Feel like I’m always taken for granted

sounds like you're dealing with some one-sided friendships, which really sucks. it's totally valid to feel frustrated when it feels like you're just being used for their convenience. maybe try talking to them about how you’re feeling, but if that doesn’t change things, it might be a sign to reconsider those relationships. friendships should go both ways and not make you feel like an afterthought. take care of yourself and surround yourself with people who truly value your presence 😊.

ugh, that sounds super rough. i kinda get how you're feeling... it’s like, sometimes you can’t help but wonder if people are really there for you or just using you as backup when there's nobody else. i've been in situations where conversations felt more like an obligation to others than a genuine interaction. maybe try thinking about how you've been feeling around them and see if there’s any pattern. it's not selfish to want friends who truly care, but second-guessing everything is pretty draining too. hang in there!

Hey, I feel you. It can be tough when it seems like people are only interested in what you can do for them; you're not being selfish for wanting genuine connections. Maybe it's time to spend more energy on new friendships that actually vibe with what you're looking for. Sometimes stepping back a little from the ones draining you could make room for better peeps who appreciate you for real. Hang tight!

yeah, i can totally relate. it's like people only reach out to me when they need a favor or if there's some drama unfolding... like, what am i, a support hotline?? 🙄 i remember this one time; a friend only called during this insane breakup drama she was having. and when it all calmed down? nada, zilch, disappears into the abyss like i'm yesterday's news. sometimes it feels like we're just placeholders in their busy lives, right??? honestly makes you question if you're being used or if they're just that clueless about what real friendship is supposed to mean... sigh... it's tough not to feel paranoid in situations like these but hey, maybe they don’t even realize it affects us so much ...

Sounds like classic friendship dynamics??? They treat you as a backup plan, only reaching out when they need you. Had similar experience with some folks and ultimately realized it's about boundaries; don't torture yourself by feeling guilty for questioning these relationships. If they're just using you, why should you stick around? Reflect on what you truly want from your friendships and how much energy you're willing to invest without jarring reciprocation.

i dunno if this is helpful, but sometimes i've noticed that people can get stuck in their own worlds and not realize they're being kinda crappy friends; maybe they don't even know they're coming off that way.

That's like when I had this friend who only reached out to me whenever he needed help moving his stuff from one apartment to another, and the rest of the time, it was crickets; honestly, it made me feel like a glorified U-Haul service until I finally put my foot down.

Well, ain't that just classic friendship dynamics in today's world. Seems like people keep you on standby for when their "better options" bail on them. Have you ever thought about just calling them out next time they come knocking with their drama? 😂 Sometimes it's worth it to see if they'll actually step up or if they'll just ghost again. But seriously, do you think maybe you're a little too available for these so-called friends?

Wow, that situation can really mess with your head; it honestly sounds draining. Have you considered just pulling back a little and seeing how they react? It's easy to slip into feeling like you're overthinking things, but your feelings are totally valid. Sometimes when you give people too much, they start taking it for granted without even realizing. Maybe try connecting with one or two friends on a deeper level... It might be worth testing if any of them are willing to put in that effort when you're not initiating every single time!
