Is it normal to be afraid that people don't care for you back?

I've valued alot of people's friendships. Whether we grow apart on good terms or bad terms, if we truly had something special, it takes alot for me to really disregard our friendship. But getting older I feel stupid about caring. I look at the people and moments that really were great times in my life and I value them because they helped shape my life. But these same people go on with their lives and thats that. And it hurts. I don't care to hold them back but I don't get how they just do it.

    I know a lot of people will consider this a very negative comment, but we're all free to judge humanity as we see fit. I stopped depending on other human beings besides my mom and dad. I'm now an adult, and don't expect anyone to stick around or to be loyal. Humans are selfish. I don't mean that to be nasty, but just a statement of (what seems to be) fact. We can be selfless, too, sure, but usually because we're getting something in return. So...

    I don't get attached anymore because especially today when people up and move across the GLOBE at the drop of a hat, the emotional investment just isn't worth it. To me. Some day we'll have machine BFs who'll be far more consistent...
