If you suddenly stop seeing updates from them in the stories section and you haven't unfollowed or muted them, it could mean they've blocked their stories from you. Another indicator could be if you get an error message when trying to access their stories.
You might notice if you can't access their stories when you could before. Or if they don't show up in your feed anymore.
You can try adjusting your notification settings for that person. Or maybe focus on interacting with other content so their stories don't catch your attention as easily. However, it can be tricky to completely avoid seeing them without blocking.
Another aspect of using blocking to tell a story is in terms of pacing. You can block out fast - paced scenes and slow - paced scenes. For instance, in an action - packed adventure story, you might have a series of short, quick - blocked scenes for a chase sequence. And then a long, slow - blocked scene for when the characters are having a heart - to - heart conversation. This contrast in blocking creates a rhythm that draws the reader or viewer in and helps convey the story more effectively.
One reason could be that the story was too emotional. If it was a sad story, for example, the person might be so affected that they withdraw and seem blocked. They are just processing all those strong emotions.
It can vary. Sometimes blocking someone doesn't directly affect delete story view, but it could indirectly influence it based on privacy and access permissions set by the platform.
Blocking can enhance the emotional impact of a story. If you block characters in a way that shows distance or closeness between them physically, it can mirror their emotional relationship. Say two characters are having an argument, and you block them far apart on stage or in a scene. It intensifies the sense of conflict and helps tell the story of their strained relationship.
One reason could be privacy. If you don't want a certain person to know what you're up to or what you're sharing in your story, you block them. For example, if it's an ex - partner, you might not want them seeing your new life updates.
Maybe you watched the story and realized that the person is constantly negative or always complaining in their posts. You don't want that kind of energy in your feed, so you block them. Another reason could be that you had a falling - out with the person previously and seeing their story just reminded you that you don't want any connection with them anymore.
No. Blocking typically restricts access to your stories for the person you've blocked. It's designed to give you control over who can interact with and view your shared content.
No, usually if someone blocks you, they won't be able to see your story.
The main thing is that blocking someone after watching their story can lead to a lack of communication. They won't be able to reach out to you or know why you did it. It could potentially damage any existing or potential relationship.
