The simplest way to tell if someone has blocked you is by inputting their username link into your address bar directly. When you load their page you will receive an error message stating that the user has blocked you on Twitter.
You can also search up the suspected accounts username from a different account or ask mutual friends if they can see the profile. If you are able to see them from another account, that means the accounts blocking your main profile.
