Putting in effort to keep friendships

Why are having friendships with people so hard these days? Especially for people like me. I am a very self reliant and independent person. I’m extroverted so I prefer to be around people just for fun but I feel no real need to have connections with people. It’s also rare I want an actual (platonic or romantic) relationship with someone. Yet I’m always somehow putting in all the effort to keep communication with friends. Always having to text first, makes plans, and be around everyone I’m friends with is be coming exhausting to deal with. I’m starting to no longer want friends anymore because of it. I’m tired of trying so hard for something that I just don’t have to deal with.


Reminder to the public that it’s okay to text first and communicate.

i get this, although i'm an introvert. but you shouldn't always be the one making the first interaction! even if some also have that independence, there should be a balance. you even admitting the way you are with people and yet mainly interacting first already makes you better than the situation you described.
hell it makes you real.
and in my opinion, you're right. if it seems unbalanced, don't fight to make it balanced.

I think I only stay in friendships to prove myself that I can. It’s no longer even fulfilling to me like it should be. Thank you for the advice though!!
