To think we all have our problems

That's it really. Am I being unreasonable thinking that people are making this situation about themselves?
Lockdown is having an effect on all of us but I'm finding that my family that don't live with me are really dragging me down!
1 is slightly prone to depression and has already said we will forget about them, they aren't old and before lock down had a part time job, they have a loving DH and we regularly knock and wave from the end of the drive.
The other is constantly saying they are lonely even after having spent sometimes hours on the phone to the group, just to receive a message 5 minutes later about how no one cares about them.
Neither of these people ask how I am, which considering I am heavily pregnant, husband is a key worker, am working from home and have a young child to look after, I'm actually sometimes really struggling but feel like I don't want to put that on them! And no I'm not then trying to make that about me. I am happy to have a job, be healthy and am looking on the bright side.

They sound emotionally draining
Stop engaging so much with them

@Shoxfordian it would be easier if one of them didn't give birth to me!
