Miranam,
You seem like a wonderful person and a wonderful friend to have. I’m sorry that you’re facing this challenge right now but I’m sure you can turn it into something positive if you can learn from it. I believe you’re giving too much of yourself to these people and because they don’t return that generosity, you feel wronged in a way. I don’t think the lesson here is to get new friends but to control the amount of energy and time you invest in them. Instead, invest that time and energy into yourself. When you find the people worth making that effort for, you’ll know why they’re worth that on a deeper level because of this experience. Everything is an opportunity to grow and learn.

However, if these people are in need of your help, then being appreciated should be the furthest thing from your mind. “True compassion is not about giving or taking. True compassion is doing just what is needed.” We don’t show compassion because we have to, we show compassion because we want it to exist in our own lives. Without people like you, compassion wouldn’t exist in the lives of those around you. Find the strength to show compassion and appreciation as a way of life rather than a means to receive them. What you think is what becomes your reality.

Good luck my friend. Thepathofaronin.blogspot.com is my personal blog and may offer further assistance.
