[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me recently. A family member I have been estranged from for years sent me a text saying they were thinking of me and hoped that I was OK. I texted back that I was doing fine and also told them happy birthday, because it was their birthday. Nothing back. Nothing at all. My therapist said “that’s a poke not a real attempt at connection, and it shows extreme emotional immaturity.” If someone with emotional maturity reaches out to someone with the intention of potentially mending the relationship, or having some kind of connection again, they will say more than “happy new year.” If I were you I’d be glad they didn’t respond, and hope they just leave you alone going forward. It’s also possible they mistakenly sent a Happy New Year text to all of their contacts. I’d just stop giving it anymore thought or energy than you already have.[/quote]
