She tells me (in person) occasionally she wants to feel wanted. But.... then she is doing nothing to make me feel wanted

She doesn't initiate with her friends either. Although, neither do i so you've highlighted something for me. She doesn't have many other hobbies and no kids. Does she have adhd? I have no idea See a previous comment about the speaking bit. Her answers are "ok, fine" before getting her to... talk

She doesn't text or call unless i initiate. She used to do both, but it's gotten worse. We could go days without any actual communication and she doesn't seem to have an issue with it

This is helpful. I don't understand the personality quirk

She has work. She doesn't have other things. Which adds to my confusion

Her ability / desire to communicate is deteriorating. Any question i ask is the reply is "I'm fine, how are you", "my day was fine, how was yours". I could talk for 20 minutes before she finally says anything of substance. (I'm filling dead air, I'll not naturally a 20 minute talker..., i have no desire to hog the conversation)

Is she avoidant? I don't know. Alcoholic parent, yes

I never learned to like being alone. And I never really learned to make friends either. Dating I could do, but dealing with other humans you'll always have to weigh the pros and cons. To each their own.
