I have hit a period in my life where all my friends, are getting engaged/ married, having kids, one of them deciding to change careers and go back to school full time. I am genuinely happy for them all if a little jealous.

I am a very single 30 year old man who lives with his mother. I had 5 strokes at 25 and had to move back in with her am now recovered. My mom recently went through a divorce and we had to relocate; we’re now living as roommates in a two bedroom.

I absolutely understand that they have busy lives; but it felt like all the effort to reach out, and keep up was from my end. I’m not going to lie I was a little annoyed, and so I cut back to see if they’d reach out. All communication ground to a halt, and the next time I saw them they made little comments about me dropping off the face of the planet.

I know I’m absolutely half at fault here, but am I overreacting?
