<human>: Dear Reddit,

I'm coming to you for advice from a throwaway because I don't really have anyone I can ask about this IRL.

Growing up, I never had a strong relationship with my family, so I always valued friendships a lot. I knew that I, as a friend, required some extra support because of my family background, so I decided that I have to be an extra decent friend.

If I consider you my good friend, then I'd always be willing to stay up late and lend you an ear for your problems, come through when you need a favor, and initiate contact frequently (asking to hang out etc.) among other things. I am willing to go the extra mile for someone I consider a close friend.

I cannot seem to find friends who are willing to reciprocate these things. I've mostly found people who are willing to take from the friendship, but not give.

I've had best friends in the past who reciprocated and cared about me as much as I did them, but this must have been back in middle school or so. I don't know why I cannot find any now.
 
I probably sound pathetic but please me out, Reddit.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: I try my best to be a really decent friend but I can hardly find people who reciprocate. What is wrong with me?
