How can I tell if my close friend has blocked me

[The Duende]

So about a year ago, my computer broke and I lost all communication with everyone on the Internet and I didn't know a few people IRL. My computer is still broken but I have found a way to get back on the Internet. once I got myself back into my old accounts I noticed that I had one friend missing from my friends list and I was able to figure out who he was.

It concerned me to find it was one of my close friends who I had lost contact with over the years that my computer was broken. I was able to get my old Discord account back and I found that I still had him on direct messaging but it looked like he had either unfriended me on Discord as well or he had blocked me. And I wasn't able to send him any messages.

I went back to my old steam profile and I found an old comment that he had left so I decided to check his account, but he had changed his name and his profile was now private so I have no idea How to contact him. I still don't know if he actually blocked me or if he just unfriended me and this is just a huge misunderstanding.

I feel really bad because he was actually a really enjoyable friend to play with. And I would really look forward to being able to get back in contact with them either on steam or discord, but neither of those platforms have a way to look up how many people have blocked you in particular. I was wondering if there was any simple way of finding these things out. I was also wondering if there was anyway I could get back in contact with my friend.

I just hope that he didn't block me on purpose to get me back for not being there.




( update: "and for the first 20~ or so comments about the wall of text... happy now. i told you i would get to it." )

( Update: " I now know that my friend has blocked me but I would still like to know why, I'm not looking for any insult I just want to know if there is anyway to get into contact with him.". )







///// UPDATE /////
I Feel like I have grown significantly since this post, and to be honest, I think its pretty stupid and embarrassing. If I could go back in time, or delete this, I would.

Also, because his account is private on steam I can't tell how long he's been off-line. So I wouldn't know if he even uses steam anymore.

Can you edit this thread and break ti up into paragraphs

[The Duende]

I can. But I'm lazy and I'm on mobile so even if I wasn't lazy it would be a ♥♥♥♥♥ and a half to fix. Sorry. Don't take it personally

Just means most people won't get past the first couple sentences and will stop caring. /shrug

If they didn't care why would I want their help anyways.

Not really. Just go the spaces after every 5 sentences and press whatever return button you have.

But again I'm lazy

I can't imagine not being able to get on the internet for over a year.

This is all beside the point can either of you to help me with my problem.

[The Duende]

Oh wait I just realized. The title of this discussion is probably super quick baity and I'm probably going to end up with a crap ton of notifications.

I don't know what your problem is, I got a couple sentences into your wall of text and stopped caring. ;)

[The Duende]

Then why are you here. If you really don't care then can you at least just not start an Irelevant conversation

[The Rock God]

Is there an "Add Friend" button on his profile?

[The Duende]

What if I told you I did that on purpose, just to get those of you didn't really care off of the discussion
