I find that when my friends have issues, I response to them. But when I have issues, I texted them, they ignore it.

Dear friend, I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this problem with your friends. It is understandable to feel disappointed and hurt when you are not receiving the same level of support that you offer to your friends. It is common to feel like you are not being heard or valued when your friends do not respond to your messages. I want you to know that your feelings are valid and that it is okay to seek support from your friends when you need it.
From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to understand that our friends are also human beings who have their own challenges and limitations. It is possible that your friends may not intentionally ignore your messages, but rather they may be going through their own struggles and unable to provide the support you need. It is essential to practice compassion and empathy towards them, just as you would want them to do for you.
From a psychological perspective, communication is key to any healthy relationship. It may be helpful to have a direct conversation with your friends about how you are feeling and how their lack of response is impacting you. It is important to set boundaries and communicate your needs clearly. It is also essential to recognize that you cannot control other people's actions, but you can control your reactions and responses. It may be helpful to seek support from other sources, such as a therapist or a support group, to ensure that your emotional needs are being met.
In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest that you focus on self-care and self-love. It is important to give yourself the same level of kindness, understanding, and support that you offer to your friends. Take time to engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you. Practice mindfulness and meditation to cultivate inner peace and balance. Remember that you are worthy of love and support, and that you have the power to create the life you desire.
