So this is going to be a bit of a weird one but here goes. I M(26) am tired of having to constantly make the effort for both relationships and friendships. I make group chats for example and if I’m not messaging constantly to the group NO ONE responds, and even when I do, people barely respond. And yet, when I join other people’s group chats they’re full, and lively, even if it’s just like 5 people. I am constantly left on read and constantly ignored. I shared some texts to another member here and he said I sounded desperate and needy even through text when I wasn’t trying to be. No one reaches out and if they do it’s mostly women I’ve slept with. I’m so tired of this. Am I the only sociable person in my city or is there something wrong with me?! I hear about bustling social lives all the time and I don’t get it because even when people compliment me that I’m super sociable and great to talk to NO ONE makes the effort themselves to try to reach me.

TLDR: I’m tired of making consistent effort and switching friend groups.
