Ask a mutual friend.

If their account is still active, they could have blocked you.
There are further ways to tell, so we’ll come back to these options.
You’ll be able to see a brief list of their friends; click onSee All.
It should tell you how many contacts you have in common.
you might scroll through their contacts or just bang out into the field which reads “Search Friends”.
If you might’t see them, there’s another potential answer for their absence.
They might have deactivated their whole account.
They’ll be notified and will see it the next time they enter.
You also need to determine whether you’ve been blocked or simply unfriended.
4Use Facebook Search to Check Who Has Blocked You
Search for your friend on Facebook.
Simply sign in, and you’ll see the search box at the top-left of the page.
A list of profiles and pages will come up.
Toggle the results by clicking onPeople.
If you’ve been blocked, the profile of that person won’t show up in this setting.
If they’ve deleted their Facebook account, however, they won’t appear at all.
This could be a birthday message, a festive greeting, or anything incidental.
In most cases, if you’ve been blocked, those messages disappear completely.
Even their likes might disappear.
You should do this via the Facebook website because the app still sometimes shows blocked accounts.
Go to theMessengersection and click onSee All in Messengerin the drop-down menu.
jump into the conversation you had with the contact.
If they’ve deleted their account, their Messenger thread will read “Facebook User”.
But if you’ve been blocked, you won’t be able to invite that individual.
Go toEvents > Create Event > Create Private Event.
After entering the details, you’ll need to invite specific people by tagging them.
And so, it’s possible for you to only block people who haven’t blocked you.
Go toSettings & privacy > prefs > Blockingand enter a name underBlock users.
After clickingBlock, a list of profiles will appear, giving you the option to block them.
If you’re free to’t even get onto their profile, they’ve deleted their Facebook account anyway.
you could also block this person on Facebook Messenger.
The only way to be 100 percent certain whether you’ve been blocked is to ask the person directly.
You could also ask a mutual contact to find out, although you better tread carefully.
A mutual friend can at least tell you whether your contact’s profile has been deactivated or deleted.
But in most cases, it’s not worth worrying about.
It could be something small, like a simple misunderstanding.
