How do you feel when a close relation avoids you for a family gathering

Obviously, I will feel bad. Anyways that will help me realize that they do not like my presence. I will also not invite them during my functions. I will not keep thinking about it..no point :-)

This happens sometimes. I can understand your sadness and how irritated you are about this matter. They might have forgot to invite you. It is better not to take revenge since they are your family members. Please don't forget to invite them for your eightyth birthday celebration. All the best!

Just let him/her be. But just tell everyone that the reason of your absence was the fact you were not invited and not because you dont like to attend.

[b][/b]Just don't mind the relative who ignore you, if somebody ask why you were not able to attend, just answer honestly that you didn't know because you were not invited. If ever you have an occasion in your place, invite them like there's no bad blood between you and them, and it's up to them if they want to attend or not, as long as you did your job of inviting them.

I feel let down and depressed if some family member tries to avoid me in a family gathering or special occassion. I have great expectations from my family members and believe that they would invite me the way i would if there was a family get-toghether in my place. I think in such cases you should not attend the function oir event and let the other party know how hurt you feel about the whole thing :)

I had many experiences like that. My brother celebrated his house warming function, another brother celebrated his son'S sacred thread and house warming ceremonies but both of them did not bother to invite me. Definitely I felt hurt but what to do. May be I have some negative qualities which made them avoid me. So I am trying to find out what qualities are lacking in me, which makes my own brothers avoid me even in times of happy occassions and try to fix that problem

It's really a embarrassing experience, yogombal. Indeed, I also experienced it and it made me upseted. And once I had a upsetter story. My cousin's wedding, they invited me as bridesmaid, actually, they also invited another girl as bridesmaid. And when we talked later, they told me, they went shopping with that bridesmaid for her dress for wedding. And when I went to wedding, I had nothing to do in fact. And they forced me to sit with bridegroom and bride, I was apart with my parent, and I don't know any others around me. Do you know my feelings? Once I was upseted about it, but now I'm okay. I can live well without this kind of relatives, right? I have my friends. Sometimes, friends are closer than relatives, because when you make friends, you can choose as per your characters, but relatives, no choice. Anyway, this kind of experience taught me that I'm supposed to live independently, that means, don't depend on certain persons very much.

None so far its because i dont love attending parties.
