When out-of-town family makes no effort to see you

OP another person here who always felt pressure to visit so many people when I came home. And I know I often upset some because I don’t always make the rounds equally.

Hopefully if you go to this event you connect with her and perhaps others. If you are going to feel bad if you only get a few minutes in passing with her, then forgo the event and talk her you look forward to chatting with her another time.

It may not be about you as a person.
Maybe you have a bunch of kids and she is child free and doesn’t really enjoy all the kid noise etc
Maybe you are way more cautious than her re: covid and she doesn’t feel comfortable following the precautions you expect
Don’t go to the gathering just for her sake, go if you want to go but if you don’t - don’t
And of course no passive aggressive remarks to her like “I have misjudged our closeness”, this is the worst!
