This question hits very close to home with me. The only person that I truly know for a fact that would always give me the cold shoulder is one of my sister-in-laws.

I never could understand it but found out that she did this to me because she felt like she was better than me. I grew up poor but my Mother always taught me that money does not make the person. That people with money are no better than we are. They just have more of an advantage in life.

So, after many years, over twenty, of trying so hard to make her like me, I realized that no matter what I did, she was always going to look the "other" way when she saw me and I gave up trying. I thought to myself, if she did ever quit ignoring me, would "I" really like her? The answer I came up with was probably not.

To this day, my sister-in-law will look the other way when we run into each other but now, it doesn't bother me. I have come to the conclusion that it's "her" that's missing out!
