If I've been Re:Miss-ed...nothing personal...

Wanna bet?! If you've been subjected to "...a lack of care or attention to duty...neglect..." my guess is that it's going to have a degree of psychological impact; you might even take it as a 'personal affront' "--...an act or lack thereof that contains a deliberate display of disrespect...an intentional slight...one that might even cause offense, even outrage...as in SCANDALOUS!" Such as failing to notice or act on a gesture made by another, an accomplishment, or even neglecting something as 'benign' (to be clarified, qualified in a bit, I won't forget) as forgetting, neglecting to respond to a request to "RSVP"...OR, RSVPing and then failing to show, where you become 'conspicuous by your absence' (sometimes you hope your absence is not noticed, whereas others..."you weren't missed" could itself be an affront, personally injurious...

Meaning-full, Notice-able: We've all been on both sides of this equation, if we think long enough, if we're being completely honest. That is, we've all had our feelings hurt when others have either failed to notice or, on the other hand, give us notice, that they are gonna be late, if not absent altogether...and WE, ourselves, either out of 'benign neglect' ("noninterference intended to benefit someone more than continuous attention might😔😕), 'willful ignorance' (AKA "tactical stupidity"😖), or being otherwise preoccupied (which in these days and times frequently means tech, paying attention to others, other stuff on social media), and missing something that was important, mattered, and important matter...an unintentional (hopefully) failure to act, otherwise known as an 'error of omission'...for some being ignored is as personally hurtful, psychologically impactful as being treated with manifest disdain, overt ridicule ("at least it's attention!") Both can be equally conspicuous, disruptive to personal harmony, depending on one's station in life...personality, circumstances...

Now that I'm thinking of it...on this subject, to show you I'm not deliberately ignoring your own proclivities, preferences, if I have neglected to include you, as in an area of personal interest, in one of my first 400 (!!) posts here, I'll be sure to be more attentive to your wants, needs, desires in the near future...at least it's my intention, which should in turn allow you to give me the 'benefit of the doubt'...

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
