it much, because we never actually interacted and maybe it was on accident.
however, i really like interacting with this person and everything was fine and then i'm blocked. i guess that's why it bothers me. but it'll pass

Your posts do not offend me at all. I have yet to be blocked here. I have been blocked on Twitter and Pinterest due to my comments being considered offensive. Their loss and my gain.

@aureategloom I try to be nice to people here. the comments that got me in trouble was telling people that complain that their lifestyle that is not the normal will go to jail if anyone of us misgendered them. I replied "Go jump into the Chages River."

@Deepizzaguy that was a bit too much, my friend. but still - this is site for discussing, not agreeing with everything and blocking people that disagree with you. i hope everything turned out fine in the end

No, you didn’t say anything bad to me, so there’s no reason for me not to respond to your discussions. I appreciate that you engage with some of my threads, even if they’re sometimes nonsensical. Hahaha. Maybe some Mylotters don’t like me, and that’s perfectly fine. We really can’t please everyone. What matters most is that we do not hurt anyone and are just here to have fun or express our thoughts and feelings.

" What matters most is that we do not hurt anyone and are just here to have fun or express our thoughts and feelings." - exactly!
and i got the feeling that i managed to hurt people somehow, unintentionally of course. so i had to check.

I have had no problems with you. I only unfollow people who are creeps and stalk me.

I have no problems with anything you’ve ever said. I’m sorry this whole thing upset you though. I’ve been blocked, and the reason why I was blocked is based on a lie the user really believes. It doesn’t bother me. Sometimes things like that happen, and in the end, you might be better off for it. Less drama.
I will add somehow twice two people got a message to me that I had blocked them, when I KNOW I didn’t. I chalked it up to a glitch and quickly unblocked those two people. I had never had a problem with them before though.

thank you for sharing
the thing you said "you might be better off for it" makes sense and gives me new perspective of things. thank you.
maybe i should check my blocked list, but i don't think i did it. i'm using myLot on laptop and i think there's no way of making such mistake

Not me, but I have had things happen like that, where I said nothing wrong, but the person blocked me.It could be by accident, but I never checked.

i doubt this was on accident, but i'm more interested in what happened with others that just unfollowed after having a nice chit-chat in their or my discussions. i try not to stress about it too much, but i had to share my concerns

I think so. But we never got in the part of blocking and unfollowing.
The worst case i had before was when one mylot users keep on existing that my post is plagiarize and that he will report me to myLot. And not only did he commented on my post, but he also message, I am glad that myLot does not do anything on my post. I mean how can I plagiarize my own thoughts and and daily learnings and experience?
But I hope this experiences don't get in to you. Move on, and we cannot please everyone. When God is taking people away from you, He has a great purpose about it. Don't be sad that much okay? God bless.

hm, i never had such experience with user - but i did get my discussion taken down for the same reason. it was so weird to me, but that was long time ago.
i'm seeing it differently now and i'm feeling okay, thank you. God bless you too

i usually avoid political discussions because it's usually about US and i don't think i have enough knowledge to participate in such matters.

I do not recollect anything hurtful from yoru side. You have always been sweet and kind to me. I also did not avoid any interactions with you. There might be days I have been away from mylot , but have not avoided anyone inclduing you. Plus , you have always participated in my discussions and I have responded to all of your responses. So , we are good. I could not figure why many people unfollowed you. I never had such a situation , so cannot comprehend the reasons. However, if this discussion is good for them to reconsider-then the opportunity is here for them. You have done a your part and good one as well. Take care!
