    I was there for both of them, and never bothered them with any of my issues (because I could handle my own at that time).

    This might actually be a factor.

    It’s counterintuitive, but generally speaking favors build feelings of friendship more strongly for the person doing the favor than the ones who are being helped. By never asking for anything in return you may have unintentionally undermined yourself.
