I would rather people say, I'm sorry you are having a hard time but I'm overwhelmed with my own life and I can't be there for you...

Than to be told, I'll call you, just reach out, and never hearing from them.

Just cut the crap.

The lying and fake concern is really hurtful and unnecessary. But I guess if people don't care, why would it matter to them if they mean what they say or not...
