i was trying to make friends, and messaging them about things. some people didn’t seem very interested or they seem to give off less interest if we hanged out, i assumed that they weren’t interested and slowed/stopped communication. however, it turned out not true in a lot of those cases?
one person wanted to be friends, and would send me reels and messages, but stopped initiating. i invited her for food with other friends, and she accepted, and told me she would have gotten me a birthday present if she had known. same thing with another person, but it turned out he was genuinely very busy to even do stuff with his close friends.

I mean, if they are willing to spend their free time with you then that is a good indication that they at least enjoy your company. It is important to make sure the friendship isn’t one-sided. If they always initiate, then they may get the feeling you are not that interested, so make sure you are initiating plans too.
Everyone gets busy from time to time, so don’t take it personally if that happens; however, if they always seem to be busy and don’t initiate anything themselves, that is an indication they might not be interested.
This is a tough one because different people have different ways of showing if they’re interested. u/Kuhlde1337 gave a great answer.
