I guess this really just depends on what they mean by "paying attention to them."
I mean, are they fine with a text or a phone call? Or are they attention whores who get angry if you don't hang out with them all the time?
Are these separate friends or friends as a group?
Basically, you should feel good about the fact that they love you so much that they want you around more. That's the positive part!
Of course, I guess you really just need to know (or find out) what kind of attention they want and give it to them CONDITIONALLY. You can't sacrifice your own happiness and your own life just to make others happy, but if you see that you're just being rude, then make some modifications and strengthen those relationships with a little more attention.
Good luck! Please come back and update us or give us a little more info and we can try to help you a bit more.
I thought I do not need any friends at all. The loneliness after forty years can be sort of monotonous. Do not be sure friends will be friends if they do not see you need them, they are parts of your life.
Do I need less friends I have 7 friends.
