Imagine someone you were once close to, but have drifted away from over the years, suddenly sends you a private message on Facebook to share that her son just got married. How would that make you feel? Would you think she’s trying to hint at gifts?

I can understand why you might feel that way. It can be surprising to hear from someone you haven’t interacted with in a long time, especially for an occasion like a wedding. It’s natural to wonder about their intentions, and it might come across as them wanting something, like a gift or support. However, it’s also possible they just wanted to share the news and reach out, perhaps feeling nostalgic about the past connection you had. How you respond really depends on how you feel about rekindling that connection or where you stand with them now.
