I Am a Good Listener

I love listening to people I care of and I'm pretty able to put on their shoes and let them express their worries and say to them some encouragement...but I sometimes with specific people I care, don't feel myself listened. I don't use to do the things waiting for something in return but I think that if someone is your friend and cares of you, there must be a little reciprocity. Am I being so much paranoical? Bc things like that makes me doubt about the honesty of the friendship.
