Aguirre Just because they unblocked you doesn't mean they're ready¶

Being unblocked is not an apology, not effort, and not a sign they are ready -- it is availability without accountability.

Key points¶

When they blocked you, it was a deliberate message; unblocking carries far less intentionality and may be a mass action where you are just a name on a list.
Possible motivations: checking whether you have moved on, testing the waters by opening a crack without stepping through, or pure neutrality.
Sometimes they feel the loss and hope you will re-engage without them having to earn it.
Unblocking without outreach is a recipe for relapse -- they want to be reachable without doing the work of reaching.
