Well it’s early in the morning here and I’m almost off to work but thanks for the replies.

One of my friends who wouldn’t get back to me became better at doing that this year, after I stopped initiating. But another friend didn’t get back to me at all. So I guess it can go either way.

My h has needed more help this year so naturally I’ve been with him, likewise my parents have needed more of my time and energy. So I am around people, plus I socialise in my workplace on a basic day to day level so luckily I’m not isolated.

On a superficial level I’m fine, I’m the kind of person who can and does make conversation easily, so that’s good. In fact I’d say if you met me you’d never guess the issues I’ve had with one sided friendships.

Actually I read up a bit on one sided friendships yesterday and it was interesting.
