If a family member or members ignore you ..how would you react

You know I'm actually in that situation right now. A family member and I have not been in speaking terms for about a year now. In the beginning, it used to bother me a lot. I used to wonder what this person would be telling my mother or telling the rest of the family members about me. But I realized that there's nothing in my life to talk about except that everything is doing pretty well in my own family. So if this person would be talking about me, it's probably all about envy. And if they envy me, that means I'm in a better position than they are! So I decided to brush the thoughts off me completely. If she chooses to ignore me, well then ignore me! Who cares! I'm not losing anything by her ignoring me anyway! Life is beautiful, let's enjoy it and forget about those people who try to do things to pull us down. They'll never get anywhere because we run our own lives!

It will be very depressed to find yourself being ignored. If I am in such an awful condition, first, I would like to find the reason. Talk to the person or others why it is and then correct it. There are not two people in the world are identical. So, conflicts and misunderstanding always exist in our life. We human beings can not be able to eliminate the phenomena, but at least we can relief the situations.

I live with aggresive and hysterical old parents. So if some of them ignores me -i will feel relief, some fresh air in the tradition hell at home.

I am sure you are sad for that and it maybe make you depresed too.but if somebody cannot tolerate you then it is their own problem and you cannot do probably nothing about it.Only find way how to live with that.I have something similar in my family too, i mean everybody talk to me, but sometimes i feel like I am not good enough for them, becuase I don't match their standatres.But maybe there is something more important for me, what I believe in and if they are not happy about it that is their own stupidity then.

I have been through this several times, and my feelings remain the same. I believe in what I stand for and they do the same and apparently they do not correspond. So even though we may miss them it can be a good thing as the arguments and fighting would continue for an undetermined length of time. This all depends on the situation. But as I was toll when I was a child, sometimes you need to walk away. Oh, by the way one of the people I am referring to is my own mother that i have only known for 5 years out of my almost 40 years alive.

Personally... first of all i would analyze the situation, and using common sense judge whats right or wrong, maybe i lacked empathy, maybe i was over confident with em but it all depends on each person currently my big brother is ignoring me as i am ignoring him we had an argue just because i was over confident and he reacted very aggresively, issues about brotherly respect and so on i will only respect ppl that actually DESERVE RESPECT ppl always have different point of views and standing grounds, and others that think they are the best if u wish to actually know .. if you were right or wrong you should, i take that back, not right or wrong there is no right or wrong regarding subjects like this but you might want to know how their friends, or your friends think bout those you have issue with for example, i am strongly opposite to my 2nd sister in law, my 2nd brothers wife, and its not only me, its all my brothers friends as well, but we all act as we are good relatives/friends because of my brother hence i dont feel anything if she ignores me or if i ignore her

I would be hurt and wonder what i did wrong then maybe i will try to talk to the person who is ignoring me just to ask what is wrong, and why ignoring me?or if dont have anything do to with it then maybe i will try to reconnect again and discuss thing that can reconnect to us again.

Hi my friend. I would feel very sad and depressed if my family members ignored me. My family is very close and we get along great so if they ignored me, I would feel that I did something wrong and am a disappointment to them. It would be very hard if my family avoided me. I am sorry that your family treats you that way. Your family is so disrespectful of you and seems like they try to take advantage of you because you are so nice.

My in-laws did that to me and what was worse was that I didn't even realize they were ignoring me. It took we a while to know. They would make calls to my husband only when he was home and not ask about me or talk to me. The would visit the place where we stay but not call or talk. I felt bad and would ask my husband why they were behaving this way. He gave me some very vague reply. I believe family should sort out their differences. So, the next time I knew my father-in-law was in town....I went to visit him (at my sister-in-law's place). He ignored me there too. But when I visited my parents, I went over to my in-laws place too. They pretended as though nothing had happened and we talked and laughed about other things. I would have preferred to clear what happened. But my in-laws are people who don't like to open up. So, I just let it be...I didn't want my kids being deprived of their grandparent's love because of our cold war.

I don't worry about it. I don't need nor want their approval. I learned a long time ago that in the end the person who's opinion mattered, was me. I have to live with myself and if I worry too much about pleasing other people I end up not pleasing myself. So what if someone else thinks that you don't measure up. Do you feel good about yourself and your life? If the answer is yes, then those other people don't matter. Do you believe and stand up for your convictions? Yes? Then who really cares if someone else cannot respect your opinion or beliefs just because they are different? Those people can only have control over your life or how you feel if you let them. Live your life to the best of your ability and live your best life possible. If those people cannot accept you just as you are, then they are not worth having in your life. Don't let other people's ideas limit your life or how much happiness you have in your life.

If that would be a family member or members then I think that I would try to talk to them or him/her immediately. I will let them know my side. And if it is possible, I will try to ask help for an older member of the family to stand in the middle. I believe that there's nothing that cant be solve if we talk about it.

i am studying my graduation... nd till now i have not recieved the concern from my family members... i am used to that... i feel very bad for that... to keep myself away from these topics, i mingle with my friends all them.. nd try keeping all my surroundings smiling nd hence myself smiling......

I'd say thier being childish and stupid and I'd be happy that I don't have to interact with them. I'd be happy being around the ppl that I do get along with. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I would not care if a family member ignores me because family members mean nothing to me. They judge their relatives according to financial standards and approach and other such qualities which bugs me and thats why i have contempt for them. So if a family member ignores me, ill ignore too.

I would feel sad but guess that I'm quite numb towards that already. The problem is that I'm the one who ignore my family members. Everytime when I'm at home, I'm more comfortable in "my own world" rather than chatting with family members if there is nothing that interests me. I guess is because of my attitude towards my family members make them do the same to me as well. Likewise for others who are acquainted to me.
