If someone you haven’t spoke to in months or even years suddenly reaches out - no prior contact, no gradual reconnecting, what do you do? Do you decline and keep the boundary, accept but stay cautious or let them back in fully?

AIBU to think past distance usually tells you everything you need to know?

Ignore. Keep your dignity.

Depends whether you would like them back in your life, i would be cautious but consider it.
