I am not a person with many friends (socially inept) and I need your opinion in case I did wrong without knowing it.

I usually meet up with a friend about 3-4 times a month to chat. We like each other, we are not the best friends in the world either. It bothers me a lot that she always takes over the conversation, she rarely asks about anything other than herself and when I have to tell her something she is always on her cell phone, I don't feel very listened to...even so I am aware that many people are addicted to phones... Well.

Lately I've been quite busy with work and leisure and sports activities. I don't stay with her that much. I'm also influenced by her attitude towards me, why lie, I don't like staying with someone to feel like they don't pay attention to me.

I don't like to talk a lot through messages, I always prefer to chat in person. She started a conversation, we talked and she didn't answer again for two days (I didn't give it any importance since she was busy at work) today she called me again to meet up but I told her that I wasn't available until next week.

Everything was fine until I saw a hint on their networks clearly directed towards me.

I am aware that I am not the easiest person in the world... I have given a lot in previous friendships and they have completely destroyed me, maybe I am not getting as involved as I should... Am I a bad friend? What do you think?
