Is it normal to feel overwhelmed by the bare minimum in friendships?

I never had a female friend who was there when I actually need some help of peace to have.
And I had one for a short period and it felt like I was being heard.
I am now completely begin to doubt all my friendships second guessing because nobody was there when I actually went through a emotional breakdown.

You need to be a better friend; you are not doing well in that area. You get back what you put in. The fact you are posting as an anon suggests you have very little to give.

What more I can give?
Then time, money and ear to listen.
I got used just some months back and dumped as soon as I said no to an event to go to.

I try to be cool then they just start walking over me.

I don't have any interests left now.
Only academic or career relevant. I live mostly on some old movies and series or the new ones which are just avg.
I don't want to be always the giver. Because at the start of every friendship I do that then I get used.
I am only called when they don't have anyone else to. Being the last resort.
