Are relationships supposed to be one sided?
>They only talk about themselves
>You have to talk about them or something related to them
>You have to ask questions and try to make it fun or interesting for them
>If you share something about yourself, they are instantly disinterested and don't care
>They don't care to ask you anything and don't want to know anything about you
>The moment you stop making any effort, everything stops
>They're sincerely not interested unless it's sharing something about themselves or their interests
>When they are having a bad day, you want to be there for them. If you are having a bad day, they don't care
>People who only ask how you are so they can talk about their problems
>Friends sometimes need more support after a bad day or life-altering event. That is normal. But if you have a bad day or life-altering event, they literally don't care
>They will dominate a whole conversation no matter how many people are present. If it's a one on one conversation then it feels like it's 90/10.
>Most advice about being a good listener and putting in effort is met with being totally one-sided
>People just talk about themselves constantly
>If you are on a 2 hour date, they'll just talk about themselves constantly
>You may as well be invisible

Honestly sounds like it might be a point of view problem. Maybe you are underestimating how much effort the other parties are putting into the relationship. I did the same thing when I was younger.
