I could be wrong but you talk like someone who is not easily open to others. You want to be, but you're not sure if now is the right time or how much you're ready to reveal. You keep holding back and then you feel isolated. Over time you start to resent the friend who 'never got to know you'. And then you blame them for "tricking" you into thinking they were your friends.
Maybe they were your friend all along? And you just didn't notice the times they paused to listen, and you did not say anything.
