It's not your fault for thinking those friendships were valued both ways.
If you haven't yet, try reaching out to them. If you have and they haven't responded then at least you won't have to deal with people who don't show a genuine interest in you.
It sucks big time and it's rough, but you'll find some like minded people who value your time and willing to make space in theirs for yours if you keep looking.
I like to think I'm somewhat aware emotionally but have a lot of unanswered messages that are hard to look at and just make me doubt my feelings. I'm lucky to have a few good friends, I know that it's more than a lot of people have so I'm thankful to have them and my family: it still just stings since it was for so long and you think you know who you're talking to.
Yeah that does sting. I had that happen to me when I left a hellish workplace and thought I made a friend there bonding through shared suffering under a shitty boss who I could talk to.
It just sucks when it happens, the only thing you can do is make and spend time with those whom have proven again and again that they value making time with you.
It stings, but it'll pass.
Stay strong mate (virtual hug).
🫂 much love
