Blocked on Facebook???

Blocking means that you no longer exist to them, and they no longer exists to you. If you look for them, it's as if they don't even have a Facebook, and vice-a-versa.

If you block someone they will no longer be able to search for you or find you on Facebook. If you have mutual friends, they will not be able to see what you post.

My aunts blocked me and I can no longer even find them on Facebook. I'm still friends with their husbands and kids (who say they're acting like stupid teens) but even when I go to their pages, I can see that my uncle is married, but it doesn't say to who.

You can "restrict" viewing and it's not blocking and is more inocuous.

I've done this with several of my "friends" and it's work ALLOT better than just blocking.

But by all means, if you want to make sure they don't see ANYTHING, EVER...blocking is the way to go. :)

If you block someone they can type your name in the search bar but your particular name and info does not show. You are blocked.

BUT if you have mutual friends they can still see everything you post on that mutual friends posts.

If you just want to avoid them just go to their timeline and unsubscribe. That way they still show as friends but you don't have to deal with them.

If they send you a message asking why you haven't commented on a post or something just tell them it must be a FB glitch. That happens all the time.

You can block their posts from showing on your wall too. I did that to a cousin of mine for a while because he had a bunch of friends who were discussing sexual exploits. Once that stopped I unblocked his posts and have not had any problems with his language again.

There are many options besides just unfriending someone and possibly having to deal with those consequences. If they read your posts they are going to miss them. If they go try to post on your timeline it will not come up. It is usually pretty obvious when someone is unfriended and blocked.

I found out I was blocked on someone's timeline due to not being able to wish them a happy birthday. I had been blocked for sometime too. I had an argument with a friend over a comment she made about my BFF's daughter. I totally told her off. This person didn't want the "drama" so she blocked my posts from her wall. This was months and months later. I had no idea I was blocked. She did unblock me after we messaged back and forth.

It's very liberating. I finally blocked a toxic aunt and she can't even see my profile pic for updated pictures of the kids. As others have said, it's like you're not on FB at all to the people you've blocked.

If you are 'friends" with them and you block them...they will know because suddenly they won't be able to find you at all.
If you're not already friends on FB....block them! It's wonderful! I have had to do that with a few people and it's like they don't even exist any more! They won't see you, you won't see them, etc.
BUT if you think blocking existing "friends" WILL rock the boat, then look into restricting what they can/cannot see, etc. You can even chose to not let certain people post to your wall, etc.

Just to clarify what someone else said, if you block someone, they CANNOT see what you post on mutual friends posts.

If you block them they can no longer see you. They won't see posts you make on friend's pages and if they try to search for you they won't get any results.

Good Morning
To block someone on Facebook you go to your account settings, privacy, then blocked people. You enter either their email address or name, a list will come up to make sure you get the right person, you click on their name. Once a person is blocked they can no longer see your profile or any comments you make on anyone elses pages. They will not be able to do a search for you either, it will be like you do not exist.
Good luck!
Blessings!

It will pull up that your account is blocked and you have to be friends to see it. I had to just completely delete mine my family and my husbands family was just too much drama for me so me and my husband **it canned facebook period. And guess what no more drama I love it good luck !!

It depends upon HOW you block someone.

You can block their posts so you can't see them.
Or you can block them - permanently - and not be seen to them. Blocking means you won't be able to see or contact each other on Facebook......They won't be able to send you messages nor will you be able to send them. It's like they will vanish.

ETA: If you are already friends with them - go to their name, double click on their name, in the top right hand corner (if they have Timeline - URGH!! HATE TIMELINE!) there is a little "cog wheel" click on that - a drop down menu will appear...at the bottom are three choices...suggest friends, unfriend, block.

Chose the "block" function. Like I said earlier - it will block posts, your name, etc.

You can also change your privacy settings on FB...go to your page, right click on the home button, drop down menu will come up- select privacy settings and go to "custom"...select from there how public or private you want to be!!

If you block someone they will not be able to see anything for you.

You can "hide" everything they post and restrict what they can see on your page if you think "blocking" will rock the boat. I don't think they'll have any idea what's restricted to them.
