For me purely luck tbh. I had the nicest girl come up to ask to be my partner in elementary school who is still my best friends and got paired with the best random roommates and suit mates when I went to college and didn’t know anyone. You could be doing nothing wrong and I’m sorry.

like i spend the time to try and think of presents and even when they went through hard times helping them out with shit, but it’s never returned, idk i feel selfish for complaining about it but they set reminders to get presents for each other and i get literally nothing

I really feel this. I had a falling out with two friends a little while ago because I was going through a hard time and I just asked them if they could periodically check in on me or ask me to hang out or something (it makes me REALLY happy when people reach out to me first). They threw a fit and called me unreasonable, but I felt like I was just asking for the bare minimum :( it ended our friendships entirely because I asked them to simply be a good friend.
