My approach is simple.
I ask myself two questions: 1) How important is this person and/or storyline to me? 2) How much time, effort and energy would it take to resolve the issue with them? The answer to this will usually be a best case scenario and a worst case scenario.
I then weigh the answers against one another. If their importance to me is greater than the energy I expect it would take, I will try to work things out. Otherwise, I just kind of shrug and not make much of an effort to engage them anymore.
