Is it normal for me to not want to let people into my life?

Okay so I have lost a lot of people in my life. For example: Friends, Parents, and pets (that's sort of a reach, but you get the gist) There have been way too many people who have made me empty promises, those people include my father who isn't around anymore, and I've just kind of lost trust in all people because of that. My mother died, and a lot of my 'friends' who promised forever deceived me. So now I guard myself. I don't let people in because I don't want to get hurt again. I don't want to lose those people, whether it's from natural causes, severed ties, or just drifting apart. So what I'm trying to ask is: Is it normal for me to not want to let people into my life? If you answer Thank You so much :) <3

    I have a "friend" Who's a pathetic mooch and has borderline personality disorder plus an egotistical retard! He's a novelty though! Ah the conundrum!

    It's Your Life! Don't You for-get! Keep in mind most people ARE parasitic Hosers that will try and suck as much out of You as they possibly can but You should only make association with those who You can call significant to You So it won't feel as though You've picked up Yet another pathetic mooch!

    Did your pets make empty promises?

    You should let people into your life anyway. Don't be sad about losing them and just try to enjoy the time you spend together. Happiness is just fleeting afterall. It is nice feeling safe and belonging somewhere... but the actual joy comes from the present, not from the future.
