Do you talked to them that much, or at all? The last few years I've basically stopped talking to my extended family. It's not that I don't like them. They're great people. It's just we have totally different lives. My cousins and I have nothing in common other than we share a set of grand parents. Is this normal to lose contact? What are your situations like? Should I value my family more?
If I like them, yes. If not, no. If there's nothing to talk about don't force it dude haha
no
26 years old and no, I have lost touch with basically all except for 1. When we were younger our families lived very far apart so we only saw each other once or twice a year at family gatherings. Once most of my cousins were old enough to stay at home when their parents were away they stopped coming to some reunions altogether and then we hit college and really didn't see each other.
I don't really mind, we don't really share any similar hobbies or interests so I have no idea what I would talk about with them. One is a workaholic and always traveling, one is a party type who never really grew up, 2 are 20+ years older than me so they've always been at different stages in their life. The only one I really know know moved to our area a couple of years ago and their child is the same age as my brothers so they do a lot of stuff together.
In some ways I wish I did have a slightly closer family but it doesn't really bother me either.
I don't talk with my cousins or aunts/uncles because we live very different lives. I do talk with my wife's side of the family quite often but we have common interests. I think as you get older you are more set in your ways and more comfortable shedding high maintenance relationships.
