It seems that you have not had the best of luck when it comes to friends.You seem to have made your mind up that all people are the same because you have had some bad experiences with your friendships.Its not a good idea to try to hard in any relationship.My point is, you feel you have to do all the hard work in all your relationships.My advice is to stop,spend some time with yourself.Get to know yourself better and love yourself.Work on your self confidence and you will give off a vibe of self assurance.You will find people will make more of an effort to communicate with you and be around you.
Having read your posting carefully again.I think maybe you could be just going through a bad time with your friends at the moment.Everybody has a time when they need a lot of support and somebody to listen,but everyone is too busy.The times we are living in now everybody is busy and its mostly just to make money or improve career opportunities.
