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?

I don't want to sound patronising, but some people are just 'that generous', often questioning they don't become more 'selfish'. You are not alone in this perplexing dilemma, but to turn around on what your soul tells, you doesn't fit most.

You always have the liberty to choose your friendships. With you as friend #1.
