I don't blindly add or block. I bring up their page or site and try to find out what I can about them before I add. Sometimes people only add you because you are friends with a mutual friend of theirs and they want more members on their page. I do not block anyone unless it is clear to me they are doing some kind of scamming. As a female, when I get a FB request and the photo is of a military man supposedly looking for a woman to date, I check it out. The stupid ones allow their real friends to make comments and all the friends looked to be African, or having photos of their real selves in their photos, etc. Others, I hunt through to see what their favorite books, movies, singers and such are. Then I do a search online and find all have African names and photos. To be careful, I do not add them. Or they write a line that they are widowed and looking for love and have a child. The profile photo is always a military man with his child. If this is what you are doing, it is not only normal but an important step to take. If you are talking about something else, the best way to deal with anything like this is to see a mental health professional and get help. First, make sure you have the proper diagnosis that you are indeed OCD and then you can share experiences that you believe are being influenced by OCD and your Dr. can show you how to deal with it.
