Is leaving people on delivered/read normal nowadays?
I have messaged so many people over the past year or so (trying to stay in contact), but no one has messaged me back. I was wondering if this was a universal experience or if it's just that people don't really like me anymore (or if I'm overthinking it all). I feel like I'm just waiting for someone to reply to me. Could someone please let me know if this is normal or not?
Some examples are written below (you don't have to read them all; I just wanted to share HOW OFTEN this is happening).
Friend 1 - I asked to hang out, left on read - 12 months ago.
Friend 2 - I asked to hang out, left on read - 12 months ago.
Friend 3 - I asked to hang out, left on read - 10 months ago.
Friend 4 - I asked to hang out, left on read - 9 months ago.
Friend 5 - I checked in - left on read 7 months ago. I checked in again + asked to hang out - left on delivered 6 months ago. I said happy birthday; they said "thank you"; I asked how they were/what they had been up to - left on read 5 months ago.
Friend 6 - I checked in - left on delivered 5 months ago.
Friend 7 - (decent conversation with this friend) they said they missed me; I reciprocated and said that life was pretty lonely without them - left on read 3 months ago.
Friend 8 - I asked how they were doing (they just moved countries) - left on delivered 2 months ago.
Friend 9 - I asked to study together + how to sign up for an event - left on read 2 months ago.
Friend 10 - I said happy birthday + asked how they were - left on read 1 month ago.
Friend 11 - I said happy birthday - left on read 3 weeks ago.
Friend 12 - I asked to hang out - left on delivered for 3 weeks; she apologised. I asked to hang out again - left on read for two weeks; she apologised again. I asked to hang out again - left on delivered 2 weeks ago
Friend 13 - I said happy birthday; they said "thank you"; I asked how they were/their plans for the week - left on read 2 weeks ago.
Friend 14 - I asked how they were; they replied. I asked to hang out - left on read for 1 week. I asked to hang out again - left on delivered for 1 week. I asked to hang out again - left on read a few days ago.
I feel really lonely.
