Noone cares.

Just my two cents. There is only one people in your whole life that is never going to leave you and care about you until the end of it, and that is yourself. Sometimes we forget that because we live in fps mode and we see everyone else from the outside, but like catty mentioned above, it’s a problem of expectations.

We could expect the world from others, and others could promise us the world, but there’s nothing that assures you that it might go that way or not. Life circumstances also play a part, because even if people do genuinely care about you, there’s always something that could change things along the way (nothing is eternal).

Might sound like conformism and it is a tad sad to see it this way, but expecting little to nothing from others and relying more on yourself helps to tone down the disappointments. The rest of people are human, same as us, which makes them all equally important, and prone to the same mistakes, so nope, no one is better off without you either.

At the same time, if we expect less, it makes it a lot more special when someone genuinely cares. Also, you’re not a coward, it takes courage to keep trusting in people when they have failed you, and it’s normal that it makes you feel bad when you don’t see that care reciprocated.
