I used to have quite a lot of friends when I was younger, but for some reason I find friendships very difficult these days. I feel let down constantly. I feel I’m always there for other people and inquire about their lives, but never get anything in return. I have noticed that if I do not ask them questions, the conversation falls silent.
My father, for example, is elderly but still active. Whenever I am with him, we only have a nice time when I enquire after him.
