I feel as though the people in my life are attracted to me because of how I make them feel. I invest in other people's lives, help solve problems, lend an ear, whatever I can do to help. But I don't feel that these people invest back into mine. It used to be that just feeling needed or wanted was enough, but I'm starting to feel like these relationships are 1 way streets. As an introvert, I don't have the liberty to be choosy with friendships.
Has anyone else experienced this dynamic?
You always have the liberty to choose your friendships. With you as friend #1.
