How to find friends who care about you?

4

Why is it so hard to find people who truly care about you and want you to be a part of their lives?
In most friendships I've had, people take forever to reply, never initiate conversations or take interest in me.
But when they need help with something, they're readily available and expect me to fix their problems.
How do I break free from getting into one-sided friendships, and instead find people who want me to be a part of their life?
Am I asking too much for wanting actual friendships with people who care about me and not just use me?
It just seems so rare to come across good, genuine people in this world (at least that's been my experience anyway).

i get u :,)
its hard to find people who actually want to talk to u and are genuine but its difficult because a lot of people have a motive in knowing u
i mean, there have been occasions where ive had friends who would seemingly care but left so easily and without a second thought
there will always be someone out there who would love to know u, but they js dont know it yet

u can always meet people online who maybe have the same interests as u, if its easier
i find that easier because im homeschooled and its how i met my best friend <3

it take time, okay?
i mean, if we have stuff in common (or not) i'd love to b friends with u :o:
