Is this normal ?
Hi guys, so a little bit of a story time, so I've been a pretty depressed person prior to December 2024. However, a family invited me out for dinner at a steakhouse one evening in December 2024 (I forgot the exact date) and I met and talked with their family during that dinner time with them, and that ONE night made me realize many things in life that changed who I was. Even to this day, I still don't think I will become who I am if I didn't meet them during that time. Then, they would invite me over to their house for dinner on a holiday (January 2025) and then they also came to see me in March 2025 (or early April I forgot) and brought me lots of food and drinks! And then they invited me over to their house again in May 2025 for dinner.
Then August 2025 hit, I had to go back to college for Junior Year so the mother of the family drove to where I lived over the summer to pick me and my stuff up and help me move in for college (and also took me out for lunch)! Then, this is where things started to change. The mom's daughter started to ignore me? for whatever reason that I don't know about? I texted her 3 times on 3 different dates and she did not reply to any one of them (again, for some reason that I don't know of), this started in June 2025 and it pains me. The only thing that I think would have caused this was when I called her gay af in a jokingly way and I don't know if she took that too seriously cuz right after that text was the 3 texts that I sent that got no replies.
And then her mom would usually come see me at least once every semester but this whole entire junior year , she did NOT come see me once and she did not invite me out for food ONCE. Not a single time. I find this particular family rather abnormal since I've never really met a family like this before where they befriended me (I guess?) and then straight up GHOSTED tf out of me ? Also, keep in mind that the mother of the family was the one that invited me out for dinner that very first encounter which was December 2024. And also, the mother of the family is also my father's close friend. Maybe she is just helping me out ? Not really trying to be friends with me ? (Their family never initiated conversations via text with me before except for their mom).
I tried to initiate conversations with their daughter when I saw her in college in person and it always felt forced and recently I saw her daughter and she did NOT greet me neither did she say hi to me and her eyes already told me she was extremely unfriendly, however, I still went up and initiated a conversation with her. When she left, she did NOT say bye to me nor did she at least wave at me to signal goodbye. After this, I told her mom about what happened and her mom told me to ignore her next time if I see her so then I just told her that I'll just block her and never text her again (Her mom agreed for some reason). Do you guys think what I did was correct and reasonable? And now that I am typing this, I have a lot of anger and kinda want to block her mom as well for some reason ? Is this feeling normal ? Do you guys think I should block her mom as well?
Thanks for reading my rant/story!
TL;DR : Some relationship issues I guess? I'm not sure, let me know what you think.
