Is it me or would you feel the same?

So a family member has sent me a text telling me good news. I wished them well and said my congratulations but deep down I could careless.I could careless because we hardly ever text/chat/connect with one another etc. I just see the relative as a distant stranger now. I focus my energy/connections on people who connect with me and that I built familiarity with based on similar interest.

Yes, I would feel the same. I have a distant cousin who has been trying to contact me, because I am in a new stage in my life.

I've reached out to this cousin several times over the years. Would always stand me up, flake out, cancel plans etc (we used to be normal cousins I guess.)

I got tired of it And stopped communicating with her.

Now here she is...I'm not making any time for her

@iamnikki When growing up I would visit my aunts house and hangout with my cousin. We did stuff together like watch tv and dance. As we got older we just became distant. Focused on our own lives but even if so other relatives kept in contact with me more so often. Like hearing good news from those who you chat with not every day but once in awhile is good. But hearing good news from a relative that you hardly talk to don't have much feelings to care lol.
