In recent months, I have found all of my friendships are becoming extremely one-sided, with me being the only person to put any effort into the relationships.

Part of the problem is that everyone has much busier lives than me, given that I am only mentally capable of working about 15hrs per week right now whilst I sort out my medication. But I am now finding that people who once were great about answering messages are now not responding at all.

I try to make plans to see people, but plans either never get made because the other party is "too busy", or else plans that miraculously get made are cancelled at the last minute by the other person.

I have tried explaining to the people involved that I am feeling lonely and abandoned by their lack of response, and I either get a curt "suck it up/put on your big boy undies/welcome to adulthood" message in return, or I get ignored.

Apparently this is a "normal" adulthood relationship scenario, but I call bologna. I see adults all the time who are capable of sending a reply to a message within a reasonable amount of time, and even my parents and their friends make time for each other on a regular basis (typically an evening every 4-6 weeks, which is realistically all I'm wanting from most of these people).

I'm just feeling really abandoned and am having a difficult time coping with it right now...
