Yeah, I felt like you did. I would trust someone and they would really disappointment. They'd end up not being the mutual friend I was hoping for or leaving me behind or something like that.
It was hard because I felt like I was putting A LOT into others. I'm not naturally a girl's girl and boys just want to ****. It is incredibly hard for me to have a meaningful friendship. It hurt because I felt like I was trying so hard and getting nothing in return. So this quote

pisses me off. Whenever I have a problem and someone implies that I am not putting IN enough, I get really pissed off.
Well... I decided to just screw everyone for a while and figure out who I am, what I like in people, what people like in me, etc. I found that there were certain people who were reaching out to me, even in my temporary reclusion. Those people, I kept an eye on. I gave more to them. I started keeping anyone who reached out to me closer to me and reached out to them as much as I could. I eventually was better able to feel who is my friend or wants to be and who isn't. And I don't feel offended about these type of matters anymore.
