Because in my circle of friends, we don't tend to send "how are you doing?" messages. We get to the point with whatever we need or want to do, or call right away for whatever other reasons.
I know how this can feel as I had people I considered friends to not seem that way, so in time I either left them, or told myself to take them more casually. Casualness greatly helps. Create more serious relationships with people who truly deserve it in your eyes.
Another thing I do is build strength of my own - I keep my hobbies and activities in check. To be honest, it makes me care less about whether others think about me or not. So long as I take care of myself and evolve independently, friends are merely an addition.
And are you treating your anxiety well? Such as exercising, diets, sleeping well, teas, meditation, etc?

Pretty much the only time I talk to people is through whatsapp, I don't have any social media pages or anything like that. I understand what you are saying about being casual friends, I mentally reached that point with most a few years ago. And I agree about what you said about having hobbies, I think in a way not having people to distract me contributes to me spending more time watching movies which is honestly better for me. I just can't believe that no one even sent a message to me when I was gone, especially as some knew I wasn't in the best of places before hand, even if they didn't know the details.
And my anxiety goes up and down, I had a great 2015 but 2016 seemed to get worse and worse, it was a little better when my phone was off. I try to drink mostly water these days, I don't know if that helps. My sleeping pattern was pretty good too, but now I'm up most of the night.
