[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has a rare genetic condition.  Twice a year, I go to events for moms with kids with this condition.  They involve travel for a few days, lectures and activities, group meals, and support-building.  I have been doing this for six years.  I see the same people over and over at these events, of course with some new people. I generally remember a few things about their lives and kids, and ask them about them, but none of them ever remember or ask anything about me.  It feels really isolating, like I am a forgettable person, and they don't care enough to make the minimal effort.
I've experienced this in other contexts as well, but this is the most recent example.
Is something wrong with me?  Has anyone else been in this boat?[/quote]

It also seems like you're centering yourself in this. Most people need frequent "touches" to keep someone in their memory bank. That's why brands send frequent emails to stay on top of people's minds. If you want to be remembered before the event, if there's a group FB page or chat, stay active on those.[/quote]
