Best friend doesn’t make time to visit

DEAR HARRIETTE: My best friend was in my city and didn't make a single attempt to see me. She was here for a full week and couldn't make time for me. She said she was in town for work and had several other things to do, but we haven't seen each other in a year. I absolutely would have gone out of my way to try and see her if I were in her city. My feelings are so hurt, and I'm wondering if we're even as close as I thought. Am I overreacting? — Not a Priority
