Is it normal to hate being a conversation starter?

Lately I feel like I've always got to be the one to initiate any form of communication with friends to get any response out of them. The rest of the time they'll be talking to their other friends and I'm happy that they have other friends I'm not jealous like that but I do feel left out and I don't feel like I'm a priority in their lives what should I do? Should I let them go and move on with my life?

    Maybe you need to find other friends that more resemble you. Friends that have more of the same hobbies as you, more similar taste in music, more similar mind set bla bla.

    I had many friends like you, that you say "I have to be the convo starter" they had other interest that didn't interest me, I had other friends that lived and breathed the same as me, you could not shut ether of us up.

    Well. I stopped calling/texting all my friends because they were like that. Guess what. All the friendships died.

      Same. Although new ones replace them.

        That's good you're making new friends. I kind of gave up on it, at least for now. It was pretty eye opening when everyone basically disappeared.

    I got 2 friends like that, when we are online gaming everything is great. Outside of that though not so much.

    How long have you known these friends, from where do you know them?

        Perhaps you've grown apart?

    I never call anyone because they always do first. It's not intentioned just happens that way.

    Friends come and go. Clearly, you’re not a priority to them. Stop wasting your energy.
