Overthinking? Or you would feel this way too?

I have family in Indiana, I’m from Michigan. My family in Indiana is my dads side. Most of his family live there with the exception of a few people who have moved out of state but most of his family is there. Most of my moms family live in Michigan, again some have moved out of state or live like an hour or two away.

Whenever I visit everyone comes over. I always feel welcomed and loved. I always feel home there. I haven’t been much recently because when I was able to for spring break I came down with a cold. My grandma has a lot of different health issues, so I didn’t want to get her sick in any way.

They also live in the middle of nowhere but just wait.

I texted my grandma on March 19th and April 9th. The March 19th text was checking up. And April was me telling them that my moms side was doing a zoom for Easter and they should too. I never got an answer on either of them.

I try not to think too much cuz sometimes they don’t have signal or she might not feel good. But her and my grandpa are very active on facebook. I post a lot, either memes or sometimes I’ve posted vacation pics or pics of me or my dog. Or like random updates. You know, Facebook stuff 😂

My aunts and uncles in Indiana post a lot too and rarely ever do my grandparents ever comment on my posts. The only time my grandpa did was when I posted something about their anniversary. I can’t help but feel left out, or ignored. It doesn’t help that I have depression and often feel like this. Should I reach out and tell them how I feel? Or should I just leave it..

I’m supposed to visit in August for my aunts wedding, they got married in March I believe and had just the two of them and a preacher and because of the virus they’re waiting to celebrate till summer. I don’t get to see them often and like I said whenever I visit everyone comes over literally every day to see me, That has canceled some of my visits because while my grandma doesn’t mind having me there because she doesn’t have to “take care of me” sometimes she can’t deal with having everyone come over to see me. She often has a lot of appointments too so I have to check with her before visiting.

And another background I have 2 pairs of grandparents in Indiana, my dads parents divorced and remarried. So the grandma I’m talking about is his mom and the grandpa is his step dad. I don’t really like my dads dad because he kinda creeped me out one time, but I am very close with his step mom, she comments on my posts.

And no I’m not all about the likes and comments but like I said my grandma hasn’t answered and my grandpa interacts with all my other family members posts, even my one cousin who lives in louisiana.
