Anyone else ever feel like they have no one really there for them?

I had some bad news today, nothing life changing, but didn’t get something that I was aiming for and am feeling really low. Have told a couple of people but they have their own lives, their own families and frankly CBA. Have asked them questions too but nothing back. I feel like people are inherently selfish and as long as they’re alright, they won’t go out of their way for you... Some people I used to be very close to have surprised me most of all - slowly pulling away and now never make an effort with me, it’s always me trying to make plans with them. This has coincided with them having serious relationships and I can see that is their attitude with all friends - they don’t need to try from their happy romantic bubble.

Aibu to just leave it? And stop making an effort

YANBU and it's sad when friendships become onesided. I've experiences the same with a family member I thought I was very close to, and there's nothing I can do, I can't force her to have a relationship with me.

I'm sorry you're feeling hurt by this and I hope the news you received wasn't too bad/sad.

Can you look at making some new friends?
