Ever think you're friends

3. Yes , a huge YES,

I've been there, more than a few times. Let me add this to your OP, " and when, you called them, and let them know you would be in town. ( after how many months/ years) did you hear this line from them?
" I was just thinking about you! Or, I was just about to call"
X, people like us, are who we are, what we are supposed to be. I'm a giver, I'll give everything to make others happy, there are takers, and there are opportunist people.
It's just people, I'll accept me as a giver, because, it brought LilBit into my life.if i was anything else, i wouldnt have driven 5 hours, 22 years ago, to have a blind date with MrsK.i would have never met LilBit. Ive lost more than a few friends along my years, but I've gained so much more.
Just trust, what you feel, I felt stupid, when I drove 5 hours for a blind date, but , I was just a Giver back then. It worked out. I'm just suggesting, accept our role in this world. After all, this is DU. Most of us here, are prolly, givers.
Take care, breathe.
