HumanMachine Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 What app is this? I’m curious as to why their blocking function is so poor... (My gut is telling me it’s instagram and OP doesn’t want to block ex) Link to post Share on other sites
Author hope18 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 But you are feeding into it, a lot, by posting about it on a public forum. I suggest you never look at her social media again. That would be truly not feeding into it. Again, I hadn't looked at her social media in two weeks until my friend who still follows her sent me a screenshot. I asked my friend to no longer update me. Posting on here is to vent to people who may have been in a similar situation, it's not like I'm posting on here in the hopes that she will see or find it. Link to post Share on other sites

(My gut is telling me it’s instagram and OP doesn’t want to block ex) Actually no, the app is called VSCO. It's a photography app. Blocking only prevents other users from liking or reposting your images, however they can still see your profile because there is no option to make it private. Look it up if you want. My ex isn't the one stalking me, it's his new girlfriend. Link to post Share on other sites

Author hope18 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Another note: I forgot I followed him on spotify when we first started dating and opened the app for the first time in months last week only to get a notification that he made a playlist a week ago full of songs about missing exes and wanting to go back. Maybe she saw this and got jealous? Who knows. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Trip2TheSky Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Maybe you're reading too far into it and too set on the possibility your ex has been thinking of you. People lie constantly, so maybe he does like clingy women. The only person with the answer is him. It is entirely possible that the new women and him have something special, since he left you, met her and has seemed to move on at this point. Leave it in the past and move forward. It's not worth the thought or energy you put into it. Link to post Share on other sites
Author hope18 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Maybe you're reading too far into it and too set on the possibility your ex has been thinking of you. If it had only happened once or twice I would think maybe it's a coincidence, but the fact that three months later she still copies my posts immediately after I post them is not a coincidence. Her best friend also just requested to follow me on instagram. This isn't about whether my ex is thinking about me or not, yeah some of the clues make me wonder, but that isn't my concern anymore. I'm wondering people's opinions on this new girl based on the information. Edited December 20, 2017 by hope18 Link to post Share on other sites
Purepony Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 BLOCK. BLOCK. BLOCK. If you didn't like her stupid little game, why are you letting it continue? LOL EDIT**I read the end, but I'm still confused as to why you let it go one so long.. I understand being sad and missing your ex and possibly wanting to see what his new gf was up to, but after the third copied pic she should've been blocked. I don’t wanna scare you but if you delete your social media for a while you won’t die also what’s this need to post up your life for everyone to see or criticize?! Take a break from all this nonsense... just delete your accounts or freeze them for a while Link to post Share on other sites

I came back to your thread and was reading to catch up thinking, 'i don't even remember commenting on this one!' Then i saw my comment and realized what happened hahah Link to post Share on other sites
ExpatInItaly Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Like I said before, not going to stop using something I enjoy because she wants to be petty and immature. I'm also not going to deal with her stalking me because that would require reaching out to either him or her and I'm not going to waste my energy or give them the satisfaction. I mostly wrote this post for a good venting session. For me the only solution is let her obsess over me and see how great I'm doing, her insecurity will ruin their relationship especially because when we were together he told me that clingy, immature and insecure girls were a turnoff for him. I think "deal with her stalking" implied just ignoring her and not allowing it to bother you this much, rather than directly confronting her or your ex. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author hope18 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hey guys, it's been a little while. I'm doing very well and have broken my habit of keeping tabs on my ex via social media. About a month "sober" now! Anyways, yesterday completely out of the blue my ex's best friend added me on instagram. We have zero mutual friends so it's not like I would have appeared under suggestions. We also have never spoken before, he followed me in september while my ex and I were kind-of-but-kind-of-not together, because my ex talked to him about us and went to him for advice. Once we officially broke things off, his friend unfollowed me after he did. But now he's back out of the blue lol. My ex is still with his new girlfriend as far as I know, I refuse to check their social media incase of it kicking up the old habit. I'm just confused on the reasoning behind it and I'm tempted to just message him and ask but I don't want it getting back to my ex. Thoughts on what to do (right now I'm thinking do nothing) or what the reasoning might be? Link to post Share on other sites
zombi24 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Trust me, It's easy to look into this and think it means something. My ex's best friend follows me on Snapchat and watches all my stories, and i want to believe it means something, but there's not a lot of evidence to believe it does. Just leave it alone. Don't bring it up to anyone. If it means something, it'll be made clearer down the road, but right now it's not a lot to go off of. Link to post Share on other sites

ExpatInItaly Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I don't think it really means anything, OP. Link to post Share on other sites
CantTakeMySmile Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 What could it "mean" really? I don't think it means that your ex wants to get back together. I also don't think there is any ill intent, so I wouldn't sweat it. Link to post Share on other sites
stillafool Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Maybe now that the best friend knows your ex is into the other girl, he may want to get to know you for himself. I doubt seriously he is following you at the request of your ex. Link to post Share on other sites
