Imbalance of take and give in friendships

I just want to vent it out here. When a person needs me, he/she will reach out to me in a quick manner and of course, I am glad to help them. However, if I need that said person, he/she would not be available. This is really sad considering I am always the one who give and almost never receive. I might be too sensitive in a sense that I come from a broken home family that has shaped me to be a fragile infividual who always need attention and love.

In addition, this time frame (December) is a critical time window for me as I will take a business school exam. With this condition, I am afraid I wont be succeed in the said exam.

I feel you -- I have many people whom I consider acquaintances, and if they need help with homework or if they want to grab dinner or something because their friends are busy they always come to be, but whenever I try to hang out with them they're always busy and never make time for me. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm not a very interesting person to be around, but I also don't want to cut them off completely because they're pretty much all I've got.
