Blocking Listeners

ASmileisAllitTakes April 20th, 2018

Hey People! Hope everyone is well! Just a small question but one that has been bothering me for a while now: Why is it so easy for Members to Block Listners?

I keep clicking on people to help them and before I have even said hello, or I simple introduce myself, the Member has blocked my account? Why is this? Why is it so easy for a Member to block a Genuine Listener who is trying to help them, without even giving them a chance to talk?

It is just an issue that keeps bothering me as I feel like I am giving off some sort of bad Impression!

Hi Steven!

The most likely reason, it seems to me, is that the member wants to talk to someone female. They check your profile, and the quickest way to move on is to block you. Another possible reason is that they have chatted to you already using a different ID, and they don't want to chat to you again in case you recognize them There are probably many other possible reasons.

It's probably best not to take blocks personally, I think.

I suppose you could ask a mentor to take a quick look at your profile. Perhaps they will be able to suggest improvements, or to reassure you that it is not giving a bad impression.

Also, if you apply to become verified (and you appear to be eligible) the mock chat will give you some feedback on the impression you are giving.
