My friends are ignoring me

Priorities..

The priority you give to them is not the same they give to you. It doesn't work when priorities don't match, if you can't change their priorities for you, it's time to change your priorities for them.

just remember to do unto others as they do to you (which is far more pragmatic than the actual quote lol). so [i]if[/i] they say hi, say hi. [i]if[/i] they include you, include them. if they ignore you when you need them, ignore them when they need you. "oh, i'm sorry. well actually, this family thing came up, which is quite important for me". it's a way to make them realize your priorities have changed. You can still say hi and just do as much as they do for you while defining new boundaries subtly like that. They'll catch on soon and will also feel pretty stupid about it. That's how you can slowly "drop" them.

I can't help you, but I do promise this, you'll find this feeling over, and over again... So my recommendation, cultivate self-growth, learn the world is just this way (especially now), and appreciate those who do give back to you.

They're not friends ...

I feel for you, that’s happened to me before.

You need new friends.

You should kill them all.
