Why don't people answer their phones these days? For people who feel lonely and misheard.

I feel like a fish in a net,
explaining what I want,
laying out all of my needs,
but none if it gets met.
I try to let the anger roll off my back,
but it starts to burden up like rocks in a sack.
I want to find people who respect and listen to me,
not act like I'm crazy.
It's quite simple to respond to my messages,
but instead they act like I'm dumb and send weird visages.
Where is the nice, caring friendly people?
It feels I've been searching forever but maybe I'm
not searching hard enough.
Mom says the right people will come sure enough,
but it feels like finding the diamond in a rough.
People act like communicating is such a nusance these days,
but maybe it's really a phase.
Can someone tell me if this is okay?
I can be a good friend, I really can.
I'll always be you're biggest fan.
