[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry.  I have felt this way a lot over the past couple of years.  I am lucky in that I do have some people who really care about me and my kids, but fewer than I thought I "should".  I thought I was building community here and really I wasn't.  For me, this disappointment has me feeling much more apathetic about national and global events, including elections.  If hardly anyone cares about me, why should I care about them?[/quote]

Thank you. I think as I am getting older I'm realizing people are inherently selfish, and while I don't mind and even like showing people I like them by making efforts, a lot of people won't ever make efforts for me, and do I really want non-reciprocal relationships? Would it be healthier to just be more self-centered and stop caring so much? It might be. I am feeling myself putting up more walls. I just didn't expect to feel that way with someone I felt that close to.[/quote]

This is where I am. I am realizing more and more that people are just generally selfish and self-involved. I have an acquaintance who is always talking about how wonderful her village is, when in actuality it’s all the people who do a stuff for her that she never reciprocates. Where’s my village? Why am I always helping and never receiving. [/quote]
