I felt quite a lot of this. I'm always the one who's checking up on my friends, helping them out, etc and more often than not, it's not reciprocated and I feel like I'm wasting my time. I'm a fairly introverted person so it takes a lot for me to even attempt to be sociable and then when I do and I don't get replies or feel like I'm the only one putting in effort, I feel like I'm wasting my time. Don't get me wrong, I understand that people have busy and hectic lives so they're not going to be available 24/7 but I'd like to feel like I'm at least worth a "how's it going?" text instead of getting no feedback at all
