Anyone close contact and not catch it?!

I was with someone on Monday who has tested positive today.
Freaking out.
Am I more likely than not to get it?!
Has anyone not actually caught it after being in close contact with someone's recently?

Yes my daughter has been pinged repeatedly as a close contact, uni and work, but has not caught it thus far.

My DD has gone well to avoid covid after contact.

She was pinged three times within a couple of hours. She'd had contact with two friends one afternoon and had another close contact same evening.

Also, she spent all day with a friend, sat next to in a lecture, had coffee together and went shopping. DD's friend took an LFT 48 hours hours later and tested positive. She also sat behind same friend's flat mate on bus the next day and they had a bit of a chat, the flat mate went onto test positive.

I’ve had it three times, my husband and two kids have never had it. We didn’t isolate from each other in the house

Spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with Son and partner. She tested positive on 26th Dec after her sister tested positive for work. They spent day together on 22nd. 23rd Sons partner had work do 6 tested positive. I spent hours in car shopping, she cooked Christmas dinner, we shared buffet etc. Me and DH and Son. All testing negative 5 days later?
In April 2020 me and DH were ill with covid. I ended up having to have oxygen (silent hypoxia) we both had phantom smells for 8 months and I ended up with Long Covid for 16 months. We are triple jabbed too. Maybe illness and vaccine makes you very immune? I am a TA too and looked after my grandson who had also been with his positive childminder the day before.

There is good evidence that infection followed by vaccines gives you super immunity news.ohsu.edu/2021/12/16/breakthrough-infections-generate-super-immunity-to-covid-19-study-suggests
