It seemed like it was always me calling them, so I decided to stop calling, and let them call me. As of today everyone has called me except for one. It makes me feel better that I was not aggravating them. I’ll probably start calling them again though maybe not as often.

If you want people to call you back, develop some kind of attractive quality that makes you a fun conversationalist. Look into this.

I never been very good at socializing with people since I was a kid. I try to because I don’t want people thinking I don’t like them.
It’s a skill. Read about it.
I can’t direct you to specific books but just push in that direction if you care. It’s important that you care about it. Pull some directed motivation out of your core and keep at it. Have some external reinforcement if need be, like a new desktop background about that. Practice your conversational skills with strangers on Discord. Don’t practice on your relatives, you might weird them out.

I did this with my friends after I got dxd with sz.
The phone never rang again from a single one

Sorry to hear that. There is just my sister and mom’s friend in California that knew me before SzA. Everybody else are people I’ve met after my diagnosis.
My brother barely contacts us.
But the other day he called me and we talked for a long time.
I guess I’m not that important to him right now.
I’m not going to contact him as much.
I’ll wait for him to contact me.
