Same even when I only message them once every two or three months.
I've offered people gifts for christmas and their birthdays and never got a single happy birthday.
I've tried playing it cool, and tried playing it upfront. No use.
It also seems like my family members don't care that much about me as when there's a third party coming in everybody just leaves me alone.
At best I'll get someone who tolerates me enough to respond to my messages every few months. Though they'll never go anywhere outside with me of course.

Worst thing is that I'm not even that weird. Nor THAT ugly. There's just something about me.
