Why Being Friends With Family On Social Media Gets Awkward

- By

If you block them, they know

You try to block some family members, or at least add them to limited lists so they can’t see all of your posts, but things get awkward when they realize that’s happened. That triggers a phone call about how you should really “Confront your issues” and that “Maybe we should go to therapy together.” They cannot look in the mirror and realize perhaps their own actions prompted the blocking. Instead, they are certain that it is your issues that led to that decision, and you really need to work them out. Ugh. Everything was so much easier before that friend request came in.
