Yeah people seem to call transactional friends actual friends, when it’s more like acquaintances.  It keeps happening to me too, even online. People I used to interact with a lot and considered them friends suddenly stopped “talking” to me! Or they unloaded heavy stuff on me then disappeared! And in some cases these people claimed to have had similar experiences to mine, THEN ghost me after saying they would never treat me that way!!!! Yeah right. They are sorry that happened to me, it sucks, etc. What kind of person does that?! 
I often wonder if Covid played a role. Not saying this behavior is excused but maybe the last 3 years made people even weirder than they already were. In other words, it brought out the worst in people. I posted about it in a similar thread.

Yeah I can relate, except I have no acquaintances to do things with. And I’m not sure that would be a comfort, just more of the same superficial stuff. Right now I talk to no one except one person.
I did read the US has a loneliness epidemic, exacerbated by Covid. People don’t want to even admit to being lonely as there’s a stigma to it, like a lot of things in this shallow, godforsaken country.

Wow, you & I have had very similar experiences! I’ve been contacted by men too online when I placed afs out. Perverts mostly, lol. And if course fake nice guy friend ls who were only interested in sex it seemed like, ugh, So male friends are permanently off my list, lol.
I don’t think that COVID is the issue. People have always been fickle & flaky like thus! Inthinknthat once people don’t need you anymore, they toss you aside as if you were nothing but trash to them.
They lie of course to keep you around. That sucks why they said they’d never do thst to you then leave. It’s like a guy saying he loves you or thst he wants to marry you just so he can trick you into having sex with him, lol 😆 Not quite, but it’s like that in a way.
Be careful next time & pay attention to actions, not words. If they never ask about you, then that is a huge red flag. So is flakiness. And having a lot of issues with people usually that is never their fault.
You & I need to start setting stronger boundaries it derms like. We both tolerated to much b.s for to long. Nice people often get used & abused if they’re to nice & tolerant.
I wish that we lived nearby so that we could be friends in real life, but you probably don’t live in Ca. lol.
