Blocking Isn't Petty—It's Self-Care: Why Protecting Your Peace is the Ultimate Power Move

Blocking Isn't Petty—It's Self-Care: Why Protecting Your Peace is the Ultimate Power Move

🚨 Let’s be real—we’ve all been there. That moment when someone’s energy just doesn’t sit right with us anymore. Maybe it’s a toxic ex, a friend who’s more of an energy vampire than a supporter, or a family member who refuses to take accountability. But when you finally hit that block button, why do people act like you’re the bad guy?

Corey Wesley, host of The Twisted Truth, is here to shut that nonsense down. In his latest episode, he unapologetically breaks down why blocking isn’t childish—it’s maturity, self-preservation, and the ultimate form of self-care. If you’ve ever felt guilty about cutting someone off, this is the message you need to hear.


🚫 Blocking is NOT Immature—It’s a Boundary

One of the biggest misconceptions out there is that blocking someone is “dramatic” or “petty.” But as Corey puts it, you are responsible for the energy you allow into your space. Think about it—if someone constantly disrespects you, drains your energy, or triggers your anxiety, why should they have unlimited access to you?

The truth? Some people don’t deserve a conversation, closure, or a second chance. They know what they did. And if they don’t? That’s their problem—not yours.


💡 The Truth About Why People Guilt-Trip You for Blocking

Ever notice how the same people who call blocking “immature” are usually the ones who deserve to be blocked? 🤔 Corey keeps it real:

  • Narcissists and manipulators will gaslight you, making you feel like you’re overreacting.
  • Toxic friends and energy vampires will try to keep you in their cycle of negativity.
  • People who lack accountability will only focus on your reaction rather than their own behavior.

Blocking isn’t about hurting them—it’s about protecting you.


🛑 When Should You Block Someone?

Still debating whether to hit that block button? Here’s when it’s 100% justified:
✅ They manipulate, antagonize, or emotionally drain you.
✅ They don’t respect your boundaries or gaslight your feelings.
✅ Their presence in your life brings more stress than peace.
✅ You need space to heal from a breakup, addiction, or trauma.
✅ They’re an ex, and let’s be real—you don’t need that mess in your life.

Corey shares his own experiences with blocking exes, old friends, and even family members. The result? More peace, less stress, and zero regrets.


🔥 Final Word: You Don’t Owe Anyone Access to You

At the end of the day, blocking someone isn’t about being petty—it’s about choosing your mental and emotional well-being over someone else’s entitlement to your time and energy.

Maturity isn’t about keeping doors open for people who don’t respect you. Maturity is knowing when to close them—for good.
