Is it normal that i wish someone got attached to me for once?

I'm referring to people I've had in my life who end up hurting me , betraying me in some way or easily just letting the friendship go and not making an effort to maintain it. I've gotten quite attached to certain people in the past and I was genuine. I feel like most didn't care and weren't attached. I just wish I had someone who also valued me as much as I do them. I would like a best friend that actually doesn't feign their feelings. IIN?

    Everybody wants to be loved and desired. It's one of the most basic of human needs. Id say that this falls pretty squarely within that category. There are people out there for you, someone who is exactly what you need. There are a billion fish in the sea, so go fishing. You may be expecting something from someone that's already in your life that's just not in the cards.

    Why would you think anyone would "feign their feelings" with you? Are you super rich and give away hundred dollar bills like paper? Perhaps they "feign their feelings" because you take them out to 5 star restaurants and pay for it all? Do you buy them all new cars?
    Perhaps if you stop looking for ulterior motives and fake feelings from people, you might not see them. I would imagine all the analyzing you do over friendships and feelings would be quite tiresome for them, so in time, they move on.

    • I know some who pretend- they make it quite obvious with their actions. No I'm far from rich but you don't have to be rich to attract fake people. I highly doubt that my analytical mind pushes them away when 99 ℅ of the time I don't question their words of actions.

        Again, Why Would They Bother to Pretend? What do they get out of it? Is your company so valuable to these people that they would fake their feelings for you?
        Sorry, I just don't get it?
