  We sometimes over attach to people we call friends and we find our actions being met with indifference and our energy being unmatched in this one-sided relationship. Don't overestimate your place in people’s life. Make friends with people that are ready to make friends with you, familiarize yourself with people that want you to, don’t force things, don’t push too hard, normalize having a strong small circle if possible.
