Guys, how do you deal with being the one who always has to reach out first?

r/

I’ve noticed I’m only invited or talked to when others aren’t available. I rarely get included unless I reach out first. They can be chilling 5 mins from my home and they will not even bother reaching out to me so i can join. Tried to not call them or text them to see what they are going to do. 6 months passed without hearing ANYTHING from them. But whenever im chilling with them they seem to appreciate my company. So now im confused i dont know the reason for their actions.
I feel like everybody are apart of their group and im here all alone i know everybody but its like i camt be apart of any group.
Just wondering if other guys go through this and how you deal with it.

    Not saying it’s a bad/good thing but that’s how I lost many friends/dates
    At the end I’m okay with that

    Tiring, I stopped doing it. I don’t care anymore.

    I’ve been in similar situations and one-sided friendships like this and I reflected on that today and realized you can’t make people love you, you gotta take care of yourself. I agree, you don’t have to reach out to people like that.

    It’s fucking tiring!! Trying to stay friends as a guy is difficult especially once kids come along
