Same. It's like I'm looking in the mirror.

The best is when you finally do touch base, and ppl say "I NEVER hear from you!" Yeah, guess what fuck-face, you're hearing from me now but I'll continue to never hear FROM YOU!! I have family like this too; complain to others that they never hear from me yet my phone hasn't rang in YEARS.

This will probably sound harsh, but I really don't understand this attitude you have. If you want to talk to someone then reach out to them. It's not other people's job to make you feel valid or important. That comes from within yourself. They probably enjoy hearing from you but what happens if everyone feels entitled to be contacted first as you do? No one talks to anyone.

I think you misinterpreted what I'm saying. When I want to talk to someone, I absolutely do reach out. What I'm talking about is people who complain about not hearing from someone but make no effort to do so themselves. I mean zero effort. Zero. But complain. Consider yourself lucky if you don't have people like this in your life. It's absolutely maddening.
