I'm taking stock today of how many people talk to me about about themselves, share their problems, offload their stress, dump their trauma... and they never ask about me or express care for me in any way.

I'm also taking stock of how many of these people are men.

You may want to check yourself for how much you are exploiting the generosity of people around you, especially across social power gradients (cf kyriarchy). It's worth paying attention to. (And then do better.)
