In every relationship, whether it’s a friendship or something more, there’s always going to be one person who puts more effort into making it work than the other. It happens. Most of the time I try my best to be that one that does more than enough so I don’t leave them with the short end of the stick. It just sucks when it gets to the point where you start to think you’re doing too much, and that you hardly get anything in return. Receiving effort isn’t a big deal but isn’t so much to ask for either. I really question our friendship/relationship when I feel like I’m the only one who cares. It sucks that it’s such a hard thing to bring up. You don’t want them taking it harshly and getting hurt over it. You don’t want to mention it, but sometimes nothing will change unless it’s brought up to subject. It’s hard to ask for something that should be given without being asked or told. It just really loses it’s meaning when it turns into something they feel like they have to or should do, rather than wanting to do it from the bottom of their heart.
