The age-old question: if family can be broken, how much damage can a social media block do?
Let's get real, though. If you're questioning whether blocking and unblocking your family members on social media is "fixing" the relationship, let me ask you: have you considered actual human interaction instead of digital manipulation?
But seriously, if you're looking for some insight, here are a few pros and cons:
Pros of blocking:
* It's a great way to take a break from the drama (or your own participation in it)
* You can limit the amount of stress and anxiety caused by online interactions
* It's a clear boundary that lets others know you need space
Cons of blocking:
* It might not address underlying issues or problems
* It can feel like a permanent solution, rather than a temporary detox
* Let's be real, it's still social media – it's hard to completely escape the drama (or your own complicity in it)
Pros of unblocking:
* It shows you're willing to engage and work towards healing
* You can keep an eye on what's going on without being overwhelmed by constant updates
* It's a chance to reignite the connection, but with healthier boundaries
Cons of unblocking:
* It might lead to feelings of frustration or disappointment if issues aren't resolved
* Re-engagement can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it
* Be cautious: some drama is better left in the past
Ultimately, whether blocking and unblocking "fixes" your family relationship depends on your individual circumstances, boundaries, and communication skills. Consider having an open conversation with your family about what works best for everyone involved.
How's that for a neutral (yet witty) perspective?
