25F. Normally I try to let this stuff roll off my back but I’m on my period so I’m extra emotional right now lol. Basically everyone I’ve been trying to make plans with has been ignoring me or flaked multiple times in a row and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with me. They reach out and seem excited to hang out, and then they cancel right before or the day goes by without any communication. Or I have friends who text that they miss me every once in a while and then literally never initiate hanging out. I know that everyone has their own shit going on and I’m very understanding of any friends who are dealing with rough situations, but I don’t get why it keeps happening with multiple people 🙁
I’ve been struggling with dating as well and feeling SO much more sensitive to rejection & low effort. I know this sounds so self-pitying but it seems to be a common theme in my life that I’m on a low priority list for most of the people in my life (besides family). Maybe I have a blind spot that I’m not recognizing? Am I too forgiving? Am I too monotone when I speak? Am I being rude accidentally or making people feel uncomfortable? I do struggle with social anxiety and I’m not always great at thinking of things to say, but I love to make people laugh and I always try to be supportive and encouraging. I also enjoy talking to new people despite my anxiety. Been going to community ed classes and I always end up having nice conversations with the people there. I just can’t seem to find ongoing friendships or relationships with people who are reliable/consistent.
What do I do? 🙁

I scheduled an entire event that no one showed up to. No lines crossed or anything, just all no shows. Getting people to leave the house since the pandemic is a nightmare.
I flaked on someone I consider to be absolutely 10/10 because I hadn’t slept for 3 days and had a mental breakdown ruining my chances with them :/
